and you can use happy call with gas stove...

gmarket occasional have sales for happycall.. can get around $40+ for small 5.5cm pans and $50 for 7.5cm size ones.. gonna get 1 for my wife after we move into our new home too..

really everyday every hour?

1 more day to renovation... my body is in office but my soul already standby at our new flat already.. haha can't wait for today to end.

alot of people say if you buy rinnai or technogas.. u cant go wrong as it's a common brand used in singapore for many years liao.. and we seldom cook so like u said.. no point getting an expensive 1 to show off.. just get a decent looking one for decorative purpose can liao.. cheers

My wife thinking about changing the glass surface to another stainless steel type coz she saw many reports of the stove glass shattering and that freaked her out.... the glass just shatter by itself when nobody's using.. got one case it shattered when someone was around the stove somemore..

Everyday is SUNDAY Shopping New additions to our Home furnishing.. Madison & Co bedsheets 600 thread count my wife saw these today at the 1 day robinson's member only sales. it was having a 50%+40% sales.. saved quite a bit today was still grumbling how much we had to spend on bedsheets and now.. we saved almost 1/2 of the cost.. there were other offers on bedsheets.. but the offer was not as attractive as this.

got it for $1699 from courts booth at IT fair, with $150 taka voucher and usb dongle. audiohouse was selling at $1799 with $100 taka voucher and a 7.0 android tablet worth $400+.. but decided to save on the $100 for other stuffs as we dont really need the Tablet.

nice info! i think i should pay the shop a visit with my wife too.. still havent buy electrical appliances except for the Sony TV from IT fair for our new home as we were wishing for better deals to pop up..

i think all the bladeless fans are noisy.. regardless whether it is dyson or just a immitation.. i bought 1 from gmarket last time for $30+.. coz my wife likes it.. and it's still working now. just that the noise generated at high speed is very loud.. like hearing the sound of someone vacuuming the floor outside the room.

My wife is interested in this dining table: We do not intend to buy from the sofa shop because the furniture there is not very cheap. I think this table can easily cost $2k, which I don't feel comfortable of this price. If anyone has seen this table, and price is cheap, I would like to purchase this.

Everyday is SUNDAY Shopping We bought Sony Bravia Internet TV EX520 46" on last Sunday's IT Fair from Courts. We were impressed on the clarity image that Sony can do when streaming Youtube. We initially wanted to get a Samsung, but Samsung cannot match the clarity as much as Sony when comes to online streaming. This caught our attention, and we decided to purchase Sony, instead of Samsung. We personally don't like 3D (never watch 3D movies in cinemas too), and we don't buy DVD to watch. We watch movies via Internet, so no point getting a 3D and not using it. An Internet TV is good enough

Initially I thought it will not be difficult to find 16" bedsheets, since most shopping centres, or even NTUC sell bedsheets. However, when we start searching for it, we have difficulties in getting it, and also the price is not cheap, so we don't want to buy it first. We found 16" in Robinson, hopefully Robinson sales come early. oh ya.. forgotten that we still have taka vouchers from the purchase of TV. might go to Takashimaya to hunt for the bedsheet..

Something for the readers to consider. The trend now for mattress comes in latex, micro-gel, etc. The thickness can be a lot, sometimes more than 16" height for the mattress. My king mattress is 15" height, if I put mattress protector, the height may increase to 16". It is very difficult to find 16" bed fittings, except expensive brands such as Jean Perry, King Koil, etc, which they come in 16" bedsheets. This can easily cost over $100 for a set of bedsheet (w/o quilt cover). With quilt cover, it costs $200+. My wife tried to find something decent in Aussino sales, but the maximum height that they sell is 15", and it is not included in the discount sales. It costs $100+ too. So do reconsider when you want to buy high mattress. The accessories (bedsheets) do not come cheap.

Everyday is SUNDAY Shopping The first item that we bought in January (before we sign the reno contract with DeFong): Dunlopillo King Bed + Frame (My biggest investment ) We have chosen the 4th color for the bed frame.

Everyday is SUNDAY Shopping Last Sunday, we visited Furniture Mall. Actually I have no intention to buy anything that day. Just wanted to go there and choose my bed frame fabric colour, and go home. In the end we bought a sofa and a tv console. This is not the color that we have chosen for the sofa. We have chosen something brown, but not sure why my S2 phone didn't manage to capture the correct color, so I decided not to post the fabric colors. The sales lady was friendly, and gave us good discount for the sofa. She understands we are young married couple, don't have that much savings to spend, and there are so many things need to buy for our new home, so she asked us how much is our budget, and gave us a good discount for the sofa. The TV console was bought from another shop in Furniture Mall. No discount given, and we overlooked that there is a delivery charge of $80. Glass top is not included too, addition of $120 for glass top.

