Get well soon and happy moving in! time to move to the next step....housework housework and more housework! =P

Have a good rest at your new HOME! =) yup...cross my fingers that there would be no delays in delivery from Hommage tomorrow.

The seller is robovac8 in ebay if im not wrong. haha the arm rest also as low as mine? i found similar designs but main different point is the arm rest area. i need it to be low so that at least i can lie down sideways on the sofa as well...shun bian let roomba vacuum that area. LOL

hee...yup same...2 in my home...1 in MBR small passageway and the other 1 in normal passage way..haha same here too...took fren to the place there to buy...LOL...frens share together the MJ SET for me for my new house...LOL....=) would post pics in my blog again for the MJ table this weekend..LOL

you can check out artukidding.com. Think they are at Paragon. You can check out my reno blog to see the effect of the stickers my wife bought. =)

LOL...ya very tempting if you are one that does not like to bend down, vacuum, drag cleaner again and again. haha. My initial vacuum was a dyson or miele vacuum cleaner with good feedback...but after i learnt about the i-robot from my friend and found out the price which is about the same (maybe more expensive by around $50) as a dyson or miele, i decided to go ahead with it since the biggest advantage is that i can just relax and watch the vacuum at work. LOL The only con is that have to sit down with roomba for around 15 mins to use brush to clear the dust in it after every cleaning cycle unlike vacuum can store the dust inside and clear it when it's full.

Hi Bearlyn, seems like we both prefer ice cube lightings at the passageway. =) NICE!! Congrats on getting everything done soon! hee by the way...saw your wife's wishlist about mahjong table set..you can try getting from swee huat plastics. The variety there is quite a lot. Not really sure if they are wholesalers or not though since i google about mahjong table and found this company. Their reply is quite prompt as well. i got extra heavy tiles, chips and normal mahjong table from them with a small discount. =P

hee thanks a lot..would check out vhive =) sorry for hijacking your thread samgalz

hihi paiseh paiseh just saw this reply as i didn't had chance to reply at home LOL...busy entertaining groups of friends bit by bit over the weekends for now at my new house. The first dining table we wanted had to be custom made and was promised by Eric to arrive in July but during the last week, he told us that his supplier couldn't make the table and therefore he's no longer getting from this supplier since there were delays and quality problems. So we had to go to Univonna and see if we have any chance to find another similar table (previously our 2nd choice table was from Univonna) since he's affiliated with Univonna. In the end, that table Univonna has was also out of stock in July and could only arrive in August. So we told Eric what we wanted and asked him to arrange. Hopefully nothing would go wrong tomorrow.

Yup she's very happy with the result. Thanks!

hihi...first charge is 16hrs...but after that, after every full cleaning cycle of whole flat, it would go back to charge and should be about 3hrs for a full charge. But if you are going out on holidays (e.g. for a week) and not using the roomba, you would have to do a full charge of 16hrs again. Hair is not a problem anymore if you use your roomba every 1 or 2 days. Just schedule it to vacuum if you are working =).

Hihi SamGalz, Need advice from you..haha So the furniture is delivered by their supplier instead of Hommage? I've also ordered a dining table from them that would arrive on 3/8/10. Hope there's no more hiccups from them like the first dining table that i ordered from them. Anyone has any idea where i can get study room chairs? those with back rest and wheels de...i saw some from IKEA...but duno if they are durable enough or not.

LOL...ok then let all the parents jiayou to CLEAR all the mess then =P

hihi you've got mail! =)

LOL...samgalz...no choice...have to try my best to make the whole house as neat and clean as possible coz got baby...=P Jiayou in clearing up the mess hehe!

Hi i've installed JH25 as well...no problems with the mixer tap as well about temperature. But water is leaking from the storage heater though and it was rectified the next day by Joven personnel when i called them up. So no issues for now with it.

hihi you've got mail!

LOL crawl here and there still ok...i'm worried about the stage when she run here and there..

hihi just reach 1 year old.......now happily roaming around the new house and touching everything which we are so worried about...need to get more safety items for her...if not sure...bump here and there...

