Sze Hui 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2012 Found that the tiles are not well-cut.Contractor said this is becos' its ceramic tiles. Sigh...seems like can't do much things with it already. Dear all, if you want nicely cut tiles, dun use ceramic. Opt for Homogeneous instead. But of cos' kitchen wall which normally has a glossy surface are usually ceramic tiles.

Sze Hui 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Went to Design Light @ Jalan Besar Plaza yesterday for lightings. Its recommended by a frend whose cousin is running the store.Staffs are rather knowledgeable and friendly.Wanted to buy LED lights in the 1st place. Found cheapest at Save One. In the end, i opted Panasonic Eco-light instead. 19W = 100W. Moreover, its easier to maintain since only need to change light bulb. Also cost is cheaper @ $28. (Was given discount to $25). If needed, i can choose to use a lower wattage bulb. So reckon its still cost saving and energy saving in this way. Bought 12 of thisOriginally wanted to buy this birdcage light for my room. But decided against it since only 3 bulbs which may not b bright enough.I chose a bigger birdcage with crystals below. Didn 't manage to take photo the other day. Will do it once its up.

Takeyu 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2012 Had mentioned that i wanna share the view @ my front. This was wat make our eyes pasted with stamp. It was unblock and we had a clear view of the lake. However, far ahead we can see 3 chimneys from Jurong Island as well...Fengshui master said not very good for our eyes. Reckon that the good view will not last long. The land beside the stadium maybe sold to Pvt Developer one day to build condo n block all the views.... Nice view! Can see the stadium too.. If you are a S-League fan, u can catch Alibrex Nigata there playing. Lots of japs would be there too.Hmm that piece of land has been vacant for a pretty long time, but like u said, possibility of selling it to pvt developer to build condo is quite high since the Canadian sch has set base at the oppo side of the canal.... but oh well, we got limited land in SG.

No one offer advice, except a woman keeps following behind our back when we were looking at lights. She didn't bother to say Hi. Though they have many lights, but they should at least say something, rather than keep following behind us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really **** uncomfortable... it makes me want to leave the shop immediately. It's like their lights are so small that we can eaily steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like their lights are so small that we can eaily steal. There's one light shop in Balestier, at ground floor, a building by itself. The sales girl is worse. When we went in, she said: "What do you want?" Of course to look for lights. Duhz.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually she's quite knowledgeable and provides earnest reply in my opinion. I guess you just have to ask her questions bah. I was served by her actually. But i waited quite a long while cos' they have many customers. I think some of these customers are also their long time customers looking at the way they talk.

Price excludes window, aircon and living/bedroom floor. U guys think its ex? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
