thanks for the explanation, and sample pics, u guys... so this means this type of shots can only be done on dslr? crap...then my cam confirm dont have this capability...

YEssshhh sir! how to do it ah??

hiya grace... i recently concluded my search for my oven and got the FP867SX1! bought it at mega discount katong for $1630 since i was in that area after settling my laminate flooring. can wait to lay my hands on this baby in a few months time! thankfully. the saleperson assured me that the loading is just 15amp and that the brochure i had wasnt an updated one... btw, any idea if these built in ovens be able to do grilling that Robert does? i like the way he uses pieces of wood wrapped in aluminium foil to smoke meats...must smell heavenly when that meat roasts!

ohh..lidat ah, then maybe its abit high...coz mine will be dark tinted mirror as feature wall on my store door and wall surrounding it...think clear glass should be cheaper bah...

elo simon, i saw a couple of pics u took and left at kopi's blog. can advise how to take those type of shots ah? those like digital macro types where the main image is very clear and background like faded. love those type of pics as it accentuates the focal of the pics very well. im using a canon ixus 100 so dunno if can be done on my camera...

purely tub only no jets inside right? then u can have a wide variety to choose from with $800...dun worry, more then enough!

hi Merydith, ur condo at regent heights? high floor sia...got any view of the nature reserve? btw, just to let u know that the best place to quietly view bathtubs is at Sim Siang Choon showroom at Changi South Ave 2. Do drop by when u have time. The staff there are non existent so u can take ur time and snap pics or simulate a bath in the tub without them harrassing you. hahaha

Dude, glad u asked! Yah, its a store room which im converting into my cat(s) room. Dun like to keep him in a cage when im not at home, so was very pleased that this flat's store room got windows for ventilation and my cat to 'wash' his eyes. Lol. Sux that its abit small to my standard but will do for now lor. Here are some pics on what i had planned for my lil darling... Cat Condo Cat Shelves It will be top hung windows with 1 KDK ventilation fan and probably some wire mesh if i feel he has learned how to open the windows (highly doubtful tho)

oh, and if u wanna have those massage bathtubs with jets, u gotta consider space for the motor also but should be right around the tub lor.. btw, merydith and lilith (.....like sister sister name leh? ) do drop by sim siang choon at their changi showroom to recce for more bathtubs..that place has it all jacuzzi tubs, normal tubs, kiddo tubs...but no ice cream tub yah.. . Location is at 21 Changi South Ave 2. I went down yesterday evening to see if i can find anything i like. this weekend going balestier to see if they have what i liked at sim siang choon. Lol! actually, i didnt give much thot to taps and mixers etc...initially i thot maybe $200 budget for all taps and mixers are enough...boy was i wrong sia! most costs $100 and above!!! cut throat! and the one i really fancied from hansa costs $5k leh...freaks! hmmm for credit card holders ah? den i not valid lor...i dun have any and not interested to get anytime soon. maybe i get simple2 taps and mixers since my wife bo chup on these except for kitchen sink...she said got water come out can already mah..

0.6m2 extension only?? so stingy sia...if all fails, u can still go for the standalone tub since it will be on legs and u can run the pipes into the bath. i saw this done before locally in some decor mag. alternatively, get a smaller sit down tub? it only needs 1.2m of length. saw it yesterday at sim siang choon. more for kiddos tho in my opinion...

$640 considered ex ah?? coz some quotes i got was up $1000 and above but Mr Yeak quoted me same leh for about same dimensions as u... is this mirror clear glass and on a flat wall?

haaa...so rumour is true that u brought the jinx onto Liverpool when u start supporting ah??? ehhh..looks weak at the moment??? stevie mac retired ler...think at the moment one is stevie g yah...Lol

told u mah, on the merseyside there's only two teams...Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves lor... hahahaha

