Ok I guess we're done with the move. Pics here. The only outstanding item now is the window blinds which came in the wrong color for the rooms, so the vendor has to come over again when he has the stock imported from Korea. Have been on leave the past 2 weeks and boy was … Continue reading Done!

Sneak peek
Just 2 shots of some better-looking corners without cartons and stuff lying around 🙂 Oops, I just spotted some cartons!
Almost there…
The contractors have been wrapping up most of the activities this week. You can see the place coming to life now.. No major rectifications so far after the aircon guys redid some of the trunking which wasn't to our liking. Only outstanding items we're still tracking is: -Alternating lights for the living room seem to … Continue reading Almost there…
T-1 Week
We've got about a week to go before the contractors clean up the place and hand it over to us. Really looking forward to inspecting the final work. The lighting was fitted out this week and there are a few lessons for us. Firstly, we agreed to fitting lights at the main entrance and the … Continue reading T-1 Week
Halfway there…
We're about halfway through the reno process. The tilers actually made some good progress against the proposed timeline but there were some other unforeseen HDB approvals that were needed so that slowed the timing down again. What you see on the right is the hole they knocked through the kitchen corner wall so you can … Continue reading Halfway there…

Might not happen since they seem to be overwhelmed … Continue reading Got the keys…

After taking a day-off work and getting the designers, flooring guy, electrician and plumber to go do their measurements at the new place, we were presented with the first hiccup. Apparently the existing floor tiles had a protruding pattern and hence this will be … Continue reading Progress

Now all we have to do is get the keys, renovate the place and move. Have already briefed a couple of IDs on the renovation and decided to go with … Continue reading Sold!
321 go…
We went for the first appointment with HDB yesterday. Thus begins the journey of getting our new place. The completion of the paperwork will be sometime in July and hopefully by Sept / Oct we'll be able to move in to the new home. Having gone through one interior design project on the current flat, … Continue reading 321 go…
It is done (I think…)
I have been getting mixed signals from the man above regarding our house hunt these past months, i guess it boiled down to me "wanting" a condo that is nice and shiny and me "needing" a simple HDB flat that fulfills our main priorities of: -getting something bigger to house all of us -big enough … Continue reading It is done (I think…)
