Parts of bkk are already flooded. Parts of the old capital just 80 km away is under 3m of water.

It's about 25-28 cubic metres. I totally have no clue how big that is, but it does sound pretty freaking big.

Can probably fit my whole house furniture (and probably yours) into it, so it does make a lot of sense to share and ship in.

Only problem is the quality and reliability of not just the furniture, but the logistics also.....

Yup, Suan lum has closed already... How big is your container for 2k??

From what I heard, central BKK looks ok. Hope Yingluck can build enough dams and canals and sandbags to keep the flood water from ruining my trip :P

Sorry if I trivialized what's going on there. I would like to postpone, but I can't since I bought the Bangkok travel coupons from deal.com.sg

Just cross my fingers and hope everything turns out ok la.

Hi sleek, I didn't end up getting this toto one from adamas. I bought the gaia one to make an long, deep undermounted sink. I bought it from Sim Siang Choon. Was about $340+ or something

thanks timothy! is this the same one? http://www.scarabeoceramica.com/wash-basins/giove-gaia/lavabo-gaia-80.html, if so this is super long but quite shallow as compared to the toto?

hi sleek, yes this is the same one. don't know why but it looks shallower in the picture on the website.

In real life the depth looks ok. The Toto one looks deeper cos it's undermounted.

If I mount the Gaia basin under a counter top I think it might look deeper or as deep as the Toto one.

Hope this helps :)

By the way, I will be having to get a smaller ceiling fan due to the projector being installed in the living room ceiling.

Does anyone know where in Singapore I can get something like this, and if it's allowed by the HDB / PUB?

I know the model is called the Minka Aire Gyrette, but any other fan that looks alike can be considered.

Can I check who r u engaging in Singapore to help u on the import custom clearance? And if few of us wanna share the shipping with u, required time of the furniture might be different so might need to get a warehouse? And also the transport cost to our house?

And can I also ask SGD 2k for logistics what does it include? Only the ocean freight for the 1X20 footer container or is an all in cost which includes the export cost in bkk and all importing cost in spore? Cos SGD2k for just the ocean freight alone seems kind of ex actually..

Paiseh I say so much just wanna find out more.

I know Defelio has this or something v similar in his living room, so should not be an issue. You can check out his t-blog for more info. He bought his fan at XTRA.
