Just for record. I DON'T MAKE COMMISSION FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.

It's out of goodwill. Her Tiler is Xiao Hei, Electrician is Bobby, Carpentry is Ah Xian., The finishing uncle i forget his name liao, stays in johor near KSL.

Say Alex@retro clementi recommend one. Better give good price! Dorothy 94507007.

thanks for MK's recommendation, we are about 80% confirm will engage her service. waiting for her revised quote and going to choose tiles this Saturday.

me and my wife are those with no idea / opinion type. so Dorothy has really provided us with a lot of input. her price is also very reasonable and neagotiable. she is a very friendly and dedicated person. :)

Your brown staircase tiles, do you consider using brown silicon to cover the black lines in between. It may look seamless.

Is brown silicon same as brown grout color?

Hi redder, Alan's number is 9889 2008 while vacanthost has given Dorothy's number above. Good luck! Both of them are good in their own ways so it depends on who you are most comfy with.

Hi MK,

As far as I know it is grout cement, he used it for the red brick walls as we wanted something whitish red and for our brown and black bathroom tiles. =)

Feeling down so to drive away the blues, we went shopping just now. Bought the world's 1st Tui Na leg massager:

Age is certainly catching up and both Mr E and I use this all the time at my Mom's place. It is time to invest in our own.

oohhh.... foot massager. I'm looking to upgrade my old dinosaur. So shiok to use this at the end of a hectic day - I always get a 'buzz' in my feet after using my dinosaur. Can share how much you go this for? Any freebies?

Hi 3Dyms, bought it at IMM Osim corner at Best Denki... No GSS promotion but the sales guy, Teck Leong extended the Mother's Day promo of $628 (self-collection) or $658 (incl delivery). For either option, he is willing to help us keep the stock till mid June. We took the 1st option as we realized the massager is about the weight of 1 carton bricks only (20kg) lol... If we can manage 10 cartons of bricks, this is chicken feet to us!

Hmmm the HDB meter boxes look so out of place and yellowish. I don't think town council will change if we request hahaha. Not sure if we are allowed to paint it white so as to match our new windows?!

Yay! Kitchen flooring almost done except some touch up to the washing machine base. Pardon the poorly-taken picture using the iPhone

The botak corner area is un-tiled for the full height cabinet to house the microwave oven etc.

Haha this wasn't planned so Ah Meng used whatever tiles that were in excess. Pro - color super match/ con - hmmm bears some resemblance to Malay culture but luckily Mr E has Malay blood from his ancestors so pass!

Waahh....!!! This is **** nice lah. Love love it. :dribble: The tiler is so smart to mix & match. Super initiative. Your Mr E is peranakan?
