Balloting Exercise July - Jurong West


its at this row of shops opp chinese garden mrt.. its the lighting shop closest to the corner of the building... wif fans outside the shop...
 
these few days i seemed to like things that are going to be discontinued or phased out. First, went to All Best and saw this Panasonic Inverter Fridge which looks quite nice then i was told by Panasonic that it had been discontinued and have no information on the new replacement. The next day, i was looking out for my bedroom TV and thought about buying this Samsung 26" LCD TV and again, when i checked with Samsung i was told that the model 26R71BAX had been phased out and will be replaced by 26A something... it is not available in retailers yet.

So sway?
 
Guys,

Cheapest LCD and Tv is at katong warehouse. Cheapest deal!

Btw, can i check with you all, what do you al think about turbo brand cooker and hook?
Ok?

Li
 
how much is the cheapest LCD? Brands got R8 samsung lcd tv?

Can u advise where is the exact location of the katong warehouse?
 
Ya, tell us where it is.

My parents place had been using TURBO for many years... no problem at all.. i supposed it is still not so bad. For me, i bought Teka.
 
Hi jess

It’s fine to drill the toilet walls, DIY a few myself
Just need to noe that the concealed water pipes run vertically downwards from the tap
Mixer
U will hit a metal plate when u drill the wall, it’s alright
Then need to change ur drill bit into a screw-driver bit tat can screw a SELF-TAPERED screw into the metal plate, that will hold. No need to use nail/screw anchors
 
how come no one talking about plasma tv? ha ha

that time panasonic got very good promo at the it show... a 42" plasma tv only $1200 or $1300.
 
got this franke brand
but slightly on the high end.

comes with those modular set of chopping board, drainer etc etc which i think quite nice.

We bought a imitation version of it ard $200+
 
Hi,

It at katong mall, it a warehouse shop known as mega discounXXXX and my parents bought the tv from them before and have been using it since many years, so no prob. The saleperson is known as vinson.Not bad guy. I bought hitachi plasma and it made in Japan!!!
 
SY Chen,

I think i saw that one @ Asia Excel, i think the original is $429, if you required the chopping board etc is another addition $60 or so.
 
ryan, we saw at Asia Excel.

To us, sinks are just sink. No need so high end. Sin Siang Choon can get $100+ but i think the thickness of the sink not as good as the other brands - heard from the salesperson from Asia Exel. Better check again.

we got from Asia Exel becoz the rest of the stuff from them, so might as well get the sink as well.
 
Anyone here using a gas instant heater? i am using one and i find it very very good. As good as the hotel.. i got it free when i was applying for citygas. but apparently since ours is a premium flat, we cant knock it into the toilet wall.. as we do not know where are the water and electrical pipes as it is concealed. just be careful about knocking anything into the toilet wall.
 
SY Chen,

Yes i agree with you. Initially i thought of buying that but i am kind of worried about overspending... so i will buy something cheaper in the range of $200+ ... will travel to royal franco this weekend and maybe will get there.

Am using the citygas FOC gas instant water heater
Is battery ignited, so no need to locate any electrical wires
As for water pipes, u can look at ur kitchen toilet, top corner just behind the wooden wall
There are 2 water pts (1 is hot water pt, the other cold water pt) connected by a protruding pipe
need to drill through that kitchen wall n connect ur heater to the 2 pts
ur plumber should noe this
 
Ryan
One of the more reasonable prices in Royal fanco
Got my sink, basin, sink & basin taps over there
I’d say, very much cheaper than the prices I saw @ Sim siang XXX and other more recognisable shops
Got my 2 bowl-sink @ below-200bucks
800mm in length to fit nicely on my L-shape kitchen top
 
Lala
Saw some local online websites that sell designers’ wall n table clocks
As they do w/o a shop n rental, very competitive prices, n they deliver to ur home within 24hrs with no surcharge
Of coruse, u cant get to c it n touch it b4 buying
Seems to lose their website addresses
Can consider this option if u r an avid online shopper
 
There are 2 mega discount outlets
1 in katong mall, 1 in novena (united square)
got a package from them to buy my 400L LGfridge, 40†Samsung r-series LCD & 7kg Electrolux washing machine @ $3000+ only
was able to negotiate with their boss, joel, to lower the package price
 
Hey, Today HDB launched our area again.

