YAY!
the reno works have begun last thursday and boo...the reno works have stopped. We have gotten ourselves a PE for the endorsement of the hacking works. So...
Now, it's awaiting for HDB's approval for us to say goodbye to the ugly walls of the common toilet.
plurezze let us hack those walls down...
oh yes, when we were down to see the progress of our reno, we chanced upon a new neighbour who has just recently finished her reno too! and it looks spectacular! I really hope ours will have that kind of finished look too.

here's the moment where engineer-meets-architect-meets-contractor.
Archi: This can be removed. I know. Trust me. It's non-structural.
PE: Erm. Better check first. I'll come in tmw.
Contractor: Can be done. Don't worry.
Their signature styles:-
Archi - wants everything his way
PE - die die also must check first. Better play safe.

Stirling HDB Terrace- #11 DIY Gifts for our Neighbours
PRESENTING....EAR PLUGS!
We know how noisy it gets when people start their renovations...so we decided to present ear-plugs as gifts for our neighbours before our renovation hacking works start. WJ and I went down to a hardware shop in chinatown to get them one weekend. After say 5mins of bargaining, we got each ear-plug for $1.30. Hmm is it cheap? I really dunno!!!
HOPE our neighbours love it though, the extra effort that we put in and the thoughts we give in.
cutting the reno cards up before distributing it tomorrow when the hacking starts. WOOHOO. The cards are design by yours truly, so wj just had to foot for the ear-plugs bill...hehehehe
i really enjoy doing these stuff... ^_^

Stirling HDB Terrace- #8 Green Fingers
indoor PLANTS brightens my day!
House Plants do more than just brighten up a room with color and living energy. Along with being pleasing to the eye, they bring real health benefits to your body. Not only do complaints about headaches, stress, heart/circulation-symptoms and colds decrease when indoor plants are present, according to sources in "The comprehensive office series," but also richly decorating a room with plants can help to keep the air clean.
here are some of my acquired plants over the past 2 years while i was in Sportshub and back in Marina Square : Which i will bring over to my new place!
Maidenhair Fern by my daddy...a wooden simple shelf which WJ made from the planks which we bought from IKEA and spent an afternoon painting it. There's a money plant pot which mum has re potted for me over the year as it was growing OUT of its POT! The one with the white ribbon was a present from sis for my wedding. She says it has heart shaped leaves and low maintenance. It's a Hoya Kerrii (Lucky Heart) beside it is my Anthurium in pink!
these 2 are newly acquired over the weekend from IKEA. They already look quite chummy together. muahahha
keep those fingers green people cos green is the way to go!