Everyday is SUNDAY Shopping more pics of items we bought. toilet paper holder towel holder Glass trays for MBR (2nd shelf). Bought 3, and my wife wants to use all the 3 shelves for the MBR. She wants to go back Hoe Kee to buy additional glass shelves for the Common The metal rims for glass tray also comes in stainless steel, or cheap metal that will rust after some time. Stainless steel costs $10-20 more than the normal glass trays. So are the other accessories like toilet paper holder, towel holder, etc.

I only like the book shelves from Beds.sg. Other items I'm not sure if I can trust to buy

Everyday is SUNDAY Shopping more pics techno gas hob (color not decided yet, may change to stainless steel or black glass hob) & slim hood Techno glass hob has lifetime warranty, should the glass break, you get a new replacement We don't cook often, so this kind of hood is good enough for us. It is mainly for display. The sales lady in Hoe Kee taught us how to clean the hood. All you need is take out the trays, put Mama lemon detergent in the water, and dip the tray in the water. The oil will come out from the tray, and the tray is clean again..

Everyday is SUNDAY Shopping Basin taps that we have chosen Tap for Sink Kitchen stainless steel sink (580mm long) I didn't know that you need to buy the plastic or metal container/part for holding the waste. This is additional cost incurred. Plastic container costs $8, and metal container costs $15. If you are using hot water, it is advisable to get the metal container, so that hot water will not melt the container. ROX One-piece WC with soft closing

Everyday is SUNDAY Shopping Items that we bought at Hoe Kee Genting lane branch. Previously, we went to Hoe Kee Jalan Besar.. but was greeted by the black face uncle (maybe because of the way we dressed.. Shorts, polo tee, school bag and wearing Cros Slippers). We walked round the shop for 5 minutes, a sales guy followed behind us, without saying much, so we left the place after 5 minutes. Then, we saw in the blogs that some fellow RT forumers mentioned about Genting lane Hoe Kee service was better(indeed much better), so we decided to travel all the way down to Genting Lane on a Sunday to have a look. We were approached by a sales man (uncle), but as we were still looking and picking the items that we like and those that were within our budgets, so we told him that we just wanna look around. A few times different sales men would come over to us and check if we need help. We spent almost 2 hrs choosing the items that we wanted, and taking down the models we wanted, so we could give the paper to any sales person to do our purchase. Around 5:30PM, we approached a sales lady and she gave us some friendly advices on the items that we wanted to buy. The prices were within our budget and knowing that we are a young couple, she tried to give us discount, except items that were already on promotion. Conclusion: the staffs at the Genting lane branch is definately much more friendly than the ones at jalan besar. These are the items we bought: Ariston 30L storage heater Why we chose Ariston is because Hoe Kee is the authorised dealer for Ariston. If the storage heater requires servicing, you may contact Hoe Kee and they will work on the servicing for you. There are two types for this model. One is made in Vietnam (cheaper by $50), the one that we bought is made in Italy. This is one of the latest model, compared with the round Ariston storage heaters you may have seen outside. Why we chose this model is because we were advised that new models of other brands' storage heaters inlet hot/cold water pipes are at the bottom of the tank. The older version of storage heaters' pipes are at the side. If one day the storage heater spoil, and the current model that you are using - the pipes at the side, you need to buy the same model, and cannot change to other brands. If let say our storage heater spoil, we need not buy Ariston. We can buy other brands in market as other brands are using bottom pipes, not side pipes. So do take note of the pipes of your storage heater. Rainshower for MBR toilet (brass material) showerhead for common toilet Hot/Cold Water Mixer Sinks for Common and MBR Accessories parts such as the water stopper and the bottom container are separate cost from the basins. Basins will be wall-mounted, so it does not come with the stand. The stand is also additional cost, which is more expensive than the basins!

so you are going to partition out ur kitchen into 2 areas? nice idea.. since we have a large kitchen.. my wife had wanted to reduce the size of our kitchen and to stretch the living room further in so that we could allocate a space for dinning room, but due to our budget.. had to give up the idea..

Things bought for our new home 1. King Size Dunlop Mattress with Bedframe 2. Bathroom Accessories from Hoe Kee (Genting Lane Branch) 3. Techno Gas Hob & Hood, Storage Heater also from Hoe Kee 4. Sony 46" LED Internet TV from Suntec IT FAIR 2012 5. Still deciding between Panasonic or Mitsubishi System 3 air con.. will update item list as we add more stuffs.. pocket big big hole liao...

the condition of the flat is not very good so we decided to hack everything for the kitchen, living room, toilets and bedrooms. in short.. almost a complete overhaul..gonna do built in wardrobe for MBR and top and bottom cabinet for the kitchen. 1 of the common room will be our study room and 1 room will be left empty as a baby room in future.. currently might be using it as a room for me and my wife to draw oil paintings. didnt do any built in stuffs in the 2 common room as we decided to buy study table and cupboards from ikea as a temporary solution due to our limited budget as we are still young and do not have much savings to purchase what my wife had actually wanted...
