  1. For sale is a Yamaha YAS-101 soundbar. 100% good working condition and very good cosmetic condition as well. $200 firm. Interested please watsapp me at 979one 972nine for pics. Thank You
  2. I also recently got the LA40R81 Bordeux from BKC at $1870 nett w/o free gifts but wif wall mount and install. Thought it was a good buy for the price and 3 year warranty. They also had te FOC 26" but the package would have costed 2599. The price for this really fell through the roof from since it was launched. But the external panel really v nice design.
  3. Think the ecomony doing much better compared to past few years that some shops think they can yaya now. To ride on your thread, I was a MEGA DXXXXXX KATONG previously ready to buy a 42" Sharp LCD when this balding middle aged salesman decided to take a dig at me for no apparant reason (by using a **** KL tone telling, not asking me to listen to him after I had meade a sarcastic remark.). All I did to "piss him off" was to ask really harmlessly "huh? you mean people actually touch their screens?" when he started to compare hard vs soft panel saying phillips one is better then Sharp's soft panel cos will not have image distortion upon touch. I mean I really didn't see the rationale of buying a TV and going around touching the screen instead of watching it. I stopped him on the spot and said I wasn't interested in buying from him as he just walked off. All this while, he was sitting on the TV sideboard talking to us, the customers. I bought a Mistral tower fan previously fro them and was ready to uy my fridge, TV, HT, washer etc but after this ***, I swore off this shop.
  4. Hey, thanks for sharing the link. However, anyone can verify the accuracy of the data? I have shortlisted 2 fridges: 1) 510 ltr Samsung and 2) 385 ltr Mitsubishi. However, the consumption figures are surprising. The bigger samsung actually consumes only 753 kw pa while the smaller mit consumes 805 kw. How is this possible?
  5. Major stores are retailing at 580+ but the neighbourhood stores charge about 100 less.
  6. Forgot to add. The thing that attracted me to this unit is the "Front stage focus advance" feature. This allows for all the speakers to be placed in front.. aiyah, cut and paste better: Front Stage Surround Advance Front Stage Surround Advance allows you to enjoy surround sound with all the speakers placed in front. Since wall reflections are not used, the setup is less dependent on the room environment, and speakers can be aligned in front without cumbersome wiring running to the back of your room. Front Stage Surround Advance works by creating a difference in sound pressure perceived by the left and right ears, without altering the sound frequency response. This DSP technology creates excellent sound image and natural sound. Unlike conventional virtual surround methods, you are not left with the feeling of a simulated listening experience even after prolonged periods. Or is this just marketing?
  7. Hi all. Am currently scouting around for a cheap and reasonable sound system for my hall. I am ather keen on the Pioneer HTZ 363. Anyone using this? Are pioneer dvd players region free? Thanks
  8. Man, now you are really scaring me. I have a friend. 2 pple stay in a 5 rm. electricity is 300+ a month. Though he has a chiller running for his 5 ft marine tank. He also uses an LG fridge. Hmm, must really think hard now. thanks for sharing
  9. No lah, I'm the one paying but have a history of being a sucker for design neglecting the utilitarian/economy part. Care to share your bad experience the first time?
  10. Bought from them 1 year plus ago. My parent's wadrobe was infested with mould within months. Called them, kenna kicked like a ball. no solution. my mum keep wiping and wiping every few weeks, mold keep growing. the "support staff" can only say must air it, open the windows of the room. My parents don't use the aircon. the windows are open 24/7. In the end, my dad used carwax to wax the interior once through. The mold stopped growing. Dun expect them to help you. Also, find their designs q dated. A few bedroom and study table sets I saw last year still on sale this year. no change. Gave up on them liao.
  11. Dear all. I am looking to buy a fridge of ard 500L. Thing is, I fell in love with a Samsung 2 dr side by side fridge. However, my dad keeps telling me that I should get a japanese brand. Which I have shortlisted a Hitachi model as my 2nd choice. He says they are more energy efficient and won't give problems. However, I really love the samsung fridge due to the colour and design. (Some may find it riduculous). Are japanese fridges really more energy efficient than koreans? Confused...
  12. Hi, We just got ourselves an EA in Pasir Ris too. Our reno also just commenced today by Hoe Bee.
  13. Opps, in your living room pic, I saw a long horizontal grey structure hidden by some trees and I tot it was the MRT line.
  14. Congrats. From your pic, I see the MRT line. Lucky you, 20k above valuation for 5 rm is indeed a steal. We began house hunting in july and the prices were 50k above valuation for 4rm tampines. Madness. In the end, we settled for a 10k above valuation EA in Pasir Ris. Also considered a "steal" considering the 70k above for 5rm in Bedok etc. From your bathroom pics, I see that the width of your showering area is about 2.5ft. Will it be too narrw to bathe comfortably? I'm having this problem too.
  15. My folks have a simple table from ikea which they originally intended to use for simple clothes folding. However, it found it's way to the kitchen and with only 1 baby belling oven placed on top, it is transforming into a banana day by day. In my bathroom is another ikea product, this time their washroom mirror cabinet. After jus a couple of month's usage, the metal part which was originally coated with paint started to rust.
  16. You are right, silicone can only cut. May take some time and effort though. But breaking it sound really ridiculous. Dangle at the Ah neh 100 bucks and give him 1 whole day. See if he can remove or not.
  17. Actually, I won't recommend keeping your items with a company for too long. Imagine the hassle should they decide to close down. Best is arrange for delivery asap or pay a very low downpayment to minimise your risks.
  18. Yup, after going through all the materials, find that genuine leather is the best for me. Most likely getting a full leather from Navinzi as they seem to have the best workmanship backed with a 5 year warranty.
  19. I think u don't have to show idA the quote but you dun have to simply accept his higher price too. Maybe jus mention to idA another firm quote lower and see if he can give you a discount to get the job. If he agrees on a 2-3k discount then everybody wins lor
  20. Sama sama lah i think. nowadays so many diff synthetic materials. PVC, PU leather, rebonded leather, Techno leather. All fancy names come out. Think will stick to genuine leather then. Anyone got their sofas from navinci? Their pxes are reasonable and the build seems q gd leh. St Louis has gd half leather ones too.
  21. Dear all, We have jus started seaching for a sofa for our new place. As we did not want to risk any allergies caused by dust, we decided on a leather L shaped. However, seems there are many designs out there that we like but available only in "Techno Leather", "Re-bonded leather" etc all which means PVC put simply. Though I must say some did such a good job I was fooled. Anyone using this sofas? Are they really very warm as claimed by many? Thanks in advance
  22. Hey Buzz, I'm not too sure too but it seems it's usually 1mth odd bet 1st appt and collection of keys. Anyone else can shed light on this? thanks
  23. Man, that's alot of pink there. btw, how did you find out your date for handing over of keys so soon? I thought the date will only be fixed on the first appointment itself?
  24. Hi Suzanne, that's really alot done in the 3 wks. My Wife and I have gotten ourselves a resale EA and like you, we are on a tight schedule for reno. I was looking at Ho Bee but it seems they are perpetually tied up so Mr Lim sounds good in this case. Do you mind sharing the total cost of your reno? cos that's pretty much wat we need to do up too. Thanks
  25. Sofa (but in black) hi magmag, your sofa is nice. mind sharing where and how much you bot it for? thanks
