Sometimes when u want something to spoil , it just doesn't, at my ex home, we had the biggest CRT lasted 8yr, never wanna spoil, till I tell my hb, we r the last fam in sg, using such big CRT. And he even dare to say wanna bring to new hm. I almost wanted to faint.. Luckily 1mth be4 move out, it decided to retire by itself.. Hah

How true! I've been hoping for my CRT TV to spoil but it is still working well 7 years into its service :(

LOL... so far those CRT in my parents place all lasted more than 10 years. So very value for monies. Their last CRT already showing sign of failure, so going to wait for next Show in June to buy them a new one. (anyway, they always have 2 TV side by side, ON from morning till night..... so very very wu hua ; p )

So here comes the taobao stuff, shipping alone 380 bucks.

Pattex wall protector, said to enhance wallpaper adhesive, didn't saw in SG so got to import, packing looks good

The wallpapers, I wonder if I really have time to put them up. Haven't open the packing but it looks ok from outside

7109783845_6f030b0767.jpg

Then, the LED spotlights. White colour so it looks pretty, seems broken when received, so I applied adhesive glue to fix back the bulb etc. Quality? solid, hopefully it works

The LED ceiling lights, looks ugly than expected, I got 2 units, 1 for service yard the other for the study room

Wine glass rack, to be fixed below the wine rack (shown below). Quality looks ok, very cheap also

7109789467_6e3276894a.jpg

Wine rack, kind of dissappointment, quality is not good in considering the amount I paid (think about $20)

7109792907_50fd4d3d93.jpg

Another LED spotlights, initially wanted to put up a L-box at TV console, then changed our mind subsequently, so this one will be placed along the walkway. There is a beam at the walk way ceiling, so we cover up a small area will a gypsum board to align with the ceiling, then instal 2 of this spotlights (i know hard to imagine...)

7109791201_4544831aec.jpg

Nothing much to talk about the quality, I think it is just ordinary stuff

7109794485_b95e327305.jpg

Picture frames, I think there are 20 frames in total, 3 in red, the rest in black. With the amount we spent, I think this is a good buy

The pretty dinning light, the frame

the crystals for the dining light

and, the end product

7109809147_f59ce8917f.jpg

the electrical uncle told us that the light maybe too heavy and require a better support, and he quoted me $60 for something that gonna fix on the ceiling before installing the light. Do you guys think necessary? Any advice will be appreciated.

the original bulb which I accidentally broken its leg

6963730586_2391092aa4.jpg

luckily i got purchased some spare bulb, the light needs only 3 and i bought 6, really kiasu :dribble:

Forgot to say, the dining light looks very good and it really worth the $$$

Photo taken yesterday night with flash light, picture quality not so good

The HH6310 hood, uncle leave a gap of 64cm between the hob and hood, we think it is too low and ask the uncle to adjust higher to 70cm, uncle wasn't happy at first but we keep insist till he obliged :dancingqueen:

The bowl and cabinet at MBR toilet, short of money so not using solid top for the sanitary cabinet, just plywood laminate only. The mosaic looks nicer than in picture.
