By the way he just went for Durian trip to Desaru just a week ago...

Reno - Day 11

Start plastering.


so many plaster...

Because our flat all wall is so rough surface,
We need to spend more than $2000 to make smooth wall surface =(



after plastering. so smooth...

I really think buying resale flat cost you more than new...
But no choice, then.

Reno - Day 10

Toilets and Water Heater installed.



simple is best.

For easy maintenance and cleaning, we choose single piece toilet.



27L. I need to use hot water for bathe then.

Oyster~ Kaki! (Song)

Fount at neaby NTUC.



both less than $10 / pack if I remenber collectlly.


Seems like this company is specialized in frozen oyster product.

Guess soon Hiroshima frozen oyster commonly find in Sinagpore. But for the fresh ones, still go back to Hiroshima during winter...=P


Shiu-chan is so excited about being owner of oyster rope. about $200 / rope, all oysters in the rope will be yours...See how this winter thou...

first - pot

We need to get certain household things befoer move-in.
Mother-In-Law asked us to get asap, we thought of buying somethings in Japan when we go back there.
However, she seems like die die must buy before move-in, we had no choice, expensive but decided to buy some stuffs through online and deliver over to Singapore.

Some things like pot, we can get in Singapore,
Here's one, Le Creuset.


for us, 20cm size is good enough. It was $209.

Traditionally is a Chinese Wok, but we confirm won't be using it.


Getting this is Shiu-chan's demand.
Me? I am totally not interested in Le Creuset. I don't really like to use this kind of heavy pot.


I was more interested in Screwpull wine openere although I am not wine fan.
Its [First Model] is well known as easy to use wine opener =)



I was happy to find this in Singapore!
