More Items coming in

More items coming in after new year hehe

1) Hecom Sofa
2) Dinning table ( not my first choice, but the 2 most dearest woman to me all urge me to buy)

Guess monkdees Manor is almost "operational" with these items hurray!

starting painting yesterday.. finished Kitchen Ceiling (2 coats), service balcony ceiling (2 coats) , common toilet celing (1 coat), MBR ceiling and walls (1 coat) and part of living/ dinning room. Did not get the colors we originally wanted, got something in a darker and livelier shade... Morning sun (yellow) and Lettuce green.

Hope these colors will not violate our Zen theme... hehe but anyway Zen colors are supposed to be "natural colors" aka those u can find in nature, lettuce and sun can easily find in nature right? so i guess ours i more of those "modern zen" or "daring zen" haha. Turns out to be not bad ...as long as dd like can liao hehe

Mitsubishi Fridge

another thing settled...actually dunno whether should buy a fridge so early but dd is quite insistend so ok lor...
Went to a few shops to view, at first wanted LG but the salesman say no good then decided on Hitachi, went to another shop then go again to a electrical shop in JW he recommended us Mitsubishi, stainless steel door, think dd like it very much though it's a bit big for the 2 of us lah... but dd keep saying big is good lor.. so decided to go for it.. 2 ticks by NEEC..
frankly speaking i like it too lah hehe though the price is abt $150 more ex then the Hitachi model...
I went home, my mum also say mitsubishi fridge is better... forum ppl also recommend the brand.. Hope this will be a good fridge

Tis is the fridge, MR62R Nice? one more thing settled ... yeah...

buy so many things so soon dunno will be wasted or not, we also cannot move in so soon haiz

4 contestants so far for our reno:

1) 3D inno - ~$11k
2) Ho Bee - ~$13.5k
3) Baroque - ~$16k
4) Ah Soon Jr - $?? (MIA, anyway we changed our req)

still in a dilemma to decide who to award the 'contract' to... hiaz
looking at figures it's a fight between 3D inno and Ho Bee

Stuffs to renovate

After many rounds of haggling and talking to contractors/IDs, i guess this is more or less the list of stuffs we want to renovate (the list keeps getting longer)

1) Kitchen cabinets
2) redo kitchen flooring
3) feature wall to conceal CD shelter
4) shower screens
5) kitchen swing door
6) sliding study door
7) built in wardrobe (actually till now i still dunno why this is necessary cos buy one off the shelf is at least 50% cheaper)
8) resanding/revarnishing the parquet floor
9) change PVC water pipes to copper/stainless steel one
10) Chemical washing of ceramic tiles (optional)

hope this is the final list, dunno why as we meet up with more and more contractors/IDs this list just keeps getting longer...
