yah... cos my speakers wires are at the console suspended top, so the only way to get the wiring"into" the feature wall is to drill 2 holes on the top of the suspended... but it will look even more ugly... and if i were to change into a bigger sound system... (meaning those floor standing ones) the holes at the suspended top cannot b touched up le... so in the end i juz leave it tis way, but wrap it using the flexi trunking... at least its black... not very noticable... i hope... haha... Nex

the sofa... not really... but dont wear jeans or shorts that will "stain" the sofa bah... and normally wat i do is do spot cleaning every fortnight... then apply a layer of leather care to preserve it... and cos i have no children nw... so its still not tat bad... haha... if u do have any children... better dont get it... cos children's feet are always dirty... it will cause stain on it...

Wah!! Didnt realise tat my last posting was actually last yr... haha... but it has really been a very bz yr... hai.. dont know when all tis **** will stop... :.( anyway, as promised, I will post some of my photos... oh yah, i alr stay in my hse le... but there will b some more changes.. mayb at the end of the yr bah... when i m free to go shop ard for the tings... heehee... Here are the Pics: http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0191.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0186.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0185.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0190.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0192.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0198.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0194.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0196.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0197.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0195.jpg Thats all...

Here's mine, Bought it from Ikea... http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0189.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/an...ng/CIMG0185.jpg

icic.... haha.... i was still narrowing down, which hse u r at... cos tat side one i think onli left 1 or 2 still not occupied... so i think my guess is rite lor... the one still have the chain one... haha... getting those u know to do for u is, they wont ask u to pay in advance, at most oso start half way then take a bit from u to buy material... otherwise they will pay first then let u know how much, when done then pay them... and 2nd, sometimes can "bargain" for more... as in u can ask them to help u drill some holes or install some other small things.. for FOC... haha... 3rd, normally they paiseh to take too much of work fee.. or in best cases, they do for free... haha... and juz take material money... BUT pls rem not to pay anymore cash w/o seeing anything done at all... cos human r hard to say... rem the recent Cartier incident?? that guy who took off with more than $7million worth of watches is someone the boss trusted alot one... so REMEMBER not to pay anymore cash when nothing is done yet... unless we r toking abt an amount of less than $1k... if anyone wans u to pay first then they start work, saying they need to buy materials first, it will b better to go with him and u do the payment with the seller, tis way, whoever is doing it for u onli OWE u labour job, and not purchasing job... its always good to b on the safe side la... unless u die die, and hardcore trust tat guy who is doing it for u... actually i oso long time nv play mj le... haha... its juz tat my sis likes to play, keep pushing mi to buy a table, so tat new year can play.. haha.... i oso not expert la... juz play... like a game... not to win a lot of money one la... relax relax play one... haha...

haha.... ya, juz a street away... the boss very friendly and helpful... as for maximum credit, i saw feedback that they a bit.......... and in one case, they delivered the display set w/o telling the consumer... so i think its a NO NO... thou they give very good price... mayb tats y its cheper?? i not sure too... kong tai is actually a family biz... from my parents time til nw, we often buy from them one... so nw u know how long they have been there... haha... from my wife, who has been staying here for abt 10 yrs , she say last time tat shop that Yi Sheng is located one used to sell things very ex one, it was until we nothing to do then go there explore then discover tat the owner has changed and nw tis boss sell one is cheaper, i mean more reasonable la... haha... anyway i bought a mahjong table from there and ordered a sofa set for my parents' place, the sea horse one... (its cheaper than if u buy from sea horse outlet!!) but will take 2wks cos the colour i wanted need some time to do... otherwise have to take the default colour, then can 1 to 2 days deliver... anyway, no hurry, as long as b4 new yr can le... haha....

