Updates @ 19 April

I just got back from Miri today, and got myself a couple of ventilation fans and more importantly, have my own time with my wife, out for quiet (and fulfilling!) lunch . Oh yes, I also burnt a $1.1k hole in my pocket for an AV Amp to complement my KEF3005s...

The intention was to get myself the ONKYO TS-XR605... well, a quiet lunch with the Mrs was the main intention (sorry Darling heheh), but secondary is the AV Amp, however this shop has just sold out their last set yesterday! So instead, I have to fork out for another RM200 for the new model: TS-XR606. About the shop itself, it is King Sound @ Pelita Commercial Centre (behind Grand Palace Hotel). They specialised mainly in high end system, those that appears in UK magazines like What Hi Fi & Hi FI Choice.... the owner., Mr Vincent is well versed in all this Hi Fi thingy, and very friendly. Get in touch with him 6013 837 2777 for your hi-fi needs.

Anyway, back to the house. Today there were about 12 workers doing the tile works (inside - some touch up as the carpenter manage to break one tile; and outside - the driveway), carpentry (dry & wet kitchen), painting (the woodworks incl. stairs handrails) & cornice (of the completed corridor cabinets). Well, enjoy the pics below:

Wet kitchen cabinet almost done. It just need 4 more doors.

We bought the IKEA Rationell drawer set in Singapore, and asked the contractor to build it into our wet kitchen set... it works like the Blum set in Signature Kitchen, but a lot cheaper (I think I said it in my last post)

This is the dry kitchen lower cabinet/drawer . . . .
. . . and the dry kitchen top cabinet/shelves

. . . and the whole thing... looks neat

the aluminium borders . . . I like!

a third coat of paint on the handrail. . . it shouldn't be glossy, but I'll check again tomorrow
