Before I even commit the renovation of my house, I bought the master bedroom bed today.

Dunno whether its a good deal or not.

S$2729 for the queen-size mattress + bed frame + mattress protector + 4 pillows.

Originally was S$29XX with 2 pillows, but I "deh" to the sales person and he gave me further discount + additional 2 more pillows.

More purchases (damages) done today...

Cooker hob, hood and oven set.... cannot resist what looks like a really good offer.

And a giant cushion... i mean a cushion from Giant... which is quite a big one.

And one month plus after getting my keys, I finally made up my blardy mind and decided on an ID firm. Gosh.... so went to sign the contract, paid the first 10%, and selected the laminates and wall/floor tiles... all in half a day.

I am never good with color matching (that explains my boring wardrobe), and below is what I have selected with the help of my ID and his senior...

These are wall tiles for the bathroom...

and these are for the other bathroom...

and this is the floor tile for both bathrooms...

This is for the kitchen wall tiles...

and the kitchen floor tiles...

Did not take any pic for the living room/bedrooms floor tiles but I prefer solid color so i picked those beige tiles without any pattern.

Phew... now waiting for ID to come back with the 3D drawings to show how everything looks like. He will also do 3D drawings on the carpentry work, based on the 4 laminate colors that i picked, namely white, black, grey and maroon.

What's next would be to get the lightings... from Taobao... after seeing so many of u guys going there for shopping.

I wonder whether the LED from Taobao will work for long or not.

You can forget abt Gain City for a/c. They used to be good when they were small. Now all a/c installation is outsourced and it depends on the external team sent.

If you buy from Taobao, do consider to buy some spares.

Long time no update this blog... due to my busy work schedule, renovation, running around to source for cheap deals for my new house, and.... plain laziness.

Let me update some pics here.

Before the renovation starts, I did a check on the bunch of keys given to me by the previous owner. Some of them dunno wot keys, and one of the doors got no keys at all. So i decided to change the door knob of the door that has got no keys, and change the dead bolt of the main wooden door for security purpose.

Took me quite some time to change these, but I am quite satisfied with the results.

And then the hacking began.... and made the entire house looked like War of the Worlds scene.

Living room

Partition wall between living room and MBR gone

Kitchen

And the exterior of the house looked like this....

hahaa... the last pic was taken during my trip to LA Universal Studio, the plane crash scene in War of the Worlds.

Common toilet

MBR toilet

And the debris was cleared off, and the sand/cement/tiles shifted in

The lift was spoilt on the day when the workers were shifting the cement/sand/tiles into my unit. Poor thing... they had to take the common lift and carry those stuff up one flight of stairs.
