Placing the "Ong Lye" carefully outside our unit, standing by for "Roll my Ong Lye" ceremony.... wife is very nice to let me roll the "Ong Lye" :) One may not get to do this ceremony many times in his/her lifetime.. ... and we enjoyed every second of it .. ...

Luckily, "Ong Lye" stopped in the middle of flat, which we heard is a good thing :)

Life for most Singaporeans is all about this moment isn't it... we study hard in School, we work hard, we fell in love with our SO, and we applied to get our very own house.. ... this is the moment.... for wife n me, after 10 yrs together , we hope that this place will bring us lots of laughters n good time together...

we intend to platform up the living area after the staircase wall using laminate wood so as to create a more cosy living/TV area... choosing the correct laminate wood tone will be a challenge

We're quite glad that the parquet floor on the upper level, upon close scrutiny by wife yesterday, is really in good condition.... we'll only need to polish and re-varnish them .... save quite alot here.. ...

only thing here is the old fashioned arch doors :( but we are keeping the doors for now due to cost savings and also the fact that they are in good condition, hope painting them white will do the trick :o

2nd floor passageway :

Common room (This common room share a same wall to the common toilet, we are contemplating pulling down the wall to create a link toilet :
