We had a busy morning today. Did some banking at 3 banks, including changing our residential address at one and by the time we were done, it was a little past lunch time. As we were at Toa Payoh, we decided to drop by the Philips Carnival but by the time we were approaching, K had fallen asleep and we didn't want to disrupt her nap so we went off to see some lights at someone's new home.

The seller was letting go of some lights he had bought from Taobao which I have been eyeing. Thinking that we would likely get 1 for the living area and if it's not bright enough, get the other size that he was letting go for the kitchen instead, we ended up helping him clear 5 lights in all! He was surprised too as he thought we would either get 1 light or none at all. Thankfully, the hubs likes the lights too so we are all settled in the lighting department and now have 3 extra lights that we have bought from JB. To be honest, I wasn't too settled with the 3 lights that we have bought for the bedrooms from JB and am so glad that can be set aside now, with the lovely rectangular LED lights that we bought over from that chap.

When we were back at JE yesterday evening, we discussed with Jeremiah the design of the kitchen cabinet and wardrobe for the master bedroom. Some photos of the WIP:

All window grilles removed. We are replacing all the windows as well. Glad that the balcony, although an internal one, faces the big trees outside.
The L-shape low wall up in the kitchen. Loving the peranakan tiles that are laid in between.
Wall tiles up for our tiny master bathroom. The toilet bowl sits on the left, where the bigger piece of white tile is placed and approximately 2 tiles on the right of the pipe is the shower area. One can no longer brush one's teeth while the other is showering without fear of getting wet as there is absolutely no space for a shower screen.

The coming week will be painting of the entire house, fixing of all windows and grilles and maybe tiles for the kitchen and bathrooms floors, while the carpenter fabricates the kitchen cabinet and master bedroom's wardrobe.
