El Nino_Al Nito 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2010 thanks el nino... can't wait to live there sooner... then i can shut my kid outside the door while i take a relaxing good soak in the bathroom.. keke nope, i haven't shop for tubs.. and i didn't even check out what tubs available in the market leh, cos i have not found a contractor yet thus didn't do any on site measurements.. haha, i don't mind a sleek theme for bathroom, with a modern touch.. but hubby prefer resort style leh.. haha.. your wife really very cute.. good for you, can get a longer tub.. btw, how much does a tub cost now ah? i got absolutely no idea. kids eh? i foresee they will wna hog ur tub too... ahhh...what'll i do now for a good soak and read whilst listening to some Micheal Buble....oh wait, the image of my wife hosing down the wall is ruining this moment of solitude... quite a number of shops along balestier and jalan besar sells tubs...park mall also got one but costly to me.. depending on dimensions, material etc, costs can be between low $200 to $2k upwards...then must bear in mind construction and piping of the tubs etc easily another $500 to $700 based on what i was quoted... oh yah, best u dun buy first, get site measurement confirmed by ur ID/contractor then look for those exact dimensions...otherwise very leceh gotta change this and that...btw, good luck on ur ID/contractor search! make sure u find one before getting the house keys yah...

lilithfiend 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2010 hehehe...yeah, my sweetheart is quite a character. Funniest, most adorable woman i've known personally. hands down. deep down i know she originated from cartoon network background. i hope u get to live ur dream too! kitchen was my most planned room followed by the bathroom. will u be combining ur two bedrooms? any chance ur utilities room can be waterproofed and half converted into a bath area? cartoon network background?! lol..you also very funny...haha nope we won't be combining the two rooms cos don't wanna affect the resale value as we intend to sell after 5 years. and mr. hdb don't allow bathroom extensions more than 0.6m2 (which is so super pathetic a space they might as well say no extensions at all) so even if we wanted to expand the bathroom into the utility room, it's not going to be (legally) possible. we will try to extend it to the max la but it all lies in the hands of mr. hdb.

Angteko 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2010 coz like what u mentioned mah...abit mah fan if wanna have quick shower must climb into the tub...some more maintenance would be a chore with all the suds and shampoo etc..now we still young and vibrant ok la...30 years later after we finish paying hdb loan then realised can no longer get into the tub liao...haha 2hrs in the bath eh? now u tempt me to consider getting a sauna heater and expand that bathroom...otherwise all the soaking without sauna no point hor..haha lucky for me all my walls cannot hack, else i can push my bed into the other room and really enlarge the bathroom...wahahaha haha..thats a fantastic idea leh. U probably can use the whole room as your spa room liao. Mayb u will be the 1st person to do that in HDB? That could be a good selling point next time, no need wait till 30yrs liao, ask for 100k COV. keke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angteko 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2010 Cats Room *I totally forgot to take MBR and toilets pics that day. Was pissed coz my hp reception went blank on me that afternoon whilst waiting for Mr Yeak at the flat. Because of the hp (and singtel's cranky network reception), i thot he was late. Then he thot i havent come up to the flat since he cant call thru to me. Lucky he waited for half an hour. When i called him on my wife's hp, he said almost gonna give me another half hour before going off. Thumbs up to Mr Yeak for always being prompt and on time and for the patience to wait for me whilst my hp and singtel mobile got itself constipated that day. El Nino, whats this cats room abt?? So interesting. Is this suppose to be the store room?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Location is at 21 Changi South Ave 2. I went down yesterday evening to see if i can find anything i like. this weekend going balestier to see if they have what i liked at sim siang choon. Lol! actually, i didnt give much thot to taps and mixers etc...initially i thot maybe $200 budget for all taps and mixers are enough...boy was i wrong sia! most costs $100 and above!!! cut throat! and the one i really fancied from hansa costs $5k leh...freaks! hmmm for credit card holders ah? den i not valid lor...i dun have any and not interested to get anytime soon. maybe i get simple2 taps and mixers since my wife bo chup on these except for kitchen sink...she said got water come out can already mah..

El Nino_Al Nito 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2010 El Nino, whats this cats room abt?? So interesting. Is this suppose to be the store room?? Dude, glad u asked! Yah, its a store room which im converting into my cat(s) room. Dun like to keep him in a cage when im not at home, so was very pleased that this flat's store room got windows for ventilation and my cat to 'wash' his eyes. Lol. Sux that its abit small to my standard but will do for now lor. Here are some pics on what i had planned for my lil darling... Cat Condo Cat Shelves It will be top hung windows with 1 KDK ventilation fan and probably some wire mesh if i feel he has learned how to open the windows (highly doubtful tho) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
