Solid top = Shiny and least porous but subjected to scratches and heat. Granite = very porous, w/o heat and scratches issue. So chose only the dark coloured ones. Quartz = Composition or certain % of quartz and "plastic" stuff. Rather expensive, less porous than granite, no issue with heat. Imho, every type of top will have its pro and con. I've use the most expensive choice Caesarstone, thinking it'll last a lifetime. I guess it will, but then I was advise not to chop hard near the joint and now facing issue like newspaper stain are not easy to be clean off.

Acrylic have a short lifespan. While it'll not break, crack marks will appear within a few years under heat and cold.

Its Vera A011 purchase at Phenomenon. Cost 488 with the sink as a package excluding GST. I won't recommend this one, as the flush is not powerful. The one in my MBR toilet is a Velin 3390, cost 550(ex GST), its a better one. ============== Its a Seiko. I purchase it over the net as I'm too lazy to shop. You should be able to buy one locally.

If it smell, then something must be wrong with the trap. Could the base of your trap be stuck with debris? The same outlet for HDB sink and WC are common. If gas came out from you WC, its possible to come out from the basin drain as well. S$0.02

Thanks for the advise, after trying 1/2 an hour with the brand new tile bit(I cool it off with water at 2-3 min interval), I finally gave up and us the mansonary bit at drill mode(again cool with water at 2-3 min interval), then finally masonary bit at hammer mode(slow speed). The tile surface did chip off, luckily for me, my hanger fitter manage to cover the chip. Total time spend = 45 - 1 hour for 2 hole :-( I've seen the door maker using a special bit with hollow in the center for drilling floor tiles, it seems to work well for them. Then I did not manage to find one in the market myself.

I've tried using the triangle bit for tiles/glass. Have been drilling 1/2 an hour, not even 1/2 way thru the tiles ...>_<...

The shipping cost is more than double of the pad :-(

Courts megastore

1) AIRCON!! its the window unit. omg, i didnt noe that they eat so much electricity until u guys told me. i think should change to inverter aircon.. if i get a system 2 but use only 1 aircon, will the charge for the electricity be the same as a system 1? timing when its on wise, cannot be changed. they sleep during that time.. AC with inverter are costly to maintain, but if you are talking about running it all day, might as well go for it. 2) lights, i think this have to change also. they like to on the light. if i want to save on the lights, means have to get the energy saving bulbs? hmm.. seems like got to go ikea to see.. their lights that they on is one switch but it ons 4 lights at one go.. toilet they also like to leave it on. Invest in LED light bulb if necessary. This will cost you a few thousand, but its the greatest energy saver. 3) Fridge. its a 5 yr old fridge. sayno superior.. does that eat alot of electricity? how to see if the appliance eats alot of electricity? issit by seeing the voltage or something? Look for the label with wattage. 4) TV. omg.. this is the old type of tv. the box one. -.-" they have nothing to do at home, so watch tv whole day.. sometimes sleep also watching.. Time to switch to LED tv lah. 5) cooking. My SO is going to ban cooking in the house. his father some times forget to off the gas.. and then run off to smoke.. i sense a disaester waiting to happen. if dun cook can save water and gas. Gas and water will not cost as much as electric. For safely purpose, you may with to look for stove with safely valve. need opinons for the cooking thing for those with 3 in a family. is it more cost saving to buy from outside for dinner than to cook 4 dishes a night plus rice? Difficult to say lah, if they eat seafood every meals, of course its going to cost a bomb. Cooking at home may be more healthy, as most hawker food contain more MSG then one normally use at home. I just realized something very dangerous that they are doing.. the old flats in each room only has 1 pug. so they have multi plugs on multi plugs. i think need to help them get more plugs. what do i tell the electrician? i want more points? how much does one point like this cost? hope to get a rough gauge because i need to plan how much money we have to fork out for this. If their flat's socket outlet is wired in ring circuit, it will be easy to spruce an extension. Thanks!

I'm looking for a 38" x 24" genuine leather desk pad. I've seen some online overseas, but the shipping cost is almost 3x the price of the pad itself. Any clue where they can be purchase locally in Singapore. All I've found so far are all made of pvc.

Thanks for your advise. My mbr balcony sliding glass door are tempered, while the ones with wooden frame at my main balcony are normal glass. The folding door with tempered glass are too expensive for my budget :-(

Standard practice in S'pore, 1.5mm for lighting, 2.5mm for scoket outlet, 4mm for heated/air-con. If you have never study CP5, then better leave it to an qualify electrician.

I'm no expert, but after seeing how the top is being glued to the cabinet, I don't think there's any way one can remove the top w/o causing damage to the cabinet.
