heee sammie, after a while they will give up! last week when we were in europe i was trying on a pair of black flats.. he said "you have more than 3 pairs of shoes that look like that" I just looked at him and smiled :) pity no size coz it was 70% off!

the wardrobe in the MBR was very small, could only fit my stuff, so i told him to use the wardrobe in the 2nd bedroom instead .... no choice to argue coz all my stuff were properly hung up already

you all so good count the number of shoes you have! i never did (or as bf tells me, " afraid to find out how many you really have!")

wah. good tip! except i got no other wardrobe. haha, so i guess i better start shifting most of my clothes over first before he does. better go buy more hangers soon!

same! i told him i need (not want) a pair of black heels and he'll go, but u alr have 3 pairs of black heels! hehe, i'll just go, but none can go well with this & this dress/pants. he just shake head.

70% off and no size?? da*n! if there's a shoe sale, all thoughts of saving are gone, but most of the time also no size, cos i wear size 34/35. :( i just missed out on a gorgeous pair of Beverly Feldman lacey heels from Hue.

For my built-in oven, my electrician drilled a hole through the upper cabinet, pulled the oven's cable through and connected to the switch above. This switch is actually just drilled onto the cabinet panel, cos there wasn't any outlet catered there during the reno. So he pulled the wire for that switch and connected to the original outlet behind the fridge.

Originally I wanted to use extension cord, connect to the fridge outlet, and superglue/stick it onto the panel and connect the oven, but he laugh and told me not enough power for the oven.

Luckily he didn't follow yr instructions orelse, might trip off each time U do d baking !

Anyway, THX a lot 4 such a clear pic.

I just got my Brandt Pyro FP867 fr H/N delivered 2 my hse ysdday. I got it at $1650 nett with rotissirie :)

Ops ! Thinking of showing U my oven (still in d pack) but I didn't know how to upload d pic.

Am now waiting 4 a 3 level heavy duty stainless stell table 2b in by next week.

Then will b box up my oven (delivered + fix up + placed on top of d table) $170 fr Parisik :) Rinnai charges at $280 + GST !

Then will call an electrician to draw a new line fr d circuilt box to d kitchen & will do it on d wall but just above d oven.

BTW, our Brandt oven will hav a 1 time HOME demo with food that we requested for.

Do U want us to "joint venture" in such a way that yr demo, U invited me & my home demo, U come over so we

hv chances to learn MORE things with our Brandt oven.

Afterall, we R neighbours soon & am quite fomous in education advice in our area here :)

u need to host the pics somewhere such as photobucket, personally i use flickr. i don't know anything about a brandt food demo, is it only valid if you purchase from them directly??

and yup. preheated the oven for about 15-20 mins, just like the manual instructed.

haven't moved in proper yet, will move in after my wedding in november. now i'm just there for the weekends cleaning up, slacking, enjoying my own little private space. do u go to the baking class too? i'll check them out after i move to yewtee.

enjoy ur trip to malacca!!
