And now, the end is near, and so we face, the final curtain.

My friends, I”ll say it clear, I’ll state my case, for which I’m certain..

That this, is indeed, the final episode of Home Decor three! For Sixteen weeks we have been cracking our brains, sweated and toiled over fifteen homes and as the chinese New year draws near and we are down to the very last episode, which is oriental chic. For this episode, we were happy to have terence and wive on board with us and it was all fun and pathos as we painted, sawed and drilled for the very last time. The last before looked like this:

what you see is the original state of a five room flat in Toh guan

As the area is rather huge, we decided to do a switch of position the tv as the traffic flow in the living room would be smoother.. and the somewhat plain built in cabinets to be redressed in red vinyl stick on.

we decided on a wall mural, a rather modern chic interpretation of an oriental dragon on the wall..

And also diy our very own screen to separate the dininf room and the living room..

And with the oriental pieces which we got from ” Just Anthony”, which uncle Lim was very kind to coat the two single chair in white, we created our Oriental chic home..

As always, we were very much happy with what we did and even though we lost, dear terence and wife was very gracious about us losing.

With the final scores of both team came to a draw, auspiously 8:8, we came to the end of the rather controversial season finale of Home Decor 3.

On this note, our team would very much like to thank everyone for their participation, support and encouragement throughout the lengthy sixteen weeks.

This week, our second last episode, we are dealt with a tropical theme again..However, on second thoughts, not exactly tropical as some of the asian countries are blessed with winters… Generally, when we think of asia, we tend to think more of our close countries, if not then it would be like bangkok, hong kong, korea….somehow, we felt that India is really exotic and a fusion of China and India might just bring out the exotic nature of today’s theme. This week both teams got a four room corridor unit and they are just a block apart..My contestant is a really strong lady with a very good friend,who happened to be her neighbour as well.It touched me to know that the person who auditioned for this show was actually her eldest daughter, who passed away late last year.Putting her sorrow aside, this mother went ahead to participate in our show just to complete her daughter’s dream. This made us really wanting to put our best leg forward and if possible, to win this round.Not for glory, but to celebrate a mother’s love…

The original condition of the flat is pretty okay i guess, rather pale white walls and slightly cluttered.. lots of room for improvement..

Transformation began and eventually, it looked like this..

Thought that a drawing of this indian lady will add a touch of india to the tv sideboard i made..

Did a diy enhancement to the sliding doors to the kitchen by using a base board covered with wood slices trimmings which was varnished after mounted onto the board with glue.

Simply adored this rectangle dinning table in clean simple chinese design with great tuckshop like long benches. Matched with two intricate metal crafted chair from India. Just loved this combi!

The choice of furnitures and colours in this episode seemed to take everyone by surprise. We were very much pleased by the transformation and we marvel at the fact that we were able to change the colour of the wall in a mere 20 mins time frame.This taught us something, whenever there is a will, there is a way.

We were very much inspired by the two ladies Doris and hua jie..

Thank you for letting us learn….

For the very first time,we were given a topic which includes the word freestyle.Which is good as we can explore all possibilties but yet, scary too as we do not know its boundaries. But with the nod of approval from our contestant in view of our hip hop idea, we went crazy with Hip Hop freestyle!

Before we started with anything, we went over to their place and this is wat we saw

The place looked pretty raw i think..and the job scope seems pretty intense.However, since we have already lost 3 episodes, we thought why not just relax and have fun with wat we were doing and just enjoy the day!

Since we are doing hip hop style, how could we not have a wall graffiti? So we did this rather abstract three faced thingy on the wall and it came out looking like this..

Lee Teng came up with this fabulous idea of having a collage of hip hoppy prints on the wall and meticulously, he created this.

Methinks this is the best idea from him ever and having the ottoman and the lamp and the recycled exhaust pipe all tucked in one corner, it is definitely an alternative cosy corner.. We decided on a grunge looking dining area and boon transformed the plain white walls into this

First win of the year. We were happy with the eventual results of 2 versus 1 as we took a big risk doing something so radically different plus the fact that the judge who voted against us votes against our favour all the time when he is on.What really surprised us was that what we had accomplished within that short span of time!

To us, that ROCKS!

Tonight is the debut night of Folks Jump Over The Wall!!!

This is a project that i hold very close to my heart.For the past two months, i have been working non stop and almost filming this dramedy everyday.In fact, this project seems to have quite a couple of “First Times” for me.

This is the first time that Kym and I work on a drama

This is the first time that i work on a drama with boku films

This is the first time that i work with Henry heng

Marcus chin

Tanghu

Henry thia

and wenhai in a drama

This is the first time that i play the role of a nurse

This is the first time that my co-actors in majority is older than me..

We had so much fun while filming this project. Initially, i wondered if there would be a gap between us ..however, amazingly, we gelled pretty good.They are not as old as they looked and i am not as young as i thought..Our favourite pastime when in between filming would be talking about good old times and taking afternoon naps together, since there are quite a couple of beds hanging around.

I really hope that you guys have a great time watching this show as much as we enjoyed making it.

The team really put in alot of effort and very much dedicated to this project.

On this debut night, some of us are still filming episode ten ..Another 10 days to go before we wrap up the production.

This has been a wonderful adventure….

Hi all, its Monday again! This episode is gonna be the first for year 2008! Since we have lost twice in a row, we are really not looking forward to another round of defeat.With our bubbly contestant Anna and hubby, we got to work and created the following look!

Aiyo! We lost again wor!

That makes it three in a row liao! Fortunately, anna and hubby were really gracious about it and with their encouragement, we will be back next week!

Think we were all shocked and saddened by the sudden news of MC King passing away this afternoon.

Unexpected and without warning, he left this world..a world where he has brought much laughter to..he left while we were all working, studying,sleeping ..eating…….

I remember him to be a joyful person..always ready with a joke..someone you could count on to make matters light..to lighten things up…to make happiness fill the air..

One  moment this afternoon, he left all behind..

What do we do?

We bemoan that he passed on too young in disbelief…

Some chose not to believe this..

But, unfortunately, it did happened.

I thank him for being a wonderful person,

I salute him for his dedication to his job,

I admire him for his love of life….

As of today i shall change my perception of life and how i will live my remaining days

I shall behold each day with zest for life,

I shall derive joy from life each day..however hard the day was..

I shall treasure what i have at this moment always and rejoice in having them

I shall live for the moment and not plan that much ahead( how could we know wat will happen in ten years when we could hardly forsee what will happen in the next hour)

I shall forge ahead bravely and do what i want to do without owing anybody any explanation(this only applies to good things and not bad deeds)

I shall attempt to  practice forgive and forget

I shall be kind to myself. Very much kinder!

Rest In peace my dear friend

Thank you for you…being you.
