Mr. Lew loves this piece for its color and retro-ish look.





Went down to Far East Flora yesterday (Address: 565 Thomson Road, within Goodwood Florist) to enquire about chengai wood for our planter. From what the plants specialist told us, reckon the planter area is gonna be a huge problem. Be it tiles, chengai wood, iron wood or granite slabs.. everything would cause water to be trapped at the bottom, resulting in the possible breeding of mozzies! Nevertheless, we've decided to get chengai wood and pebbles to fill up the planter, and the Lews are to put in effort to lift up the chengai wood regularly to make sure the bottom is void of water puddles and of course, mozzies.

Note:
If you're choosing between chengai wood, ironwood or bala wood. Be sure not to pick bala wood bcos termites love them!


I'm not a flower person but i think hydrangeas are beautiful. Told Mr. Lew i want my hand bouquet to be a mix of hydrangeas and roses! (Something to take note of : Guys, be aware that a bouquet of just hydrangeas are for the platonic friend only.)



Went down to Mega Store yesterday as well supposedly to place a deposit for the LG home theatre system. The sales person was so annoying. We specifically asked for the LG model that we wanted but he kept digressing to Philips HT systems. Purely annoyed by his cant-be-bothered-about-the-customer-wants. We left in awhile after getting tired of his nonsense and decided to give the sales to the Novena sales person instead. Guess what? I just called the Novena branch to reserve the LG system and it's sold out! So disappointing. Told Mr. Lew about this and we've decided on either getting it from Mustafa or choosing another model.



Managed to get an awfully good quote from Steven of Palace of Lights last weekend (Address: 320 Balestier Rd, #01-01/02) for the 5" and 6" downlights that we're getting for our ceiling works. Will be getting approx. 19 - 22 downlights for the whole house! Thats excluding the normal ceiling lights for the yard, household shelter and planter & the hanging lights for the dining area, bedroom 2 and foyer! Though Steven gave us a good price per downlight.. but still lightings and electrical works are so expensive!
