Clueless Single's 4Rm Reno

[4ddd 18]

Very large numbers clock, suits me too!!

[koori 45]

More zabalang stuff purchased on Taobao...see the shopping addict in me? Just that I'm switching from buying clothing to household stuff now...LOL

I'm using Peeka as I'm getting smaller stuff... I guess all those experts out there would have some other forwarder to go to who are much much cheaper.

These were ordered around earlier May actually and came on a ship 22 May. They reached SG yesterday afternoon (Peeka will SMS you when it arrives in SG's warehouse in Eunos) and the parcels were delivered to my place around 10pm same day.

This item gave me a mini heart attack. Saw this rust looking stain on it...I was thinking 'Oh No! Need to play email ping-pong with Peeka already!'

Just 死马当活马医, tried to use a bit of dish-cleaning detergent...and it washed right off, easy! Must be some dirt stain and not that this thing is rusty....

So here it is on my kitchen counter :

The very cute stainless steel container I got for my salt. Looks good, but a bit small. 500g salt package cannot fit all leh....think has about capacity of 300g only as I am left with slightly less than half a pack of salt.

Very mini dustbin I got, just 7L...haven't removed the plastic cover on the lid. Came protected with styrofoam in box and a big 'fragile' word on the carton. Arrived with no dents, no scratches.The rubbish chute for my place is outside my unit. Just wanted something small to contain a single day's rubbish for throwing.

Lid or no lid, leftover food scraps left overnight smells VERY BAD by the next day....in my open concept kitchen, I can smell it from my living room. I don't think I have dog's nose leh...smellls really Ewww....

I try to throw the rubbish on the same night or next morning.

Dehub mop or misc holder. Looks very plasticky. Not sure if it really holds up as good as they advertise. Tried one, will update if it falls, or not. LOL....After locking it I did try to pull it off and it was quite firmly stuck on my tile wall, just not sure how it will hold up over time and once water hits the wall.

Washing powder container, fits about 3KG of washing powder.

Misc glass containers with stainless steel & acrylic lids. These came in a box so heavily protected with styrofoam that i was puzzled when I just opened the box....All I saw were white styrofoam.....

Hi, really like the clock you bought from TB, wondering how much does it cost including the courier fees in Sing dollars??

Thanks.

Clock itself is S$14.50. Shipping fees wise....I bought with a lot of other things like the side tables, bedsheets, etc...I didn't bother to calculate individual shipping for each item since it's all mine for use, not reselling them so dun need to do costing. LOL.

I used sea freight with Peeka and it is based on the package size in cubic centimetre.

For your reference, cubic centimetre = (Length x height x breath).

Hi. I didn't measure the exact measurements, I noticed it is challenging to move bigger framed furniture during the move-in / purchasing furniture phase.

For example, 8 ft wardrobe in my MBR, workers carrying it had to go lengthwise, then one of the workers has to back into BR2 for the other worker to move the other end to MBR then the worker has to back up with it to be able to bring the wardrobe into the room.

My wardrobe is actually 4 separate of 2 ft pieces fitted together with screws....I have zero custom capentry so I'm not sure if that will cause problems.

Not a concern to me with regards to the difficult to move furniture since I don't move furniture between rooms at all...Daily use wise, don't feel it is narrow.
