must ask warranty cover what.. so the extended warranty only applicable in the robinsons sale now?? princess one is the cheaper version.. think $199.. but actually if u buy novita ss16 abt $239, not big difference.. the one with metal plate (ss19) is more expensive at $373.. but ss16 only blue and green whereas ss19 comes in black and silver.. i very colour consious one.. when i did the search and read some of the reviews, some of the forummers say both brands like works almost the same.. so i dun noe if i spend more.. one of them did say the one with metal plate can iron lines.. but the salesman i talk to at ck tang say ss16 (without metal plate) oso can iron lines.. got metal plates looks more reliable ma.. delimma now le.. pocket very dry already but feel like getting ss19.. trying to convince myself the cheaper one is the same..

Robinsons having sale this weekend. Was thinking of buying a steam iron but I just called their outlet at Centrepoint to ask and they says that electricals is not included in the sales. Imagine if under household, you will get 20% (sale) + 20% (special household sale) = 40% discount! Irons should be under household what! But even normal sale also not applicable. Taka is selling it too and Taka sale is just over (same as CK Tang). Think I got to wait till the next sale is here for Taka since I got the Taka card. Plus I still have yet to use my Taka vouchers. But I'm also thinking if I should buy the Novita (more expensive) one or Princess one after reading some reviews on it in the forum. Any comments?

i just called centre point robinsons to ask, they got sell but its under electricals and not under the sales dis wkend! so sad.. if u can, when u are there, can help me confirm again?? coz the tangs guy when i ask if tangs got sale, is e novita iron oso sale, he say yes..

OOOoooo.. marilyn monroe! hehe.. tks! i'm scrutinising the novita steam iron brochure now.. haha.. if got discount, cfm buy dis wkend..

ya lor!! $50 lei.. was like a 3 days difference only.. tat's y u shld buy yr stuffs now due to gss and gst!! hehe.. when i wrote out those thousands chqs, i can hear my heart shattering oso.. om one oso got drawers.. got the soft close feature too so it wun slam shut.. evov dun have the package liao lei.. tat day i ask maggie coz i was flipping their file and saw it, says its over already.. my whole place is oso filled with black mirror, black glass.. very nice rite!! guess its the in thing now.. i hope i still feel the same way when i look at it 10 yrs later.. but vincent took white/cream sofa to contrast all the black lor.. but if i choose, i oso choose black, easier to maintain somemore.. we did not measure the size lei.. shld be abt the same fr e way i see it.. haha.. walk to bridge then naturally straight la.. buy liao oso..

hmm, tmr see i got time when in office walk to robinson go take a look got sell not.. tks for offering, no worries, i'll ask ard my office first see anyone of them got.. i hope robinsons sell, can save some $$.. ck tang sale just over so think will only be back in quite a long while..

haha, i took a torch to go see at night lei when we did not have lights!

tats so sweet of yr hubby.. mine is those typical egoistic kind of man lor.. dun appreciate and wun help to do one.. hee.. but i really like yr idea, coz most people will hack away the balcony and extend the living, u did it the other way round.. really unique! and i love the way u do it till like a nature sanctury.. very ! i agree, the bigger the house, the more housework to do - more floor area, more windows, more cupboards..

but m'sia dvd quality is dup fr original dvd ma, as good lei.. i mean u get the older shows la, not the new ones.. sorry la, i'm a pirxte oso.. find it too much to pay for one original dvd and only watch once.. unless its a nice show that i already watched before and want to buy to keep like italian job or lord of the rings..

i thot u staying alone?? or yr mom will go over yr place to cook?? older folks usually disapprove electric one lor.. u ask yr mom to choose between yr choices la - electric one or charcoal one?? keke.. so good.. but how much extra did it cost for goodrich people to do it?? a lot?? sorry la, but can i ask wat is monroe? the colour on the label says dark brown lor.. but under normal lighting looks black, under spotlight looks brown.. it feels like suede.. i just called vincent to ask him abt it after i saw yr post.. hehe.. he says high chance of wat happen to yrs happening on mine but cheap things are not practical.. if willing to spend $300 maybe can get a good quality one that will not peel.. i will take note to be extra careful when handling it.. tks for yr advice!! actually i'm hoping to find a pvc (leather lookalike) one instead.. anyone got any lobang?? yrs pvc?? vincent did mention he saw a leather alike one in ikea before but when i asked the ikea people, they say it could be the previous batch.. i went to tampines one and alexandra one, both is suede alike material lei.. lwhen u buy one?? ucky u!! can we swop?? haha.. number lock lagi more dangerous.. can hack more easily.. anyways, i tell vincent, if any of my appliances go missing, he will buy a new one for me.. haha.. since he guarantee it will not lor.. i havent been to their shop before, is it in changi or something?? when we chose the wallpaper, vincent had the catalogue..

Thanks to helpful forummers, got the answer I need regarding drilling in my household shelter. !! HDB Rules Allowed: Fixing of removable screws with non-metallic inserts not exceeding 50mm deep for fixtures and equipment (Eg. pictures, posters, cabinets, shelves, wall fan, ceiling lightings etc). Not allowed: Indiscriminate hacking and drilling of the HS walls, floor slabs and ceiling slabs, other than drilling into HS walls and ceiling slabs to affix removable screws on inserts, provided the depth of the insert shall not exceed 50mm. But I don't think I've time to rush to Ikea today to get the Stolmen shelves (want to do a full height shoe rack) for the carpenters as they are there today to complete the rest of my carpentry. Guess got to ask hubby to do the mounting le, not that I don't trust him but the last time he offered to mount a curtain rail from Ikea for me, it was still in my storeroom from the day we bought till the day we moved lor. Anyways, at least I know it can be done le!

need 30 amp.. the electrician spilt into two 15 amps for us.. but i hardly cook and even if cook, will not on all three rings so its fine.. but the teka people did say that usually hdb dun buy electric coz need very high amps that only pte ppty can achieve.. i do have a friend stay 4 room whom got the ariston virto-ceramic hob and she uses it almost daily.. its perfectly fine coz so far her power did not tripped (that's the concern, not enough power for the hob, power will tripped).. if u are enquiring in terms of power consumption then the technical aspects of it, i'm sure it does compared to a gas hob.. but i'm going for aesthetic and design la.. hardly cook ma.. hehe.. that's why doing open kitchen wih carpeted living area.. if cook, siao liao, don't noe how to clean that..

"Your apartment will be worth a fraction of what it is," he said, "your jobs will be in peril, your security will be at risk and our women will become maids in other people's countries." call me a maid lor. @#$%^&*. read the article here - http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/04/09/news/sing.php.
