insane 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2010 btw, i dropped by MS hangrohe showroom yesterday in the midst of my work. nt really well dressed considering the showroom seems really atas! but i can't be bothered. for the love of my new house, i stormed in loose jeans, company polo shirt and waxed hair that was under construction helmet for 1 hour. but all is worth it cause sampling the water from the raindance... boy does the water feel more erm... "sexy", "tame" and ya, dunno why the word came into my mind - voluptuous! then in my mind, i was imagining how awesome my showers would be next time when suddenly a thought slammed right into my head. such lovely water on my body is definitely worth it, but then do i need such water technology on my pots and plates? so hmm... thinking if i should skip the kitchen tap from hansgrohe and get another brand instead. i saw someone selling a new hansgrohe kitchen mixer for $200 i think. mayb u wanna check it out in the garage sales thread? If i not wrong, its the one with retractable spout. retailing $500++ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ne0mesis 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) is another entire day spent all for the new house started off with the "dong tu" at the stroke of 1pm rushed down to meet ID to see final quote again at 1.45pm (YEAH, final quote seems reasonable enough!) and shopping all the way from 3pm onwards and the only damages done for the day are the taps and mixers at Home and Bathroom Building Products. and what else but Hansgrohe! Focus E2 Bath Package for common bath Additional ala carte basin and shower mixer from Focus Focus E2 for mbr and despite all the gentle warnings, we still went ahead with a Raindance E 150 3jet EcoSmart /Unica Set 0.90m. @ 150mm that means right now, i can only bank on my lower floor, newer estate and a water heater and hope for the best water pressure. this much more bulkier design definitely does not look as sharp as the other but with the triangular attachment give me another 2-3 cm away from the bar. much needed actually. dont want to feel so near to the wall. I know, I deserve it if the water pressure does not happen. but faith!!! must have faith! ha UPDATES Kitchen Mixer Edited August 18, 2010 by ne0mesis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ne0mesis 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2010 Immediately after paying up at Home & Bathroom, we made our move to lightings.com.sg @ Jln Berseh to check out some lightings. nothing that catches our eye except for some models for referencing. but wife spotted a ceiling fan that really suits the living room and kitchen overall feel. plus, a likely candidate that our id would select and use. however, @ $550 a piece, shop already commented that is more of design than performance. anyone seen this ceiling fan before? reviews much needed! Star Multimax designed by Y. Gorali Gee.. is 4 in the morning?! time to crash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It gives us time to make the necessary checks. blind faith vs substantial amount of $$$...hmmm $$ wins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
