Hi all,
yah all lighting shops sales person said different things. Think business in that Balestier Road area is very competitive, so many shops selling lights. In the end, I purchase from the shop my ID recommended i.e. Singapore Lighting Mart. The price may be slightly more expensive but still reasonable. I find the sales person honest in his dealing and there are quite a variety of lightings to choose from. Hopefully everything goes on well when the lights are delivered
Hi Pauline, etnt & My_gal,
it's really a pleasure meeting you guys. My hubby is surprised that we know each other from the forum. Ha ha... we must really have a potluck session after all of us move in
My_gal & Pauline,
thank you for the list. I will check my email later
Mosaic_fish,
have u called Kelvin recommended by etnt regarding the curtain or roller blinds quotation? I find him an honest guy
Who did u talk to at Hong Ming? That time I spoke to Heng.
Piper,
if you are very particular about the quality of general lights (I assume you meant the ceiling lights), do ask properly. I heard that there are different types of bulbs and covers. Some covers may turn yellow or discolour over time and some bulbs are the energy saving types, some not and not bright enough. Usually for ceiling lights for bedrooms, the better quality ones are above $50, so I think the $50 that ur ID gave u is just an estimate as light in the bomb shelter can cost lesser than that if you choose the lower quality type (can actually get at $20+). Do do your homework before u purchase, when the sales person knows u do ur homework, he dare not anyhow quote, usually will try to give u good discount to clinch your deal

brambles, guess the meetup was an impromptu thing.
We were there pretty early at 11, but din see anybody ard so went over to the mall and shop. On coming back, met daisy at the lift lobby, then from then on went to daisy's unit, then to pauline's where we met my_gal, then went over to my_gal's, then back to our unit, and finally to daisy's unit.
Interesting to see each other's layout and ideas.

yah... i find it v yucky too but my hubby thinks it's acceptable. perhaps i'm too used to the 'flawless' looking walls. hence then all the trunkings go up, it just seems so out of place
i'll get my contractor to hide it, so am asking around to see how other ids are doing it
btw, can we exchange numbers? perhaps can pm me?

okie. false beam... mine dun hv aircon in living room, oni the 3 rms. and till now, i still find it v unsightly. my contractor proposing to hide it by putting board over it. i can only imagine how it's gonna look till it's done... so am worried how it will eventually turn out. has anyone else done the same to conceal the trunkings?
my gal... will be sending u email

elaine77,
actually the one that etnt recommended is cheaper than Hong Ming, so most probably I myself will contact Kevin to do mine too. It'll be better if u contact him via hp as he may not be at the shop all the time. I'm not sure abt the quality but he seems honest in his recommendation of roller blinds and does explain clearly too. Do u have his hp no? If not, I can send to u
Brambles,
I also haven't met up with u, as well as Tweetie & elaine77. Hopefully, we can meet soon
Most of my air con trunking will be hidden. However the drainage pipe in my master toilet is the one that bothers me a lot. Think my ID will build a cabinet beneath my vanity top to make it less obvious

daisy, kevin actually brought down the roller blind samples and materials for the blinds and curtains to let us choose when he was taking the actual measurements.
But since you dun need the measurements taking, you should be able to opt to choose the materials at his shops which should have a wider selection.

Hi Elaine,
Hong Ming has a few branches in Singapore. I went to AMK branch last Fri evening with Mosaic_fish. The man who quoted us is Mr Hong.

etnt,
yah, I also thought of going down to his shop when I'm ready to have the roller blinds made unless I'm too lazy then
Pauline,
so was it Mr Hong Ming himself who attended to you and Mosaic_fish? Hee hee, the one who attended to me and hubby was Heng
I'm thinking of getting a microwave cum baking oven. There is such oven nowadays is it? I thought of getting the Sharps one. I know this type of oven may not function as well but think of getting a simple one to get started first

Daisy, yes it was him who quoted us. It is over my budget even after the discounts. Going to ask for more quotations at a later stage.
From what I know, there is this type of oven in the market. Should be able to find a few models of such oven.

Hello all
Haven't have chance to meet any one of you yet. Hee..can't wait to meet up
Anyway, we went to Sungei Kadut last Sat to choose marble top (Star Furniture). After that, we went to the nearby stores. Manage to get good deals for book cabinets, wardrobe (for guest room), side tables. The book cabinet is a good catch, besides the price is really attractive, the quality is good too. The sales manager todl us they are 1 of the 5 importers in Singapore. So maybe that explains the price is cheaper than bought at other places (we think).
Anyone going down tonight, say around 7.30PM?

hi daisy, pauline and etnt... thanks. just that it's quite 'traumatic' (hehe) to see the trunkings running all over the place. we actually have 2 trunkings, 1 for gas... so it's double the unsight-liness. haha...
almost contemplated taking half day leave and go down wif my contractor to discuss how best to hide it. hehe... ok lah. maybe it's not that bad after the painting works. they're doing the painting now. hope it will look less obvious after that

oic... etnt, i recall seeing that. actually, if it's installed in a more 'secluded' area in the kitchen, it's not that bad. like my friend (also staying in sengkang) had that in her kitchen too but it was in one corner, so it's really hardly noticeable unless u walk to that corner
mine is two indiv heaters in the toilet itself. yet to install. hope won't be unsightly too...

etnt,
that seems to be a good one. I saw Sharp R888F but not sure whether it can be used for baking. Did u compare the price with Hong Liang or Sweetson?
Pauline,
yah, it's good to do more comparison. I'll have to source for the right oven to get started hee hee
Orith,
my ID also suggested Star Furniture at Sungei Kadut but I didn't go. Managed to find a table I like in the East. Did u see any glass table top with metal legs? Think Snowman was looking for such table
Brambles,
I remember the trunking man box up the pipes. If you are around this weekend, may be we can show u ours but we don't have ur contact yet. Have u updated My_gal? We can call u when we are there then
Trekker,
you mean we can cover up the gas heater?

So nice tat some of u meet up and visited each other hse. Hope can meet u all this coming sat.
Daisy, yup the guy tat quote Pauline and me is Joseph Hong.. he recommended us to take up a roller blind from korea. I ask him the brand name.. He said this one no brand name.. just call roller blind and I request to see the mechanism.. he dun have a sample in his shop for this korea brand. I tink Hong Ming is good if we do curtains with them.. but for roller blinds I dun really trust wat he said..
I haven't tok to kevin yet. Now HDB just completed my cement screeding.. Got to settle other design and stuffs with my contractor first so tat he can continue..

hi daisy,
i've actually got my id contractor to do up a cabinet to hide e whole heater & e ugly copper pipings w some opening at e top for e heater to breath..haha..now u see it, now u dont..
