Junkay 1 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 That's my point exactly. If we the consumers stress HDB they will in the end stress the contractors. Or maybe they know they hire the lowest quote thats why they keep quiet until we bark. But we still have to highlight to them and make it known to their biggest client..us.

Been bio-ing since I 1st started my lights shopping but cldnt find a spot to put it. Wantd to put it in the scvs balcony but den we created a foyer area near entrance. This globe is nw out-of-pdtn ored (as I went bac n tried to buy a 2nd pc... )Another closer up picture of my globe-globe...Another closer closer up picture of my globe-globe....heehee, pls kindly bear with the repetitive pictures n any slow downloading... I just love globe-globe too much... Adjustable!Next, another FAV of Greycat n BrownMse, our dining light! In warm light, background downlight switched off so got mre atmosphere..., bac of picture is passageway..Closer up.. Light reflects a Y-shape in a circle on ceiling becuz it is a Y-shape inside the lights...Finally, the light when switched off....wire nt adjusted yet, i think uncle hafnt adjust properly...Then smemre pictures of my WIW lights...pls bear with repeating pictures s I put them closer up....Due to height constraint, I dint buy a chandelier n abt 13 of the rm will be taken by wardrobe + curtains in future...Closer up...but lights switched onEven closer up.....can see the bulbs?Lights switched off...now can see? hehehe And lastly, sme boring pictures to end the night...My HUGE storage heater in common toilet....well its huge n ugly, but oso bcuz of its location, I dint need to put alot of pipings in my kitchen, plus I get to have "concealed" showersystem in mr MBR toilet becuz they r back to back....$138 shower set frm HoeKee (minus mixer)...gd buy!
