thanks zelly. i'm hiring help to clean the house so i only have thurs afternoon to do so. must make sure everything's clean when the furniture move in on friday. worse thing is, last night i went home and realise something was done wrong. this, to rectify, takes 1 week at least!

arrrrr..... supposed to HO tomorrow... seems like impossible!! now they are still doing the carpentary... i was planning to wash the house on wed, start moving things in on thurs, unpacking and also deliveries on friday and move in on SAT! Haiz, low morale now.

There should be some excess wallpaper after installation, so i'm wondering if anyone keep theirs?

really? ok ok i go take a look. hey, you can go try for a daughter one you know? keke.

thanks samgalz! just what i need now.. hehe.. this is good poison!

patsy.. bring them all home! haha.. cannot find in singapore leh. yeah lor, so envy...

wow ngunadi, that's deep. but so true.

thanks samgalz hope chio tap can last... my previous house taps all got probs. had 2 taps and both give me probs. the 2nd tap was having some issues, but i didn't do anything about it since i'm moving....

my hubby usually travels, so didn't have much time to "supervise" the work. now that we are about to move in, he shelved all his travel plans, scrutinise the work site and giving the contractors a hard time. wahahaha. i'm sure he will do a better job than me in the inspection.

yes ngunadi, we really like it! we are supposed to move in next week. but i still have tons of things to buy. hope i can get everything by tomorrow. need to let the workers fix them all up. grrr...

The search for kitchen tap We have already decided to get a Hansgrohe Talis S, but we had not went ahead to get it. And lucky we didn't cos when my Franke sink supplier called and ask me about the type of tap i'll be getting, then we both realised that the tap might not be suitable due to the skirting (as my supplier calls it) was too wide for the sink tap hole. So we brought the whole sink to Homes and Bathroom and the nice staff took out a new set and tried to fit it into the tap hole to show us. It turns out the tap fits! But then, the width of the sink not wide enough for the goose neck tap. in the end, we have to search for another one. i have particular requirements of my kitchen tap. it must have an extractable spout with option of spray. so we asked the H&B staff and they showed us a Grohe catalogue. And both hubby and me fell in love with a Zedra. We were even willing to fork out the extra money (over Hansgrohe) to get that tap but H&B gave us the bad news. They can only get the tap end July and it's not even a firm date. They said Grohe recently always disappoints with their delivery date. I must have the tap by mid July because my house will be ready then so I told hubby, I will try to search online. Went ebay and finally found one. It looks like the Zedra but it's called Ladylux. I was cautious and kept checking about shipment method, and time it takes to ship out etc. After much "interrogation" by me (poor USA ebay seller), I finally placed my order and even paid extra US 5 for a faster delivery via Express International Mail. Every single day, I checked on the tracking to ensure that I won't get it too late. This morning, I saw that the item is in Singapore! Was so relieved because I must have the tap by end of this week! Then just now, the package came. So so happy! My colleague cannot understand why I was so happy over a tap. Haha. It's really a beauty. The Ebay seller was nice enough to declare the item just under $400 so that I can skip GST. And I paid for my tap $200 lesser than what I would have paid if I bought it in Singapore. Here's the tap:

hey, your gate swee la. it's full silver is it? i asked for mine in full silver too, it's up already, but it looks more grey than silver. then my contractor said it's like that. i wonder if i should get them to do it again. the grey just look so flat... bo sui leh.

haha.. when it's really completed and fully furnished then i take the pics ba.. i'm also looking for sofa bed to put in my daughter's room leh. so the cousins can stay over. do you have pix of that sofa bed? we also hoping to shift in and hold our house warming before the 7th month leh. i hope i can pack everything in time for that.... have you arranged for the stuff to be in?

me sis la.. not bro. haha. haha.. actually if you not in urgent need to move in, can do slowly and made sure everything is nicely done up. i run out of patience le.. i want to move in ASAP!! btw, my handover date is 20 July, next Tues. Can't wait. Wow, hope to see pix of your house soon!

i've used my utensils for 8 years also. actually ikea is not that bad la. just depends on what things you buying. some really cannot make it.

hey samgalz! congrats leh! so happy for you that your reno is ending soon. my contractor also just confirmed that my handover date is 20/7. can't wait can't wait!

are you doing reno for your new house? if yes, that means you have to finish the reno then you can move in. so if you have no place to stay during this period, you may wish to nego with your buyer to delay handover. but if your buyer don't wish to, you will have to find a temporary lodging already.

too late already. paid for it liao. 1.6k for everything... and since this is a TV thread. i contribute la, i'm getting LED.

i don't want to win. i just want you to stop saying anything about my comment and i will stop bothering you. how to contribute? they have you to ask for advice already, they don't need me. frankly, i did my fair share of read up when i looking for HTS. told my hubby what i read here and xtreme but he went ahead with harmon kardon. good or not, i don't know. system not up, i can't find a lot of info on harmon kardon, will only know when i have it set up and listen to it.

lack of knowledge just correct me okay? correct the misconception like you said. i will probably thank you for it and ask you more information. there is no need to be rude. why you can be so rude yet be so yaya about it?

plasma not good is not a personal attack. bollocks is. you write good english but then you really know the meaning behind all these???? Square???

wah.. mister.... you really lor..... i said plasma no good cos of the power consumption. frankly, i know nuts about plasma having good picture quality... but is it wrong with my statement? you can just advise me on the good picture quality and tell me that power consumption will not be an issue, instead of posting that comment! i have never ever question your guru status at all! those who seek your advise said you are the guru, and i never dispute that, but does that give you the right to be rude? why i said you write for digital.asiaone.com, cos your guide to buying tv all copied from there. so unless you are a writer for that, please have the decency of naming your source. i already stop commenting to let this matter rest, i didn't even thank vex for helping me say a few words cos i don't want things to get worse. but you just won't stop do you? and still want to say "hope youre not a lady coz lady & electronics dont mix very well". i never even return any rude comments to you. go read my posts properly and stop saying anything other than giving advice to people who really want to get a tv.

i also requested for the groove.. cos i saw someone here doing it and thought it's a great idea... all those wires really ugly. my previous house, i don't know what to do with them, so just use cable tie to make them neater... tried my best but still cannot make it la... i hope mine will do a good job. pray pray.

where did you get it from?
