LADY_R 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Maybe he thinks 6kg is sufficient for now... but somehow, i think next time, if got kids, prob will need bigger ones... and maybe by then, it's time to upgrade the washing machine? hmmm... i only wanted a 8 - 8.5kg... somehow, we got a 9.5kg... coz the salesperson recommended... oh well... Whoa 9.5kg!!! u sure or not? what are the things that u want to wash?.. 7kg shud be enough to wash a king size comforter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soichiro 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Now still have some issues to iron out: 1) Internal area to hang clothes (when it rains) Ceiling not enough space in kitchen >.< 2) Fabric vs Leather Sofa? We don't like patterns on the sofa, but might opt for fabric coz scared that leather seats trap heat, is that true? 3) TV Wondering... if I don't have Starhub nor Singtel TV... can I still use Starhub cable socket to get digital channel 5, channel 8, etc? 4) Curtains The aircon guys installed the trunking too low, right above the window grilles. Only realized after everything done, too late to change. Are there any particular curtains that require minimal space to install, except for stick-ons?

Fridge: initally just wanted something near to 400L (maybe a 375L or a 385 L)... then now... I think it's a 475L... *dots* The washing machine also... initially wanted ard 7.5-8kg... now freaking 9.5kg... *faint* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't like patterns on the sofa, but might opt for fabric coz scared that leather seats trap heat, is that true? my current place using leather... my wife's place using fabric... she *swears* by fabric: 1. fabric is much cooler; sweat won't stick on you when u take a nap there (more "breathable"); the cooling fact is from some websites i've read from 2. fabric is "relatively" easier to maintain; think this is subjective; if you spill liquids on your sofa, even though can wash the covers, but the liquids would have seeped into the cushion seats... in fact, leather also need caring... need to use those products to protect/nourish your leather... if not, might dry & crack... maybe the high quality leather... won't be so jia-lat.. 3. fabric is "relatively" easier to do upholstery or "change look"; can "quite" easier order a new set of sofa covers next time, to change look... but then again... whether your cushions still retain its firmness is questionable... for my Cellini ELDA sofa, i asked what's the price of ordering another set of sofa covers (i wanted 1 creamy/beigey one; and 1 darker shade, ie. dark drey/brown kind)... it's like $700-800+ per set... 3) TV Wondering... if I don't have Starhub nor Singtel TV... can I still use Starhub cable socket to get digital channel 5, channel 8, etc? maybe... think you might need some digital tv tuner box or wat... or maybe your tv comes with built-in one... hmmm... 4) Curtains The aircon guys installed the trunking too low, right above the window grilles. Only realized after everything done, too late to change. Are there any particular curtains that require minimal space to install, except for stick-ons? I haven't consider my curtains yet... *headache*... might just use ikea rod curtains... Edited April 5, 2011 by csingeu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have big family, its ok to leave them outside as very fast you will finish using, but small family, you need to keep in fridge to last longer. that's my logic lah.... don't know whether it works for everyone or not.

Yes thats what my wife said. haha. I just thought its leh chey to take out and wash, when a leather one just needs a good wipe and proper protective wipes occasionally. Spill coffee also not scared! maybe... think you might need some digital tv tuner box or wat... or maybe your tv comes with built-in one... hmmm... Yeah thought so. Sian, don't feel like getting starhub now but thats the only socket I have for now. I haven't consider my curtains yet... *headache*... might just use ikea rod curtains... Must consider when doing aircon trunking. Mine installed the trunking at where I was supposed to put curtains. nah..I didnt chk with them..non of my neighbours did like yours..so conclusion, i dont want to be diff from the rest hahaha.. Orhhh.. heh, ok, but u need to pay extra for the stainless steel tray for each compressor, at least $200 extra? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LADY_R 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Orhhh.. heh, ok, but u need to pay extra for the stainless steel tray for each compressor, at least $200 extra? yup, I check with my Mechanical Engineer and he remind me to ask for drain tray since my compressor will be at balcony. Im still in dilema whether to run my trunking inside false ceiling or below.. Engineer ask me to put inside as what he say, it will look nice and hardly FCU get spoilt..but contractor ask me to put it below, if anything wrong can easily repair.. now I got 2wks to think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joyousonline 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2011 ha even if only 2 pax, i will buy at least a 8.5kg washing machine and a close to 500l for fridge. i need a fridge deep enough to fit in a cake just in case you need to celebrate birthdays coz i do entertain at times. some fridges cannot make it as some are too shallow in depth.. these items can last at least 10 yrs. especially when our families are expected to grow. thus, i prepare for the bigger space unless you have much space to play with without any constraint of fixed kitchen carpentry.

Mine quoted me abt $112 for the extra stainless steel tray... though madwarrior told us that we could have asked for free... (i think different companies la... ) yup, I check with my Mechanical Engineer and he remind me to ask for drain tray since my compressor will be at balcony.

Engineer ask me to put inside as what he say, it will look nice and hardly FCU get spoilt..but contractor ask me to put it below, if anything wrong can easily repair.. now I got 2wks to think yah... the aircon guy when doing site survey at my place... also tell me gd to have the drain tray, if not the compressor water will drip in the balcony and create some discolouration of the floor tiles after some time... he also recommended me to run the trunking inside the L-box.... coz it's nicer... but contractor told me to put the trunking underneath the L-box, in case leak or wat... easier to repair and service... but i'm likely to run into the L-box la...

For fridge, i changed because my dad was telling me to get a 2-door kind... it's bigger etc... coz he's the cook at home, i think he understands why a bigger fridge is better... same reasons as when you mentioned... esp during festive seasons, whereby family gatherings, etc are common... the extra space will be needed... he said.. even if it's just to put lots of heinkein bottled beers, like in the commercial, also more shiok...
