Hitachi washing machine (8 kg)

Hitachi Eco-Friendly washing machine SF-80KJ

The environmental interest on global warming effect have lead to many companies seeking ways to be more earth friendly and energy efficient.  This is a new model of washing machine introduced by Hitachi, with Eco-friendly operation (used less water and less energy). 

All along we have hand-washed our clothes, until we moved to our new unit.  We have no experience in using washing machine before, unable to comment on its function compared to other brand washing machines.  However so far, we have used this washing machine for several times, and can say we are definately satisfied with its performance :)

Fanco ceiling fan with 5 light kits

 

Ceiling fan closed up shot


Our living room did not install aircon unit.  A celing fan is another option, and it offers a low cost alternative as compared to aircon.

We chose Fanco ceiling fan (series FF404, size 54"), comes with 5 aluminium blades and have it fitted with 5 light kits.

Remote control is available, but we decided to go for the manual function.  As shown on the pictures, there are 2 pull chains attached with the fan and light.

It is noiseless and ceiling fan provide better circulation of wind as compared to standing fan.  So far so good, we have no complaint :)

DIY Window Films to protect privacy

Nowadays with limited land and space, the flat and houses are built close to each other, resulting in a lost of privacy for some residential property. Neighbour be able to overlook your kitchen, or even your bedroom due to the close distance between the houses. Our service yard area overlooked the corridor, so there is not much privacy.

We do not want to spend expensive money to change the clear window of the kitchen and so decided to DIY on the window films. They are easily to clean, removable and reuseable.

First we measured size of the windows we want to cover up, the length and breath are recorded down on a piece of paper, also jot down the number of pieces of window films we need. Then we go down to a DIY shop to have them take down our film's measurement and told them the number of pieces we need for the particular measurement, and they will cut the window films accordingly to our needs.

When at home, we get ready these items:- soapy utensil washing detergent, have it mixed it with water and pour the mixture into a spray bottle, a plastic window blade and a pen-knife.

Follow these steps as directed by the DIY shop owner :-

1. Cleaned the window glasses. Spray the mixture content from the spray bottle on the entire window, to make it wet and slippery.
2. Carefully moved the cut window film on the slippery glass to it exact location and position.
3. Use the plastic window blade to adjust the film on the glass and to scrape off the bubbles downright under the film.
4. A pen-knife may be necessary to trim off the little excess measurement of window film at the glass corner edge.
5. And once done, let the window film dry up for awhile.
6. Do the same steps from 1 to 5 doing the same for the next window glass.

Master Bedroom, Curtain or Roller Blind?

Master Bedroom completed

  For the master bed-room, we decided on roller blinds, also considering the bedroom comes with a bay window. We can enjoyed the luxury of seating on the bay seat admiring the day and night scenery.  Roller blinds are easier to manage than curtain.

Whether to install curtain or roller blind for my new house?  After some consideration, we decided to do a Full Length Day & Night Curtain (Beige tone) for the big windows in our living room, more presentable and cosy look.

6 seaters Dining set

This 6 seaters Dining set from Courts is a good buy, that time was on sale, cost us only S$699. The seat covers were bought from a lovely country-style store, Lovely DeArt located in Causeway Point. Have bought these beautiful 6 pieces flowery-print seat covers to beautify the dining set, a touch of country-style's look. To protect the foot of the chairs, we have bought `chair leg covers' from Daiso store to complete the look of our humble dining set.

From the store, Lovely DeArt, we also bought a flowery-print floor cotton mat to place outside the toilet. The shop imported many pattern designs from Australia, however each particular design the owner only carry a few pieces which made it very unique, so we are considered very lucky to be able to buy the total number of cushion seat covers we need to complete the dining setting.

Composite Granite Kitchen Sink

When doing our new kitchen sink, we look for functional and easy maintenance. Composite stone sink met this expectation, and it is starting to gain popularity in the market. We chose granite composite sink with matte finish look. The plus points with this engineered material type of sink is they are stratch and heat resistant, very easy to maintain, the grease stain from the dirty utensils and cooking oil can be washed away very easily. On the mounting of our new sink, we decided to go for the`under mount' type, more functional from a cleaning stand-point. With the service provided by our contractor Dash'in Interior, our new kitchen sink is perfectly done.

Daiso store - The peep is prevented

Our main door comes with a in-built wide angle door viewer, with it we do not have to strain our eyes to peep, and are able to have a sharp clear image of the outside stranger. However, we also noticed that from the passageway area, we also can glanced through and can see the interior of our house.

This item`view-block' gave us privacy. With it pasted on the back of the door, privacy is guaranteed. It helps to keep away unnecessary attention from strangers. A cheap and must buy item from Daiso store.

Cuizino (CUI 8.3 VCGB)

We just moved to a new house, has just completed our renovation. The gas cooking appliance was bought from Cuizino, the hob is crafted in safety tempered glass, 3 burner zones, and 3 front control knobs. I read somewhere that 3 burner zones are good in Fengshui for luck too. Put aside Fengshui, most important is this appliance is safety to use, safety valve prevent leakage of gas.

Two weeks ago, I have problem with one of the burner, unable to ignite even though I tried several times. My husband called for servicing, since it is with a year of warranty service. The service technician checked my stove, and squatted down to check the battery.

Upon checking, he said "Madam, it just a simple fixing error, someone did not placed the flame dividers into their correct position, causing the burner problem." And he happily leave my house, as it just a simple job :)
