Tender Award - Ideal House

It's has been a while since we spoke to the ideal house ID Daniel, he was the first ID that we have met, but have been forgotten, as we were busy looking for what we wanted in our house. We in fact have another ID in mind, but she slowly fade away. Daniel was our second choice. His luck was in fact good, he called us when we start to lose confidence with our first choice.

After comparing daniel with all the ID we have met, he seem sincere and "on the ball". So we have a second and third meeting with him to confirm our design so that he could give us a quote for reno. So we finally award our reno project to him. I feel choosing a reno contractor is abit like gambling. At first you base on the first impression to see if you want to even talk more with him/her. Then you go thru the quotation if the total price is within your budget. If both are ok, then you might want to talk further with him/her. When you consider signing with the firm, you would think about workmanship issue. But then again, workmanship to individual will be different. Some can "tahan" mistake or wall paint not even, some everything also ok......so this part is really a gamble. What is good and what is bad.....go by Conquas 21 standard? What is a standard set by BCA.

Our think is, if we choose this firm to do our project, we will have to bare with what is to come. Good then good for us, if Jaliat then too bad for us lor. But tiling should be done with reference to BCA standard. B'coz, flooring os something that is very very difficult to change when everything is move in. Wardrobe or other build in stuff can still be added along the way, but flooring will not be possible.

 

Our Design (To be improve)

Not much changes but we have decided to cement screed the Tv wall area, dining, the whole kitchen. The rest we shall not review, so that if our friends come there will be some kind of surprise, hopefully the right kind of surprise. I could see myself living in this design. It's a small house but big enough, and we know what we want to do to the house, which we are looking forward to do together.

The room closes to the living area will be the study room, mainly for me, coz poor me have to go back to school for the next 3.5 years, hopefully no "Tabao". Anyway study is also for a better future.

The Second room, i would call it the Wife's room, coz her 12ft = 3.6m wardrobe will be there. Will a full height mirror, with some cozy lighting. There she would also have place to store her books(which she have and have not started reading). It would be my wife cozy corner.

The last place would be the area where we sleep......so there is nothing much to talk about.

Long ago, when my wife and i was attended the premarital counseling the counsellor was saying, money is not everything, but without money you cant do anything. I'm just happy that we have the money to do the things we want. I was lucky to have my wife support all this time, and is still luck to have her. She would know best the tough time we went thru together.......Hope i will be able to provide more for her.

Now we wait at the edge of our seat for the 3D drawing from our ID........and the forever far away house keys.......it's so so disappointed to see people moving into the estate and i can only stare at my unit from the ground up. So PLease the High and Holy HDB (How Disappointing Board), release my house key......

SO till the 3D is out, i have nothing to write liao......think i shall talk about my other Love (Food)!!
