Extreme Makeover @ Pandan Gardens

[mae29 2]

A sales person told me that inductionand gas cooking about the same. Only it takes a little longer for induction to heat up. Also the running cost for electricity for induction is very high.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Agreed! Other than higher electric cost, it is wiser to use induction cooker if your stove is located near windy window openings.

Hi, XTR

Nice to see you here again!

If I have another choice, I probably choose induction hob but portable type, so to save the counter top with more working space. Our sister Marshy can share her experience with you.

Sister Marshy

Your potable hob is very easy to use right?

hihi, right i think i will follow JC recommendation that electricity might be costly.

Hi XTR, induction heats up VERY fast. so fast that the first time i used induction hob, i got a real shock... gas hob will never be like that.

but, but, if you have piped gas, i'll suggest you to stick with gas hob cos electricity is really costly my side didn't have city gas and we dun like LNG tanks, so we opted for induction~

but induction hob is really easy to clean... and easy to use too~ safer cos no burning fire etc... so still no regret getting it

Thank you for sharing your experience using the induction hob. I should have considered this method as I hardly cook at home. The thing I don't like now is the ring of burners get rusty easily. I also feel hard pain seeing them cutting out a big hole on the solid surface top!!

Lesson learnt: if hardly cook, opt for potable induction hob!

Now I am confined at home since this morning.

I finally have time for the plasterer guy to come to rectify the wall which saw bubbling plastering since last month.

At the same time, I whatsapp my ID Donny if I can get the plasterer guy to coat a layer over the beam where the Aircon trunking sits underneath which had silicon joint, causing obvious dual tone painting. He told me ok, and within the next minute, called me up & asked to speak to the plasterer guy.

Very sweet of him to bother to entertain me till this moment when he had already left the ID firm.

Sisters here,

It looks like my good ID has now become our family good friend!

Last Thursday I was very frustrated with my upstairs Neighbour because of their chokage water pipe which burst & dirtied my mini garden area. They called their plumber but they told me nothing needs to be done on my side of the pipe, as they claimed they have cleared the chokage on the pipes upstairs already. When I heard my son told me, I immediately rushed home to settle with their plumber to seal up the air pipe at my side. My ID is aware of this problem too, and he is ready to call his contractor if my upstairs Neighbour has been difficult.

Further, it was my late ex-hubby's second death anniversary. As my ID was visiting Bro Sunny's place which is nearby, so when my ID called to check with me the pipe issued, he volunteered to fetch me & my children to pay our respect to the children's late father. My ID even waited for us to finish our praying session & he sent us home.

Thereafter, as ID is going over to Bro Sunny's place again to inspect the glass backsplash installation, I followed him there as I need him to fetch me to meet his friend for house audit.

So, my ID is truly a very nice guy! . Not only my house he takes good care, he extended the same level of his commitment at Bro Sunny's house too!!

Will share if Donny shares the same commitment to my project too. So far so good, we are satisfied!

Bro, Kobe

I can ask my ID Donny to be the driver for our next RT gathering I cannot find rich Ah Pek yet. So, for now, he is our driver

My ID always tried to 'siem' whenever he saw me holding my camera during the reno period. So, cant find same pose of Donnie Yen's picture. The closest match I can find is this picture.

Hmmmm....Do you think they look alike? Bro Kobe, I think you look better lah!

Now, my 'Ah Pek' list is still empty!!
