My 1St Em @Serangoon N

Recommended Posts

I almost couldn't locate my blog as I have not updated it for quite some time.

It's has been almost a month after moving into my EM .... very happy and comfortable in my new place.

I am very glad that the unpacking process is almost over ... just completed unpacking the 100th carton box.:dancingqueen:

Today, I have requested my mover to collect back the 100 no. of carton boxes and have gotten back my deposit.

As I did not have any build-storage for all my rooms, I was at Ikea Tampines on Moday and managed to pick up 10 pieces of tall shelving for storage purposes - mainly bookracks and display cabinets.

I chose white finishing for all the pieces.

Paid them for delivery and installation charges ..... @ least for now, I m assured that I would have enough storage space to put all my barang-barang :good:

Hope that everything will be in order and the mess cleared up by this weekend :)

Just completed my final reno payment to my ID company. Everything has been rectified to my satisfaction. If you still remember my staircase problem, I had it rework and my ID did not make me pay for the rework.... Thank God!

IKEA installers are here today to fix up all my bookracks and display shelves I had purchased :)

Total cost for furnishing from IKEA is about 2k. This amounts to about 3 to 4k of savings if had done built in.

Thanks Angel, u can have green fingers too! Just like us, we just need to give them care ..... they need air, water, plenty of sunlight and right amount of nutrients :)

Experience counts too, after a while, u will understand the plants better.

So, after your reno is completed, u may want to try out.
