[fel_han]

Shanna dear: I'm sure it'll b money well spent on your love nest =))

I'm still trying to save as much as I can. Muz set aside at least 40k .. Xiong ah!

 

[julia85]

YX> v rare of ur HTB...
not many guys like to DIY!
urs is really talented!

 

[tanyix]

Julia: haha! Ya he's a super hands-on builder guy. But he absolutely hates the nitty gritty admin/deadlines stuff.. Haha. So I'm the one handling those.. So he's like the big picture guy, then I'm the details person.

 

[julia85]

fel> very hard save tat amt one..
esp when our AD so near get key date =(
i guess have to get loan liao...
think at most only save amt for furnitures..

 

[fel_han]

julia: ha nohhh like very impossible to save that amt lei.. haix
somemore flat+wedding.. i oso tink i might need a reno loan leii..

sian.. spend the rest of my life paying loans lor.. i'll b a poor snr citizen =/

 

[shannat]

fel: yups. i hope it would turn out nice.

actually if BTO wont be needing so much ba..mine is resale, so need much more cos gotta hack n replace the tiles.. tt alr cost a bomb cos its the most expensive part of the reno! >.<"
furniture wise is ok, cos appliances n furniture nowadays quite cheap and can slowly buy.

 

[julia85]

my sis BTO Fernvale Residences...
oso premium flat..
she got ID liao..
her reno abt 25K...

 

[quarter_j]

oh bto like mine..

ok so 25k reno + basic home furnishing 10k.. total 35k.. sigh.. need to go review my budget again tonight

 

[shannat]

Jo: actually it depends on how nice u want ba. unless u wanna do until super super chio type, then need more $$$, if its simple reno, nth too fancy, below 20K shld be enough. few of my friends reno for BTO is abt 15K-17k.

for me, i wont spend too much $$$ for reno on my first hse, cos my first hse wont be my "dream house", so i will only reno it just comfortably to stay for the time being.

but of cos, it would be better to set aside more $$$

 

[quarter_j]

ok good to hear.. whew. I was more hoping for basic reno, nothing too fancy.

 

[magdal]

Jo: how many room is yours?

YX: 2 tumps up!
totally agree. guys don't like dIy stuff. even not he do also don't like.

chin: confirm again. what time we meeting?

 

[quarter_j]

[tanyix]

Xrevlis: haha cos I want a colored shoe! Hee.. Either blue or pink

Shanna: true.. What you said made sense. Still dunno if my first house will be my dream house

 

[quarter_j]

If anyone goes shopping can shun bian keep an eye out for me? Cuz it is hard to find <2inch heels and purple/pink with ankle straps.

[tanyix]

Jo: high five!

[julia85]

the Punggol 4rm flat only cost 234K..
but the owner spent 70K on reno + furnishings..
really OMFG!! 70K!! O_O

 

[tanyix]

Xrevlis: colored heels for both! Teehee

Julia: but 300k for a punggol 4 room is still sooooooo cheap compared to now! Lol..

 

[magdal]

Jo: when your bto ready.mine in 2014. hope the price won't jump up too fast

YX: getting colour heels for your wedding?

chin: sat noon better. my dad having dialysis. got to pick him up on Friday night

 

[tanyix]

Btw babes, general question: usually how long will the MUA take on the morning of our AD?

 

[magdal]

if not wrong 1hour

 

[quarter_j]

julia: damn jialat, how can spend 70k?! did she knock down all the walls while she is at it? But she must really have the money and the foresight that she is not going to move house anymore.

YX: no preference open or closed. hee..
Thanks YX and Xrev!

 

[tanyix]

Magdal: yups! I wanna get colored heels for my wedding

hee!!

Oh and it's about 1hr? Cos need to plan my schedule on that day!

 

[shannat]

hey girls, wil keep a lookout for any pretty and coloured shoes! am also intending to get coloured shoes for my EG!

YX: usually first house wont be the dream hse de.

jo: dun worry, basic ones are ok, usually those more elaborate or themed reno more exp.

and the furniture also need to buy to match the reno.
im also doing simple one. hehe mine is minimalist style.

julia: i hv heard some ppl spend 100k on reno too. " my contractor showed me one recent work he did n it was 80k! >.<"

 

[quarter_j]

mag: mine is coming either yr end or 1Q next year.

Shanna: hi5! I planning to go minimalist too. Would rather sit on the floor in front of tv than the couch but hubby's priority is to big a big couch. And my priority is to get a good bed. SO, end up we both paid for bed+couch liao.. ahahaha..

 

[shannat]

YX: i think abt 2 hrs like tt.

 

[shannat]

jo: i just bought a sofa from seahorse, v cheap!! haha the first "acessory" for my hse. bed wise, am only gg to buy it next b4 my AD.. so currently need to slp on mattress on the floor.. *boooo*
btw, where if ur flat?

 

[chinzilla]

mag sure. sat then! the gifts are reserved .. yipee.

1 -caramel oso fixed rite?

YX shld be two hours. if ur budgeting time. 1 hr is cutting it closer

 

[revlis]

YX: ya at least 1.5 to 2hrs, 1 hr bit too short for makeup + hairdo

 

[quarter_j]

shanna: haha nice buys

but rmbr to buy a gd bed for urself ah..cuz i advocate having a gd bed that supports your spine. gd bed dun necessarily mean expensive, as long as you feel the support then can liao. afterall we spend half our lives sleeping.

my place? it's a bto in punggol. now still waiting.

YX: i agree should be 2hrs. I enquire a few external MUA and they all said duration is 2hrs approx.

 

[shannat]

jo: yupyup! would get a decent bed. i m quite picky when it comes to bed. so far, the range i seeing is normal range abt 2Kplus only. hehe~ so still affordable.. i not like my friend so kuazhang, eyeing a 13k bed.... *rolls eyes*

 

[quarter_j]

I KNOW! i slept on the 10k sealy bed.. and it was like: I don't wanna move a muscle kinda feeling.

But cannot lar, 10k is too much to pay for a bed. my budget is max 4k for a bed.

 

[magdal]

chin: Yap. confirm. now need to know how many pax so I can make appointment for shoe viewing and dinner

sat we meet 2pm ok?

 

[tanyix]

Shanna/chinz/xrevlis/jo: heh thanks babes! I'll set aside 2hrs for make up then!

Jo: I super duper recommend my bed! It's 4k+.. Simmons beautyrest obsession. It's really very good I strongly recommend it! Firm for me (cos of my back problem), but soft and comfortable enough for my htb who has a good back.. Go try it!

 

[chinzilla]

ahh ok mag. 2pm ah.. shld be ok

 

[fel_han]

Julia: 70k?? Siao bohhhhh... I don't think I cn EVER save that amt lo..i will bcum poor old snr citizen re-paying for my hdb loan + Reno loan.. Zzz
Last wkend when I went to buy my wedding band I already cn feel abit xin tong... All the $$$ is slowly depleting from my bank acct liao =/

I'm also looking for colored shoes.. I wan peep toes preferably and chic enuf for work.. Coz dun wanna buy 1 pair of shoe only to b worn once n den condemn forever in the cupboard .. Haha

 

[hucklebeary]

[hucklebeary]

Crystaline did u apply the dbss? i give up my appt today at 1pm. my number is 0191. hubby not back sg yet. how to buy... sianz.

 

[revlis]

[tanyix]
