My damaged granite :(

my kind carpenter Ah Ho removed my damaged granite top for me. best of all, it is almost without damage to my existing kitchen cabinet! the granite company that i am engaging have no confidence to remove the granite w/o damaging the cabinet... but Ah Ho did it!
(Note: The brown and black patches on the wood are actually the glue stains)




My carpentor Ah Ho said, 这样打坏,真的很可惜!


when the granite was broken into pieces.. my heart was broken too...

words can't tell u how sad this can be.. not just the money.. it's the effort and the process of getting it done, so tough... but in the end, still got to dismantle it... haiz...

Laminates ...

My reno is almost coming to an end as my carpentry will be out around next week or the week after...


It was not an easy task to plan out the carpentry works and selecting the laminates... I have a liking for wood like laminates and that makes me even tougher to select. Do note that the laminates in the catalog is simply too small piece. For this reason, I decided to go down to the laminate factory to take a look at the bigger piece, below is to share my experience:



1) EDL - they can Give you A4 size laminates samples from their office

2) Seng Lee - they can let you View the A4 size laminates samples from their office

3) LamiTAK - they actually let me go into their warehouse and view the actual BIG piece of laminate!


Actually I didn't request EDL or SENGLEE to let me view the actual big piece of laminates.. but I guess it can also be done if one request...

Conclusion: Most of the laminates looks better than the catalog! But, BEWARE, some that appears to be dark colour in the catalog turn out to be not so dark, the feel is totally OFF! Do note, this only applies to mostly wood feel laminates and not solid colours.. Cus i don't have solid colours for my carpentry so I can't comment.

Here are the laminates chosen:

Shoe cabinet:
Seng Lee: KD6381FG (BROWN PLUM BUTCHER)

2) Kitchen Cabinet
EDL: EWS9228T(S) BEIGE CINNAMON WOOD

3) Living Hall Feature wall w Tv console
LamiTAK: WY1219X (CORDA MAKASSAR)


4) WALK IN WARDROBE & DOOR
LamiTAK: WG5219D (Wild ebony)

5) Suspended writing table
EDL: EQ5540FT (FLORA REVOLUTION B)

6) Feature wall TV console & bedhead in master room
Seng Lee: SU3001W -Walnut Lyon

7) Master room sliding door

The sales person who attended to me was Ms Angel Chan. She is the branch manager! Thumbs up for her superb service... we went there 3 times and bought only on the 4th time! Everytime we say we wanna consider, she still happily send us out, no blackface or insulting remarks!

Was considering between lorenzo n rustica...i have a few friends using Rustica products for over 5yrs, no complaint so far! while the manager was preparing my invoice, i peep at her invoice book for delivery schedule, alot of singaporeans buy furniture from there!

I like this sofa, not only for its price, its design is really very comfortable to sit! if u notice, it is high back and u can rest on your head on the sofa and it is also adjustable... below the headrest, there is a protruding pillow to support your back when you rest on the sofa... one word, GOOD!

Designer Wall Gear clock with Date (H65cm x 56cm Dia)


A fascinating and novel silver wall clock where the gears all spin around slowly and quietly to turn the large gear which in turn tells the time.

But unlike our other wall gear clocks this clock comes with two extra unique cog dials which tell you the day and time

KYK2500 Genisis @$2199 with freebies...
Quote my invoice no: 9160 and u can get free replacement cartridge if you buy their product!
Official website: http://www.h2olifesource.com/

i bought the KYK today! the demo is very good and interesting! u can bring your own water and be convinced about the water properties.. just sumarize the main and most important points for u:

1) In villages / places where people live a long life, the scientist discovered that the water in those region is high in alkaline value. alkaline water has super-oxidants (slow down ageing) and it detoxify your body everyday u drink it.

in short, it is a water purifier with alkaline that is with medical effects... now, i got a lobang for those who is keen to get the KYK, quote my invoice, u can get additional cartridge FREE. it is like refer a friend promotion! actually my hubby quite skeptical about it until he go down and listen to the talk. look at the so many certification and award KYK gotten and the demo they do, u''ll then be convinced... price 2188 is not very cheap but not very ex either especially considering the so many good effects u will get....

what is life with no good health?

**ops, disclaimer --i am not a salesperson of KYK or getting commission from them, merely sharing from what i learnt from the talk**

The toilet tiles layout-taken from showroom

My common toilet tiles from spain - www.sanchis.com

This is a sample of my common toilet tiles.. the tiles have a very gliterring surface (unable to capture the glittering effect on the camera)

I did the one in maroon... wanted the black one but OUT OF STOCK!! The plain maroon with no design, I am doing it for the floor. What I love most is, the floor tiles is not slippery at all! **Too bad the camera cannot capture the glittering effect...**
