mine is spending and spending. v stress when my Hubby pay deposit. tdy incur more damage to wallet again. brought sofa and dining table.

anyway, anyone can recommend where i can get the sink at good price? i am looking for stainless steel / chrome sink type... went to Hoe kee and Sim siang jun.. but not really ideal..want to see more before committing..any recommendation?

Hi Cindy, can check with you where u found the bamboo curtains, like to get some for the hse.

i went to get the cloth dryer and same time check on the gas heater. One of citigas staff told us that the free heater can support rain shower cos our toilet is back-to-back. If 1 person showering, should be no problem. Two or more using the water supply, pressure will drop.

He also told us that they will be launching a 8litres version of the heater, sometime in mid-2008. However this will not replace the 5litres version and users will have to purchase it.

Hi neighbours

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Just confirmed ID on Sunday. Going to Soon Bee Huat today to choose tiles. Hope everything will be smooth. Am thinking if I should change the MBR and common toilet WC and sink. Two sides of my mind 'fighting'. haha. One side says 'save money', and the other 'you are realllly reaaallly ok with a grey and peach toilet bowl and sink???? if you wanna change next time it'll be a hassle leh.'. Up till now still dunno who win.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Which ID have u chosen? me still sourcing... haiz..

Hi Skysheep,

I only sent them our payslips for the last 3 mths. How come urs are 1 yr?

Btw, I've received letter from HDB on the instructions for my keys collection.

Dorcas,

I'm a commission earner and that's why they insist I submit payslips for 12 mths. (They say can't take cpf statements for last 12 mths) I think it's illogical because my comms are calculated inside CPF already, don't understand why lor....

quite like what's on offer at v.hive. and the price is quite reasonable. u may like to check them up.

if u have not been to bellari, maybe u would like to drop by. find that their sinks not bad. also teka has quite a good selection of sinks too and surprisingly, they are not too expensive especially during their sale.

[elaine1205 0]

Well,from the bellari website,it seems that it quite classy. Duno how the pricing like. Anyway,just to check from those had called in citygas,how many working days does they need to confirm an appointment with you (that means going down to your place to fix the gas heater and pipes) as we wish to get them in on this friday.Duno can be done or not..

Hi nemofc and dneo, my ID is cottage craft. Am doing abit of like...english country style, so chose them as my ID. went to sim siang choon today to have a look at the toilet bowls and basins... really so so so tempted to change. and i think i most likely will ba.

Went to choose tiles today, and came home with 7 pieces of sample. @#(*&$#@ Hubby and I have further shortlisted 2 out of the 7 pieces. 1 of them looks abit..stonish... like... light brown, 34cm by 34cm, not super smooth but not very rough also. like the feeling of that. the other one is normal super glossy homogenous tile...abit pinkish.. 60cm by 60cm. i actually prefer the 1st one... though i really am not sure how the whole living / dining area will turn out to be, but it seems that it suits our theme more. but hubby prefers the 2nd one. hmmm.... so.. it's up to our ID to cast her vote. haha.

and i havent submitted my defects list! jialat. hubby will prob help to help submit tomorrow or the day after cos i can't take leave from work.

and check with you all, any idea how long citygas takes to come and install the heater? haven't applied for that as well. hai. think was too relaxed liao. now like..everything not done. so last minute.

I would like to recommend Aik Leong (its near to the neighbourhood too, just a few bus stops and you can drop by AV or ABC market for food, or Ikea...). Look for Mrs Koh, the prices are super negotiable. However, as they are distributors of Hitachi and Electrolux products, she will generally psycho you to purchase products from these two brands. Although I might add that she does make the offer very attractive for you to resist. The good thing is, they can deliver the goods anytime, even the next day! (I know, course I've pulled that stunt just a few weeks before.) So yay, being the lazy me, I bought all my electronic stuff there. =P They can also get for you models from other brands too, although they are not on display. =)

Yes, some neighbourhood store sells really low price compare to shopping centers.

At least can save up some cash!

[kriegs 0]

and check with you all, any idea how long citygas takes to come and install the heater? haven't applied for that as well. hai. think was too relaxed liao. now like..everything not done. so last minute.

just need to call them and give them 4 working days notice (if i rem correctly). No nid to create a new account as it link to your water and electrical (SP Services) acct.

Or you can walk down further, there's another called Hong Liang. Tink they more into AV equipments than appliances. Anyway no harm comparing the two since it so near.

they arrange the installation of water heater and the extension of gas pipe to my cooker area this coming sat.

then or the turning on gas will be at least 4 working days after my cabinet/ cooker hob and hoob is completed.
