Was thinking about hardwood but I have dogs. So now thinking about hardwood laminate. Hear that some are now as good as hardwood. Don't want laminate in the kitchen so am going to go with ceramic. Thing is the kitchen shares the same open space as the family room so either I ceramic the entire space or break it up with ceramic in the kitchen and laminate in the family room. Just wondering if it'll look ugly. Upstairs will be laminate too. Probs going to go with wood laminate for the stairs too.

Oh yah, I heard too that some of these laminates are really good. I think got different grades bah.

No, I saw your layout. Your kitchen is separated by a wall from dining, right? No? Anyways, mine is open concept also but we can have ceramics in kitchen. Then, somehow, there's that curved hardwood part that separates to the dining area. so my dining is hardwood. but must be very careful leh. our furnitures the legs right? got that aiyoh, what you call that ah, you know? like felt like that one? ah, must put that one.

won't lah, won't look ugly. it gives a sense of separation, actually.

oh, laminates on the upper floor too? it is a good idea. Wink

actually hor, you ask me house things hor, i very kayu one leh. hopefully what i say makes sense hor.

alamak.......ka ki jiak, boh jio.........

okay bye bye all. Wink

jetta SG

Makes sense, makes sense. That's my greatest fear, that the floor will be scratched. Since hardwood scratches easier than laminate (plus laminate cheaper some more), we're going to go with it. The developer gave us a design programme to pick and choose colours and finishes. I've been playing with the programme for a few days now. Headache man!

jetta SG

cool new thing happening in japan... the onna otaku.. or girl-nerd Laughing

actually, what's kinda scary is that wired.com has a "schoolgirl watch" Shocked

In Tokyo, girls who want to get their geek on head for Otome (Maiden) Road in trendy Ikebukuro. Retail stores on the 200-meter commercial strip cater to the emerging subculture of onna otaku (she-nerds) by stocking femme-friendly comics, gadgets, and action figures instead of makeup and clothes. Increasingly, the sought-after goods - from cosplay outfits to anime DVDs - are being co-opted by wannabes in the States. Here are some tips for spotting a real onna otaku in the wild. - Lisa Katayama

10 Ways to Identify an Onna Otaku

Hair: No chestnut dyes, no colored highlights, minimal brushing.

Wardrobe: Generic jeans, shirts, and sneakers (with price tag left on, Minnie Pearl-style). Jacket from store at train station. For more formal occasions: school uniform, kimono, or Dhoulmagus costume. (He's the mysterious jester from Dragon Quest VIII. Duh!)

Pets: Six virtual pups on her Nintendo DS. (She feeds and walks them hourly.)

Phone: Worn clipped on pocket to look "technical." It's got a 3-megapixel camera, built-in smartcard purchasing, TV tuner, MP3 player, and browser.

Storage: Cute bags are OK for jaunts, but she prefers wheeled luggage for comic cons and epic shopping trips.

Magazines: Four different anime monthlies, Cosmode (for cosplayers), and Dolly Dolly (for figurine fans).

Diet: Why cook when 7-Eleven has beef bowls and habanero snack chips?

Recent Purchases: Action figures and manga galore. Spool of DVD-Rs for, uh, "backup" copies of her fave shows.

On her laptop: Script for Sailor Moon/Anakin Skywalker doujinshi (fan comic), links to manga release schedules and 2ch.net (think Slashdot).

Under her mattress: Boy's Love comics, which depict romantic, tragic, and hot pretty boy-on-pretty boy action.
