Aircon
The old one in Kelvin's room was not working properly, it could be switched on but it wasnt blowing cool air more like hot hair haha.
We went to Gain City (heard from the renotalk forums they had good reviews) and the aircon person came down to the house to give some quotes. They recommended Mitsubishi Electric and Toshiba as the better aircon brands to get nowadays. I always thought Daikin was not too bad but the aircon person said got some pple complain abt Dakin haha (and i rem the one in my room now is Daikin and its also spoiled!)
In the end, we got the Toshiba Aircon inverter and so far we've used it a few times its great. The room cools quite fast and there is an energy saving function to use if you want to save electricty. Its also super quiet so u wont hear the aircon motor sound when u switch it on.
Parquet flooring

Before
Here is the old parquet floor before it was grinded and revarnished. Kelvin's dad decided to have the whole parquet flooring done in the entire house since we were doing it anyway..

After
