Hi, delay on my photo update cos no access to my lappy.

ive gotten the suspended vanity too. gonna get my carpenter to do the installation. due to our toilet size I could only get the 68-78cm wide vanity set. but most of the vanity set in tb are together with the mirror and basin. I have requested to the seller for the vanity cabinet and the cabinet top to customize to my round bowl basin. which required 15days. so the vanity set will be in my 2nd phases shipment or else I will source ard Singapore for a cheaper one...i also ordered another mirror which is about 1.3m wide from the same seller.... the rest of my tb item are otw...which should be arriving in mid Apr.

Do give us an update once they arrive, I used peeka as they seem to be the only forwarder providing optional insurance, was worried my 4 mirrors will crack or chip during sea freight. I'm thinking of using another forwarder without insurance as Peeka calculation method is just too expensive.

Hi Del8, would really like to try these. But I'm not sure if they're compatible with our switches, or if they're 'lasting'. Any ideas?

Hi owlNbear,

I had a distant friend on social media using this switch and she said that it is compatible with our switches. She just renovated her flat so maybe I will check with her again on the lasting issue. Just wondering why no one get these switch to go with their theme since the design look way cooler than our standard HDB  "army camp switch".

Just talked to fiance about this, and he said that older resale HDB flats (like ours) come without concealed wiring, so we need the bulky switch boxes to house all the wiring inside. But for the newer BTOs, yeah, should definitely go for those.

Hi,

Yes I did thought of changing the switch. I thought of going to the row of hardware shop in Kalantan lane but after seeing ur link I might consider getting from tb instead.

this is the switch I wanted to get but I'm afraid it couldn't last due to touch screen.
