Tiles and Hacking works

Selected our tiles from Soon Bee Huat

Living room and Kitchen wall tiles. We love bright house. So selected the brightest off white floor tiles and whitest wall tile for kitchen.

Here comes our living room tiles.

Our kitchen tiles

Contractor moved the materials up over the weekend

Hacking completed to the exposed wall area where new tiles will be laid. Didn't do overlay because kitchen is already very small. Overlay will make it even smaller. Un-hacked portion will be covered up by cabinets.

Master bedroom/common bedroom wall hacked to shift the wall back by about 100 for wardrobe. The current design is only suitable for swing wardrobe doors. However, we wanted sliding door. Depth not enough therefore got to sacrifice about 100mm of space from the common bedroom.

Wedding Venue

After searching online for our dream wedding venue, we came across a place called Burkill Hall. Located in the middle of National Orchid Garden, Singapore Botanic Gardens.

It is quite a nice place to hold wedding / solemnization. Too bad we had our solemnization already.

The access from Burkill Drive Way.

Lets start from the 2nd floor. The spacious hall. Bigger than we thought! can fit 140 guest. 100-120 guest comfortably.

Bridal's room. The only air-conditioned room in this hall.

The bridal's room private toilet. Super big! I think bigger than my current room.

Looking over the lawn from the 2nd floor patio where most solemnization was held.
Great for outdoor cocktails.

The 1st storey. Can fit about 120 guest. Round table can be shifted away.

Another view of the lawn from the car porch below the patio.

Commemorative plaque.

Since we entered the Burkill Hall which is inside the National Orchid Garden  from the side gate, might as well visit the orchid garden for free!

Weather very hot, walking towards the Cool House.

Opps didn't get a good background shot of the Cool House in full view.

Bedding needs

Got our King size bedsheet at IMM. Original price at $699 but was on 60% sale, which is $279.60. Very good material. Sateen with 460 thread counts. Feels good! as we will be sleeping on the bed 1/3 of our lifetime, we thought it is better to get a good quality bedsheet. Comes with 1 quilt cover, 1 bedsheet, 2 pillow case, and 2 bolster case. Yes! 2 bolster case. Most package comes with only 1 but this comes with 2.  

Also got a purchase with purchase offer for 2 pillow protector at $9.90 for 2.

Finally get my butt to move this LCD TV from wifey's office to my house. Wifey won during her department's lucky draw. Free TV for the living room for the time been!

For our sink

Received a new item from postman today. Our Kraus sink Kraus basket strainer! Thought that it came standard with the sink but ended up is those normal strainer. Basket strainer is still the best thing in the world. Though this is alot smaller than the one at home (which can fit my whole fist in it), this one can only fit a toddler fist, the quality is great!
