hmm looks nice....

get a mechanical grandfather clock.

first choice is always "face the main door" there is no 2nd choice. Unless you already 皈依. in which you can even dedicate a whole room just for the altar, some pple call it a in-house mini shrine.

market rate around $180 including installation for a stainless steel with very tiny gap. sometimes you got to let your contractor "KNOW" the market rate mah.

$125 includes installation? the one i bought is 8" hor model starts with 20xxxx. $55 or $65+ nia. 6 inch one lagi cheaper around $50 or $45.. infact for the most expensive reversible(2 way) 15 inch vent fan I paid around $110 nia. go to block 30, the a shop in middle of the block. http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel.../travel_site_1/ installation : you need to have windows like mine, lourve type cannot unless change the window. 1) remove glass from window and bring to kelantan lane 2) pay $8-$12 to cut the hole. 3) bring back and fix back the glass. 4) install the vent fan, as easy as 123... or just tell patrick to do it.

ST FORUM Bad service experience with an award-winning furniture company AS A layman, how do we choose which retailer to buy from when we need some furniture for our new home? All things being equal, we would choose one which is Case-accredited and have won many service awards. However, my recent experience with an award winner, Novena Furnishing, proved me otherwise. On June 30, after many days of furniture hunting, I finally decided to purchase a three-seater sofa and dining set from Novena Furnishing. My first encounter of service breakdown began right from the time my purchase order was being drafted in the showroom at Genting Lane. The sales executive informed me apologetically that the light brown sofa which I saw on display was out of stock. I was advised to choose another brown colour instead. I had actually chosen the sofa because its colour matched my living room walls. My question was: Why display a colour which was not available in the first place? He again apologised and added that he would provide feedback to his management to remove it from being displayed to avoid such situations in future. I accommodated and settled for another brown colour for the sofa. He then completed the purchase order, listing the additional dining table and chairs which I had selected. After setting the delivery date on Saturday, July 14, and making full payment, I left the showroom. On Thursday, July 12, I called the sales executive to check the actual delivery time. To my surprise, he informed me that the dining chairs which I have selected had run out of stock and he requested me to go down to the showroom in the evening to select another chair model. He said that due to some internal communication breakdown, the chairs which I had ordered were sold to another party. Again, I accommodated and went down to the showroom to re-select the dining chairs. On Saturday, July 14, the delivery team came with the dining table and chairs. When they opened the package to assemble the table, they found that the screws for the table legs were missing. As they could not assemble the table, they left the packages behind and told me that they would return on Monday morning around 11am with the screws to assemble it. On Monday, July 16, I waited in the new house from 11am. By noon, no one came so I called the delivery hotline number listed on the invoice. No one answered even after many attempts. I then called the sales executive to help me check. He reverted that the delivery was actually fixed in the afternoon (3pm to 5pm) and not in the morning. I was furious that I had wasted my whole morning waiting in the house and asked why no one had contacted me. Again, he apologised for the service breakdown. I went for lunch and returned to the house by 3pm. I waited till 8pm that night but no delivery came even though the sales executive kept assuring me that they were on the way. I told the sales executive that I could not continue waiting like that and he promised me that he would re-arrange the delivery for Tuesday morning at 11am to 1pm. On Tuesday, July 17, my husband called the outlet to register his complaint but no one answered. He then called the corporate office to request the customer service manager to get back to him. No one returned his call. Meanwhile, I waited in the new house and the delivery came only at 1.30pm. Due to some screw alignment problem, they took almost an hour to assemble the dining table. Later, I found out from the men that they skipped the previous night's appointment because the screws were missing again (second time) from the package. During this period, not a single management staff from Novena Furnishing called to enquire about our complaint. The only person who corresponded with us was the sales executive even though we requested his supervisors/managers to contact us. I hope this public sharing of my terrible service experience will send a strong message to the management of Novena Furnishing that it cannot just ignore the poor service rendered and do nothing about it. Remember your customers are your walking advertisements. Catherine Chang Swee Tin (Ms)

toa payoh.... hmm. nowadays 90% of all philips products made in china - a place where QC is lacking...for all companies.

he is a give and take fella, adjustments made at the end of the day(total bills) when you have things to add during reno

better rent a van, from $55-$90 nia. can put as much cakes as you want lor..

for inverters, you can only see the savings if you use a lot.

tiles first, then chute. try to get the same contractor for both.

be prepared to change your ID's layout and design... ask as much things as possible...you aint paying for nothing. 1) main door 2) stove 3) bed 4) dining table 5) studytable

We took turns with one STARING at the meter while the other went into the house and switch on every socket/light switch one at a time. And it turns out that the wiring along the hallway(beneath the stairs) were faulty, I consider myself to be lucky able to find out the faults immediately. If we had choose to trust HDB or skim on the $2k+, a few mths down the road after we shifted in then some wires got burn or got shortcircuited.....then we really really SIAO liao. I think long ago Mr GMC warn you b4 on the wirings - industrial recommendation(professionals) is to change new wires every 20 yrs. Whether your wires are covered by cornice or not, you still cant see what is inside...

yalor, so shiok...flygal can fly anywhere YET get paid for it; for sleeping in 5star hotels.....
