Bianzi, I ordered already and its shipped otw to Singapore! Sorry! Hello there, Here's the link . Anyway I suggest that you should wait for me to receive it first, do a review before ordering as it can be quite a big order and if they dont turn out nicely it'd be a waste of money. I'm ordering this and keeping my fingers crossed http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0k.6846093.1130978137.d4913621.MLkYl2&id=38099112366&_u=31rtl1cv8187

Hello, here's the link for the door stopper. It works by stepping on the tip so the rubber stops the door below http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.72.aMyyZs&id=25127036239&ns=1&_u=k1v2jvc9c16e#detail

TB is really quite addictive Hi Yurikoyeo, the carpet link is http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.43.0jS0W5&id=22674824503. For the craft brick, yes it is RMB45 per square metre For the kitchen soya sauce drawer organizer, it is http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.0.0.pezbQp&id=3464847951 Hi Puggy, here you go : http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.192.KLYamq&id=17633203407&ns=1&_u=n1v2jvc99542#detail

Figured that I wouldn't be able to take photos of every single item I bought from TB, so here are some which I've taken their images from seller for my first order (I've got 4 orders in total). Would take real photos of bigger items such as dining table, chairs, dining lights, TV console etc when its here! Anyway one of the items I bought which is the sofa cushion was purposely ordered in down feather (its SO difficult to find) as down feather is plushy and super huggable! I managed to buy just the pillow cover in the same size of the down feather separately too! All taps/ toilet accessories are bought from the same seller except the bidet spray: Managed to find this suspended clothes hanger too, so in love with it!

Yay! Look forward to it!! Thanks for your +1! Thanks for sharing your opinion, totally agree! We don't watch bluray and I believe firmly that HD is sufficient to! Thanks for sharing, +1 to HD vote!

I'm hinting the man at the HD one too but it seems he's leaning onto the UHD!! He's loves watching TV but I hope I can psycho him to get the HD one instead

This was one of the consoles I shortlisted too! Super excited to see yours! Good work there!

Taobao Updates: Eventually I topped up my purchases on TB to be worth $5000 - my hubby told me TB's too addictive and that should be my last order, haha. Anyway most of the items has already reached the warehouse in China and I'll be shipping them asap to get the reno started. Contractor J Update: Contractor mentioned he will be sending me a timeline of what he's gonna do and what will be done - I thought it was very neat and thoughtful. Laying of floor protection will start this Friday and it will be quickened once my TB shipment comes. I'm in a dilemma to buy a LG $3099 UDH 55" TV or a Samsung $2199 HD 55" SMART TV - Which would you pick? Also, is it true that kitchen laminates are usually 0.8mm? Cause Contractor J told me he will let me pick the more expensive laminates 1-1.2mm without topup as I saw a laminate I particularly like! So far he hasn't charged me extra for anything I added here and there even though I signed the contract with him already so I'm very thankful!! I heard there's so many ID and contractor that start charging a bomb after signing for any small additional things. Contractor J even threw in a suspended bed side table for hubby which he was thrilled

Awww thanks for sharing Jiawen, Im in need of a super detailed TB advice. Anyway I can't find O11 tblog, do you have the link please? Thank you!!

Hi Oceaneleven, Actually the reason why I go through an agent is because I have no idea how to order and send it direct to Singapore. I understand that there's a forwarder called 4PX or something but I dont know how to order and input the forwarder's address. The other thing is I'm not sure how I know whether which item has reached the China forwarder's warehouse and which item hasn't reached. I heard 4PX is not prompt with updates or sometimes doesn't even update? My agent doesn't check for me the items but he orders for me and updates it instantly everytime something reaches China's warehouse as well as update whether seller has dispatched it for delivery or hasn't. I can then decide whether I want to ship which items to SG first if the rest haven't reach. If you could enlighten me how ordering directly from seller works, that'd be great, thank you!

Hi Cj8888, to be fair, I'm not quite sure if my contractor would like me to share the contact details of his electrician cause I believe he works for him. I need to check with him on this at a later stage. Secondly, I would prefer a lot more to share Contractor J's contact when I finish or am halfway through doing my place to give everyone a more thorough review of the final workmanship and service he provides. I think it's only fairer that way to introduce genuinely good contractors to people on renotalk than some who just keeps telling you their contractor / ID is so good so good but the reason why they tell u it's good is because they want u to sign with their contractor to get a referral fee or discount for their EC. I've met so many people who do that but their contractor/ID is really just not that good as they claim. I believe in only authentic referrals thus for those who PMed me for Contractor J's contact, I think you guys need to wait at least a month on before I decide to share or not share his contact (:

Hello there!! Yes the problem I had was that the main point was right in the middle of the living room and I didn't want to do a false ceiling at the tv area but so wittily, the electrician whom I'm gonna name Electrician S. thought of a way to place it such that I don't have conduits running in awkward shapes on e ceiling by manipulating the length of the track. It's tricky to share how it's done but I will post this when my wiring are up to give you a clearer idea (: -------------------------------------- A quick update today: I visited my contractors office and my jaw literally dropped. I thought he was running a really small one man business like typical contractors but what I didn't know was that he actually had a huge factory with several workers who were cutting huge solid boards and assembling them from literal scratch. It was then I realised, that I had actually come straight to a contractor who makes everything himself such that he was able to give me better quality in terms of all the carpentry and laminates etc etc yet still priced it so low. I also realised he only has workers to make everything but he does the delivery+assembling+touch up. It's quite impressive because it was then I saw the step by step of building a kitchen from factory and that IDs go through him to get their kitchen done. I thought such factories probably existed in China where they cut such huge solid woods into a board and so forth. Anyway I picked out all my laminates for the house today at his office as well as finalized details of storage and even more convinced my kitchen/ shoe cabinet & walk in would turn out amazing (:

Sounds great, thanks for sharing! Love your place!

Love your tom dixon lights and kitchen top!

Congrats! Looks huge, a resale? Which part of Serangoon North?

Last night as I was alising with a seller for one of the bigger orders through aliwangwang, the seller told me that my Singapore agent ordered one item less for me. Thankfully he alerted me immediately and I dropped my TB agent an email to get it rectified. After that, I realised to minimize any problems with my Taobao shipment since its really so huge, I contacted every single seller I was buying from via Aliwangwang and told them to double check my agent's purchase with my actual orders by telling them what I ordered exactly. I also shared that I require them to crate up or store them well to be shipped overseas to reduce any defects when it reaches Singapore. I think if you are ordering from TB and is a low risk taker like me, you should contact TB sellers directly. It saves the hassle of returns and exchanges when it reaches

I'm really pinning my hopes that things arrive safely and as they are, thanks for popping by! TB is seriously addictive. My original purchase was about $3k and I have no idea how I managed to want to buy $4k worth of stuff haha. Fingers crossed, I say ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While fiddling with different modules of my walk in wardrobe, here are some modules which I created (using photoshop) to suit my room with exact dimensions! Well, thing about using contractor is that you have to be preferably precise in what you want so I thought I better come up with a photo to show him instead of verbally explaining what modules I need in my wardrobe. By the way, I told my contractor that I wanted coloured laminates for the internal instead of white (as advised by all my friends) and internal coloured laminate actually costs more in case some of you didn't know. The third module from the left is actually for my dresses which is longer in length Which do you guys prefer? or

Awesome thanks for sharing! Im using oops and hope things go smoothly!
