your toilet wall tiles got the floral motiff one right?? I wanted that lor.. for my common toilets... uncle don't want..

We bought the same hood and hob!

"Cannotisit" is your baron a squarish one? I initially wanted that but when I sit on it to try I realise the seat is very narrow and uncomfortable... somemore I can be considered small built. Did you sit on it to try??

****, forgot to sit on it to test cos we were in a rush that day. maybe will go back this weekend to test. thks for the tip.

thanks! i think so too. initially uncle wanted bronze but i insisted on white. thank goodness i insisted.

so confusing! u call him uncle too! he doesnt like the motif is it? oh i did not buy oven, out of budget. think i will just get a portable one. i saw a baby belling going for $200+ at mustafa. so maybe when i am more settled down i can consider that.

and i think my toilet bowl seems quite small now that you've said it!!!

cannotisit

i cant, i paid for the deposit at courts! at most i can perhaps switch a model but i cant cancel my purchase. anyway, i have a good list of shops for buying electrical at a lower price since they are neighbourhood stores, lower overhead than courts hence better cash price to buy.

My parents dun like the floral motif on the tiles lor. So I get rejected. Even wallpaper also cannot choose that kind. *sob*

oh i see. i spoke to jason on thurs night. this time in case he comes late or sthing, i went shopping first with my friend at bugis village and only left when my mom called to say he reached.

the floral motif wallpaper not cheap u know pet!! and i am worried it might just go out of style. jason suggested that i take wood grain laminate so i agreed.

Alright, to continue on from the hood and hob, we got our sink and tap from the Franke package

Our little squarish basin

The tap for the basin

Rain Shower! (Now thinking if its an unnecessary luxury....)

and yup, the overall theme for all fittings is square!! hence everything must be square for consistency.

i also like everything square square but too bad the Baron bowl was comfy... so i changed to a more rounded one and also other than my MBR basin which is round every other thing is squarish

yup from Asia Excel IMM branch. I suggest you go back, then ask to try out the bowl. Sit on it and try. Initially I didn't sit on it then Fannie and family cue us and when I sat on it I found it really uncomfy. I guess after u try and you dun feel comfy it can still be changed.

ehh thought urs is baron...

I dun agree on the standard size thingy... standard size for the outlet in let maybe.. but the seat wise there is definitely difference cos we personally sat on it. The moment hubby sit on the Baron one, he jump up and complain he can't even fit on the seat. That is when I hop on and realise that ehhh I also dun feel comfy... I believe it is probably the seat cover that matters.
