  1. Condo/HDB? Karang guni now also quite selective one. I heard it's quite hard to dispose of bulky refuse in Condo. Even some of the delivery people who used to do it for kopi $ are not keen now. They will only remove the pre-existing item that they are replacing... my sis had to pay quite a bit of kopi $ to remove old fridge/washing machine from the house.
  2. A lot of pple are buying newstar cos it's the smallest sized transformer. my parents went to SLT on last friday to help me look for it. Also no stock, was supposed to have stock coming in few days time then. Bought a monster 300w transformer with it's own inbuilt circuit breaker. Apparently many japanese expats use it for their MIJ rice cooker haha. I call it a monster since it weighs at least almost 2kg... Anyway i confirmed that my honeywell blew up when it tripped the circuit breaker. Now since haze is gone, n i have tons of filters for the 17000. I'll wait for some price drop before i buy a replacement one
  3. Thanks so 2 weeks only prior notice. Cos it's difficult for me to take leave
  4. wow the insani24 items are being transferred to DHL liao. guess i will have to store these items in my parents place for a while haha
  5. Many functions are duplicated by current smart tvs yes. that's why i don't recommend to get one anymore. 4-5 yrs ago, i was telling all my friends that it was awesome. now, most bluray and smart tv can duplicate about 60-70% of the function liao. But it can still do other things like being bittorrent downloader and act as a very simple NAS. In terms of subtitle support, it still can do more compared to the usual smart tv which can only handle .SRT files.
  6. wah u also so many problems. I wanted to ship over popcorn a300 long ago but some reviews about poor soldering and QC within the box stopped me. Anyway the trend into USA is all about amazon prime, netflix, hulu etc. All the new technology and firmware improvements are in these streaming players for them (Roku etc). So hence the low QC found within the industry is likely to continue. Honestly, the least problematic mediaplayer i had was still the WDTV. Couldn't do a lot but at least not so bloody buggy!
  7. i'm just going to use NAS to stream to my bluray player in future. won't bother with media players anymore. Anyway now i think laptops have HDMI output very commonly, at most just plug into tv... 2-3 yrs ago, all these don't have...
  8. i'm still using the playonHD. it just hangs quite often. I guess after going HD-> HD2-> HD3 and essentially the same device being updated, they may have worked through most of the bugs. My one still have outstanding problems 1. cannot play certain codecs without extensive pixelisation (only for anime). dunno why since the CCCP codec list is essentially unchanged since 2011. 2. crashes dam bloody often 3. CANNOT DETECT MY ROUTER! Apparently a problem with some cisco router. 4. subtitles support can be bit wonky. sometimes cant detect mkv got subs Other than that, it still does the job. I would say its a 3/5 star product
  9. i have a acryan. i don't particularly love it. haha too buggy. and they withdrew support after 2 yrs. still lots of bugs.
  10. The HDB letter saying probable date of completion is End august 2013. Anyone knows usually how many wks in advance will they let us know about key collection ?
  11. Sourcing for quotes from some more well known RT contractors and ID. Only met one ID so far ... So not much to report. Bought my taps first to make use of Manhattan card once again. From www.insani24.de. Here are some pictures of what we ordered. Mixture of mostly grohe stuff and 1 hansgrohe tap Common toilet tap Common toilet mixer & showerhead MBR toilet tap MBR shower system Now just need to await delivery.
  12. wow the stuff u are using are good quality. Chill and enjoy your new home
  13. But price difference a lot leh. ur kohler on taobao is 780 yuan. I'm buying one of the cheapest grohe shower system is 300 euros.
  14. it is cheaper. but the shipping fees are not cheap as well. i would say about 40% cheaper but if they have promotion for that particular mixer/rainshower the difference comes down. I'm buying grohe and hansgrohe stuff. Haha can't compare to taobao price I don't forsee installation as a problem from what i've read. as least not that i'm aware of.
  15. i think if the reviews are ok. u can try. like u said it's cheap. What u need to worry about is the mixer leaking after months or 1-2 years. But if it's a genuine Kohler MIC product, i guess should still be ok. Compare to vs buying those cheap MIC rainshowers in the bath shops also no difference. I'm going to get my MBR rain shower from insani24.
  16. BTW. that item is not eligible. as it's shipped by "tool king". only amazon stocked items are eligible. This one may be shippable BUT does not qualify for free shipping.
  17. When u search initially. a list of items appear right? this is the item page itself already. So go back to previous page. on left side will have the option to tick "amazonglobal eligible"
  18. google black friday. somewhere in november, still long time away. click amazonglobal eligible on left side after search. theres another list of criteria - namely not oversized, less than 20 pounds wt, stocked by amazon itself.
  19. actually i prefer open baskets for trash. I bought a howard's storage step dustbin only for one reason... in case i want to throw away soiled diapers even then i'm more likely to take a small plastic bag and immediately throw away.
  20. haha no leh. i tried when i reached home abt 1.5 hrs after the trip happened. transformer feels cool to me already. Has the light on as well. Anyway, i will buy a large wattage transformer to try 1st. Well ... lesson learnt
  21. So for the air purifier buyers, I ran the 17000 with the 100w transformer yesterday. Wanted to run it at a time when no other major appliances were operating like aircon or PC. Seemed to work well at the start. Had to go out so left instructions with my family to run it and check if the transformer was turning hot. Apparently it tripped the circuit breaker after 1 hr or so. After reaching home, can't seem to power on the 17000. transformer still has a light. So not sure which one is spoilt. Probably the 17000, but hopefully not. Sigh. Well at worst, i would just have paid a very inflated price for a spare HEPA filter + prefilter lol
  22. i dunno too much. I bought all this before got free shipping. my wife shared in mass order from iherb. Have a few munchkin toys. Spoon + bowl set. No need tipper cup yet, just drinking from bottle for now. anyway i must have bought about 150 usd worth of books for my girl. building her own personal library... Prices mostly cheaper than bookdepository.co.uk. But some still cheaper on bookdepository.
  23. so far the fluctuations for normal products are like less than a dollar lol. haha maybe cos i only looking at like household items.