3 to 4 users u can still live on wireless connectivity. does ur flat have many walls? if some areas u find connections not so good, just add access points in that room. then ur setup very easy lor...dun need to think deep deep one...haha...plug and play ler... pls look only at wireless-N router for your setup although i feel for 2 users, u dun need a dual channel router. the way technology is, once u have 3-4 users its probably time to upgrade! for desktop its best to connect via ethernet, cat 5e can do for you. actually with the new opennet fibre optic connection promising 1000mbps is quite useless for now coz i dun think our ISPs provide connectivity speeds of 100mbps and above tio? xbox if im not wrong dun come with wifi right? u gotta buy the adapter right? never used xbox before but my friend had mentioned this coz its a microsoft product so essentially means suck $ form users...hahaha

hehehe...so bo liao leh hose myself... er...pipings actually...got mah, den how u gna fill up ur tub or drain the water after use etc? if not u can use hose from wash basin to fill up and den vacuum out the water after use? save cost this way maybe? hahaha... yup, exactly...but its fun lor planning and organizing all these...important to know all these at the back of our head else, when discussing or meeting with salespeople or ID etc they will know if there is a big carrot standing in front of them..hehe oh yah hor, i havent really looked at taps and mixers yet...but how much for hansgrohe roughly now? the talis got promo?

kids eh? i foresee they will wna hog ur tub too... ahhh...what'll i do now for a good soak and read whilst listening to some Micheal Buble....oh wait, the image of my wife hosing down the wall is ruining this moment of solitude... quite a number of shops along balestier and jalan besar sells tubs...park mall also got one but costly to me.. depending on dimensions, material etc, costs can be between low $200 to $2k upwards...then must bear in mind construction and piping of the tubs etc easily another $500 to $700 based on what i was quoted... oh yah, best u dun buy first, get site measurement confirmed by ur ID/contractor then look for those exact dimensions...otherwise very leceh gotta change this and that...btw, good luck on ur ID/contractor search! make sure u find one before getting the house keys yah...

hehehe...yeah, my sweetheart is quite a character. Funniest, most adorable woman i've known personally. hands down. deep down i know she originated from cartoon network background. i hope u get to live ur dream too! kitchen was my most planned room followed by the bathroom. will u be combining ur two bedrooms? any chance ur utilities room can be waterproofed and half converted into a bath area?

i keep hearing this all the time...sad aint it...? its always the next season...argh!!! er...rush and barnes were coming to the end of their Liverpool careers back then.. i started out on the McManaman, Redknapp and Fowler era...was still in primary school though.. funny that i was intending to pin my club mast on the winner of the 1992 fa cup final. i told myself, its either Sunderland or Liverpool now... thanks to Stevie Mac, am a proud and glad Red ever since! C'mon on no.19!!! There always next season!

gotta check with my contractor then if he can absorb this for just 2 doors... it'll definitely gonna be black glass if i go for it...me like clutter free areas and hide from prying eyes since our relatives all kaypoh2 got comments2 one...

Hi Kitchen Matters, everything's fine and piecing in well. thanks for the feedback. i have bought Brandt FP867SX1 after the sales guy confirmed that it only uses 15amp loading hence no issue. Phew! Got mine at $1630 after a little bargaining. Cant wait to lay my hands on this baby! Thanks for the advise on the self cleaning panels and turning on fan mode to rid of the lingering smell (silly me didnt think of this at that time!)

their pricing is similar to Natural Cool's...but cheaper than hong tar's or GC... for most of us, they would be an unknown entity as compared to Natural Cool which have been around for awhile so their installation work is known... im not slamming them or anything but maybe u guys shd check this out since we are in a sharing mood here? http://sgrate.com/forum/thread-9682-1-1.html just bought a single split inverter last night at $200 lesser than forcesguy contact.. the catch is, u gotta have some old aircons to trade in...give them a call to check. Good luck with ur choices!

More Pre Reno Pics Study cum Gaming Room Cats Room *I totally forgot to take MBR and toilets pics that day. Was pissed coz my hp reception went blank on me that afternoon whilst waiting for Mr Yeak at the flat. Because of the hp (and singtel's cranky network reception), i thot he was late. Then he thot i havent come up to the flat since he cant call thru to me. Lucky he waited for half an hour. When i called him on my wife's hp, he said almost gonna give me another half hour before going off. Thumbs up to Mr Yeak for always being prompt and on time and for the patience to wait for me whilst my hp and singtel mobile got itself constipated that day.

im thinking, would it be better if my top cabinets siding the hood uses glass panels instead of laminates? glass definitely easier to maintain then glossy laminate right? concerned with warping or staining over time...

well, probably because everton needed to relocate their sunday park gathering... so found a place in tiny singapore where evertonians can sit quietly...eyes far far away from Liverpool's trophy cabinet... (which sadly have been bare of late too) like what shankly said, "there are two teams on merseyside...Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves"
