I saved >$800 getting lights from Taobao and JB!

Correction: Last light is from Taobao, not JB. Initially, I wanted to get lights from Singapore for its safety mark (required to claim for fire insurance). However, I realised that most lights from SG doesn’t even come with safety mark and got their lights from China as well. After much res

PDD -ASKED TO MAKE PAYMENT OUTSIDE PLATFORM?!

Documenting my horrible experience with PDD refund policy. The lack of transparency and the inability to cancel my refund when the math just doesn’t make sense is just really horrible. I’m willing to bear the cost of my mistake but this is way too much and not reasonable. To me, I would very mu

My window was installed wrongly - $380 mistake!

So what happened was that our common toilet window size was reduced and it wasn’t highlighted to us. They had good reason to do so as the window will hit our yard windows if we push out + install grilles. I’m thankful for their foresight but at the same time, frustrated that this wasn’t highlig

My retrenchment story - how it went

I’m on Week 3 of unemployment now. Job market seems tough. Lots of applications but 0 callbacks. I kept telling myself that it’s okay, take it slow, I’ve enough savings. But, it’s a strange paradox: I have the time I always wanted, but after a decade of career momentum, inactivity feels like a wast

Rating the IDs we met..

Bonus: We met an ID at a furniture fair and he offered very good package pricing for a 4 room HDB. 🚩 Usual sales tactic - need to commit now to lock in the price (if it’s too good to be true, it is too good to be true) If an ID is not committed and well-prepared even before I make the 1st d

I spent <$200 to customise an “island”(?!)

I got this from PDD and thankfully, PDD was running the RMB99 包邮 promo (meaning free shipping for item > RMB99). If not, I think my shipping will be crazy since the seller told me that this is 70kg(?!). For now, I’ll just wait patiently for it to come. Follow me to see how the actual product

I SAVED >$3.5K OF RENO COST BY DIRECT SOURCING

Honestly, it’s not the easiest sourcing for suppliers that are decent + reasonably priced. Lots of research needed + I try to get at least 3 quotes most of the time? You will also need to do some coordination work between your supplier + ID and track whether measurement/ installation date has be

DIY 3D rendering - why I highly recommend it

When we signed with our ID, we realised the contract charges $200 per 3D render view — which basically means $200 for one room, one angle 😂 We still decided to go ahead with her because she came highly recommended by a friend who praised her efficiency and workmanship. She does include a fr

Just got retrenched? Read this!

Just got retrenched 1 month ago.. emotions aside, these were what I did from a practical perspective (some of it I’m still clarifying with the relevant authorities). Currently enjoying my #funemployment 😊 Gotta say this came pretty timely since I can focus more time on renovation now. Obvious

JB shopping - furniture edition

Furniture shops we visited: 1. Arthome - 4/5 - I like the vibe and furniture style. - Bonus: Free delivery 2. Ruma - 2/5 - Can drop by if you are going to Paradigm mall but wouldn’t go there specifically to visit this shop - Feels like expensive Ikea shop - RM300 for delivery to SG 3. Hn

JB cheap steals - toilet vanity edition

We have been searching high and low for a similar but more affordable design that we saw in Singapore (3rd photo) and finally found this on Tiktok. The only downside is that the cabinet only comes in 1 design. Quality seems alright although it’s probably not as good as PVC material but I think t

Where to get the cheapest Legrand switches?

1 of the mistakes I made was I forgot to take into consideration GST when comparing prices.. Choo Chiang does offer 1 of the cheaper rates, but my mistake was forgetting to compare Shopee’s rates during 3.3. Shopee’s 2 gang sockets was almost $1 to $2 cheaper than Choo Chiang’s, and I had to get

Guide to choosing your sinks..

I went for top-mount in the end as I prioritise easy replacement and have a budget I am trying to stay within. Many people think that sinks can last very long and will not be damaged but I am not a risk-taker. #sinks #renovation
