Extremely lucky indeed cos i am a upgrader from 3 rooms to 4 rooms, i heard from friend in HDB that only 1% chance to get in the balloting exercise. My years in community service pay off.

1) open all the doors of the cabinet 2) open all windows of your house 3) switch fan to full blast 4) wipe the internal of cabinet 5) use air cleaner in every compartments of cabinet Combine all the above, should be able to remove the smelly fume from cabinet in a week. My place has 54 feet of build-in cabinet, no more smelly fume in a few days. It can be done.

Slim type hood the suction power is not that strong, so the ideal height between hob and hood is about 600mm or refer to the installation instruction from the hood manufacturer. If you install at between 700mm - 740mm, you will have a white elephant that cannot efficiently do the job. If your concern is knocking your head into it, then you should build the kitchen cabinet higher, the usual is about 860mm, those ang mo kitchen cabinet is usually above 900mm. For custom made, your carpenter will charge you more if you opt for non-standard height.

The 7-storey high flat at that area were en bloc and the resident were give Block 1, 3, 5, 7 and 11 to choose, back in YR2000 and the unit you bought from me is 1 of the left over unit. Last i heard the older flat from Dakota side will be en bloc in future, they have plan for that piece of land for government condo project (maybe DBSS).

treat the 50 dollars as you drop it while digging for coins in your pocket; no need to get frustrated over this petty little sum.

Waterproof technical shell (top & bottom) for winter sport is very costly; you still need base and mid layer. Waterproof socks, shoe and gloves. Whole set easily between $1K - $2K depend on brand.

scratch resistance heat resistance stain resistance chip resistance If you going for quartz top, then your kitchen cabinet better do high quality PU spray, solid core laminates or thick laminates with polyester internal, good branded soft closing hinges, drawer and lift-up systems.

If you same size as Gary, maybe you can borrow his gore-tex technical shell (top & bottom) if he is not using. You just need to buy your own long john, gore-tex socks, shoe and glove. Skiing boot can rent at ski resort.

3 pairs? like that you sure own full set of winter gears! easily more than 1 each... your japanese must be very fluent!

Tampines... the size is 182cm X 62cm, should be medium length. Stock came in on 22 May 2012 for 77 pieces.

Are these skiing boot? Usually people rent them, you own them! Every year you go which resort to ski?

So many drawers! Why? For 1 person is enough, if got wife or girlfriend move in, still enough? The hanging rod must be quite high, can measure got 2m from base of first drawer?

Weekday afternoon i am working.

If you enjoy good music but dont wish to invest in sound absorbing material for your house, you can either try pointing the satellite speaker at a wide space or consider changing them to bookcase speaker and place them on a balance speaker stand with spike feet, about 1m from the wall behind.

Calculate what? First tell me your build, when buy tshirt, you normally buy S, M, L, XL, XXL or XXXL? How tall are you? You dont own any tuxedo, long coat or overall?

Invest in sound reducing or absorbing curtain and carpeted your concrete/tile floor.

SilesStone and CaesarStone almost same price. I paid for my CaesarStone 16 ft for $4,000. You can try ask your ID to quote you. If you want to see the real thing, can arrange to drop by my house or visit those imported kitchen cabinet showrooms in Park Mall.

ok lah, you say got. chest of drawers near window, natural light for make up is good.

the photo of your WIW, got 12 ft of hanging compartment? i only remember 8 units of drawer and some compartments for folded stuffs. you also comment not enough...

From their website, seem like iquartz only come in 15mm. I think they have similar production process. I rather go for brand (CaesarStone, SilesStone) i trust.

SilesStone Zeus Extreme is voted most white but problem is they keep running out of stock for 20mm, and they dont offer any discount if you take their 12mm, if you want it thin, then no problem. Next best is CaesarStone 1141 Fresh White (i'm using 2141 Fresh White, very hard to tell the diff, only very close up then can tell), they have them in 30mm, 20mm & 12mm. Thicker more expensive (i'm using 20mm). NOTE: If your cabinet length is 10 ft continuous, the quartz top will come in 2 pieces (cos lift cannot fit in), they will be join using resin epoxy but there will be a fine line on the surface. P.S. - Go for CaesarStone, no regret at all. Almost zero maintenance.

What color are you looking for?

Maybe you can hack away and redo your WIW; not enough hanging compartment for a woman lah.

Cant wait to see the beautiful newly renovated house.

That building with the pointed roof sure look familiar, your location is somewhere near/in Telok Blangah area?
