Hi Timo87, I received the Olena brand Mattress.

May I know which sink you are talking about? The one in my common bathroom or the one in the MBR bathroom?

Takaishi: Whoops. Sorry! Thought you were trolling haha. Anyway all the best for your open house (saw your thread nice!)

Doubt so with light fixtures and furniture etc. Less than 25k for full interior renovation more apt.

To be fair... currently the watsapp group will not be created until Monday if they no show on our delivery... shall wait and see whats the outcome and I will update here again.

Managed to put up the art prints and assembled the sideboard that we bought from Taobao. Took this opportunity to take some shots. Sideboard from Taobao: http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=15992805496&spm=a1z09.2.9.82.cmytmj&_u=e1q6ekj82696 Review: Solid wood, heavy and sturdy. Only need to screw in the legs. but quite smelly. Wood varnish smell is strong when the cupboard is open. 3 prints from the this Taobao listing: http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=39258532011&spm=a1z09.2.9.73.xbuxkV&_u=e1q6ekj87b88 Quite high quality print. No complains. Round side table from tabao: http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=35677711844&spm=a1z09.2.9.276.xbuxkV&_u=e1q6ekj8a6b2 Sturdy, no issues. Almost 3 months since we moved in. Quite happy with everything except the Bennington C600 instant heater... Need to let the water run in order to get the water warm enough. Temperature is not consistent too. The water will be cold again halfway through the shower. Not sure if other fellow Bennington users are facing the same problem. Contemplating to change it to storage heater. Will storage heater help with the water pressure? Cos the Bennington C600 relies on the inherent water pressure HDB provides and ours is pretty weak. Calling town council didn't help, says it is the max.

Hi enigma, thank you... u mean Mr A? or Mr K? yeah, most of the time, we text, but both of them are more well-versed in chinese.. english not so good. wow, painting job and carpentry already, means your reno is almost there.. congrats too!! mine is still far from it....

To me, the sequence must be Rough-in Distance (distance from wall to centre of sewerage outlet > Budget > Design. No point going around sitting and choosing WCs only to find out that they are not suitable or out of budget. You must first measure the distance from the back wall to the centre of the sewerage outlet. Based on this dimension, maybe only 50% of the WCs in the shop may be suitable. I don't recall having to measure the size of the outlet or understand P/S trap. Most WCs, I understand, come with adjustable collars or convertors to meet the actual dimension. I have one with S trap and another is P converted to S trap. No difference to me visually or in usage. (P.s. P trap means outlet in the wall, S trap means outlet on the floor, which is more common). Next, your budget may put another 25% of the WCs out of reach. Finally, from the remaining 25%, choose a WC that meets your taste. I was intrigued by the suggestion to do a sit test for every WC. I have never done it, never seen anyone doing it. (Do we have to remove our pants?). Jokes aside, in my opinion, for comfort, the most important part is the toilet seat. A more solid seat is more comfortable to the bum. Something that feels like a piece of plastic about to break into two when you sit on it is no good. For those with bigger bums, or whose firing or bombing precision is not so good, a bigger bowl (and seat) will be more suitable. But usually more costly too. In my case, a visit to Japan changed my life forever. I fell in love with the Japanese toilet seat. It warms your seat (in winter), plays soothing music, sprays warm water to gently clean your bum, blows hot air to dry your bum etc. In Singapore, we do not need to go for the $10,000 and above model. We can settle for the basic model which sprays water to clean your bum. No need for power supply. There are now many models in the market, but the one I chose was from Toto. I feel it is better built. The price of the Toto Washlet is from $250.00 to $1,000.00 depending on size, features, soft closing, bidet function etc etc. For Toto, you can go visit the showroom at Bukit Timah, opposite KK Hospital and next to Sim Siang Choon, or any of the many shops at Balestier that sell too. But the shop I like best, and bought from, is Fullsun at 146 Jalan Besar. They have a full range of Toto WCs and toilet seats. The WCs also have water connection, so you can flush and see how the water goes down for each model. (No, I don't think you can poo here). Or you can try this website, which has video too: http://japaneselifestyle.seesaa.net/category/1714188-1.html I have been using my Toto WC and washlet for some time now. I don't think I will ever be home without it!
