Since the reflective area is kinda small and they are not facing the bed, it's not a major concern...
True, it is indeed stressful and we shall already be expecting some imperfections anyhow throughout the renovation. Any rectification works sure take more times and hassle, so we may need to close one eye if the defects doesn't affect the functionality and it is not too obviously seen.

However as a consumer, it is our rights whether to be convinced by their given reason and accept those defects. Thorough inspection is a need after each major work. We should not afraid to voice out and point out defects as a good vendor will surely rectify it for you unless there is a valid reason why they are unable to do so.
If ones is 'malu' to voice out, then he/she has to endure the unpleasant quality for many years they live in there....

Adui! Those flowers are things that I don't want!....    
Hahaha!!

Yet to get the final bill from my main con but I don't think he is charging me for that little job... Actually he has done quite some small small things here and there for my favour which I really appreciate. 
If talk about changing of design, don't you think without a built-in cabinet and tv panel can actually allows me to change the console much easier even like once a year? Kakaka~
If I really do not need the pipe in future (which is unlikely unless i sell the house and the new owner got to do it), easy thing to diy actually, just patch the hole up.

Nonsense. It is much harder to change the design if you have a built-in TV panel. Without a fixed TV panel, you can easily change the TV console, update the wall with a coat of fresh paint or wallpaper. You can even add a TV panel later on, if that's your thing.

maxxon,

about the pipe for tv cables, i like the idea but cannot think how the tv power cable head ( the one tht come standard with TV) go throught. i saw yellow cable, for astro is it?

i not very high tech but appreciate if can learn something here.

You are definitely good in analytical thinking.   I actually did not think of its advantage on the re-painting! Thanks for pointing that out....for me, it's just some idea came to my mind so that I can avoid the tv panel, so I straight away asked it to be done...
Hmm...can i put the surged protector to the master switch then?
I don't have a TV with me right now, but i think it's something like pics below.
It's a stupid idea from me, a lady who just want results to be realised per the image in her head...
You guys pls improvise it if you like the fundamental idea.
(It's same goes to my polka dots planning that I just simply plot it out using a simple edditing apps in my ipad, I know it looks stupid to some but I just want things done with my least effort).
Wow!! Intresting~ you may want to share the result with us forumers once it's done. 
Everyone has got their ideal way of living. There isn't right or wrong. In the forum, we just share what we like and did, propose what we think and remind if we see any part overlooked...

supersound,

since u know everything i got a question for you, i have installed steel door frame and will install solid wood doors for my bedrooms.

i also like architrave. can i install wooden architrave to steel GI door frame?

Takkanlah side wall also aluminium mar? Very ugly lor...
The skirting in aluminium or stainless steel is good enough to keep it tahan many more years. My mum's advise. Her cabinet base is still 'pretty' after over 20 years now...
We are definitely not going to pour a pail of water... Just normal mopping..

Taiko, I'll wait till I live in a bangalow to use solid wood... Now melamine with glass door already cost a bomb... Like this already a good 18k...

Supersound,

Do u have a thread on your house. U seem to know evetything. Hope u can share your wisdom with all of us. Photos show a million words. (Thousand too little for ppl of your wisdom!)

Wow you have your eyes on Oriss as well! I saw that last Saturday in Perfect Living, and was very intrigued by their kitchen set. The brushed stainless steel top is marvelous! I think it will overcome the biggest disadvantage of SS counter top which is prone to scratches. Also equally cool is the metal frame. I think the biggest obstacle will be the price - it is simply out of my league hahaha...

Did you see the metal + wood display rack as well? two for RM6k... phew... But it looks so good!!!

I am now very excited and eager to see your house design... hahaha...

yes, will check that. but i guess can only be confirmed after I actually choose and appoint a kitchen contractor and do a site visit.

No idea when we will start reno... still waiting to get the keys and start defect rectification first!!! Thats why I am taking my time to appoint someone, using all my available time to visit every kitchen contractor in this area!!!

any advice to check for defect if it is a condo unit? not sure who is my up neighbour yet though.. 

New water pipes? Its a new house, why do i need new water pipes?

I hope its not a major reno - electrical, plaster ceiling downstairs, kitchen and wardrobes. Hopefully no extension.

i think the main issue is to get the upper floor neighbour perform flooding on their respective toilets. if they do not check it during completion, next time if later found leak sure very headache.. 

Yeah, but with a new house i have no need to do major hacking. Would be a huge cost to replace new pipes!

I'm reserving the back portion of the kitchen for other purposes. Eg, i might put 2 chairs and a small tea table for me to lay back and enjoy some coffee or tea. I also prefer a spare space in case i need to do anything on the floor, eg chopping sugar cane, or soaking some ingredients for 'ba-zhang' (dumpling)... I wouldn't know, as this kitchen is meant to be a home kitchen but not a showroom.. i think i will appreciate the extra space in kitchen.

The walkway space from washer is 3' which i think enough geh...

Must not be so rough lor...otherwise, later I wear safety suit and safety hat...kekeke~

The island is essential to me as I cook and bake.. I need a good table top space for preparation..The counter top at otherside will be occupied by electrical appliances like rice cooker, toaster, thermos flask, coffee machine, juicer, etc..

..............

They have other electrical items too. The shop is quite small so not many items are on display. However, if you already know what you want, then just go ask for a quotation from them. I got all my air conds there, and will be getting the other electrical appliances there too.

Speaking about ceiling fans, I think the main reason you are seeing flickers and shadows when you turn on the fan is because Alpha fan rods are too long. I think if the distance from ceiling to fan blades is reduced, the chances of flickering will be reduced as well. I plan to get the Panasonic Nami Jr. fans as it has a relatively short ceiling-to-blade distance. Hopefully it will work well .
