El Nino_Al Nito 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2010 Hi buddy, The 42pfl9664 LCD is still in your shopping list hah…Great! but if u are considering something bigger and having more budget, someone is selling the 52fl9664 LED. Check out the buy/sell forum. The spec is the same or better and it is a backlit LED TV… I don’t think Philips discon the model just that local dealer is not bringing it in as the price is costly. Philips come out with the 42pfl8404H because they want to capture the LED market to compete with Samsung and other brands… I think 42pfl8404H is a good buy for a LED model but function wise 42pfl9664 still more outstanding… Ya…maybe can wait for IT show next week; hopefully they will clear stock of 42pfl9664 or aim for the display set. But advisable to go on the first day if u are really keen. Cheers... Thanks for the tip off. But 52 inch TV kinda huge for my viewing distance of ard 3.5m... the 42pfl8404H at $1799 (courts) is already better priced compared to the 42pfl9664. the sales person questioned and showed me whether if there really is a need for one to have anything above 100Hz display. yeah, hopefully i'd get lucky and grab one 42pfl9664 next week!

El Nino_Al Nito 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2010 Tile Selection Went to hafary last weekend to view and shortlist tiles with Mr Yeak. Was served by Joey. Spent about one and a half hours there and we more or less have decided what we wanted. Only decided to change the MBR toilet tile on last Tuesday after realising it lacks cosiness that we intended for. After another 15mins, made up our minds. Hope our selection wont be low on stocks otherwise have to make a trip down again. So...1hr 45mins for tile selection. Fast anot ah? Lol..think its because we have decided on the colours and theme for each room since October. So our tile selection trip was only to find tiles with best matched textures / patterns. Will post the tiles for each room as we go along... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Nino_Al Nito 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Common Toilet Tiles Basically going for a black white or grey white colour tone. Since the common toilet was narrow, its ideal we chose a brighter colour to enlarge the look. But i dun quite like an all white or too bright of a colour hence added in some black or grey to the look. During the selection, felt that the blacks looked nicer than the greys. So decided on those. Next was the texture or pattern on the tiles. All along had liked the golf balls or manhattan squares type of patterns but after viewing the house Mr Yeak currently doing, we decided on croc tiles. Yeah baby! Im gonna become Crocodile Dundee when i get in that toilet.. However, we didnt quite like the overly masculine look in the common toilet that Mr Yeak did. Hence to tone it down, Joey recommended some mosaic after i proposed it to her. Couldnt quite decide which one to get but agree with Joey and my wife that these two mosaics we shorlisted would go well with the black and white. Oh, the floor will be matt textured black too. Choice A - With bright orangy toned mosaic Choice B - With shimmering and sparkling pink toned mosaic Choice of Mosaic - Voting lines are open folks! Pinkish or Orangy? *Think the texture on the tiles cant be clearly seen in the pics unless u scrutinise deep deep.

No ah...its black floor with black croc tile top and bottom and white croc tile in the middle with choice mosaic interlacing the croc tiles...no greys there. 3 colour tones is enough wor... paiseh, its the shadow effect on Google Sketch that made the surrounding wall looked out of colour. hah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
