you like choya too? i like them as well and i have all favours in my fridge. that is why i got not much space in my fridge. heheheeh....

yes!! i like anything ume (Japanese plum)~ :dribble:

yeaa... stressful period to start a family... everything on the rise, but salary still no change. hahaha.. i no choice but need a maid because of my baby as both my wife n i need to work. and we are not so fortunate to have my mother or motherin-law to stay with us to help us baby sit. so, L L.

my maid still on the $350+ salary. but sooner or later she will pressure me liao. then i will go pressure my boss... hahaha..

my fren hor, everyday drives from Sengkang to Queenstown to drop their kids at in-law's, then ferry wife to Jurong East to work, then himself drives to Senoko for work... super long journey... that's the price to pay with not having maid......

Hi steelze, thanks for your advice. I already went to halfary and also SBH (at changi road). Took quite a few samples for me to think abt it at home. More or less confirmed what i wanted.....

do you think its nicer with backing glass or tiles for the area between top and bottom kitchen cabinet?

is it early to start to prepare? i just want to make sure that i can finish all planning before the start of reno cos i only have exactly 5 weeks to do reno. No delays are allowed as i need to move out of my current rented place by 30th Apr.

i'd love to have glass backsplash but didn't do due to budget constraint :(

We told Henry we only had 4 weeks to reno, but ended up taking 6 weeks due to many unforeseen circumstances... like you, my hubby also supposedly die die need to move but in the end, he had no choice but extended his rental for 2 extra weeks, it was good that he has a very nice landlord...

you may wanna discuss with your landlord first to leave some buffer, cos sometimes is not anyone's fault, just that you may really need that additional time for reno.
