Ta Dah!!!

Busy keeping the house clean whilst awaitng the arrival of my furniture... WOW!!! There're even more things to clean after the furniture arrived. Glad that everything turned out really lovely and for that I have to thank my designer for his help over the past few months.

He's been really a great help.

Purchased our maroon colour shaggy carpet and the colour turned out really great. The final item will be the curtains.

Cinderella

Been a long time since I last updated my blog. Still down with cough... visited the doctor for the third time and the antibiotics is still going on... Aaaarrghhhh!!!

Well, spent most of my weekends cleaning up my love nest. The Princess is long last doing housework at last. Ha ha... no more nice manicured nails and made up face for the weekends... more & more auntie liao.

My furniture will be arriving this friday and I'm really excited tis week cos going see how my house is like with all the furniture in.

Keep my fingers cross that all will be well!

More updates

The plumber has fixed for us the rainforest shower and shower mixer. Can't wait to take a nice bath in my toilet.

The picture above shows that my household shelter is hidden behind the mirror. Am happy with the effect as my house looks much more spacious now.

Next thing to settle... CURTAINS!!!

Sparkles

Collected my 0.7 carat diamond ring on saturday. Wow... it's definitely a lot bigger from the previous one i had.

Thanks dear for the ring!

More updates of my house

Went to my house on Sunday to "look look see see"... Tada! My service yard window is up liao. To protect our aircon from the 2nd round of painting, ah dear had to climb and wrap up our aircon units.
They have boxed up my gas pipe in the kitchen. Isn't it much neater now?
Will be on leave on Wednesday for the installation of the bathroom accessories. Hope the ID can get all done and handover to us soon. So much excitement to look forward too...

Hello Kitty!

Saw this Hello Kitty car at IMM on one of the weekends. I love Hello Kitty so I just couldn't resist myself and had to take a picture of it.

Upgrade of Diamond Ring

Yippee...!!! Ah lau made arrangement with Ace of Lee Hwa for an appointment and I went there yesterday to make my selection for my ring. He decided to buy me the 0.70 carat diamond ring. Thanks a lot dear!

Anyway, the ring is now with them for alteration of ring size so gotta wait for 2 weeks before it's done.

Dear, if you are reading this, thank you very much.... Hugs! Muacks!

Kitchen Top & Vanity Light

Wow... my granite kitchen top is up. love the kitchen but can't wait to see more done cos the carpenter is rectifiying my TV feature wall and we have to wait for the laminate to arrive. Mr Tan has added the lights for the toilets. My masterbedroom toilet's mirror cabinet is half done and the light is also wrong as it is suppose to be for the entire stretch using warm lights. ID will inform Mr Tan to make the necessary changes.

Can't wait to see more updates...

More buys for my Love Nest

Met up with my ID at my place ytday to go thru some stuff... saw that many of the capentry works are almost done... Cool!

Went shopping with Ah Lau and parents again... Bought our toilet hook and shelvings from Sparco at Balestier then headed to IMM for purchase of more bathroom stuff. Spent a lot of time at IMM recently.

Went to SIMS but couldn't find the rainforest shower of our choice. There we are again back to Hoe Kee. At last, the rainforest shower of our choice. Ended spending $820.00 there. Bought 2 rainforest shower for both toilets and our kitchen sink tap.

Left happily cos we thought we have gotten everything. When we went to the new house... OMG!!! we forgot to buy the doorbell!

Some photos on my reno progress!

Been busy with work so can't find time to head up to my new place on weekdays. Poor ah lau have to go and take pictures to update me on the progress.

The interior designer is moving like bullet train... it was lightings first and suddenly, the carpentry are up....Amazing! Luckily my parents and bro liked how my place is turning out to be, if not the nagging will start liao.


Here are some photos for your viewing... enjoy!!!

Someone Special called William...

WILLIAM... that's the name that my ah dear chose for himself.

Tried to call him William and it's hard when I have called him Weiliang for almost 8 years.

Will try to get use to calling him William... :-)

Busy Me

Been so busy at work... deadlines and more deadlines but limited time... sometimes i just wish that there are many more hours in a day.

Went shopping again over the weekend and bought my home theater system from Philips. Didn't expect myself to buy Philips too. Sure am amazed by the technology and sound quality that Philips have. Gotta get more DVDs for myself... hee hee...

My lights are up... Kept "wowing" till ah lau buay tahan me. Now can't wait to see the carpentry works up.

Yeah! Lights are all settled!!!

Went to our new place ytday, the false ceiling is done up, relocation of some switches & wiring for the lights. Great to see all these done cos the painting will start next week.

Had lunch at Old Airport Road... The kway chap is simply "sedap"... shiok man. Went shopping things are really running smoothly. Went to Eurolux located somewhere near Geylang Serai to get my dining, 2 bedroom and kitchen lights. After our purchase, my parents, ah lau & I headed to The Furniture Mall to confirm our dining table from Cellini. Last pit stop at Balestier. Bought our toilet, svc yard, H/H shelter and halogen lights.... At last, more things to strike off my list...

Should be able to see my lights up by this weekend... Can't wait!!!

Bought another 2 items

Wow! it's an extremely busy weekend for me since Friday. Ah Lau & I managed to get our bed and coffee table. Both of us like our coffee table a lot but hope it'll blend in with the design of our house.

Still, my list of things to get seems never ending.... buy a few but there are always exclaimations of "Ya Hor!!! still need to get this leh...."

Been having lots of pimples popping out cos of the stress from both work and the house. Worse of all, seen the doc on sat and he said that I have low blood pressure. Maybe must ask my ah lau to make me angry then blood pressure will rise to normal... haha!!!

Gotta get my beauty rest liao... Nitezzzzzz...........

Aircon trunking done on 28 Sep 2007

The aircon trunkings are up at last. Thanks to my ID Winson and Gain City's Mr Chong (or Zhong). Am very happy with the great job done! Was so worried bout the aircon trunking being messy.

Now will head to buy more stuff liao...

Another Item Settled

Went to IMM today to shop and meet my ID. The moment I hit the shops, i got myself a pair of jeans. Shopping is definitely a woman's forte.

Well, proceeded to meet up with my ID and manage to settle most of our outstanding matters. Got his advice on the types of sofa, dining table, lights to get. What to do next after meeting him, well it's back to shopping again.

Was walking around when we chanced upon tis particular sofa at The Furniture Club. When ah lau set on it, his face lit up. I was impressed by the many functions of tis sofa despite it looking so plain and simple. Original price is at $3,888 but now going for $2,500. After a long discussion with the salesgirl, we signed our purchase. Managed to get 4 free cushions to go along with the sofa. It's a rewarding day today...

Gotta get ready now for the clash of the titans... MAN U vs CHELSEA!!!

Defects Settled!!

Went down to punggol today and my oh my.... I'm in a really good mood. The defects in my house have been settled. Thanks to my parents who went to inspect on the workers so that they will not add on to the defects.

Guess reno will be able to start soon liao.

Countdown

It's Thursday and the weekend will be here soon... Our 37" TV will be delivered tis sat and I gotta go to the new house to check all the rectifications for the defects, sign off and get the key back.

At last, renovation should be starting soon... Yippee!!! gotta finalise some designs with ID this weekend. Aircon guys coming to get the trunking done next friday.

Too tired to continue... gonna sign off for today.

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz......

Shopped Till I Drop

It's another early day today. Met up with my interior designer at Expo to select the materials for my house. Like the materials that were shown to us. We kinda decided quite fast but when it came to the selection for the built in wardrobe, my ah lau was cracking his head hard and flipping through the selection.

To my astonishment, he came out with this brillant combination that I really liked... that's great! Proud of you dear!

Anyway, proceeded to our place for appt with electrician. ID explained to him and think our bill should add up to $1,284.00 at the moment cos we are relocating some points too. After ID & electrician left, my parents, ah lau & myself proceeded to clean up the place. Too dusty after all the rectification works.

Headed to IMM at bout 6pm. Got out Panasonic System 3 from Gain City for $2,170.00 (with 5yr warranty). This includes the $120.00 for upgrade of insulation and $50.00 for 2 times installation. Think the 2 times installation is good as the painting can be done properly before the aircon goes up.

Guess the buying never stops.... still got lights, bathroom accessories, curtains, etc....

OMG!!!

Went to sundial ytday and saw a car flipped on it's side just outside punggol plaza. There was petrol that flowed out of the car. Hope that everyone is fine....

Headed to Harvey Norman to finalise some purchases. Bought a 32" Toshiba LCD from them but did not use it yet, so had to upsize it to a 37" for the hall. 32" is too big for my master bedroom. Nonetheless, did our comparison of prices at a few known shops outside before heading there.

I got my 37" Toshiba LCD TV (topped up $1029.00), latest brandt washing machine @ $880.00 and panasonic fridge @ $1,600.00.

Glad that we are still working within our budget.... Today will have to go and blow another $2,000.00 for the Panasonic System 3 aircon with Gain City as they are offering 5 years warranty and offer ends today.

Pocket Burnt

Went shopping again for the house... expect the damage to be quite a lot as these are the inevitable stuff that we have to definitely get for the house.
Went to Hoe Kee at IMM and purchased the following:
1) Tecno hood and hob for $640.00
2) Ariston 15l storage heater for $191.00
3) Blanco stainless steel sink for $295.00

the lady there did not give us too much discount on the stainless steel sink as Blanco price is more or less controlled.

more to come this weekend when we purchase our System 3 aircon man...

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Another older today. Wondering will my "911" birthday be another exciting day.

Had a black out in Newton when my friends lit the candles on my birthday cake when i was 20.

World Trade Centre in US was attacked when I was 21 while cutting my cake at home.

A nice surprise came from my hubby this year cos he ganged up with my parents and suddenly while i was doing my stuff in my room last night, he suddenly appeared at my room door with the Man U jersey. He's such a dear... rushing to buy my gift although he has been so tied down by our new house and stuff. Thanks a lot dear!

Hubby treated me like a princess today. hope this could go on forever. anyway, gotta wake up from this dream once it's past midnight...

Zombie!

I'm totally drained out of my energy!! Started the day early with a trip down to the interior designer's office to discuss and sign the quotation. Made a 10% deposit... OUCH!!! pocket burnt liao...

So my ah lau and I decided to go to the Philips Sale to see if there's anything to buy... Shopping under the hot sun isn't the most glamourous thing at all. Had to queue, squeeze and make my way around.

It was a fruitful trip though. Bought a vacuum cleaner and an iron.... and a juicer! It's really a steal so am really happy with my purchase.

Can't wait for reno to start soon... (keeping fingers cross on rectification of defects)

**YAWN**... bedtime... ZZZZZzzzzz......

Just started this blog and am actually blank in the head.... let's say I'll just have to start with topics on my new house and stuff cos this is what my new neighbours and myself are going through now.

My parents got me my set of WMF pots from Robinsons yesterday.... Cool!!! Love the pots but thinking about it now, will I really get to use all the pots. I CAN"T COOK! maybe instant noodles are my best dish.

Anyway, today is a great day in the office cos my colleagues got me a bouquet of roses and an ang pow for me to go shopping.Thanks to my great bunch... you guys know who you are.

Gotta rest and boost my energy as it'll be more shopping for the house.
