Bird ****..... And now it is gone..... PS: That is not Mr. Kstoh and I did not borrow his waterjet.

Got this light for our MBR. Love it to the max!

I got the lights from a shop at Balestier (nearer to the CTE / Jalan Rajah Udang) called Italu Collections. Shop owner is a relative of my contractor so more easy to settle if got problems.

You can install this rubber but if the rubber is too soft, lizards n roaches will still be able to squeeze through. Another thing, since rubber cause friction when opening/closing, it will be sweeping your floor and dirt/dust will be trap below.

Just want to share our experience with some plumbing issues in relation to our kitchen sink and washing machine. Sometime last week we decided to do laundry for the first time at our new place. It was recommended that for new washing machines, one should do 1 full empty cycle first before actually loading clothes in. Luckily we did so because what we didn't know was that major plumbing issues were about to occur! About 15 mins into the washing cycle, I started to hear some bubbling noise coming from the kitchen sink area, which is odd since I was doing laundry, not washing the dishes! I hurried over to the sink and found soapy foaming water coming UP from under the sink and into it and the water started to rise in the sink. Got a shock of my life but managed to keep calm to avoid stressing the missus out. HAHA. Immediately went over to the washing machine and turned off the main water pipe for the washing machine before turning the washing machine off. After surveying the area, I realized that some areas under our kitchen cabinet had water coming up from under it, and some of the water made its way onto our kitchen floor. Spent some time clearing the soapy water and even then, it continued leaking for a while. Thereafter I smsed our contractor to come fix it promptly. To cut the long story short, what appeared to be the problem was that the kitchen sink and washing machine shared the same drainage pipe, so much so that when the water pressure for either builds up, the water takes the least path of resistance which is not necessarily down the drain, but up into the sink or up into the washing machine. The plumber has since come down and separated the drainage pipes into 2 separate ones, each serving either the sink or washing machine. Do take note of this when you are configuring the plumbing for your kitchen/yard area. Lesson learnt! +1 experience point.

Taobao Round 1 About a month ago have purchase lightings, taps and misc items from Taobao and it has finally arrived Singapore yesterday. It took about 2 weeks to consolidate the orders in China and was suppose to take another 3 weeks for it to arrive to singapore, however items came 1 week earlier. Total took about 4 weeks after placing orders. Will be collecting it real soon and Good News comes in double, Have applied for hacking for next week and it will be the official start of my renovation. Here are some of the sneak peaks of the items which we have bought from Taobao: Here are some links to the lights i have bought : http://item.taobao.com/item.htm...( Tom Dixon Lights) http://item.taobao.com/item.htm... http://item.taobao.com/item.htm... ( There is a cheaper seller for this item but wanted to get from same seller) http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm... (censor light recommended by taobao fb grp) http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm... (this item is really heavy thus added cost to the shipping) http://item.taobao.com/item.htm... (Saw this shower head in SG and was recommended for its pressure of the water and it was selling at TB for really cheap price) I have also bought some other 2 water tap + other misc. stuffs.
