Wah very nice le this Hawaii...., ther ship from Thailand? I can't see the price, how they charge for shipping? I wanted to buy some

Err... we got the same tap, you bought from Taobao also?

So at last, you get the contractor to cover the gap between the ceiling and the hood?

Hwaa, how much extra did Supreme charged you for the platform?

We all kena BBB virus liao, no cure one.

Ehh, Phillips got warehouse sale meh? when?? I thought of buying 1 also, but 1k is way too high already

There are indeed many ideas in our mind, but due to tight budget on reno, we can just do it on simple and practical way. If we are rich enough, and willing to spend 80k on renovation like my friend did, I would show the contractor: nah, this is how I want my living room and bedroom to be... But who knows 20 years down the road, by chance we can buy a new home, then we will probably do so..

Let's share some reno ideas to spice up your imagination p/s: love the french style sofa

Hi Valerie, nice basin you have but I think it is too shallow. Mine one is deep but the water keepl splashing out maybe the water running from my big-mouth tap is too powerfull. I also like to place the basin and WC opposite, it is space saving yet you can see your face when try to gek sai.

Oh this question I can answer, 1. Hobz made in China, Rinnai (most of the models) made in China too 2. Hobz 2 years warranty, Rinnai 1 year 3. Hobz hasn't raise their retail price, Rinnai just raised the prices 2 months ago

I wish you are the seller of the house I bought...

The shipping alone I take it at 600, so the rest of 1400 are for the blinds, curtains, 2 carpets, wallpapers, lightings, and others small small items. In Singapore, one of my friend spent 1k for curtain for living room, another friend spent 500 for 1 carpet, wallpapering the TV console wall cost about 500 in SG, chanderlier and the dining lights being sell in SG for at least 200-300 each. Also we bought a rack for store room, the similar one at carefour already 100 plus, then don't forget also the taps, the crystal, the picture frames, the bladless fan and many more. So NeoBY, is it still cheaper to get from China?

If metal then wall anchor already, on the ceiling is it? I heard from homefix staff that can use spanner to pullet out, but I think not that easy, maybe you can ask your Reno uncle lo. I am using wall anchor too for both living and dining lights.

Timtim - thanks, my reno is already completed on Monday, slightly less than a month. Ofcoz not always swee swee der, many things happened in between, several time I almost shout at the contractor, if you read somewhere in my blog, everything cannot cannot and cannot.... I am glad that I have experienced the whole process, no doubt very tired, but it's a very memorable event in my lifetime. Kenobi - welcome to RT. Try searching google with key word "taobao sg", you will see a lot of agents that can ship things to sg for you. I have personally tried 65daigou and hoyoyo, and I will continue with hoyoyo for my future purchases. Buying from taobao is really fun, especially when you receive a bulk of items at once, a lot of surprises and hapiness to discover. It's also a virus, I have so far spent almost 2k on taobao stuff, 不知不觉 der, so don get addicted like me, happy shopping. Jass - you too bought a lot from taobao, haven't see you comment on the stuff you bought ler, you don't want to earn conmission meh?

I have bought many things from Taobao, with the price I paid, I always have surprises rather than disappointment when I see the real stuff .

Fully agree Rayfox, thanks

Let's move on and leave the crystal or plastic behind.. I received my second bulk purchase from Taobao, this time round I used Hoyoyo, the first comment is the delivery super fast, I arrange sea shipment and the items arrived to my doorstep few days later. Most probably they sent salah by air, but I don't care as long as I am not asked to pay extra for the air shipment. Unlike 65Daigou where they deliver at evening/night time, the local delivery time of Hoyoyo is usually during afternoon, I got the items on Monday afternoon luckily I was there while overseeing the laminate floor installation. Otherwise, a re-delivery is chargeable at $5. There are short delivery at first, and the delivery man gave me a call yesterday informing me that there is 1 more parcel with him and the re-delivery is free because is his fault. As compared to 65Daigou, I would say Hoyoyo is cheaper alternative that give about the same assuarance for buying stuff from China.

otherwise, use a bigger drill bit but it make the hole bigger lo.

Don't need to take out, just plaster will do ma.

Aya, we all layman don't know how to identified whether it is real or fake crystal la... One thing good about Taobao is that you can give a very harsh negative comments, you can report to Taobao, and your action can cause the seller very jiak lat der. But I am in SG, they are in China, even when I received the things already one month over, how to complaint?

It is very possible that being cheated when buying things from Taobao, it is also very possible that being cheated when buying things in SG also. A real crystal curtain can cost you couple of hundred dollars in SG, right?

Hmm, does it matters? Yes 1m length and 2.3m height, I think I got 25 strings instead of 20, so the gap between each string is 4cm

OK, so here you go 【Material】 real crystal bead curtain 【Quality】 imported glossy true crystal (import process, collections of bright)

There is a thing created by God by the name of Google Translate In fact it is just too perfect that I don't believe it is crystal, but it is heavy, maybe 1 day I should try to smash 1 of it on the floor and see how it break. Ok don't worry, seller given quite a number of extra pieces.

I will, 2 days later ok. Meanwhile here you go then link http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9465928003&_u=8lib0s791db The smaller size, dirty one, and with limited choices, and that you have to bring back by taxi one, from Spotlight is selling at 200 to 300.
