Lights hunting @ Geylang Rd & Reno updates~!

9th June 2007 - Finally the weekend is here! Hb and I went to Geylang Rd to look at bathroom accessories. Surprisingly, there are many lighting shops there as well and we decided to give Jalan Besar a miss, haha. Sianz, we still have to buy 3 passageway, 1 balcony, 1 Master bedroom and 1 guest room lights. Haha, managed to buy our guest room light at VLUX! At the same time, I was informed by Betty from Chelsea over the phone that there is black colour for the master bedroom light that we wanted the other night and I agreed to add that to the invoice. Yay so happy, 2 more lights down! Now left only 4 more lights to go! Kinda hard to find nice passageway lights though, since we are not doing any false ceilings and thus can't solve our problem the easy way out by buying downlights. Went to IMM after that and HB and I bought fell in love with a dining table each. Ok, we have conflicting taste in the choice of dining table, though we both agree that it should be a glass one. His preferred choice costs $1160 while mine $1499. Anyway, we decided to think about it first as we both refused to budge. Anyway, back at home, Hb smsed me saying he'll let me have my way! Hahaha, I think I will want to make a trip to Sungei Kadut to see if there are any better choices before making my decision. Read from the forum that there a few furniture stores in Malaysia and they have quite nice designs. Very tempted to make a trip down but kinda sianz at the thought of having to go all the way there. Lol, we'll see how.
10 June 2007 - After church, Hb and I made a trip to our place...



The tiling is completed! What an interesting change from the bare and dirty concrete ground! This photo shows our living room and the TV feature wall. On the right side is our balcony "bar top".



Our master bedroom's feature wall is finally up! Can't see much. Will have to wait for the chemical wash to make everything nice and clean.



This is the former master bedroom entrance. It was sealed up with bricks as shown in previous pics and plastered smooth with cement.




See Hb in the pic waving, haha! The base for the washing machine in the service balcony and base for the fridge in the kitchen are done!



This shows part of the study room which is on the left, as well as our entrance foyer.

We were about to go back to my place when we bumped into Shih Shih and Kenny who decided to kpo (haha~!) by coming over to see our unit. They too, bought a unit, at Blk B though. They came up and marvelled at our windy unit, haha, and after showing them our place, we went over to theirs to kpo as well, lol.
Can't wait for reno to be completed!
