happy.gif


hi magical

I also wan to see your AD pics when they are ready!
happy.gif
 
Hi all,

Thanks for all yr messages! So touched *wink*!

So glad this thread is active again. I must have missed out a lot.

Momocharz, Sailormoon, wctually, for the defects, my bf is the one liasing. He reported some defects and he called HDB a few times. I think next Monday, HDB pple is coming to fix the defects, mainly to replace the cracked tiles in our toilet.

Today, we went to Good view to dicuss our electrical works. Oh my, now i know what Magical meant. Wires, cement, sand are all over the place. It's really messy and unpleasant. The problem is it's difficult for me to concentrate because I am not interested in this technical aspect. Have problem in visualizing also that's why sometimes my bf explained until he vomits blood. haha..

I think I am still comfortable to throw this dirty task to my bf while me take a free ride... haha.. so lazy of me hor..

Think our reno will finish by end August so it will fall into both wmonths of Hungry Ghost Festival. God Bless...
happy.gif


Congratulations Winnie!
happy.gif


I look forward to seeing all of your photos..
happy.gif
 
Hi all!

Thanks Diaodu :>

sailormoon: the feathers not ex.. bout $2 for a pack (maybe 15-20 inside). bought fr artfriend. anyway, we only did bout 10 invites for friends. din do for relatives.
 
Diaodu: ur unit is blk 388, #11?? ur ID is fr A&D?

cos my bf meet our id today... then he brought him to tis unit. :> tot it might be urs. the homo tiles same as ours... and my bf said quite nice and shiny
happy.gif
 
speaking of the cute little petite gal, Stacey...she suppose to drop by tis Goodview Garden forum...can someone drop her a sms to check her out? tell her tat we r all waiting for her here~~ (my hp spoil so i lost all contacts in my phone memory...tried sending her email..but i tink she didnt respond)

wow Diaodu! guess u will be the second one among us to fin yr reno yeah
kao_wink.gif

aiyah, leave the reno co-ordination work to yr hb-to-be ... u jus kiao ka, sit back & relax (watch world cup) can liao!!! hahaha!
 
Sailormoon,

i think hor, only Joan has her no. leh. i don't her very well.

Oh ya hor.. i will be the 2nd one..keke..
Ok, my school is starting today so I don't think i have time to go checkout the reno le. I stay in yishun so inconvenient.

Maybe in Nov/Dec, when my house fully furnished and i finished my exam, i can invite Goodview Forumers to my house...
happy.gif


Cheers,
Diaodu
 
hey diaodu..
we're waiting for you to hold the BBQ leh...
=p

sorry ah, right now still settling some stuff n cant find a good day to invite u guys over yet..
 
Hi Magical,

Ya... I remembered this promise but i was hoping to throw the BBQ when most of them move in.
It would be more convenient... :p

no worries.. i guess after my reno finishes in Aug, I need a few months to really clean up, tidy the place and shortlisting my funitures. So that's why i said Nov / Dec is better time for me.. but having said that, Jan is my customary..so i will keep my fingers cross first.
happy.gif
 
hi diaodu!
yeah loh...talking about this reminds me of the time we were queuing up...all of us were so excited .. so fast hor..

sigh.. i miss my wedding.. everytime i pass by a bridal shop i still keep looking at the gowns.. like no more chance to wear liao..sobsob...

btw,
now that live there for 2 weeks liao..i notice alot of small insects ... got some tiny spiders n some tiny ant-like creatures..
floor gets dusty easily too.. n bathroom floor also dusty..
 
hi magical

u can try wearing bedroom slippers when in the house (we did that
happy.gif
) so that we wouldnt step on dusty floors every day... hahaha
 
Magical...is it bcos there r some construction works going on opp yr house? (tat huge pc of land...tink tat time SK went to recee the place during the WIS & spoke to some workers there & they r building some bungalow houses , abt 4 storeys height leh)

tat is one possibility ooh~~

i attached a pic we took tat time...
385539.jpg
 
hi sweet!
no la..i cannot tahan dusty floors... last time i didnt understand why my mum so fussy over the floor..now i know i got her fussy genes too..haha...
anyway hubby got asthma problem..dowan to have dust in the house too...

hi sailormoon!
my place not facing the site ley..i think its just coz its new house.. n we like to open our windows to air out the ne house smell..heheh..
anyway today just vacummed n mopped the house.. very tired but got satisfaction .. haha..
n got pink rosy cheeks too..
 
