froggy 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 This evening, decided to explore more of the neighbourhood. Remember my hubby asked about the bridge at Thamgam station? Decided to check it out - so took a leisurely stroll to Jalan Kaya, via the bridge. Quite a pleasant experience - good weather, short walk, some long forgotten contact with nature - the breeze brought lots of angsana pods to the air - and a yummy dinner at Mad Jack! Love it!

A leisurely stroll will do her good, and the evening air there isn't too bad too. Actually, minus the few days when we had the haze, I find the air at FV quite good, esp since we have quite a bit of yet-to-develop areas and parks around. The mornings are quite chilly too, like countryside living must grab the opportunity to start jogging before more flats conquer the area! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggy 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 Anyone knows if the dish rack mounted by the carpenter can be removed? How? We were trying to look for screws etc but found nothing. Wonder if the 2 pieces are held together by the 2 planks on wood on the side? or can they be independently removed without damaging the cabinets/shelves at the sides?

However i find this dish rack is not very gd cos it rusts easily, gotta clean and maintain it frequently. Still prefer those disk rack from song cho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also find some dark spots on the underside of the rack. But my reason for wanting it down is bc it's too high for me - can't use so white elephant. So thought of removing them and replacing with 2 wooden planks as shelves. And plan to go song cho to get the table top dish drainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Song cho products are still the best, no regrets getting them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Song cho products are still the best, no regrets getting them. we also requested for it to be lower, but still too high. I think I shorter than yr wife right? Believe it or not, if I have to stand at the stove for a longer stretch, I need to get a stool too! Just went to get a table top dish rack. Was at Song Cho, but their table top one is so small (only 35cm length), so no choice got to settle for the brandless one. Nvm, this one is standalone, if really rust, can still discard and get new one. Edmund ah? I think he is too busy to have time for our things already -- sian What about you? Are you planning to do anything about the rack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flamedav 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 the "pink" stains, forgot to ask about this strip. Mine is showing spots, want to save the situation before it worsens. any ideas how or what to use? Yea me too. Just notice it few days ago. Hmm havent gotten a good solution to overcome it yet. It's a water prone area. It's going to be difficult. Cover it with silicon gel??? me too! my wife kept reminding me to clean it, mayb with thinner but haven try it yet. Another thing, does ur place have "xiao qiang" ah? i know will have but i've killed 3 small ones in 2 days. n my hse got no fd except in the fridge, wonder where they all came from.. Me too. Mine looks like garden crockroach. Slightly different from those unsightly ones we usually see at home. Most likely they came it from outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
