    i'm staying on 3rd floor for more than one month. no problem with that.

    i think there are many other attributes of a good unit.

    like, next door neighbours, outside view (blocked/unblocked), nearby source of noise (playground, basketball court kindergarten etc), facing mainroad/cross junctions, east/west sun ETC...

    i leave my curtains close most of the time and i dun/can't feel which floor i'm at so it doesn't bother me.

    surprisingly, there's no mosquitoes problem. but there're those teeny weeny flies which irritates me so much until i started burning lavender essential oil. the smell seems to keep them away.

    i still take the lift tho. keke.. lazy hor....

    anyway, there's nothing to be regretful. buying a new house is a happy event. enjoy!!

    i hv a colleague who was also asked to let them have 1 full album (+ small albums etc) as their shop sample album when their photo came out. and the bridal shop gave them the whole package free. including providing wedding gowns, tux, bridal car to them.

    but the shop had juz open for biz (was at marina sq) so needed some decent sample. and after that both him and his wife (both working at same coy) brag until every1 get so tired of looking at their photos or hear wat they say. :unsure::P:D

    but there's conditions and they had to sign some sort of agreement. some of it was (as i heard) to sign agreement to let the shop hv the full copyrights and they can advertise in any place as they deem fit, they are to go to areas, pose according to their photographer instructions and they have to do many days of photographing for outdoor if there's any weather change and the photos may not come out nice.

    wow... everything free!:wub: my photos are also fully own by the BS now, for just 4 extra digital. sigh.... your fren's so lucky!:P

    but frankly speaking, singapore got not many places to go to. posing also those few poses only. should be the same one la. at least she can choose her own gowns rite? again, so lucky!:(

    heh heh... for me, house-warming is just to let ppl (frens n relatives) to see your new house. bcos ppl know you move house, so naturally they will want to know how your new house look like mah... i din do house warming tho. had a small gathering over cny and had red wine spilled on my white wall and floor, and my virgin mahjong table soaked in beer. cannot imagine if as many as 100 ppl come in a day.... keke... :unsure:

    Hi all,

    I have moved in and found that that hanger is necessary. The outside hanger is basically not sufficent at all. When I wash a full load of bath towel, I have to utilise all outside hangers and 1 row of kitchen hanger.

    However, it is a bit ugly loh and my hubby and me already knocked our head against the hanger a few times.

    keke... i have no problem cos i'm shorter than it. opps.... my hubby also has no problem cos he much much taller than it. keke..... it's not that ugly. after some time, our house will turn also ugly naturally by itself... haha...

    Hi JAZZ

    As I will be consulting FSM...so guess I will strictly follow fsm advice on the colour for the cabinet.

    But confirm my cabinet colour will be very very light.

    HAPPY

    mine is sycamore with black galaxy. will look nicer with milky solid top but i insist on adding some "hardness" to match my s/s fridge. haha... and also, i love granite too much to change it to solid top.

    not at all... i also doing very simple , no false ceiling, l-box, but have wardrobe la so esti cost overall is $17k but if no wardrobe almost 11k... haahahahh almost the same...

    afterall, it's what we as owner feel...

    Also, i was thinking if yours is 10k, mine can be around there too.. cos' ours is simple one... hmmmmm

    shsss.... my reno cost is only a 4-digit number!:furious:

    but i cheated cos it doesn't include laminate flooring, lighting and wardrobe. :P

    Simpleboi,

    Simple itself is beautiful... :) Your house is worth alot more already, high floor!:dunno:!:curse:!:bleah:! 8|

    Ya lor, after the renovation, like got to spend even much more and all the few dollars add up become alot more lor.. cos need a lot of things!:lol:!

    even my house low floor and simple reno, but i'm loving it too!! :P

    really ah? heehee eh.........when u buy ah? mind letting me in on who was ure sales man and how much u paid of 'em?

    sorry leh, i dun rem the salesman's name. cos when we went back to the shop, we were served by another guy who quote us a much higher price. that's how we know the first guy quote us the contractor price. anyway, we manage to get back the first lower price. only rem he's a middle age guy(probably early 40s), quite tall, a bit bak bak, and quite neat looking.

    exact price i dun rem but it's ard 1.8k. bot < a couple of months ago bah. they did mention that the price is going to increase. oh ya, i went to imm branch, the one beside allbest.

    Anyone has any lobang where to make cheap curtain for a whole flat?

    tailor made curtain not cheap one.

    cheapest is to use readymade curtain... but better to buy from those curtain shop, cos sometimes they use leftover material (good one) from other customers' tailormade and sew them into ready made. value for money!

    Hi peeps,

    I've narrowed down my aircon selection to getting the Mitshibitshi Easy Clean Non-Invertor System 3.

    But now the problem lies......who to get it from?

    1) All Best

    Cheapest of them all, however, reviews are very mixed. Kinda scared of them after reading the neg reviews on the workmanshipcustomer service and problems specially on other forums like singap*rebrides.com :jawdrop:

    2) Gain City

    Prices are the highest however the reviews are alright. Service depends on the sales guy and where u ask? e,g, @ Marina Sq or IMM :jawdrop:

    3) C**lServe

    Pricing is mid range between the 3 of them and customer service is good. But how come canot use the full name on renotalk ah? hmmm :deal:

    The price diff between them is about $100 - $200 after all the insulation upgrades are added.

    I just wan to have a good installation done without any future problems.

    What do u guy think? Any comments or advise? Or any other places you would recommend?

    i got the same system as you from gain city. their price is lower than allbest leh, cos i think the nice guy gave us contractor price for no reason.... we still thot he bluff us.

    hahahaha... i think u shld have asked for more... heh... since they r goin to use ur face... shld ask for more photos... heee... maybe 10... also additional gown change ... or 2 potraits... 1 full page 1 3in1 frame...

    wow!! really??? they say other ppl they only give discounts for them to top up, no free photos...

    i should have known... these bridal studios are so ngiao and money minded... afterall, we paid for the photos to be taken (gown rental, make up, photography) with our own money. really should have asked for more things.

    yeah the window handles, we open and closed many times, 3 screw covercaps dropped off

    most of the handles have cement on it, is this considered a defect?

    Happy...thanks for the tips! i m on level 9...

    i din open n close many times leh. just normal use loh. reach there open windows, leave there close windows... but they loosen so easily. one of it can even rotate 360 degrees!:dunno:!

    by my definition, wadever thing i'm not satisfied i'll report as a defect, including wadever stain there is. haha... my hubby kept saying "this one can clean one can clean one..." i told him if can clean, it's also they clean, not me. the pros have the tools and chemicals to clean. i only have detergent.... :notti:
