Picked up darling after school as we planned to go to down town east to watch despicable me!





We went to mac to try the spicy chicken mac nuggets and honey chipolte fries. Not too bad





The movie was quite funny but too short. I tot the 3 little girls and minions were cute.
Went to different taste to have our dinner. Their standard have dropped alot since the old days when it was at the bowling alley.

Shopping for Sanitary wares

Arranged to meet Kenneth to finalise our 3D designs and the materials to be used for our cabinets etc.. It was raining and so cosy to sleep but still managed to wake up at around 0830hrs heheh ..
Fetched darling and went down to Kovan for breakfast but there was no parking space. As such, we went over to a Kopitam opposite of the ID firm.
Order fishball noodles from the only noodle stall.. Liyang used to bring us to eat.. oh my god.. had to wait for 45 mins for the noodles and no place to park... wonder is it worth the wait.. here are the pics..


Darling Kway tiao (looks better than mine)

My Meepok

We quickly finished our late breakfast and went over to meet up with Kenneth.

Stuff selected:
Foyer:
Shoe Cabinet: White gloss laminate
Settee: White gloss laminate with suede backing
Main Gate: Wrought iron gate with leaves pattern (champagne gold color)
Main Door: Still waiting reply from HDB whether does it need to be fire resistant type, considering to change
                   it as the lockset is faulty. If unable will remain white color.


Kitchen:
Kitchen cabinet: White gloss laminate with white solid surface table top; Black backsplash and mirrors

Living room:
Living room: Followed Kenneth's 3D design and choose grey walls for the wall. Rest of the house would be
                    in painted in Sail white color.

Master Bedroom:
Master Bedroom: Followed 3D design but we requested to have a small partition in the false partition in
                            order to put darling's toothbrush, tumbler and etc.. solved her headache..

Vanity area: In addition, requested the mirror to go all the way up to the ceiling to make the crampy area
                   looks bigger.. wanted to bargain for a glass door but unable to get it. However, Kenneth gave 
                   us mirrors on the bi-fold doors, hope it turn out to be nice..

Wall and flooring: Wall painted in Bisque color (might be getting wall paper from Goodrich). Will be using
                            classy woody laminate from Germany (new brand) instead of Prego.. hope it is good..


Afterwhich, we went to this shop called Lite Fusion to buy our Sanitary wares. Highly suspicous that Kenneth have an vested interest in this shop...
Basically, stuff we bought:

  • 2 x 1 piece WC (Crizto) haha comes with a pipe

  • 2 basin -- smaller one for common toilet, more expensive one with tap for master bedroom

  • Shower set : Rain shower for the master bedroom but it was not as big but hope it doesnt become like drizzle

  • Towel bars and toilet holders..

  • Lightings: 20 down lights, few lightings for kitchen, storeroom and foyer.. wanted to get a nice light for foyer but it was xxx and limited choices.. shall go overseas to source for it and dinning lamps (quoted 350 for it)
  • All in resulted in 3K of damages(whole hse sanitary and lights fittings sia).. faintz but it is relatively cheaper in comparsion if we to buy an Hansgrohe rain shower set for 1.5k  
Thanks to darling for being so understanding,, love love u!!

Aferwhich, we went to Ang Mo Kio to check out the water purifier but when it we heard it was second hand... turn off liao and we went  back to tampines Blk 201 for late lunch and to check out ceiling fans.

Overall, the Tampines shop is cheaper for fans (final price is inclusive of installation) therefore will be getting from them but still deciding what color and brand to choose from.. shall research more

Living room: Biggest fan (franco or Elmark) --- white or silver color
Study room: Fan with lights ----- white/silver color
Master bedroom: KDK baby fan

Afterwhich, we went to darling hse and nua.. as we not hungry, we decided to go for 1 for 1 after 930pm promotion at Kim Gary..alot of pple also taking advantage of this offer.. it was packed!

Fixing of air-con

Met up with Kenneth today for fixing up of air-con. The inital price that was quoted for us was $2800 for system 3 Inverter however it was 9000 Btu. The air-con man said if one of the unit was to be placed in the living room, it would take an hour or more to cool the entire living room + dining area due to large area involved. In additional, it might not be cool enough. Therefore, after discussion with my pretty wife who is busy at school, we decided to top up an additional of $300 bucks to change it 18000 Btu for the living room.
Sigh, there goes our inital cost savings (the price was similar to what was quoted by Gain City). We shall invite our families over more often for gathering ( bring ah ti, ah mei and also Kaiqi over!!).
The workers were plastering the whole house when i was there, hmm, i must admit after plastering, the texture felt so much smoother sia, hope it justify the money spent on it..



Master Bedroom toilet: 2 different tiles, cant capture the color and difference due to the lighting, the stainless rain shower must be installed...wonder got stainless steel WC or not.. haha




Wiring up for the living room




Wiring up for the living room




Oh ya, the rooms are also wired up liao but didnt manage to take a pic, saw our living room tiles in the study room, looks much better than i initally thought



Common Toilet wall tiles up!!
Was asking Kenneth about the estimated completion date. He said the entire renovation will complete before National day but he would need it up till then for acid wash etc.. will hand over on 9th Aug.
The tiler will be coming soon once all the wiring are been done.
Oh Ya, managed to see that Kenneth drives a Lexus sia.. do contractor until rich sia..
Darling we must be rich also!!!

Our 7th year 7th month anniversary

My darling always have lots of plans- he had planned for a trip to universal studio however it closes early on Sunday and not all the rides are up.

He also planned for a shopping trip to mbs to buy his elusive onitsuka shoes. Unfortunately, due to his weird sleeping habits, we had a late breakfast and headed to sim siang Choon to check out the prices of our sanitary fittings. They have a large range of items. We decided there was no need to buy anything too pricy so we will see what good deal Kenneth have for us then!

Tomorrow will be the day to install our aircon system. Another day closer to the completion of our dear house! :)

And before I forget, my dearest had bought me the entire set of eclipse! So sweet shall go home today to take a picture of it! Thanks hubby!
