Yes last night we were trawling all the websites that we can think of for that silly fan! I also text my JB cousin and he says nowadays JB shops usually charge same rates to both Singaporeans and Johorians. That is why the cost of living in Johor is higher than the other parts of Malaysia (except KL). He also added that Jalan Rosmerah (where Ho Seh is located) is a good area to shop for house stuff - many shops located on the few roads there and easy to move around. But Jalan Rosmerah is not near to both the causeways, in fact it is around 10km from Woodlands-JB CIQ.

Anyways going to make back-up plans if the Vento Fino fan is really out of reach; it doesn't make sense to spend over SGD400 for a small little fan and furthermore, confirmed, it only moves up & down

Wa sian... Anyway the guy told me price is nego. Will trying calling.

Hi Makanolgy,

I am moving into BB also.....should be starting to renovate on 3rd May.

Dun be too affected by e seller. Keep e ideas going Jiayou!

Ya we must 加油! Just now we met the sellers (or half of the seller since Mrs Seller not around). The meeting was very drama with all sorts of reasons thrown out.... It gets more and more ridiculous. Deadline to them is tomorrow 8pm and if they still insist on canceling the sale, we will bring in the lawyer.

Haiz! Sianz isn't it? Hang in there!

Yes super sianz so we went to the Self Fix at our side to learn more about DIY stuff eg furniture restorer, spray paint etc. and I finally saw the spin mop going at $67 (member's price). I hardly do housework so this is new to me. The other day, my friend was telling me about this!

This is what we bought a few days ago online:

Hi sorry didn't reply your PM. Today is an emotional roller-coaster for us. We bought our place at block 3XX; sorry can't tell you much now as we are fighting for the house with our sellers who suddenly want to back out after our 1st appointment! Our 2nd appt has even been set on 24 April so by right we are supposed to start renovation around the same time as yours... Hopefully all will go well

To cheer up, we turn to our other favorite friend:

Sorry to hear about the trouble you're going through hope everything works out for you in the end!

Hope so... Sh*t happens

This is going to be our next DIY project after we finish the ikea accordion lamps (trying to choose & source the color) and sewing machine legs.

Project Sofa! by Makanology, on Flickr

Approx 25 years old mahogany teak sofa (2 seater + armchair + foot stool with matching coffee table/ side table). From my future MIL and we will restore this! Looking forward to choosing the fabric designs & colors!

my uncle will love you. i refused all his wooden stuff. he had to leave them behind as he will be in UK for 2 years at least.

anyway, do cheer up =) Things will work themselves out.

I am surprised our taste change when we grow older. When younger, we only want contemporary and sleek decor... And then we probably go through a 'resort-feel' phase and now we go into a vintage & eclectic phase!