Wow magical, seems like you are starting to enjoy yr new life!
happy.gif


nowadays i hardly do anything at my mum's hse. I can imagine all the house chores lining in front of me when I move in next time. haha..

Generally, do you think it's hot staying at Goodview? I am still thinking if i should install aircon in the living room.
 
Hi Angelz,

Guess what, my bf and I went to light Arcade on last Friday and found out they are one of the cheapest light suppliers in the market. Their services are very good too.
happy.gif


I just checked out the comments on them and found out you were there...
happy.gif


Our lightings cost about S$900.
happy.gif
The other lighting shop that my ID recommended quoted S$1.3K. In the end, we are going for light arcade and now my ID angry with us... haha.. cos he got no commission to earn..
 
hi diaodu!
i answered u in the bt gombak thread liao..
yeah we did install.. n no regrets! but dont really turn it on very often coz already very cool there..esp no direct sunlight on our walls

yeah angel n i went to lightz arcade too..ours cost abt 600+ close to 700.. very happy with our purchase too.. when installing, one of the ballast was faulty n popped 3 bulbs.. we took it down n they changed it for us , no questions asked.. that 's what i call GOOD SERVICE n CUSTOMER SATISFACTION! ;-D
 
hi magical

icic... good that u r hardworking in mopping those floors! hehe...

hi diaodu

we didnt install aircon in the living room... coz area too big if we get those 4-in-1... will need a unit on its own... so we didnt install in the end
happy.gif
 
hi all,

bf and I oso thinking if should install air-con in living rm. but system 3 so cheap compared to all the other options :p

the air-con shop person oso say tat our living rm area quite big... so system 4 oso not enough. so prob we juz do without air-con in living rm and study rm.. then get system 3
 
hi sweet!
at first like quite fun..no like starting to get lazy liao ley..haha..

i stay there for 2 weeks liao still never bump into you ley.. maybe our going out time n coming home time all different.. haha..

winnie,
if u do without air con in living n study then u only need to get system 2 right? or is yours the extra room unit? got 4 bedrooms instead of 3..?
 
hi magical,

mine is the extra rm unit... with a study rm one. we decide to keep the study rm. cos if not, the living rm like look too big and empty
 
hi magical

i go out quite late, like ard 8.15am to 830am.. hehe... come home also quite late, bout 9pm coz i go my parents' home every weekday for dinner
happy.gif
 
Morning everybody!
happy.gif


Thanks Sweet... I decided not to install cos it might be very cool at night.
happy.gif


Magical, I think Light arcade is really good. Cheap & good service. I highly recommend our fellow goodview folks to patronize them. :p

Btw, you want plan to buy king or queen size bed?
I think my MBR got problem with King..
sad.gif
 
hello everyone!

wow...hvnt been logging on these few days...so many new postings!

Diaodu: hey, u wanna hv a king size bed in yr MBR ah? wah...tats too cramp liao... tink we will settle on Queen's size instead...

Magical: hehe! can see tat u r enjoying yrslf with all the housework to be done... yup! i agree with u tat though it will be very tiring but end up when u see the house so clean, its worth every drop of sweat for the amt of housework u done!!
*plus....can exercise while doing housework oso!!!
biggrin.gif
 
hi winnie!
ok ok.. yeah then if u wan to aircon whole house will be quite ex liao.. must take 3+2 or 4+1..

hi sweet!
oh you're so lucky!! i by 8am already trying hard not to scold ppl liao..haha..

hi diaodu!
my bed is queen ley.. if u put king size can cannot get into bed from the sides liao..haha.. must climb on from the front.. then u also wont be able to get to the window unless u climb over your bed also..
our queen size is just nice..

