We are changing...Address !

What are you thinking huh? dirty minded..Haha

We are almost there

There are just too many boxes to clear and I obviously can't do it all by myself. Thanks M for coming over after work to help me and Ben lined them up nicely. Yeah, now the whole world know my wc named Kelly.haha...
It was pouring like crazy at 11plus at night and we were all exhausted but still, we needed to walk back to parents' place. See the matching colours? And that's my Mr. Ben

Door Lock

We changed all the door locks in the house including our main door lock! Ben had fun changing them and even offers free service to anyone who wanna change theirs. Haha..

What is around the corner?

Chemical Wash

After clearing all debris, boxes and sweeping the floor, the 2 cleaners wash the whole house from 7:30am to 2:30pm, using only 2 large towel! I am glad I don't have to clean them all by myself as James knows daddy was admitted and I do not have enough time to wash the house, he got them to clean up our window grill as well! Thanks James for getting them to come back on Friday morning to do second cleaning foc.

IKEA part 3

Saw the price list?

Big Day after our big day !

We've got a date for moving in !! Oh..finally..

Fengshui

I've been trying to make appointment with Master Lee since don't know when..oh yah, before cny but he was soooooo busy until today, we finally meet up! We were supposed to meet last week but he "fly kite" la~ because one of his filthy rich customer flew him to Shanghai, HK and Guangzhou for fengshui consultation and after viewing our new place, he will fly to Dubai, Vietnam, Indonesia and Korea because this fellow's companies are all over the world! *stop ranting*

Both of our families know each other more than 10 years and I only know that him as a Geomancer but never thought of consulting him until 1.5 years back. Obviously he is very accurate in geomancy, or else I would have hired others to see our house. Sometimes, we don't just believe what they said blindly, we take it as a piece of advice and we still think that we are the one who are responsible for our own well being. But at least I've also learnt something from him. It is fun to listen to him, he is good at reasoning. Haha. If you're keen to know more about him, email me.

Besides, many many thanks to James and my painters for their patience. After the consultation, I had to change the paint colours for my walls, yeah, 5 of them. I'm terribly sorry!! Will get some cakes over tomorrow.

VHive

I used to think their furniture are not good but for budget constraint, we have no choice but walk into vhive and you know what, today is the second time for us to walk in to the same store and said, " we want this coffee table to be delivered on coming Friday together with the tv console we bought on Sat. Thanks!" Yeah, their furniture are really cheap!

We have it too..

It is like a must to have this in almost everyone's house(esp young couples). I think it started to be quite popular at least 5 years back and I also have it done at mum's house during our reno 2 years back. It wasn't very expensive back then, $1.5k for 3 bedrooms. Today, we paid almost $4k !(much bigger space la) But I am very happy with the effect and workmanship after viewing them. Well, I wasn't feeling well this morning so I thought of coming tomorrow to take a look BUT I decided to come over after napping and you know what, NO MORE PAIN after viewing the floor!!! Ben saw his room and I can see a big grin on his face.

Air Con Installation

We are almost there...

More Delivery..

That also means more money spent BUT well spent as I am really looking forward my functional kitchen! I choose the layout, cabinets design as well as the colour for my acrylic solid surface. James told me the last thing I am going to see is definitely my kitchen. I've uploaded the isometric view of my dry kitchen, so happy! Can't stop looking at it.

In LOVE with colours...

For some reasons I have to choose a very hk colour for our mbr but I love it so much when the painter painted the first coat onto our wall, it really makes the room looks sweeter and so cheerful.

As for Ben's workstation, he got the colour he picked and he claimed that the best looking workstation he've ever seen so far also uses this colour. Well, he has yet to see his room today..

"Genius Colour" for our wawee's room. Don't laugh at me, I've started to make the room looks so babyish. Haha..why did I choose this colour? It is because I don't know if our first born will be a girl or boy.

Ben is a handyman too..

It really save us quite a bit when we D-i-Y. I think James will raise his eyebrows when he sees these tomorrow morning. *wink*

Plumbing Work

WC and Basin were delivered on Wednesday and Thursday respectively

and when you see the empty box here, that means the items had already been installed.Yeah, after the "wire men" left, the plumbers came we realised (The Silly me) bought the wrong water taps and I went back to Jln Besar (AGAIN) to get them changed and bought another 2 chrome waste trap for the basin to make them look "sexier" Haha... Since we were at JB, we went for tauhue before visiting Henry's shop (Royal fanco) to order more stuff. Then we headed to Peninsular to get 2 guitar holders (finally).

Rewiring

After the wet work has completed (95%), then we have our "wire men" to run the show..

WC and Basin

Just like other couples, we went to the "standard place" to look for wc and basin and we visited a few popular stores recommended by many people. No luck, so we hailed a cab and go all the way to Changi Lane. Oh yeah, we were at Lavender Food Square, how can we miss these food at Jalan Besar.

*tearing* After another 2 hours walk in this big building, thank god we found the items and goods will be delivered to us on coming Wednesday. Ben said I should have brought him here instead of those "mini store" at JBesar. I came here 2 years back with Nat and Chris while we were renovating mum's place, there are so many wc and basin, there is even a long bath costs only $48! Total damage : $400 plus and we still need to get another wc from Royal Fanco or IMM.
