Yes, it’s temporarily sitting in the old place but will be moving it into the new place when the proper move in takes place. A good thing to do is to connect your wii to your a/v receiver and if the a/v receiver can read the signals, it will play the audio in Pro Logic II.
The wii is connected to the Onkyo, so it plays Pro Logic II on the 5.1 as well as attempts to upscale to 720p (being that the wii is not a typical HD format).
It’s really so much fun!

After all the basic furnishings, decided to have some fun getting boh liao things just to make the place a little more personalized. We spent a lot of time planning colours, items, DIY-ing furniture from that fabulous IKEA shop in Tampines. But little to speak of in terms of fun stuff.
After surfing the net, looking at www.apartmenttherapy.com for inspiration, reading a whole bunch of home interior mags, decided to get some fun stuff to line our rooms with. Then looked at www.urbanoutfitters.com, which has an apartment section. It features some funky eclectic items that smack of dormitory, hippie chic, with emphasis on alternative rock culture and some hints of handicraft-type work.

Able to upscale to 1080p…and plays SACD. Good part is that it allows for analogue audio output as well as digital so you can choose how you’d like to output your cds (as sometimes, output from digital might be a tad too crisp for some)

It’s outdated, a tad old fashion but it packs a good tight sound when it comes to interpreting home theater.

My wife chose it cos it could (a) put lots of magazine, (b) could be wheeled around, and (c) well, it looks really chic 
and I agree! It’s wonderful to be able to look at essentially a very rational object and say that it has distinctive design qualities… the hollow in the middle gives it an illusion of lightness and a rational approach to the function of putting drinks on a side table is met with a recess into the table-top.

It’s completed. I am sure if I inspect it further, there will be more touch-ups but this is the first cut of what it looks like. Phew! Something is completed in the house

I didn’t go down the next day since the first day of painting and when I did, I was pleasantly surprised that the colours did blend. The lights were also up.

We didn’t hire designers but took a ICI catalogue and decided to be our own designers. Naturally there was some trepidation as to our colour scheme and choice…but it’s turning out to be a real stunner, if I may say so myself.
We didn’t start out with a colour scheme, just chose colours we liked and matched them based on the theme of the room. Along the way, we had to change to accomodate the furniture and whatnot… The person to thank is our contractor, who was really patient with us Guess what, the uncle who is painting our flat, painted my parents’ flat 8 years ago
