koori 45 Report post Posted April 4, 2014 Wah....so power...... but me Taobao newbie..... want to buy also....... Somebody please show me in practical how to do it, lol I didnt do much also leh, Kitchen and common toilet mostly untouch. Broke liao. lol Mine reno is in phases.Wah $220 still not consider ex arr? Aiya, I also want to be fast, but progress very slow till I talk to ID "Nicely". lol If it's good material, $220 for king size + quilt cover is worth it. I saw some $400++ atas ones at Metro also. My 'elephant' skin dunno how to differentiate how good it is though. Haha...My sister said she bought one set dunno what bamboo cotton about $300 for queen size + quilt, she's been raving about how silky it is....Thread count isn't everything though. Check what material it is. Higher threadcount doesn't always mean better sheets. Ya...only came to knw matttess and bedsheet can be so expensive only recently.... for my whole life, I'm using pasar malam super single matterss and bedsheet. lol aiyo. Like me. Then you get those cheaper ranges from Metro or OG will also be an upgrade liao. hahhahah....work our way slowly up.LOL .... do u knw nowadays bedsheets are very expensive .... i was quite shock when i first started browsing for bedsheets ... $220 may sound very pricey ... but if u compare a normal decent King size bedsheet alone alr ~$100 (u can go down to as low as $50 for very rough material and $30? for pasar malam style) Vct's one is tencel + it comes with a quilt cover .... haha tt's wad i think ...

Most of my reno/furniture i really squeeze untill tight tight budget but mattress and bedsheet i confirm will splurge one. After a hard day at work imagine going home sleeping on rough rough bedsheet shiok meh? (But this is my personnel opinion lah) Also, end of the day only you or your partner will get to sleep on your bed not your guest or friends right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahhboi 15 Report post Posted April 4, 2014 True lah, I already pampered myself with a $999 matress liao.... But still.... got a heart attack when I see bedsheet also cost so much. lol Anyway, which ever I buy will consider upgrade liao from pasar malam. lol Please share here if there's any SALE around lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koori 45 Report post Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Wah....so power...... but me Taobao newbie..... want to buy also....... Somebody please show me in practical how to do it, lol I used the more 'atas' Peeka. Haha....heard the rates is more expensive, but their system is very easy to use, dunnid to call up anyone de. dunnid tutorial also. You go their site register account then you know how to use liao...Think not cost efficient if you buying big bulky stuff though coz their 1 cubic meter I think is S$250 charge (sea freight). I have only gotten small stuff, didn't hit anywhere near 1 cbm.and hor....taobao also has bedsheets....whahhaha....Tencel is '天丝' . Beware there is different types for the mattress cover. Fitted sheet (elastic all around the mattress cover or at 4 corners= 床笠), flat sheet (one flat piece of cloth) = 床单.Another thing to note is China don't have bolster covers in their sets.

lala81 3 Report post Posted April 4, 2014 For those doing structure network cable hor. Does the ending points near the TP is without wall socket? My electrician says its so that I can plug the cables straight into the router. I would prefer wall socket as it looks nicer. but it will means I have to buy cat 6 wires to connect from the Wall socket to the router.Which option is actually better? My ID also did it like this. I didn't like it actually. But already it was created inside my tv console so i LL accepted it. Made the mistake of not being explicit clear on what i wanted.

Mine is exposed de so I ask them to do the wall socket.Btw, anyone know how where to buy cheap short/long data cables between these wall socket to my router/computer bo?

Just tell the aunite the length of data cable you require then she will do it on the spot. Not very ex in my opinion, ready made ones also have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
