Wow...finally gotten my fingers to key in my first thread in this T-Blog section!

Been itching to do one since Jan but waited for an apt moment and an auspicious date (to me at least).

Lol. Looks good. Feels good. Is good! This is it then.

My journey begins!

welcome to RT

The Floorplan

Hope this upload comes out right.

Not much to brief or describe. Squarish, rectangular lay out. Easy on the eyes. Pretty straightforward.

Cons

Lil problem. For me, at least. Its a pre-fab unit. That means cant hack walls. Nothing fancy. Any works must be within the HDB book. There goes my open concept kitchen. Should have enquired before signing OTP.

Oh well, on the bright side, i will save costs on this area.

Secondly, no gahment gas pipes laid in this vicinity. Gonna be stuck with LPG gas cylinders. Have to waste one cabinet space just for this barrel. On the bright side, not much since im doing up light box so with gas pipes would have had that covered.

Pros

Massive MBR toilet. Me likes!

Longish kitchen. Sweet!

Windows in the store room. Just what i need. A personal room for my cat(s). Too bad kinda small though.

Near in-laws. Had it not be down to their persuasive skills, i'd probably end up in the west by now.

Near markets, schools and MRT. Though i hate that the nearest expressway is like 8 minutes away. Oh well.

Cant have it all in life. Hehe.

Been living in a rented MBR in woodlands for the past half year. Been living nomadically in other rented places for the past 3 years. Sums up to 5 different units in 3 years for me and my wife.

Glad all this will come to a stop soon.

Completed the 2nd appointment in Feb just before CNY.

Since sellers request for extension of 1 month, will only get keys in 2 weeks time.

Yippee kaye yay!

Wife has been counting down days everyday since the 2nd appt. Lol.

My poor sweetheart.
