Hi guys,

Finally my turn to document the before & after as well as the process to remake my old and ugly cum out-dated house which I have been living in it for the past 14 years ... Arghz :(! :thumbs up:

It's very messy and ugly ... so please bear with it ...

Although I have not decided to use Kelvin from Gplan or Kenny from Spacious, but I have quite definate to remake my house into the theme of "modern, simplistic & high end"

Any comments and suggestions are welcomed as the process starts .....

First ... Sharing with you guys the Buddha statue which i got from Japan and placed in my room ... :P Taking this chance to give praise and adoration to my Lord Buddha who gave me strength and blessings for the past 25 years of my life, guiding me in turbulent times, blessing me in times which I may not know and giving me shield in times of spiritual retrogression. :bangwall:

Hi Cai's,

Nice to see meet you.

Your entrace look exactly like mine...those famous arches :good: Now i know how your "crack" marble looks like... :P

I'm sure your place will be come out looking modern, spacious & neat if you have more hidden storage & do not have so many unnecessary items.

Cheers :)

Well, I am trying my best to throw everything away ... as much as i can ...

Lol.. "famous" arches ?? haha .. i call it Orbit ones ...

well, my home is overly spacious ... duno why old houese seems to be so big .. haiZz ... which means more money to renovate ...

meeting both IDs today ...

I also noticed that most people when they move in after some time, they dun tend to remake their home, i walk thru my whole block and found tat all houses look like mine .. how come ah ?? maybe same era houses ????

lol :P

wow... well the good thing is from the mess.. u will be able to see a great transformation when it is done uP.. cant wait to see that happen!! :) have fun with the reno!!

the dog in the pix quite handsome leh, and not really big lah

hopefully they will not be too traumatised by the noise and sudden influx of human traffic :(

for me i dun believe in trends coz i'm gonna stay there for the next 10 years at least

so must find something i'm comfortable with

'in' or not, i dun care :)

Dogs :jawdrop:!! i haven tot of how am i going to deal with them durin reno .. goodness :)! ANY SUGGESTIONS where to send them to ?

maybe my current make over will look old n outdated 10 years latter again ....

just look at that ugly kitchen i have now .. even if it is clean n tidy it still looks so odd n orbiang .. **** :)!!

met Spacious ID kenny yesterday and waiting for Kelvin from Gplan now ... haiz .. really headache ..

oh dear, if send them somewhere else more traumatised right?

or maybe you can lock up one room with them inside so that they would be frightened?

guess all that matters is how comfortable you are with the way your place looks

for me it's not important as long as i have somewhere to nua after work and my babies are happy :(

Hi Bro, looking at ur room remind me of my previous room too. :sport-smiley-004: And most impt after ur transformation u still must maintain it neat and tidy. :P

Maybe u can put ur dogs at some pet hotel, they normally charge on daily rate. :P

Have u consider Intra Design, they are highly recommend by me. :disturb:

So paiseh .. everyone's here is lovenest, mine so odd out .. bachelor's den ... LOl :P!! :sport-smiley-004:
