    Hi there,

    I came across your post and read all 12 pages in one go. I think this is by far, the t-blog which I can identify most with :)

    just some quick questions when you have the time to answer:

    1 - Philips downlight is it LED? Do you find it sufficiently bright?

    2 - How did you change the electrical plug for the Swiss Citiz edition? Just by cutting off the original and replacing it with the usual UK-type plug head?

    Thank you

    Cheers

    What should I get? Rinnai RB-3CG or De Dietrich DTE714?

    Both the same price, I love De Dietrich! It comes with cast iron but it is 60cm 4 zone gas burner. Whereas RInnai 3 burner 87cm ceran glass. :dunno:

    Any opinions?

    Can PM me your price for the Rinnai hob?

    imo, your choice should be determined by your style of cooking. If you use a Chinese wok, I think the Rinnai one makes more sense as you should still be able to utilize the other 2 burners at the same time. This would not be possible for the De Dietrich one as the top left and bottom right burner will be blocked by the size of the wok, although the plus point of the De Dietrich one is a smaller footprint on your kitchen top.

    Cheers

    Hi, may I ask how much did the washing machine cost?

    Thanks.

    Yet another major purchase today... finally got my washing machine.

    It's a Bosch WAS28444ME:

    A rather unexpected buy as we had been looking at lower end models... but came across a good offer for this end-of-life model and was seduced by the 'made-in-Germany' tag... (has the same effect on me as the MIJ tag). :P

    Hi all,

    I'm returning to Singapore from Europe in November and was wondering if there are any interested parties who would like to place orders for Longchamp Le pliage canvas bags (foldable). I believe getting them from Europe is cheaper than in the boutiques in Singapore and would be happy to carry back some for a small commission of 10% of the cost price, which is still cheaper from ordering it online and sending to Singapore.

    I am going to limit it only to the canvas ones and not the leather ones. You can find the whole range of colours at this website:

    Longchamp La pliage collection

    If you could help me out by specifying the following details, that would be great:

    > Colour (according to the website, there are 12 colours available)

    > Size (dimensions)

    > Quantity

    As a token of good faith, I will require a deposit of 5% of the total costs of purchase (inclusive of the commission). Interested parties, please email directly to me at wally168@gmail.com

    Cheers

    Quite surprised that no one is interested. Alright, I will lower the commission to 10%.

    To make it more convenient for comparison, here are the prices of the various models (note: quoted prices before postage but includes commission).

    Nespresso Citiz = SGD429, available in colours: Red, Black, Grey, Cream.

    (Retail price in Singapore SGD548)

    Nespresso Citiz with milk = SGD570, available in colours: Red, Black, Grey, Cream.

    (Retail price in Singapore SGD678)

    Nespresso Citiz limited edition (with Paris or New York print) = SGD470

    (Not available in Singapore)

    Nespresso Citiz (Twin-towers) = SGD713

    (Can't find the price on the Singapore website)

    To make this more attractive - I'm willing to throw in 20 capsules (flavour of your choice) in the shipment. I'm gonna start with these models for now. If there are parties out there interested in more sophisticated models, I'd be happy to see to your request and come back to you with a quote.

    As these models are brought in from overseas, you will not be able to enjoy after-sales service (i.e no warranty) and will need to use an electrical adaptor or change the electric plug-head to fit the Singapore plug-system. But what I'm offering here is wider variety, colours and a cheaper alternative (once you factor in the cost of the capsules).

    Interested parties, please email me at wally168@gmail.com for more details.

    Cheers

    Would like to know if there are any Singaporeans interested in procuring Nespresso Machines from overseas. I'm currently based in Switzerland and would be able to get the machines at a cheaper retail price.

    Postage fees and GST costs (if any) will be borne by the buyer. Item will be delivered via Suisse Post.

    I only charge a 13% commission per item purchased. Overall, I think it will still remain cheaper compared to buying in Singapore. There are also more varieties and models to choose from.

    You can go to this website to refer to the listed prices and the models available.