I went to compare the price ... my neighbour unit is not taken up that time... it was $236,800 previously... today HDB launched the unit again for $272,800.

An increase of almost 40K !!!
 
Kevin,

Yea, that's what i read in the forums commenting Royal Franco. I almost bought it at Asia Excel but think it's worth a look there. I didn't like the length of the basin be too wide either, to have more table top space... probably looking at 800mm or lower.

I got a 7kg Electrolux front load washer for $929 at harvey norman. It was EWF1084, probably a little bit too ex but then it's bought already, so no point thinking over it. Nowadays a 40" Samsung R series is around $1699 so i think you got a good deal for $3000+.
 
Huiling,

I have a problem with instant heater. I always forgot to switch off the heater when i finished my shower. That is a wasteful of energy bill... hee

I hope by switching to storage heater, i will remmeber to switch it off before my shower. Ha ha
 
Ryan
Well, considering that I bought them 2mths back, not bad a deal, elsewhere would make me 4000+bucks poorer
got my ewf1084 @ 800+, heehee
 
1 amazing feature abt the citygas gas water heater is that it’ll detect water flow in ur hot water pipe when u turn to right with ur tap mixer
sensing the water flow in the hot water pipe, the battery will ignite the gas water heater to start burning
so once u off the tap, the heater immediately stop provide hot water
so this will solve the problem of forgetting abt switchin off instant heater ïŠ
 
And to add to tat gas instant water heater
It runs on gas (and battery to ignite the heater), so definitely lighten ur electrical bill
Got a gas-driven clothes dryer too
Conscious of rising electricity tariffs
 
Quite absurd to increase that property prices so fast in so short a time
The same vacant units on my floor increased abt 20-30k
 
good news for exisiting flat owners but bad news for new owners to be.

i think with the upgrading of jurong estate as a whole, with so much shopping centre and recreation spot, Jurong not as ulu as previous lliao
 
anywhere i can buy a TV-console that is less than 45 in depth?

After placing the king size bed, my walking space till the wardrobe is quite limited. I don't intend to mount the TV on the wardrobe.

So have to get a TV console that is not that wide in depth. So far, the standard 1 i saw is ard 45 to 50. A shoe cabinet depth will be ideal but it is kinda weird to use a shoe cabinet as tv console.
 
SY Chen,

Yesterday i went up to Joanne place and she told me your staying above her. Didn't know which unit you in so didn't attempt to go up and see. Quite an interesting evening cos i also went up to Valerie place and see her lightings..quite nice..

Kevin,

think we will get new visitors to this forum and i think they will bang their heads on the wall knowing how much it was before.. if we go down this weekend surely a lot of people one because the new balloting ends next wednesday so they only have this weekend.
 
Kevin,

I bought my EWF1084 for $929 but with $100 Choice voucher.. dont' tell me you also have it with your $800+ purchase or i think i can bang the wall myself hee hee
 
ryan, we are just directly above her. Usually evening we will be there but not so early - ard 9 - 10pm. Just to drop by to see how the progress so far.

if u see the padlock not up, means we are in.
 
wah you so hardworking.. everyday also go back there eh.. heh

i will be going on saturday.. i will see if you are in
happy.gif
 
Ryan, u better find ursf a softer wall liao
I got it at 800+ with no voucher
But it’s becos I have the package deal (With fridge and tv) that I was able to negotiate for such low price
 
Since our forum is titled as july balloting, the newbies may not be directed here
Instead they may set up new similar forum elsewhere titled JW april balloting
haha
 
Kevin (spotkev)

my contractor and plumber did not dare drill hole into the toilet.. they use a metal detector and than They say if drill than knock the pipe, they will not be responsible. So in the end we install a electric instant heater into the toilet and we use the gas heater for our kitchen. haiz
 
haha, should check with me mah
No pt using the metal detector cos the entire prefabricated toilet is covered (at the walls) with metal sheet
