Today Wellux came to discuss on where to install the aircon. Hmm...seems like trunking hidden behind cabinet is not totally unavoidable already. But since they are Daikin's dealer, i presume good job should be done. Realised living room aircon will also be quite low as well due to false ceiling. :rolleyes:

There my Id is the malay guy with long hair discussing about where the aircon should be placed and how trunking should be done.

Went to inspect tiling works yesterday. Master bedroom toilet is ok, but common toilet is quite unsatisfactory with hollow tiles and ugly lines. Called my ID to check and retify yesterday. Today morning he's already then and asked them to remove some and redo. Not bad. Considered efficient bah.

The cut of the tiles is uneven n ugly

Tiles at common toilet. My ID said once gout is there, it will look better

Master bedroom toilet...The pipes really make it so ugly

Also took a look @ the lights yesterday. There are several lightshops opposite CHinese Garden. Dunno if its cheaper there or Balestier. But will drop by balestier on Sat to look,

LED downlights at 16W, they are quoting at $98. Normal ones of 18W x2 at $43.

Went to Save One at Lam Soon building. Their LED downlight is cheap @ $56 for 12W (square) and $68 for 15W (round). Not much choices in design though. But since its downlight, not necessary to hv too much choices bah.

Went to Ocean granite at Balestier Plaza today. The lady boss is very experienced and very willing to share. She strongly recommended black galaxy for kitchen top. Told her my mum prefer white colour which she strongly advise against and manage to convince my mum to take black galaxy. Black galaxy is non-porous and will not have stain. She mentioned that light color granite is usually quite porous and unless one has 2 kitchens, she will not advise to use white. She shared many photos of finished granite installation in the kitchen. Price is at $90/ft (exclude GST) with backsplash. Dropdown of 40mm cost additional $20/ft. There will be GST charging on top of it.

BMS Marble also charge $90/ft for black galaxy. However, BMS marbles do not have GST. BUt if you are undermounting the sink, BMS will charge additional $150 for the installation whereas Ocean granite has no other hidden cost. Hence, do some calculation and see which one is more worth it.

For me, ocean granite is more worthy in this case since i'll be undermounting my sink.

Went to Hoe Kee over the weekend. Was served by Johnny. We trust that people of he's age (70yrs) provide a more honest feedback which somehow i feel is indeed so.

Bought Roz WC @ $198 (promo price)

2 Basins @ total $383

This is for MBR toilet. Purchased at $328. Since max length i could get is 600mm. This is the only choice left with a cabinet below one. Cabinet is PVC, so reckon its durable for wet area

Kitchen sink Blanco brand @ $285. Uncle asked me to buy the Blanco stone SILGRANIT. But there is a problem. Even though that type of sink is durable, but uncle warned that its best not to undermount the sink. If crackline appears after a few years, the top would have to be removed in order to change the sink. So decided to buy stainless steel so that i can safely undermount my sink. Need not to worry about cracked line with stainless steel sink.

Got the Blanco tap for $249. But since i'm getting the set, hence, $100 off. Though $149 for a tap, i find it ex. but since its made in Germany, i reckon it should be quite worth it.

Got the Fujiroh hob. Was receptive abt glass type since our house one exploded twice. But uncle told me this is lifetime warranty and its hardened glass, not tempered glass. Was attracted to the word "lifetime warranty". So if it breaks, i could have it changed for free. :sport-smiley-004:

img0910wr.jpg

Initally we do not want the hood, but uncle pester us to buy and told me its a good buy. Whole set with hood and hob cost $780. Hood is made in Japan and not that difficult to wash. I leave the decision to my mum cos' she's the one that is reluctant to have one for fear of the washing. Think i can sign up for their customer care program where they come and wash 4 times in a year. Sigh....its really true that when you have more things, you have more problems.

Hi Szehui, which Hoo Kee outlet you went? I went to Jln Besar, the sales person attitude was no good.

Went to their main showroom @ Genting Lane. Also Johnny said only at Genting Lane one, they can give you additional discount.