hi sailormoon!
yeah agree! but now my tiles still got some waxy stuff... dunno how to get rid.. unless squat there n scrub.. maybe after a few moppings it'll go away..
n also weird ant-like things on my laminate floors..so i clean with dettol, then now no more liao.. n we found a HUGE spider in our wardrobe!!!! we only managed to catch it 2 days after we discovered it..coz it hid itself deep deep inside.. so happening right? tsk tsk...
 
hi diaodu

yep! it's esp windy during yr-end! by then, dun even need to on fan
happy.gif


we bought a Queen size thinking we both small size, dun need such a big bed! but hubby having regrets! he kept on lamenting should have gotten a king size.. he got a crazy idea to shift our queen size bed into baby's room and buy another king size bed! haha...

hi magical

different mah, u teacher... get to go home earlier
happy.gif
.. me only starts work at 830am and office very near
happy.gif
 
Yeah.. me so happy after gettig all yr confirmation .. my bf keep dreaming about his king size bed.. even though he's aware of the space limit.

I will assure him that most of you got a queen size bed and this probably ease his headache..

Thks..

Thanks Sweet, with this confirmation, won't be fixing aircon in living room...

Hi Saiormoon, nice to see you here again.. hee..
My bf has been chasing me for curtains'quotation. I told him it's too early...keke.. wait i move in them must wash curtain le.. Hmm.. think will buy curtain around Nov to Dec. Hope some of you can make it by then then we can pool and buy together..
happy.gif


Magical, did u fix aluminium grille? we having tight budget now so plan to install the grille later. My future in laws have been nagging at us... aih.. So now I have to source for quotation. haha..

Suddenly no more soccer to watch so me active in forum again..haha..

Good night, folks!!
happy.gif
 
hi sweet!
ya lah... we can have the option to go home early, but hor, the ave time teachers can actually go home is 5-6pm.. earlier this year was worse.. i went home everyday at 7 plus.. super tuckered out everyday.. ! but sometimes when i feel really tired n need to sleep.. would perhaps get home at 3 plus or 4 pm..

hi diaodu!
yeah i got grilles.. better to fix la.. coz the windows are quite low..my whole flat i think abt 900+..

sigh..got no internet at home now so can't come in at night..waiting for some great promotion to sign up..
 
hi magical

my hubby told me yesterday that he probably was in the same lift in the morning with u a few days back!
happy.gif
he forgot all about it until last nite... hehe...
 
Thanks Magical, I need to fix cos my future in laws are very particular. Initially, I am not keen but one particular day, I went to my flat and looked down from the window.. then i realized.. 16 floor is indeed high and dangerous..keke.. I changed my mind..keke.. better to fix..haha..
i think my qutoation is ard this range too...
 
Hi momocharz,

Iron grilles very expensive.. the cheapest quote i have for aluminium grilles is S$5 plus per square feet while iron grille can be S$12 to S$14 per square feet.
 
Hi momocharz,

hi sweet!
really? i didnt realize! izzit in the early morning? that day got 2 guys same lift as i...but the corridor so super dark i didnt notice where they came from..

hi diaodu!
its better to put la..for my hubby's sake..coz dont wan any accidents to happen to him..haha..myself i still can be more careful, but i cant control him ma, so better put...n anyway we plan to have kids 2 years later.. so

earlier or later also hafta put 1..
 
Hi Magical,

Ya, I think I will put. Yesterday, I went to my colleague's new flat in Toa Payoh to gain some reno insights. She stays at 34 floor and when I looked out of her window, though very nice view, most of my times, I was affected by the fact there's no grille. It's quite dangerous. haha...

Ya.. it's good to enjoy couple life for a while then give birth. Anyway, u still so young.. :p
 
hi magical

yup, it was early in the morning... hubby sitting beside me now, so i ask him about the "other guy".. he said that, the other guy was a pizza hut guy!! haha.... he noticed that u came from your unit, so he knows that it was u lo... hehe
