hi cat,

did you buy the blum parts yourself or through your ID? if thru ID, how much did your ID charge u for the blum? if you buy yourself, does your ID charge you extra for installing?

Hi joseeng,

I actually went to Hong Li (Upper Thomson) and get the Blum quote.. decided to buy them and pass to ID.

Then my ID told me his co also Blum dealer (then I realise I saw stickers n Blum gadgets in their showrm), he told me he will charge me dealer prices and installed for me... so I leave to ID.

Macbart have got a good price fm Viborg Trading, tel 63662278. You may want to call them, cos it seems the prices fm them is the cheapest and best part, they delivered. Hong Li is self collect and all these can be really heavy.

i love all the blum blum and the well thought work/meal table top in the kitchen...very nicely planned....even with so much carpentries, your place doesn't look cramped...

[Guest Goobii]

wow... bro ... tat;s alot of carpetry .... look very nice....

build-in worth alot for resale market.... make sure you maintain it and it will fetch higher valuation in future...

i think the fan is very very unique... but if not very windy and for design only.. i think is quite a waste of money...

anyway aircon plus the fan will serve it purpose... to cool down the whole place...

Went to get my doorbell today:

Doorbell n Legrand switch:

Initially wanted to buy the wireless type, but was advised it spoil easily, so in the end I got the one with wired.

Went up to new place and they started painting today

ID told me this wed, electrician will install the lights and ceiling fan and doorbell

Hi Cat

I saw a small Legrand wired door using 3 AAA batteries cost $30 plus at HomeFix Compasspoint.

The wired door bell you bought is what brand and what are the batteries size ?

[macbart 0]

wow, must let me know yr 'experiment', hehehe...cos I tik I very prone to use the hob, the oven and on air-conditioning at the same time, hehehhe

U mean for the induction hob, have to put in oil in pan first then it will heat up? Funny hor? Cos most cooking programme always ask u to heat up the pan first then put in oil, hehhehehe

It will heat up. But induction heats up the pot/pan quickly. I can't remember where I read this, but I remember that it's better to start with oil/water in the pot rather than adding them to an empty pot. I guess if a pot/pan is really hot and we pour in oil or water, it could splash? Er... I'll see if I find that info that I read.

Hi ninja,

The small Legrand wired door bell, the SA told me difficult to remove the cover to change batteries, have to use something to poke open, so I didnt get that.

Yes, I got both the Legrand door bell switch and Festival door bell (easlier to remove cover change batteries) fm Home Fix Compasspoint. Batteries is not AAA but 2 big ones (SA will tell u which to buy).

The Festival door bell comes in 4 different designs, I choose the plain 1 cos easier to clean. There is 1 with lines protruding designs, I like that then realise will trap dust easily so didnt get that.

Yes, even when I went to Tangs to get my induction wok, the SA also told me heat distubute evenly very fast.

I tried induction cooking before,but it seems that the heat is not easily control unlike using gas.

thats why now i am using gas.got a bit different bah.

Rondy,

My mum have a 1 cooker induction, but difficult to control the heat cos heat up very fast.

The model that macbart n me got, is the high end type which u can precise control with temperature. Like macbart mentioned : It's much easier to caramelise onions without burning them.
