[Narmi]

Thanks Narmi,

Im looking for the

Juz wanna brighten up the home.

My JB n other home looks cool with pure white.

Wanna apply same concept to hdb too.

How to ask for pure white ah?

Whats the qty needed for hdb?

Ap

Pure white is the easiest to buy cos they no need to mix. I bought orchid white. Just ask for pure white no need mixing one. They have in the catalogue. Price the same tho with my orchid white or any other kind of white variation. If just your hdb living room AP u need only 1x 5 litre. Mine is 5room hdb. Not sure if u need more than 1 coating tho.

Narmi, thanks for sharing your experience. You sure managed to give the scammer the slip. Good on you!

I hope this will really raise the awareness. It was the first time I actually heard about this scam.

How do you decide if you need more than one coat?

Thanks man for reply n info.

For smaller rooms whats the reqd qty?

And if you paint a second coat will it look too thick?

Also i heard there are three finishes chalky, matt n gloss.

Which to choose sia?

Headache man

I aso dunno.

Few days back weekday 9am driving out of Tropika major jam from sales office to immigration office.

Why ah? I aso dunno....

Traffic hardly moved...

Btw how do ppl come to the immigration office? In cabs? Cars?

Hardly see any bus coming in??

Pardon my curiosity. What happened? :O

Ok so i can get taps at Ntuc/homefix/econflow/ and the one mentioned by ginfreely

Those that you get from NTUC or Homefix is better in quality and value for money. If you want really good ones, you can go visit Hoo Kee at Katong shopping centre(if I didn't remember wrongly), the place where there are a lot of curtain shops? Its at the ground level. Use to be a Yokosho there.

If you want premium good ones, you can go to Econflo. Just Google them. I know them cause I used to work in a construction company.

P.S. : I don't have anything to gain from this.

 

[Analytical Professor]

Yes i heard this is a good brand

Can try Sim Siang Choon, bought a mixer tap from there before, price and quality quite ok.

The paint only comes in 1 litre or 5 litre for pple like u n me. Got bigger that comes in a pail-like container (25litre i think) but usually the contract painter buy them. If ur current paint is also white then 1 coating shd suffice. If double coating wont look thick btw. Wat kind matt gloss or chalky for me the diff is very little. Ur chox but i will choose matt or gloss/satin. If all ur rooms white then u may want to consider the biggest one tho may not have the 20% disc but u shd still save $. I suggest dun overbuy cos if got extra will be waste of $ if not enough then buy somemore lor. Sometime u need only a bit more than 5 litre then get d 1 litre one.

 

[Narmi]

Yes i heard this is a good brand

Go to the sim siang choon HQ showroom at changi business park near spore expo. Free parking, comprehensive selections and ready supply. If u go to their branch eg at IMM may out of stock n need to order but over at the Main showroom wic is their own buildg they just go to their stockpile at d back hehhe sure have unless supply of that model no more.

 

[Analytical Professor]

Thanks Wuqi.

I would go for this, paint seems to be cheaper here but need to shop around, perharps the hardware store near Nusa Idaman near the Hot Kitchen cafe(very nice chicken wings there btw)

Hi sis cathy

The name of the place is Tanjong Katong Complex. The hoe kee store is grd floor beside the escalator, beside the entrance cannot miss one. They have another outlet at Jalan Besar area near the hawker centre. When i got my sg hse 11 yrs ago i bought the bathtub, sink (blanco) and mixer. Till now works fine tho at that time i thinkg i can get cheaper somewhere else. So no regrets

Yap. Thats the one.

Professor. Sorry. The correct place should be Tanjung Katong Complex. You can also get some cheap curtains there.

Bro, if your base paint colour is white, try using single coat 1st..
painting double coat of white is only required if you can still see the original base paint..
pple usually use matt texture for interior walls unless walls has very smooth texture by plastering..
Try the 1st coat & decide for yourself.. my neighbour actually did his painting himself.. changed the colours a few times though..