    PLEASE PM ME IF INTERESTED.

    Hi all,

    I'll be returning to Singapore from overseas (early December) and am able to bulk purchase the latest Citiz Nespresso Machine at a discounted price.

    Currently, the model retails in Singapore for SGD548 but I should be able to get it for SGD420-450 depending on the exchange rate. This represents a substantial discount to the current retail price - given that Nespresso is a highly controlled brand in Singapore. They would make fantastic Christmas presents for families, friends and coffee lovers.

    Aside from the machine, the box comes with a standard 12 pods of Nespresso flavours for you to taste as well as the instruction manual. I am able to get it in colours Black, Red, Grey, Ivory.

    Please refer to the link below for more details.

    I'll be bringing back a set for my sister so if anyone wants to join in, please feel free to msg me.

    Anyone has experience using Liebherr refrigerators? I heard that Libeherr actually does the manufacturing for Miele (who then slaps on their brand) but its actually the same product for a lot less $$$.

    Would be nice to know if its suitable for local use in Singapore.

    Cheers

    Hi guys, I just bought my house and now going through the mortgage stuff. Crossing my fingers I will get my keys by early August!

    Searching for ID/contractors now and also sourcing for furnitures and E&Es.

    This is my first house and I really look forward to make it sui sui, been diligently coming to forum to learn more about what to look out for. I especially like the thread on "what material you regret installing" under the "maintenance & repair" and thought I will do one up for E&E.

    Any one to start the ball rolling?? :):sport-smiley-004:

    I have got a place but its not done up yet. However, based on my sister's experience - I would say that a feature wall is something you can do w/o. Reasons are: a)tiles are expensive b)if workmanship is not good, it looks bad c)its a dust/dirt accumulator d) the in-thing look will be out of fashion eventually.

    Just my thoughts.

    Hi choppy,

    Do check Mega Discount at Katong Mall out. Look for Veron for washing machine and Tom for TV. For me I would recommend Bosch (the Germany model) for washing machine and Samsung LCD or LED TV.

    Out of curiousity, how much does a Bosch 7 / 8kg (germany model) costs in Singapore?? Is it called Logixxx 8?

    Btw Gaaraofthesand, where to get Miele washing machine with 5 yrs warranty? Which model + retailer did you get it from and for how much?

    Thanks.

    Dear wally,

    (I am saving up for one of your boats or do I have the right wally? Do you know Dilbert?)

    The mains in UK and Euro is 220-240v 50Hz.

    Same as here in Spore.

    So, should be no problem.

    Just change the plugs.

    If unsure to do this DIY, engage a qualified electrician.

    He will be trained and knows when to switch the power on

    with a broomstick just in case.

    This opinionated advice is valid for equipment for personal use.

    If it is for a commercial venture, then you should know better...

    Lol, Dilbert? The closest so far I've known is Gilbert.

    Anyhow, a big thank you for the advice given. Good to know that i can do so. Some of the electronics are surprisingly cheaper here in Europe compared to Singapore (this in spite of us locals telling visitors that Singapore is a paradise for electronics :P)

    Cheers

    Hi all,

    I just wanted to tap on anyone's past experience regarding the possibility of bringing in imported washing machines / refrigerators from Europe say for e.g. washing machines, ovens, refrigerators etc...and using them in Singapore?

    Given that some European countries use a different plug head, is there anyway to change it or use an attachment to make it suitable for local use? I'm not an electrician but what should I be looking out for in evaluating whether it is suitable? Appreciate any help on this.

    Thanks.

    Cheers

    Hi, just a couple of quick questions on grilles over HDB windows.

    I got a resale in Telok Blangah and realised that the grills are installed behind the windows within the house.

    Qn1: How to install blinds / curtains given that the grilles are not aligned with the wall of the house? Any solutions to reduce the 'thickness' of the grille?

    Qn2: I realised that there is a small gap between the grille frame and the window frame, is this necessary?

    Thanks.

    Cheers