I-ROBOT roomba 560 @ $650.00 from ebay sg: Working well so far. Almost 90-95% of the house can be cleaned daily..you can feel the difference after it goes back to home base to rest. No more hair on the ground. At least i don't have to drag the vacuum along to vacuum the whole house haha. Good buy i would say. End of items i've bought for now. Below are some photos of our messy house. LOL Study room after moving in. Red Background Frame to be put up at each toilet as mentioned by FSM. Initially it's just red background and totally doesn't click with our theme.....luckily he mentioned that we are able to put any designs in it except for real life photos. So my wife went to design something to put in that red background. Common Toilet: MBR Toilet: That's all folks for now. Enjoy the photos and hope you guys don't find me too boring..haha

Wall Decal @ $33 from artukidding.com: Moving on to other items: PS3 SLIM with HDMI cable @ $442.00 from Qisahn.com: Clock from IKEA: Bolt-less Storeroom Rack (180cm by 130cm by 45cm) @ $289.97 from Thian Lee: Still quite expensive as compared to normal racks with plywood panels but it looks good.

12) Miscelleanous Stuff that we bought: Let's start from my Baby's room: Playmat @ $180 from EXPO BABY FAIR: Thick and good enough for adults to sleep on as well haha which i've just experienced it last night. Wardrobe @ $200++ from IKEA: (paiseh can't remember the exact figure) Design nice but of course we don't expect much from IKEA...haha this is for baby to scratch with colour pencils when she's big enough. Flower Light from IKEA: (bulb to be bought seperately)

11) Samsung 40" LED TV UA40B7000WM and 32" LCD TV LA32C450E1 from Dick-Harvey Norman Hougang Price: $1699 + extended warranty $140.50 and $679 + extended warranty $58.00 Ultra Slim Mount: $180.00 Though i have heard a lot of complaints about HN from forums but in my situation, it's totally opposite. I have to say WELL DONE to this particular guy who has helped me a lot. Prompt delivery and co-ordination from him especially in SMS. Firstly, my feedback about this 40" LED TV. It's good enough for me for standard definition TV and PS3 games. Picture quality is good and clear. Waited until the very last minute till the June IT fair before i bought it and i believe the sets were grabbed away fast before it became discontinued. As for the 32" LCD TV, it's normal quality only that it has a USB port as well for me to plug my external HDD in to view movies as well. As usual, i did my research before settling down on this TV. Haggled about more freebies from Dick and he was kind enough to provide us with a external HDD 320gb for free + vouchers. We wanted a TV that could be flushed in perfectly. Initially, this TV came with its normal wall mount (at that time, we refused to purchase the slim mount for $90 after recommendation from Dick). If you remember the photos in one of the previous pages and look closely, we would be able to see the mount + the wires behind the TV. This was our design to the contractor but we didn't expected it to look like that after using the normal mount. We were so sian at that time and had to ask our contractor to think of some ways to rectify this problem. Our conclusion was to box up the whole area near the wall and put the mount out to hang on the panel in order to hide the wirings. But that would make the TV potrude out by almost 2 inches which wouldn't be flushed in at all. My last resort was to buy the ultra slim mount from Samsung in order to try to make it as close to the box up area as possible. i tried to ask around but it's sold out everywhere in the main stores due to IT fair (GC and Courts selling @ $199 and $200 but need to wait. Best Denki not selling) The situation was quite urgent as my whole handover date would be delayed again if i never manage to get that mount. Fortunately, i SMS Dick and he mentioned he try his best to help me to get it ASAP. Didn't really expect him to help me since my TV is mounted already and in use. True enough, after 2 or 3 days, he SMS me saying that his friend, Norman from Millenia Walk Branch managed to find a new last pc. On that day itself, Norman call me to confirm the order. Upon my confirmation, the best thing is that he took a taxi down from Millenia Walk after finishing work to pass the mount to me. I was very impressed and decided to post it here. Thanks to both of them for making my day. Below is the final outcome of the TV.

