Zooming into Details

Some of the lightings photos and other detail fittings in my house. I think these fittings are not considered in the valuation. From my own research on the valuation price of units around my place, I reckon that 99% of the valuation scores goes to the external factors such as location, floor level, type of flat, facing & view, amenities & facilities & environment. Although the valuers says that they also take into consideration of the fittings, you can't expect them to have a detail evaluation in that 5 - 10 minutes when they visit your flat. They will just based on the checklist and if you read the checklist, rating for quality of fittings cannot be found anywhere.

So I post some of these easily ignored fittings here for your reference. These lightings were scouted personally, piece by piece, from all over the places. They are part of the parcel you will get anyway, but in case you wish to change them to your liking, please don't throw them away, give them back to me!

One of my balcony lights

My made-to-order bathroom door (I designed it and personally sourced for the frosted glass) Don't worry, you can't see through. Even someone is standing right behind the door, what you will see is just a blurry shadow.

Ceiling Lights in Master Bedroom

Ceiling Lights @ Dining Hall

One of the lights in the bathroom, right on top of the mirror. Beware, it reveals every pore and pimple on your face. Well, that's exactly the purpose of this light.

Wall-mounted Lights

One of the 2 same ceiling lights in the living hall. I made a mistake by choosing this lights, without realizing that the glass cover is too thick. It is not bright enough for a practical living hall. Yes, it is romantic, but you don't need it to be romantic every evening. So to be practical, I took out the cover of one of the lights, exposing the bulbs inside. Now that I talk about it, it suddenly comes to my mind that I should have installed another simple fluorescent tube for daily use, and switch to this romantic lights as and when we need the ambience.

I can still remember clearly the expression from the face of my office cleaner Kumar, who kindly helped us to move house, when he saw and asked me about this fan. "Is this an old fan?" "Er... actually it is brand new, it is an antique-look fan." I answered. I could sense the BIG question-mark in his head, "Why you bought such an old fan for your new house???" Kumar has since went back to Bombay to set up his own business. I believe he is doing well there.
