have fun later everyone... we wouldn't be able to join in as my wife is at work... however i will still steal a peek from our $88 seating area...

had arranged for HDB contractor over to fix a faulty water cistern mechanism in the common toilet this morning... 2 chinese guy came... had them check on the weak flushing pressure as well... guy A was quite professional... he requested for a trash bag, clean out the water cistern, letting the "dirty water" flow into a trash bag so as not to choke the drainage pipe in the toilet... thereafter he replaced the faulty parts on the spot ... guy B, who came by shortly later, didn't bothered... just let the "dirty water" flow out onto the masterbed room toilet flooring... anyway, i noted that their "way" to increase the flushing pressure is to simply increase the water level in the water cistern ... say i've already set the water level to 6 litres mark... what they will do is simply increase it to 8 or 9 litres roughly... which will definitely increase the pressure but utilising more water... so if anyone is considering asking them down... maybe you will like to do DIY... keke... maybe you might consider fixing in a dual flushing mechanism so as to save some water when doing "small" business...

who is this Qiao? HDB contractor or staff of Rigel? you mean he can adjust the strength of the flush? hmm.

hope not just a decoy... haha... but still it's better than nothing...

we would love to but we had already made plans to do some shopping in the day time so we can't make it... we will however be at our unit after 5pm though... anyway, Happy CNY! same goes for the rest of you... HUAT AH!

****z... you mean those black color fruit flies look-alike are sand flies? I was wiping the windows today and there are so many of them flying around me. hmm... come to think of it, my gf got bitten by something... we thought it's mosquitoe bite... I been biten before during NS... but never actually see one before till today... keke... Think I better keep all my windows closed for the time being liao... my gf cannot tahan itchyness one... she will scratch non-stop until her skin bleed... -_-;;

aiya... tues then i cannot go kaypo liao... not at LG...

haha... we haven't shifted in so can't visualise... but i get your point... nevertheless I'll take a good look at it when i'm there on Friday... Anyway, any idea where the demo going to be held? I might just go kapo and see see look look...

yah that's what i wanted to ask... how about if I only latch up the top slots? do you think the gate can still be removed after knocking out all the bolts? hmm...

gosh... i also rejected him TWICE... but both time when he came, our unit still under renovation... the only comfort i have is our neighbour moved in already... can keep us updated about this two? oh my parents' place near Kallang MRT just had CCTV installed in all the lifts... 2 in each lift... guess too many robberies took place in 2008...

yo fred... just curious... did the guy "Mr Kor" knocked off the joints when u had your gate opened or shut...

To all in 221B, FYI, I've recieved a letter yesterday 20 Dec from Starhub slotted between the metal gate grill that their contractor is coming to activate the signals in my unit. So check your mailbox. Date: 23 Dec Time: 2-6pm

we only put 1 downlight. haha

wah! like that also can... keke... worth a try though.

oh... i got a feeling i kanna chopped carrot... mine cost us $80... yah man... what it the brand of that padlock... we haven't bought ours... let us know and we will avoid buying that brand of locks...

I can't make it tomorrow... sigh... but i'll ask my dad to go take a look...

we're only aiming for Samsung Series 4 37"... think that's good enuff for us... haha hmm... my aircon installation is this coming friday... now really wonder if i should take leave to be there to see see look look... hmm

hehe... so how did it go? mitsubishi pple manage to solve it?

will hot or warm water help? not asking you to pour on the door yah. use a rag instead. p.s: kids should not try this at home without parental guidance. why didn't i think of this in the first place...

oh dear... did you check if the main switch at the aircon ledge has been switched to "ON"?

thought we can drill nails, but we cannot hack and remove?

We had a bit of rusty joint on the Household shelter too... reported but the HDB contractor didn't do anything to rectify it... still waiting for door magnets to replace our current rusty ones. bought most of our lights at dreams lighting at balestier. somehow we trusted this particular sales person more... pricing took the second seat... the rest were history... he give us 1 yr warrantee for all lights excl. bulbs.. not sure if this is the standard... hey darcbleu, can let me know the outcome as well? we are in the same situation too. Thanks much

Congrats, my reno just started and my head isn't feeling any better...

ah ic, thanks for educating me. learnt another thing. i have to take back my comments regarding my ID then. =)

ok i've just checked the renovation guide provided by HDB... looking through the list, the only thing that needs permit for my reno is the installation of windows & grills at the service yard... so i think my ID is lazy to apply for it cos it's needed for ONE item only... -_-'' we are laying cheap China granite for living room + passage way + the 3 bedrooms... if including skirting, gotta top-up around $3.7K... maybe your ID quoting you based on good quality granite from India or something? hmm...
