5-Room 125sqm

EA - 146sqm

These are the 2 units which i am considering.

I hope to have a HT room. But i am not that good with sound engineering. Any ideas here from the sound senseis will be greatly appreciated.

After Much discussion, I have made my choice and bought a flat. I will begin my renovations in Mid-August. I am in the midst of getting IDs. I was wonder whether anyone had installed a water filtration system for the kitchen pipes for drinking water. Any recommendations. I would rather have one that its done all internally and when i open my tap, i get the filtered water. Appreciate all help.

My New 5 Room Flat.. I have many ideas but not sure whether they are feasible.

Very nice floorplan. Interesting to see what the design outcome will be. anyways i believe i do see filtration systems that are mounted below the sink, so not visible as compared to those mounted directly to the tap. however i believe its one system per outlet, so if u have 3 taps, u gonna need 3 filters.

Wow if that's the case, i will make do with one and that will be the kitchen since its used for drinking and cooking. Any recommended brands?

Anyone tried the Tami systemtenik water filters? its about $1000++. Is it good?

I had one main filter system that filter water from the main then distribute to the house.

i stopped using it after a month. Why ? because the filter reduces the water pressure in the house a lot.

That is something i have to avoid. But i only need filtered water in the kitchen so just one point for me will do.

You can check Hyflux out or there is this shop in Ubi, beside Tilam King (they sell Ion water filter system and its a standalone tap)

I will check that out. Thanks for the information. This weekend is gonna be very busy.

Any big difference in utilities bills from change from normal gas stove to the modern electrical kind. I am thinking of the electrical one as it would look more sleek and easier to clean but am unsure whether is gas cheaper then electricity.

Gas is definitely cheaper than electricity
