Culture in Details

Over the years, are things being simplified or are we losing our culture?
Visited a museum today and looking at all the beautiful work pieces of the past, makes me understand the essences of the culture and their beliefs

Beyond the purpose of beauty, every little detail plays a very important role in their traditions, culture and beliefs. Everything has its purpose in its place! Amazing!

Home Decor Ideas Part 1

These are just some of the home decor ideas i've got when i'm traveling around and getting inspirations! ;)

So tempted to buy this pillar! but it is too big to carry back on the plane! HAHAHA
But i really did cary the flower vase on the right all the way home on a plane!

More inspiring photos to come~!

Furniture shopping

This is one of the most exciting thing to do, when preparing for you new house!
Shopping around for chairs, sofa, cupboards!!!

Many would have used this as a dinning table because it is a dinning table!
But loving this table and yet it does not fit my living room design, i got it for my study instead!

Saw the cupboard on the left? it is made of Acacia wood!
For those who know what Acacia wood are, they are wood that by right will not rot or decay due to the way it is 'constructed'!
The sofa on the right is what i really like!
Love both of these so much but too pricy for now i guess.. =(

I'm trying to find a nice and yet comfortable chair to match the study table....

Got your keys? What's next?

After years and months of waiting... 

i finally got the keys to my very own home in Yishun, Adora Green!

Like any excited couples, you would want to move into your new house straight away!
Not so that you can escape any scoldings or nagging, but simply to enjoy the space of your own.
Actually, i kinda enjoyed staying with my in-laws where home-cooked food and family gathers are not to be missed!

After getting my keys, opening to the door to my unit, the first things people should look out for, despite of the burning desires to move in, is for the defects of the contractors.

Below are just very few photos out of ALL the defects spotted. For some units, they only had very little defects, but for mine, the list went up to more than 30 items. So spot them and label them!

 This rusty hangers for the built-in cabinet seems to be quite a norm, considering it happened in 2 out of 4 of my cabinets.

 This is a rare sight but i got no idea why there is a wire there.

Scratches on the switches are also very common, but i think these are the worse so i wanted them to be replaced.

The frames in the toilet window are very badly dented, i couldn't help it but they are really obvious especially it faces the light directly from the balcony.

Missing skirting! hahaha and they even had one of my balcony walls painted halfway with grey top and left the bottom white!

But no worries, most of these are fixable but still, be very careful to check that they actually fix them!

Photoshoot 2013!

Just had a photoshoot with a group of fun-loving people. Being in the same group for at least 3 years now for most of us, the 3 years have had it's ups and downs. Times where to laugh together, times where we hug and cried together.

This is the first time we are actually having a proper photoshoot together at Singapore, Clarke Quay! Video is a playback of our past, but photos are still memories stored.

Whole group photos!

Group shot with the girls!

 

Fashion shots!
