  1. Aiya now I understand why I cannot buy fitted bedsheet, coz mine is about 11".... Always got problem.

    btw, the king coil mattress couldnt even fit into the lift and the poor workers had to walk all the way up to my unit.

    How come? The lift so small? I thought my thick dunlop mattress cannot go into the lift, but surprisingly, the mattress can fit into the lift.


  2. This is my first time buying a proper bed. I also thought all bedsheets can fit in all kinds of mattresses. So I never consider the mattress height before I purchase the bed. I thought 17" bedsheet fittings is easy to find, but it took me some time to find suitable bed fittings, and it is not cheap at all. Last time I slept in Ikea sofa bed, and I bought a lot of bedsheets from NTUC. Cheap and good, about $20+, can change anytime I want. When there is sales, I will buy a lot to keep. Now I want to buy new bedsheets I have to think twice.


  3. I got bad experience with my aircon installer too. I think all aircon installers are the same kind.

    My aircon installer came to do our aircon, but forgot to bring the board to cover the wall. He said he will bring the board the next day, so we agreed. Who knows what.... that very night rain very heavily. When the aircon man went to install the board the next morning, he didn't call us to say our room was flooded. He only know how to call me when he can't open the door because our door lock is old and rusty, so he don't know the "tactic" to open the door. He should at least have the courtesy to call me back, and tell me the room is flooded. He installed his board and left the place. We went to the house after work and found our room flooded with water. We end up cleaning the mess. It was his fault for not bringing the board to cover the hole, otherwise the rain won't come in the house.


  4. Do take special note when buying bedsheets. Most brands do state how much thickness their bed fittings can fit your mattress. The highest I saw is 17", about 42cm. 16" is up to 40cm. Major brands do carry up to 14" bed fittings and below, so you can buy your bedsheets at ease. As for my mattress, it is 16-17" thickness, so I need to find brands like King Koil etc. My mattress can't fit Aussino bedsheets. The thickest they offer is 15".


  5. A few suggestions:

    1) You can do a kitchen island for your dining area since the area is big, kitchen island allows you to have more storage space and provide a grand look. Since you emphasis on your TV feature wall, the more you should emphasis on the dining area to match the look. Having a dining table is fine, but the feeling and look are too plain.

    2) You can do a swing-out glass door for your MBR toilet, instead of swinging inward since the new hollow wall does not have new wardrobe/cabinet, this allows you to do a swing-out door to save space for your MBR toilet. You then can place the basin in the MBR toilet instead of placing it outside the toilet. Then you can focus on longer or wider built-in wardrobe. You will never know when you need more space for clothes

    3) Ideally, it doesn't look nice to change the bedroom door entrance facing the dining area. I prefer the door entrance to remain where it is, so your guests cannot look into the bedroom while dining in the dining area.


  6. To be fair, i would say there is no wow factor in the design. I do hope he didnt paid premium for a ID.

    I have never agree with albert (you) before, but you are so so right today. I know what you mean, the design looks like tearing down the old cabinet, and rebuild a new cabinet with different design. Even the sink and the hob are in same position as the old design. Nothing fancy, no WOW effect.

    It is very easy to design a house using all whites. Nothing special, nothing creative. Maybe he didn't pay a premium, especially on the carpentry, because it looks like normal PVC white laminates to me.


  7. Hi Aya,

    My ID got apologise to my dad for his behavior on tat very same day after tat incident and I considered the matter closed. As to the newly erected wall, they also rectified the prob (ie they already removed the plaster and apply cement first and they should be replastering again quite soon). I still look forward to the finished end product (ie my SWEE SWEE renovated house) by DeFong. I'll post up pics soon! Hehe....

    Hi Elise,

    I'm glad that they are taking up the responsibility to rectify the work for you. I hope your house will turn out swee swee. Don't feel too stress, and awaiting for your updates soon.


  8. Hi Elise. Don't worry about the waterproofing in the toilets. HDB is very particular with waterproofing. I doubt Defong will dare to risk their license to be revoked. They won't dare to cut materials for the toilets. So not to worry about that. If your contractor promises that there will not be any scratches on your flooring, make sure you check the flooring before he hands over the flat to you. BTW, look at your quotation. You have paid for corrugated board, so why that big area not covered? If the board is free, then you give and take. But if it is something you have paid, I don't see why you can't request that area to be covered.
