A little update, we found the electrician whom previously did up my brother's place. He quoted us 30% cheaper and of course we have settled for him.

Anybody has any curtains/blinds contacts to share?

I am engaging clementi Kian Seng curtain for our roller blind, was recommended by a fren. you may give them a try.

Bought some blinds from qoo10, found it to be cheap and good. Seller is rosandeco and you might type in horizontal blind to search

Could you share your electrician contact?

Thanks all for the blinds suggestion, we will be looking at them.

We have also a relative recommend one they have used to us.

Doris, I have PM-ed you.

Hi Huiqing He,

Can I have your contact for the electrician as well? thanks.

Hi musicpls,

PM-ed you

We were caught by surprise today, we confirmed with our electrician 2 days ago and on the day we confirmed he actually arranged with my ID to meet today.

We thought they were going to discuss what needs and how to be done, but just after 2pm this afternoon my ID sent my these.

Low and behold...

And we are almost done with the wiring! Talk about efficiency! Hubs and I are still quite amused.

Sharing our Taobao lighting buys today. Fortunately for me, the hubby is into Taobao shopping and I just have to give him the link and he will do the rest. Including comparing the pricing of forwarders. He managed to find out that Peeka offers sea freight based on actual weight if you are using their forwarding service. This definitely saves us a lot of money because some of the lights are packed in bulky packaging for protection but aren't really heavy. Because of this, we saved about $60 for the shipping of our dining light. The hubby also prefers to order and send stuff in batches, he says, "don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Thanks for the fast action to provide the contacts!

hannya2407,

How's the light? We don't dare to put hanging lights in toilet, in case of swinging towels, haha.

Hi Huiqing,

I'm also doing some reno works and am looking for an electrician. Can you forward me your electrician's contact? thanks.

Hi rainc, PM-ed you.

Hi possible to pm me yr electrician too.....

Hi Huiqing,

They work and look good..lol we had the concern too initially, nd still do,, cuz we havent move in yet!!

That's why when the contractor installed the lights in both bathrooms, i requested that he adjust the lights higher up..cuz contractor is ard 18+cm, and his hands can almost reach the light..Lighting adjustment was easy, he showed me that he can easily unscrew and slot the wire highter up into the casement and screw it tight, viola!!

Currently using white light 12W LED E27 bulb, tink after this bulb fuse will switch to warm light to have a more relaxed feel..LOL!

But then again, will need to think if it will be bright enough, as my bathroom interior are all black, except for the floor tiles that is dark grey..
