Kitty's Cattery

Hee hee....next you shop for bigger fridge, better get a big cake box see whether can fit inside or not.

Useful when u have kids in future, sure almost everything will conveniently get stuffed inside!

talking about those big fridge.....when i saw the GREEN STICKERs all stating over 1000kw - I run for my life.

I still got this phobia after my old lousy LG fridge suck me $40+ (electricity ONLY excluding all other charges) every mth. Got to know it when I retired it - PUB bill immediately went down by $40+

hehehe last time when i stayed alone i had a 400+ litre ariston fridge

filled it with drinks but now the fridge so small all my drinks cannot put inside

so most important thing is must have lots of space for my can and bottle drinks

nice

next time when i got money will hack away all the skirtings

not all big fridges are electricity suckers bah

last time i stayed alone, with washer and dryer one month utilities $50 nia

but my fridge only 400+ litres, may not be that big

same feeling here! all same same;

no offense to those who have them -

1) L shape sofa

- sick and tired of seeing it. the trend is dying now.

2) wrought iron gate

- machiam de facto standard by HDB

3) Refrigerator concrete base

- who still washes their kitchen with BIG SPLASH FLOODs of water in this era ? my house is not a hawker centre, we are using a MOP!

4) Side skirting for walls

- I have enough of lizards in my parent's house. cos with the skirtings, there is always a gap between the wall and cabinets, desks....creating a HUGE playground and big house for lizards and spiders.

Oppps :- I will be having concrete base wor ... hmm.. think i better omit it and the skiritings for the walls..

simply hate lizards !

Wah..bro MaCe ur skirtingless floor is

And like what applefreak mentioned, it's true not all big fridges has high energy consumption.

Even if have smaller fridge, it's the habits (eg. opening fridge doors too often and taking a very long time to close back, etc.) & usage patterns (eg. not cooling foods & drinks first before putting in fridge, etc.) that contributes to the high electricity. In fact, there are many other energy hogs - like the steam iron, air-con, electric oven, dryer - not just the fridge alone.

no lah, it's the phobia - scare scare lah.

me very energy saving one -

1) never use a electric kettle = number 1 culprit

2) use lots of energy saving bulbs , those 5watts type

3) use fan instead of aircon - unless really too hot.

better think of those comments first - they claim if I mop the floor, when the mop KENA the walls - will have lots of dirty water marks.

As all my walls are painted with nippon EASYWASH - i did see anything for the last 2 mths.

If you are using other types of paint - i dunno hor.

I'm guilty of #3

For #4, I didn't hack the original flooring.

no lah, dont say like dat - most of us just gong gong follows what the contractor says lor.

me also first time own a house, it's just that I am beri rebellious - always ask WHY must do this WHY must do that.

ya me too not doing base for w/m n fridge.. was it a south-east-asia style to wash the kitchen tat way? cos even during my grandparent's era they didn't do tat too.. cos using too much water n it is a waste.. they jus diligently wipe with a damp cloth at most if too oily add a little detergent to the water.. now of cos "upgrade" to using a mop la.. no more kneeling n wipe with the cloth.. hahaa.. but reason y i dun want the base is cos i tink very difficult to move out the w/m or fridge if in case spoil liao need to change.. got to watch tat step.. aiyah..

but i nvr think much abt the floor skirting leh.. indeed a good point to note leh.. thank u mace..

hmm..no need to thank lah - cos some pple actually dont agree on this - quite subjective.

to me, not ONLY lizards and spiders made the GAP their home also the dust - you can see but you cannot reach and once our furniture are placed who will go and remove them just to clean the dust behind?

ya! use gas to boil water lah - it's really a lot cheaper.

electric kettle, vacuum cleaner, microwave oven, aircon, hairdryer, ironing - they drink electricity like fish.

my house-

electric kettle(didnt buy) = use gas to boil water

vacuum cleaner = use feather duster to sweep first, then for those fine dust, use vacuumcleaner to suck them up.

microwave oven = try to use gas/hot water to warm up stuffs instead.

aircon = try to use the fan

hardryer = didnt buy

ironing = use steam ironing - novita

err...not to freak u out (excuse the pun ).....but the part abt first popped after 12 mn 1st day 7th month sounds freaky...very night can hear popping sound? dat means everynight got tiles pop out?

anyway i love cats too...but my wife dun like...

[applefreak 1]

every year seventh month also got weird sound

e.g. one year was pots shifting on the stove - you know the sound when you drag a heavy pot on the stove? another year was the sound of hangers being pulled on the metal rod

me believe in ghost but not really afraid of them

think the cement is 'shifting' that's why my downstairs neighbour can hear the sound everynight

the tiles are shifting slightly everyday but will only see the difference if we pay very close attention
