Initial selection completed

Slept barely 4 hrs last nite coz of the nap earlier but surprising dun feel tired... is there something wrong with me? Hmm...

Just back from meeting with ID (Pris) at their Marsiling office (showroom) and settled the initial selection of tiles and laminated material for the capentry stuff. Easily spent almost 3 hrs there with the initial 1/2hr + in the no aircon/ fan store thus we were perspiring away. Left around 10.30pm and you know what, we were almost trapped in the lift!! Lucky thing is the lift stalled for a while, and after pressing the emergency button continuously, the lift jerked twice b4 the door finally opened and a stupid voice-recorded message asking us to get out asap, like as if we want to stay longer!! The door kept opening and closing as we got into Pris' car. She was kind enough to drive us back to AMK mrt station for me to take train home and Web took a bus. What a day!

Chose different tiles for overall (living room/ dining, all bedrooms) and kitchen + balcony. We chose materials and colours for the kitchen cabinets then took quite a while to decide on our master bedroom design (colour theme) etc and finally to the vanity cabinet. Now we will wait for Pris to come up with the design concept and we shall see if further adjustments need to be made. We also decided to fabricate pillars at the entrance to avoid facing the main windows as we will remove the balcony door. For fengshui reason, we not supposed to open the door leading to any doors/ windows to avoid flowing out of "chi" for the house. The pillars suit that purpose and also able to allow wind to seap through from the main door as there's where it mainly come from.

We have also decided to add in more false ceilings and lights to enhance the overall atnnosphere of the dining room and master bedroom which Pris will give us a proposal. We have also finally got confirmation from HDB (they called Web today and informed our ID too) that our permit is approved and we should have the official letter soon. The reno work will start on Monday, 21 May 07 as planned thus it should be completed by end of June if everything is smooth!
