I cook moderately, my aim is to cook at least 7 meals in a week as I would like to reduce eating outside. Self-cooking-meals are definitely more healthy.. 
Furthermore, I love food and I enjoy cooking. 

Seriously, if I have an existing fridge before moving in and gonna have wet kitchen, I would also place it in the wet kitchen. Too 'sayang' to trash it, isn't it? (Of course, it is provided that the old fridge is not too 'old' and not having heavy electric consumption).
It is perfect to store all cooking stuff and raw material in the wet kitchen fridge, and keep another fridge in dry kitchen for things like ice-creams, cakes, milk, juices, beer, fruit jam,etc...  If that's the case, the fridge in dry kitchen do not need to be in gigantic size actually...

Really girl i dunno how u handle all the stress etc.

Plumber forgot to off the masterbathroom tap. They hacked the wall for hot water piping. Contractor had made a hole for new washcabinet. Tank water was empty at that time.When the water ration was over main came full out flooded my whole downstairs right up the street. Although nothing was damaged other than the existing ceiling etc since no tiling etc had been done.. but just feel now i have a spoilt house. Cant get over the feeling.

Happened over the weekend. Noticed it only Sunday evening. Meter shows about 11000 liters of water.

Really salute to u. This was my first hickup and i was about to sell the house. One week didnt go see the house already. Really like no mood to care anymore. Enthusiasm of moving to first landed property of our own feeling gone.

I resorted in buying a lot of tech gears to fuel my hobby that i thought i forgo cause wasting money.
Was even thinking of ordering two Titan Zs.
Was like why the hell we spend so much for the house when other workers etc doesnt give a crap that all this is hard earned dough...

Wife actually slapped me. Lol.

As you can see, my space available here is nothing bigger than the Uk's. I really don't need a separate room just to put that single washer, do I??     

Haha.... I'm definitely not the first one, it's such a common thing everywhere including the states...
Thanks for your reminder, but don't worry for me, my past experience tells me that it gonna works perfectly fine. 

I haven't been to Canada so no idea bout there... I lived in a 2 and half storey terrace in London, visited many other houses with various sizes and setup....all with washer under the kitchen counter... Ppl just don't bother to make a laundry room while all houses actually have real massive back yard for grass and plants.... I haven't been to a bangalow to see the difference though... 

Talking about food, of all places outside the HK, there are actually best Chinese food in London and Vancouver (this one I haven't been to). Reason being these 2 places lives the most ppl from HK... I find the food there are at par with in Hong Kong provided that you know which restaurant to go. I can't find better roasted duck here... However, the food that I craved most when I was there were nasi lemak, roti canai, curry mee, teh tarik, etc. 

Ok, let's come back to Malaysia...many places that I've seen included my mum's, placed the top-loading washer very near the kitchen as well. Most of them that I've seen put it in the wet kitchen. Talking about the actual distance from the stove, there are no difference with mine except that mine is under the counter top but many of others' are 'parked' at a corner against the wall. 

Err... Unobstructed view is what I'm after...that's why I've actually been struggled whether to stay in condo or landed... Chosen the latter for the convenience of parking, loading and unloading stuff from car...

Same here, had issues with manhole pipe clogged, minor leakage, plumbing miss-planning, etc... Hang in there bro, it will all worthwhile your hardwork and sleepless nights when it's all done.   

The alpha fan actually performs better than fanco's as the latter is slightly shaky when it turns on to top speed. Fanco fan just need normal "U" shape fan hook while Alpha's need an additional support on top of the ceiling as it uses U bracket.

U seem to have some kind of obsession and fascination about laundry area.

Just sayin
