Introduction - My New Flat in Punggol

Hi all!

Welcome to my blog. Just started this because I am renovating my flat in Punggol. It's actually a 5-room premium flat covering a floor area of 120sqm at Punggol Breeze. Basically, it comes with HDB doors, toilet bowls, floors and master bedroom sink. But still, there are things to be done, such as cabinets, built in appliances, wardrobes, yadda yadda, hence the need for renovation.

As I go along, I will touch on my renovation process. Honestly, it can get pretty tiring running up and down trying to get the best deals but if you're tight on your budget like I am, it pays to do your homework. As well as avoid some of the mistakes which I have made. *wistful look*

Meanwhile, as promised, photos of my new flat - which I got the keys on 13 January 2012. Comes with balcony and bay windows:


Welcome to my living room!

MBR toilet. With a bulky sink!



MBR toilet, this time with a view of the feature wall.



Walkway to the rooms.



The washing machine area - good for putting something about 60cm in width.

Honestly, I think this washing machine area is quite stupid. Unless you live on the top floor with no such pipes, chances are that you'll be quite limited in the types of washing machines you can buy.


The rather annoying and difficult-to-use pulley system clothes rack.

Ok, that's all for pictures. In my next post, I will touch on checking for defects in our HDB flat and what you really should be looking out for - and what you actually needn't be so fussy about. Till then!
