  1. Comex 2011 is here....but please do your homework before any buying any stuff. IMO best is to note down the numbers of all the neighbourhood shops, call and ask for the price of the model of the tv....compare the free gifts....and then decide which is a better package overall. do take note also of details like installation, delivery etc. some deals at trade shows...u pay full price...but they tell u delivery full until a certain date etc etc. another thing to take note is GST ONLY GST-registered companies can charge GST At ANY PLACE, GST-registered companies MUST display PRICES with GST. that means, price display $599 means $599. no such thing as add 7% when u reach the cashier....whatsoever. IF you meet a shop/vendor telling u their display price is not inclusive of GST, KINDLY PM ME. If you get charged GST, the GST registration MUST be shown on the invoice or receipt. IF NO GST REGISTRATION NUMBER, KINDLY PM ME AGAIN! For avoidance of any doubts, this is extracted from IRAS website You can check GST registration via this link here http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page.aspx?id=2152#Online_service
  2. I wished there's another spree on this if anyone is letting go of theirs...do let me know!
  3. anyone can recommend an electrician for this? i am interested to future proof my place
  4. i am planning on getting downlights too. saw the one TS mention....i think they have white faceplate instead of silver too. (yes lightings.com.sg) I am not sure if there are any similar ones in the market....but the screws are definitely a smart concept. dunno why the other manufacturers never think of this in the first place but then if u are planning on LED, then any type of downlight also can since you probably wun need to change bulb often. me planning to use the philips easyscene bulbs...so these suit me quite fine i guess.
  5. Actually the key point of this downlight is the fact that you just need to unscrew the 2 screws (refer to picture provided by TS) when changing bulbs. That is an epic change already because you DO NOT need to use any other tools to pluck out the faceplate. the traditional downlights need to use something to "giao" the faceplate out, risk damaging your false ceiling. especially when u cannot control your force well.
  6. can become even less visible if u want either a painting/clock....or maybe u can put skirting to fill the bottom.....well ur choice
  7. anyone know any good contractors for such doors?

  10. regarding the opennet trunking how about a giant painting or clock to decorate the area between the beam and trunking? or giant mirror?
  11. Hi there. wondering if anyone has advance knowledge on the paints to be used for wall and ceiling. I would like to know if this is correct? so we use wall sealer as base coat? http://www.nipponpaint.com.sg/products/primers-sealers-and-undercoats/vinilex-5170-wall-sealer/ then http://www.nipponpaint.com.sg/products/primers-sealers-and-undercoats/aqua-primer-sealer-undercoat/ or http://www.nipponpaint.com.sg/products/primers-sealers-and-undercoats/bodelac-undercoat-9000/ then 2 coats of http://www.nipponpaint.com.sg/products/interior-paints/3-in-1-medifresh-anti-bacterial/ like that able to have a waterproof, anti mold wall?
  12. contacted a few more IDs. Hopefully can have more developments this week.
  13. how is the workmanship? pm me contact pls thanks
  14. Anyone had their kitchen done by this company?
  15. hope can seek some advice here wife likes the idea of cove lights at curtain area....that illuminates the curtains a little....to provide some ambiance. I am thinking whether it is a good idea my main considerations are 1) lights will be near window. it means insect magnet? 2) the L-shaped area will become dusty after sometime right? any solutions to prevent this? I googled for alternatives.... found this but definitely not cheap.... so wondering if anyone here managed to do something to have the cove lighting effect but without cove lights? dunno if my question makes sense
  16. for price u need to call and check....but imo most of these small shops the pricing shld be cheaper than the big retailers.
  17. actually the middle wooden part is ok its the other 2 parts with the patterned laminate that is if change to plain white maybe better
  18. sorry resent.... i also dunno why this ID s k y c r e a t i o n gets censored.... want to ask for feedback also difficult
  19. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42835 actually got a thread on it just within this page.....
  20. for sony....u might want to check out woodlands domestic (its a sony centre IIRC) reason being I believe sony centres offer 5year warranty for tvs....
  21. i think need to weigh the amount of dishes to be washed versus investing a lump sum into a dishwasher. i.e. is there a consistent load of dishes such that getting a dishwasher will actually tap on the economies of scale? this is more for those who are moving into a new place....and planning for appliances to buy. not buying the dishwasher means more cash for elsewhere. for those already moved in....and u have the spare cash flow already to invest in one....definitely can consider
  22. just to check if we buy the blum hinges on our own, will all carpentors know what to do with them and install them properly? or should be look out for blum-certified carpentors?
  23. one thing i would like to contribute before buying at any suntec or expo fairs or those electroic fairs, give a call to shops like everjoint, goh ah bee, woodlands domestic, parisilk, MEGA etc etc check their prices. most of the time they are giving the same package at an even lower price.
