*phew* finally approved

as seen from my previous post, my reno permit application to top-up the extended living area floor level  has been pending for over a month since late May... and for the last few days, my frustrations grew with no updates of any progress from neither the hdb nor my id.  so in the end taking things in my own hands, i tried calling up hdb again.  that was however fruitless, either i can't get through the line or nobody is calling me back even after i called in the general line to register my concerns *fuming <3* so my last straw?  i started drafting an email to hdb expressing my dissatisfaction and at that time, i was already contemplating my next step if i din hear from them by tomorrow.

so guess what, the hdb responsible called me this morning and ... they told me that my renovation permit is approved !!!! finalliiii \(^_^)/ *hip hip hurray* i will always wonder if it is simply coincidental that the approval comes after my email.

and so now, the ball is at my id's court. let's hope they can cleanup the mess soon and still complete the project before July ends.

oh and a couple of stuff that i have missed out in earlier post:

• toilet doors - sui bo? happy that my choice of "white" turns out good :)

guess which i choose?

common bathroom (left) master bedroom (right)
note: they are of the same color, just difference in lighting *wink*

• delivery of hob & hood - waited for over an hour for the guys to deliver them, my neighbours were wondering what was i up to *heehee* hopefully i can post pictures of the installed products soon

hob & hood delivered on 29-Jun

• 2nd visit to blum showroom - after much deliberation, i decided to *splurge* on blum tandembox ... i simply can't resist.  another hole in my pocket *sob* luckily my id does allow me to purchase directly from blum.  otherwise i will have to suffer another markup from the carpenters.  for those keen on blum products as well, you can check out gallery of their product lines - http://connect.blum.com/index.php/gallery.