9) Sealy Mayfair Queen Mattress + Storage Bedframe from Kevin @ Expo Price: $3,200.00 This was bought on impulse @ the initial price of $3,288.00. After a month, price dropped and i managed to get the person to lower down the price a little. Service was good but as for the price, i think i should have gotten a better price but too bad i bought it on impulse and no longer has the bargaining power since deposit was paid upfront. Mattress comes with 10-year guarantee and as for the storage bedframe, it comes with a 5-year warranty on the hydraulics. For your information, Mayfair has other names in different stores as well which is similar which are Sapphire or San Marino. Ayway, this bed is comfy for both of us and hopefully it would be faulty by the 9th year so i can exchange for a new one. hahaha 10) Living Room Sofa, End Table, Carpet from Lorenzo, Star Furniture and Jackson Design Hub respectively: Prices: $2,279.00 include delivery, $149.00 include delivery, $190.00 cash and carry Lorenzo: Prompt delivery. Sofa is good..could have gotten it cheaper by a hundred bucks at EXPO fair...but didn't think that they would increase the price during the GSS......quality is good and it's comfy. Hopefully i can maintain it well for at least 5 years.. Bad point is they don't entertain price hagglers....... Star Furniture: Prompt delivery. End Table is useful as it can be used as a small coffee table as seen in the 2nd photo. Quality normal. Jackson Design Hub: i supposed it's quite cheap for a 2.3m by 1.6m carpet. Lots of varieties of carpets can be found there except for authentic Persian carpets or Flying carpets. Quality is quite good too but while stock lasts. Please do make an effort to check the carpet first before paying though. Checked with Lorenzo about their carpets which is similar design but the price was $399 after 50% discount for the display set somemore!! LOL

With regards to my signature, some items have photos already in the previous pages. Below is my feedback and prices: 1) Toshiba Sys 3 Inverter Air-Con from Gain City: Total Paid: $4,400.00 Consists of upgrading to 1/2" insulation pipe + G22 copper pipe, 2nd time installation charge, 5 years' warranty + service package for 5 years. Delivery and installation on time. Co-ordination is good but on second thoughts, i shouldn't have gotten the service package as it seems cheaper to source outside instead plus servicing is not really needed for 5 years.....Air-con is working well ever since i've moved in...cooling and quiet. No regrets getting it. 2) Rinnai RH390 (hood), RB3SI (hob), RB0-7MS0(oven) from Goh Ah Bee: Total Paid: $1,381.00 ($680.00 for hood+hob, $701 for oven) Prompt delivery. So far so good for my wife. No complains from her. Not much feedback on this as i'm not the one cooking. LOL 3) Bosch Front Load Washer WAE24460AU from Goh Ah Bee Price: $1,099.00 Prompt delivery and the GAB person even explain to us on how to use and which kind of detergent to use. Easy to use and quiet. It seems to save quite a lot of water and electricity as well according to the feedback from forums. 4) Hitachi Fridge R-Z451EMS from Goh Ah Bee Price: $670.00 Good and value buy. Just the normal fridge we needed. Wanted to get Fisher & Paykel initially but the price ... 5) KDK white fan from Goh Ah Bee Price: $105.00 Just a normal fan working well. =P 6) Lightings from Freddy-Lights Boutique Price: higher than lightings.com.sg for sure but i like their service. =P All lights working well. No complaints from electrician or whatsoever. The thing i'm impressed was that after 3 months, i actually found out 1 of the tubes in my room's light was not working. Called them up and they send a person the next day to rectify and change the ballast. Very detailed explanation given by salesman about the lights used in different rooms as well especially good information for a layman like me. 7) Curtains from Miki Curtains (M'sia) Price: SGD$970 for day and night curtains for 3 rooms and day curtain for 1 room For the price, i guess it's normal. For the worksmanship, acceptable but the material used is quite good. Almost 90% blackout when i draw the curtains. Only disadvantage is that they only can come to Singapore on weekends to quote and do the curtains. As for timing, they are not really punctual but i guess it's because they have only 2 days to run around Singapore to hang up curtains for customers and promote their business. Price is negotiable if you are a good talker. 8) Bathroom items and Kitchen sinks + taps from Hoe Kee: Price: reasonable for their products ba Quality not bad but can be improved though. Service not very fantastic though but they got a huge range of products to choose from (interested people can go to their main warehouse @ Genting Lane as it's bigger there as compared to other outlets). For people looking for ready-made vanity tops (sink+vanity top), they have quite a lot there as compared to Universal Union, Poh Joo, SSC. Sad to say, i have problems with their delivery man though. First time they came, 6 out of 8 items were delivered only. i insisted to pay only after i've received everything but that uncle keeps giving me excuses and attitude that he needs to receive the full payment until i called the office personally to talk to this bloody uncle before he had to go away.
