more works done to my kitchen right side of the kitchen left side of the kitchen and my hood... A FLOATING HOOD?! seriously.. this is what ticks me off . the weirdest thing i ever seen in my whole life. a chimney hood is called a chimney hood because it connects to the top... why would such thing happen. first, it might be asiaexcel missed out one more piece... which obviously who in the world will know because instructions and manual parts are all written clearly its in place. second, the distance from the hood and hob is just nice, so the gap is a mystery. Since it's already up and the distance from hob is just nice, my ID suggested to put a false box to cover the gap. which i'm totally ok with it... i'm not sure if he is gonna charge me for this, but if i were him, i would use the extra leftover parts from the the living room where some rectifications were done and a huge chunk of the false ceiling were dismantled. maybe all disposed liao.. sigh...

next~ work table for my study room undermount sink for my kitchen sliding sauce tray. ok.. you may ask... normally the sauce tray are those that are connected to the door and can be accessed easily if u stand on its left or right side. but my ID have warned me about the durability of the door and track, which i did witness in a couple of friends house that after frequent use over some time, the door and tray started to warp and couldnt close fully. thats why this type was used instead.

haha oops.. yes.. taobao can be challenging especially on the language. took me a looooooong time to figure out. anyway the rinnai hob hood and oven set i got for about 1.7k plus. pretty much follow their catalogue price.. maybe u can ask for a little discount from the sales in asiaexcel that i think they will entertain anyway.. for your easy reference.. here's the link for the price

kitchen sink... taobao again. was lucky to catch its promo at 838rmb. set consist of sink, tap, sauce rack, knife holder, small dustbin (on the right), soap dispenser (on the left), drainers with filters and connecting pipe systems. actually its what u see in the pic, apart from the knife and plates. tap is not those plastic feeling type, really heavy and solid stainless steel.never had high hopes for china products but the tap impressed me. colour cups for the usual needs in the kitchen flavoring bottles for the common sugar, salt, etc.
-
toilet stuffs! also from taobao.. haha shower set for my toilets x 2 sadly the hand held and stand felt plasticky compared to what hdb provided. only the tap/knob is very solid and heavy. u really get what u paid for.for the rest of the item below, feel solid and durable. thumbs up basin tap for toilet sinks x 2 toilet paper holder for toilets x 2 towel rack for toilets x 2 hand towel holder for toilets x 2 door hanger for clothing behind toilet doors x 2

spot checking on weekend.. lets see what i found grilles are up! and also window for service yard living room grilles with my painted walls.. left side in grey study room grilles with left side in grey master bedroom and grilles with right side in grey entire house painting, only 2 colours pure white and light grey nippon easywash with teflon and as told by my id.. white is the most difficult to paint. 4 layers needed . because it's pure white, it have to really cover the base and if slight colour difference, it can be very obvious. but they did it with grace and professionalism. so far so good. only some slight uneven spot and abit of painting gaps between floor tiles & skirting. which i have told my id to touch up. minor issue.. hoping for good results. i also gotta praise the works on the grilles and window. very well done. thought putting grilles can be like a prison and very depressing. but it looks good surprisingly. just gotta say, i like it. thumbs up. but still.. if i dont have any small kid with me.. i definitely wont put any grilles.. muahahah also received advice.. for invisible grilles.. it looks nice. price is somehow same also. but.. it is quite sharp.. and may cut your hands if you are not careful. also heard of birds who accidentally kamikaze in, and got its head chopped off... i dunno how true.. but i dont wanna try.. ha

oh yeah~ my hob, hood, oven and 2 x toilet sinks are here~ ID took in the stock for me as i was not available. All in place and in order. entire batch above is bought from asiaexcel imm. 1 x hob (RB-3SS GB) 1 x hood (RH-C779-SB) 1 x oven (RBO-5CSI) 2 x toilet sinks (48x48cm) why rinnai? i trust singapore brand.. wahaha. but anyway, it's still made in china. plus the other brands dont really suit my likings in terms of looks, function, size and feel. i typically chose a further left side burner to cater for big woks or pots. and why tempered glass hob? initially going for stainless steel, to cut costs and can abuse without fear of cracking and smashing. but surprisingly, the costs difference with tempered glass is too minimal, plus the scratches... can be really really ugly and scary. in the end.. chose tempered glass instead, irregardless, still is nicer.. but cannot abuse it like how you 'teppanyaki' compared to stainless steel ones. treat it with care service from asiaexcel is so far so good. delivery on promise. and willing to share info and give tips while at shop.

k, i'm getting a bit lazy on the remaining lights plus budget constraint. so i bought a lot of these. from taobao. 1 x 12W for kitchen 3 x 5W for service yard, bomb shelter and bedroom entrance 2 x 8W for common and master toilets come to think of it... are they bright enough? hmmmmmmmmmmm
-
for my study room and kids room. ceiling light with remote control also buy from taobao. it can on/off, change to warm or bright light. 2.4g remote technology... ok.. dont really care about that. since i be pointing at it and click most of the time also. 1 x orange 24W 1 x grey 24W walk in wardrobe light. also from taobao. 1 x cube (21x21cm) white color with no light bulb. so i can choose my own led energy saving lightbulb.
-
while waiting for progress, lets see what i have bought for my ceiling Fan - KDK V touch junior from JB. Bought at Yess lighting and costs me 400ringgit. Thats 150sgd. Where to find this price in SG u tell me.. thats why i die die must drive in buy Lights! since i was at yess lighting, i also asked about the led downlights, with remote control and can change lumen one, it is around 80 ringgit. but in end, bought form taobao.. ha Opple brand - 4 inch silver rim - 11 W 9 x 6000k cool light 4 x 4000k yellow light each at 80rmb... of course plus freight and handling of fragile item.. one is still about 25SGD

kitchen time. hiding the gas pipe. i pray hard there is no gas leakage.. or else. ok lets just trust the citygas who set up the pipe and my contractor on the box up... be positive. nice? well... i'm satisfied
-
next will be false ceiling in the master bedroom. yes.. m.bedroom just to hide the ugly trunking of the aircon. so we pretty much covered the (ceiling) entrace of the m bedroom. impressive job done again by my contractor and id.
-
ok.. its been a while. had some hiccup and arrangement. especially on the false ceiling, it didn't turn out the way i wanted. Should say some miscommunication with my ID. But anyway, ID was kind enough to changed the entire false ceiling and assuring me that its ok and not to worry at all on the costs. maybe a bi delay on the scheduled timing which i totally agree and understand. so next, the false ceiling and painting up! Living room closer view of living room l-box and false ceiling didnt go for cove, because i dont want insect to live in there and dust can accumulate. next also to save on the costs. regardless, with cove is still nicer. but i dont need it. each to there own preference again. oh yeah, my aircon is up to. cut a cave at the false ceiling, and stuff it in.