hey hock!! from ur pics, i suppose u took blk 18* (same as mi) haha.... and u r #0*-63?? so tat makes us neighbours le!! haha... wah.... didnt know so many things happened on ur side since the last time we sms or called?? hmmm... so i suppose all ur works r being held up nw rite?? then how?? do let mi know if i can help u in anyway, other than monetary issues... haha... from alll the above discussion, CASE might b able to help.... but i think u got to pay them a fee first before they proceed.... but u might still wan to try, since the amount is so much greater than the fee... btw, its still a new year, so Happy New Year.... thou u r sad nw... oh yah, did u send mi a merry christmas tat day?? haha.... sorry, i bz playing mahjong... by the time i know, quite "early" le... so didnt sms u.... hehee... oh yah.... regarding ur carpentary works.... seriously, if its mi, i rather get some other ppl to do it... so tat if not nice or got any problems, i can scold tat guy.... but if its someone u know, then u can onli suck thumb... for example, thou i save on my elect works, (which is done by my wife's uncle) he dropped his hammer on my floor... then got one small hole... wat can i say?? i cant scold him wat... but if its someone else, i sure get him to replace tat whole piece of tile le!! but for ur case, its carpentary, so u really can save a lot on tat la.... for my kitchen alr spend $4+k juz for the cupboards... and 3 wardrobes for a total of more than $5k. so u can imagine la.... u can save at least one-third lor... which translate to probably $3 to 4k...

hey hock!! wah.... long time since i log in here to c c look look..... hows ur reno getting on?? move in alr?? after i move in, then getting bz wif work... not much time to log in... these few wks free, so today log in n say HI to all!! hah anyway, i managed to do up my study rm n my "play rm" recently.... and nw i m working on my dining table set.... i m customising my table, and getting the chairs separately... so got to go drive ard again.... sian... oh yah, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

Hi tom, ya, i agree wif u... the prices tat yi sheng offers r very competitive... wanted to buy a bookshelf... but yet to decide... in the end juz buy the mahjong table first... haha... nw on my list left dining chairs and tat bookshelf... mayb b free then go over n have a look.... keke.. actually there r other shops (at west side) for home ones tat r very competitive too, 1) like the lighting shops opposite chinese garden MRT (good service and wide variety) 2) electrical appliances at Jurong West called Kong Tai (but no extended warranty la...) these 2 places i recommend ones!! Nex

ok ok... i checked mine le.... its working fine... juz tat 2 days ago when i went up, it was in the afternoon, so the chill water one oso feels a bit warm... think its bcos live at high flr... the water storage tank is at the top of the flat, thus causing the "warm" in the chill water. then i went up again (oso to do cleaning) to check on the water at evening... it was cold le... so i suppose living at high flr will experience tis prob bah...

hmmm.... hock, i will b at my place tis Sat, from morning... should b 9. till afternoon... cos having some works, and a few of my furn are coming, and a few appliances... heehee... so if u wan to walk walk... juz drop by bah... my gate will open big big one... haha....

haha... everything's done for my ID side... there r still some touching up on my sides of things... eg. the design of my br doors... and others here n there... haha... but nw trying to clear up a bit... cos wife say the hse very dusty... hmmm..... i not yet tried... haha... mayb these few days bah... cos bz wif work... no time to go up... y dont u get from them the measurements?? but i think even if can, u got to change ur current door frame to the wooden type one bah... cos current ones r PVC if i m not wrong...

my hob, try le... its ok... as for my heater, i still dont know yet, cos the water pipe cannot fit (cos they change my 5L to the 8L one, so the water inlet and outlet diff by a bit), so got to wait till the water pipes r done then i can try...

erm... hock, MLR oso changing heater ar?? haha... cos my one Sat the citygas person came over to change tat 5L to the new 8L one le... so happy... the model is REU 8CG... heehee.... but i waited very long for tat man.... waited from 2pm to until 4.45pm when tat guy finally came... hai... oh yah, there was a lady who came over to my hse see see look look... but i dont know if she is from tis forum... cos she say she lives in the next blk, then got a friend living at the same blk as mi, but on the 5th flr one... when she mention the 5th flr one, i was thinking is it ah hock!! hahaha.... so hock, is it ur friend?? haha...

Hey... strange... tot u have to put the sink there for them to take the measurement then they can do the carpentary?? cos tats wat i did leh... oh yah, and the hob as well... so tat its fitting... but how come ur one is cut (the hole for the sink) first then the sink comes in?? like tat sure got prob one... or u gave ur ID the measurement tat was given to u when u purchase the sink? cos from my ID, he say tat the measurement sure not accurate one, so he ask mi to ask the seller to deliver my sink up first b4 he ask the carpenter in to do the cabinets... haha.... then the HDB might b calling u in the next few working days bah... haha... muz keep hp on hor!! haha....
