A Happy New Year to mmoh & all. :)

RuFus58 - Don't get disheartened by the long wait. I think of the long wait as getting more time to plan for my flat and save more money.

 

Lol...  I wait since 2013... It really a long wait... But have some sliver lining... My BTO is almost done... Its a big project with 14 blocks.. And those flats facing the main road have their dates brought forward twice.. From 1Qtr 2018 to 4 Qtr 2017 and recently to 3 Qtr 2017

 

of coz the suay me... Lol.. Date never change... Still at 1Qtr 2018..  What to do.. HDB give keys by blocks..and i think mine last one.. But as my FB BTO group gets excited.. I also get excited.. Soon.. My turn will come... Till then, need to come here refresh for all the gurus their past advice... :)

RuFus58, don't worry! With time you're able to save up and lessen the burden of cashflow for your new house. It will be a wonderful new chapter in your life too! I applied mine in 2015 and TOP is around 1st quarter 2019. So heads up yeah!

Any ideas u have in mind for ur new cosy nest?

Thanks. Have already endured 4 years.. What is another 1 more year, right.. 

 

I had a lot of dreams for my cosy nest... But sadly... No space... Put one queen size bed means no space for anything else.. No dresser.. No wardrobe... :(  35sqm really very small iszit? I have yet to see a 2 rm of my size.. I really cannot visualize  anything.. But i really liked the design by U Home.. Someone posted it in this thread... Abt. 2rm Moroccan Style.. Did u see it.. That is the style i am looking for...  Very nice....

this my floor plan...

Rufus, have you ever thought of turning your living room into a bedroom equipped with wardrobe and built in dining area? And your living room will take precedence in the current bedroom. That way you could have a better arrangement for your layout and also u get to keep your Queen sized bed.

Or the bedroom can both serve as a living area cum dining area.

Hi RuFus58

The "My Nice Home Gallery" 36sqm bedroom is small but HDB managed to squeeze in a queen bed, wardrobe & study table. It's nautical themed.

The U-Home flat was very nicely done, especially the bathroom. U-Home has a branch at IMM... you can always approach them when the time comes.

Which BTO Project, bro for 37 SQM? For your flat you need custom made furniture, i.e. Hidden Wall Bed cum Wardrobe to achieve it for maximum Queen Size bed. Unless you willing to downgrade to Single Bed for sleep pad in your bedroom, bro. 

Hey folks,

You know some of the 2room flats got this Sliding Door between Bedroom and Living Room.
Is it considered Hacking Job if I wanna remove this Sliding Door?

*Edit* nevermind, got my answer from IDs.

Ya removal of sliding door is considered hacking.
But this sort of hacking no need to apply permit it seems.
