KEY COLLECTION AND RENOVATION START!!

WHATSUPPPPPPPP!!! Finally I got time to blog again! Been really busy with my work and house recently man and got no time for this blog shit but hey, when I was away I was really happy to receive compliments from readers... seriously till today I am still thinking how do you guys manage to find my kuku blog one ah? I mean I am only writing this blog like my online dairy where I can heck care and say all kind of shit but not like some full time blogger lo. Anyway doesn't matter la. What's most important is to have fun and hopefully learn something from my experiences tio bo? On a side note, recently I play around with what stupid Adsense and it got approve leh.. the next thing I know there's one kuku box thingy on my blog leh u see..


WTF is this doing on my blog ah? No ID contacted me to tell me about this leh.

But I guess it is some kind of an ad space thingy which give me money la.. but 46cents.. 你拿杯 not even enough for me to buy tissue paper from the "one dollar one dollar hello one dollar~" tissue auntie lo..

Anyway don't OT liao la back to my home. This post really is damn overdue because I am like halfway through my renovation liao lo. Let's turn back time to when I collect my keys la. Lai!

Look at how happy is my lovely wife when we finally is able to enter our EC instead of viewing from outside.

For child play one

Hahaha my gal is so excited loh.. She really love water and swimming.

50m lap pool.

Rainshower like shiok only la!

Sand beach

Alfresco chill out corner

Koi pond with no koi

Kids playground with similan sand. Damn stupid sia this..

FINALLY!!! OUR HOME!!! Nothing can describe the feeling when we first walk to our unit, enter our unit and feel the vibe in our unit man! It was so damn good till I felt like running around butt naked in my house and scream at the top of my lung..

Welcome to my home in stock condition! We bought a 3 bedroom dual key unit. So technically it is 2 bedder + studio. As usual, we did our blessing and offering in the whole house for good luck and good health. I'm not exactly sure of the procedure so don't ask me la.. haha I only know HUAT AH!!

Our glass casement kitchen. Swee bo?!

View from balcony. Ok la my house not very big but I love the overall shape and layout.

My tiny kitchen.

Our fridge corner

Washer dryer corner

WAHAHAHA SWEE RIGHT MY VIEW?

Hard to find such view in Singapore liao lo unless you are rich la... Although I will be living in ulu Punggol soon but for this kind of breathtaking view ok la can la.. hahaha.. some might say enjoy while it least.. Ya ya whatever.. not like I will stay here forever anyway..

Hallway to our Mbr and Common rm. Haha see my power huat huat pineapple row until here.

Our shared bathroom. I like! The only sian thing is the 2 bedder area only have 1 bathroom which will be shared by the MBR and Common bedroom. Well what to do.. no money buy bigger unit is like this one lo.

Our common room. No bay window! hehe... Size still consider decent la

MBR with balcony. 

I quite like the space for our MBR. Alot of ppl complaint the laminate flooring cmi but I think it's ok leh.

The window view when we wake up every morning! YummY!

The very long balcony that link the studio to our 2bedder.

Now that you've tour my 2bedder. Let's go into my studio. Hehehe. The studio area comes with built-in wardrobe, mini-kitchen and en-suite bathroom with washer/dryer compartment. 

As I'll probably be renting out my studio. This is the potential view my tenant will enjoy.

Spacious area that can be further divide into living and bed area.

Studio to balcony view

Studio view from foyer area.

The moment we've been waiting for. RENOVATION START! As we are not doing any flooring work. The first thing they do is lay a protective layer all over our house and proceed with wiring work.

Prior to doing all these octopus like cable thingy all over our house...

**FLASHBACK**

 Our ID first meet us with the electrician to confirm the lighting point and power point. After which the electrician will work out a quotation for us. In our case $3600 for whole house

Point to note: We are not obligated to engage the electrician recommended by our ID.

So what I did is find another electrician recommended in my EC Facebook group. Meet him at my place, tell him exactly what I wanted and get his quotation. Normally hor quotation from these independent electrician will be cheaper.. haha you know I know la.. But hor this ah pek very yaya papaya.. why?! Because he's cheap and many people in our project using him la.. I tell him to install my Livolo switch and smart curtain he like very not willing loh.. say what he don't know la wait spoil is my whole problem.. SMLJ normal only mah the connection. Anyway he quoted $2800. Power right close to $1k saving leh.

But for me I look at things from a bigger picture la. Price is price. Sometime cannot be too kiam gana if not really will suffer. So I go back to my ID tell him, hey brother your electrician quote really CMI la.. I really wanna support you and your electrician but my wallet don't wanna support. I am also not that unreasonable kind of mutherfker la.. I know electrician and ID rapport also very important one. I steady, I don't need you to match outside electrician price la.. I let you earn but don't earn so much give and take la.. $3000 swee bo?! We close this and let your electrician do.

My ID also steady and smart la. He Onz me! Actually hor I don't know whether any ID read my blog anot sia.. I hope they don't because they will curse and swear at me for teaching and spoiling the market like this.. Please forgive me all the brothers and sisters out there.. I know you all also making a living.. but we also have budget la.. so really PS man..

Ok back to my home. The wiring work took about 2 days and ceiling work another 2 days.

From this picture, we can see that most of the octopus cable is well hidden in the ceiling already. 

This center ceiling will have something exciting coming up soon! Stay Tuned!

L-shaped cove for curtain pelmet.

After ceiling work is down, the painter will come in to paint the whole house. Painting work is around 3-4days. For our MBR we are painting the whole room Beige.  

For our Princess room we are using Barely Pink

Living room we are using light grey to add a earthly hue to our overall Resort Theme concept.
