Tried playing one of my DVD today, using HDMI, but quality wise, nothing spectacular leh. pretty disappointing, just normal DVD. Is it normal or there are some things that I need to troubleshoot? Tried VCD also, haha quality sucks big time man, compared to DVD. Dun tell me got to buy HD DVD? Alternatively, was thinking of trying next time when i get the starhub HD setup box.

Hey bro! wall paper too ex liao.. unless u got cheap lobang to recommend? Prefer cheaper alternatives, say frames? But dun have any idea in mind yet. Shelvings also can, but must think of pattern too. Any suggestions or nice website to recommend? Im not too artistic myself, so need motivation somewhere man.

Upz! Nowadays getting quiet... Hey Zen, back to old topic abt HD. If TV source need be to in HD, how abt playing DVD or VCD? Any disc can be played in HD, as long as I got the HDMI cable from HTS to TV? Im a technology idiot

Thanks! Any recommendations to furnish my bare walls? Feel that my walls are very bare..

Haha. Im lazy too and dun think my wife is any more hardworking than me See how things go.

Thanks! But white sofa very hard to maintain... Any good suggestions? Finally covered the 2 pieces of mirror with laminates. At least feels better know going in and out of the house. Bro Mace, cover up with laminate can right? even though the underlying is still mirror?

Hoho I got the same bookshelves too! HOw do you solve the "dusty open slots" problems? Was thinking next time will clean til siao.

Any idea the culprit is local or Man in black? Now I also scared to go my place late at night liao la.

Wah lau has the culprit been caught? My brother in law also sms us today to tell us the news, say got robbery and pple got chopped. Tot he was kidding. Seems like its real. Hope this will make the police realise this is a high risk area. Is it on STOMP?

Suddenly tot of it. So are we still all getting the rack for bomb shelter together? Haven start sourcing for it yet though.

Thanks for the info. $399 onwards is pretty ex.. Actually my budget is only 300, so far can only get from ikea, which i don't really like Places like OM, molecule sell at ridiculous prices. No other places that can meet my budget?

STOMP them and got chance to appear in the papers!

Alamak, like dat still got to see whether player can upscale or not. So troublesome.. Yup sure man! Mine almost done... left a few miscellaneous stuff to settle. Hoping to shift in once I get a good date.

Oh.. but now also not a lot of source in HD right? sO the HDMI cable is for watching DVD on HD huh? Player need to be able to play HD? or just connect HTS to TV using HDMI Cable can watch HD already? Paiseh. I'm suaku man. Hey peeps, in case u guys are interested.. Friven warehouse sales tomorow (17 Aug) last day. 10am - 7pm at 24 Penjuru Road. Things going from $1 onwards.

Like e.g how to get HD? by subscribing starhub HD setup box? or? Lolz if Singapore play China in the finals (high chance it wil be), it will be China A vs China B. Anyway, they come back Singapore heroines and rich sia.

(8) Bookshelves and other miscellaneous items from Ikea - Quite impressed with their logistics management. Not a single item missed out and everything in good order. - Quality was alright, only got a slight dent in the mirror that we bought. Bookshelves were set up in less than 20 mins. Quality - 8/10 Svc- 9/10 Lolz. Challenge winning eleven next time! But hor, you not staying in my neighbourhood! lolz Wanna seek advice on the following: (1) My MBR door has 2 part chipped. Got HDB to change once and rechecked before I hand over to the ID. Thus, pretty sure it was chipped during carpentry work. (2) Parquet flooring dented and scratched at some area. I tot after sanding, all these should be eliminated. Saw some part with hair trapped underneath the varnish which I think its not supposed to be right? (3) Parquet skirting not properly done up... use wood color filling or silicon (dunno the term) to fill up the gap between floor and skirting and still rough after sanding. (4) Hole at the sink for fixing the tap is too small and sink has been mounted. So ID got his plumber to open up the hole and fixed the tap. However, my sink was scratched at the tap area and I think its beginning to rust. (I understand that when I bought the tap and sink, the Adamas guy never advise me properly, telling me that the tap can fit in. I called Adamas and they offered to get their plumber to come down to open up the hole and fix the tap. My ID say his guy can do it, so I let his guy do it. Now like dat.) Question is, can get ID to compensate? Quite sure that my ID will not compensate and his parquet guys can never reach the standard that we want. (pretty sure our demand is not high - we can even accept HDB standards)

(6) TV from Audio House - Came on time, called before coming. - No defects, installation guys are frenly and provide good advice. - Overall good svc. Quality - 9/10 Svc - 9/10 (7) Fridge, Washing machine / Hob and Hood from Kong Tai - Came on time, called before coming. - Fridge color delivered wrongly, but aceptable so we just took it. - Slight scratches and dent inside but realised it only when we started cleaning inside. Quality -7/10 Svc - 8/10

(4) Mattress from Simmons - Came on time, delivery guys are frenly and items are complete. - No defects noted too. Quality - 9/10 Svc - 9/10 (5) Bedframe from Siang Yiang - CAme on time, Delivery guys are frenly and though they took some time to fix up the bedframe (cos apparently the base is slightly bigger), they still look happy and smiling at the end of the thing. Quality - 8/10 Svc - 9/10

Updates on delivery of my furnitures: (1) Sofa from Leads furnitures - Came on time, however got missing 2x cushions and one missing ottoman - 2 guys came to assemble, super angry with one of the older guy. My sofa is white and his hand is blardy dirty and he super heck care and just use his dirty hand to press here and there! Can even see his whole hand prints on one of the side. Asked his assistant to clean the dirty area, he super not happy.. give me the "cant u clean urself " face. End up, his assistant pass my wife a bottle of "sofa cleaner" and ask her to clean herself. WTF. (I was settling the bedframe in the other room) Apparently no DO for me to sign as well and ask me to call Leads office to tell them we never receive the cushions and ottoman. Fine, we try cleaning using their so called "super sofa cleaner" and the stains still there. End up we use turpentine to clean and obviously the results were MUCH BETTER. Ok fine, called Leads and this guy, Alvin attended to me cos the other sales person, DArren wasnt ard. He say will get back to me by end of the day. I say great. Was still ok with their services until, I called them again in the evening, one china sales girl answered. I said, I'm looking for Alvin, then she said wait... AND I WAS LEFT TO WAIT ON THE PHONE FOR 5 MINS AND I CAN HEAR THEM TALKING IN THE BACKGROUND LA. WTH. Hanged up , called again and Alvin answered this time. Asked him again so when will my ottoman comes, he say try to get it to me by end of the MONTH. Again.. WTH! Quality - Average (5/10 So called half leather but sofa come, no leather smell at all) Delivery Svc - 2/10 (Sucks big time ) (2) Coffee table from Cellini - Came earlier but called to inform - Delivery guys efficient and friendly, certainly make my day. - Still bothered to inform me that color slightly not uniformed due to layer of wax and will come off in a few days time. Overall Quality - (9/10) Delivery svcs - (9/10) (3) Divider / roller chair from Vhive - Came on time - Delivery guys efficient, but dun seems very happy. - Assembly was ok. Overall Quality - (7/10) Delivery svcs - (7/10)
