Balestier shops have Hansgrohe and Grohe too! Did u dig deeper? You must comb from 1 end to the other like we did.


There's an ID programme on Channel 5 every Tues. There are some lighting sponsors you can take note of. We watch that programme every Tues night to \"kaypoh\" other people's ID A lot of the participants bought fully-furnished condos, yet they want to tear down every wall and cabinet to re-renovate.

Sounds like us....we renovate our place scandi-style.

I have a refill kit for Nespresso.
Just need to add powder but there's no point adding normal coffee powder to the refill kit leh
Hence, need for look for those luwak coffee or exotic beans / blends to make the effort worthwhile.

OT a bit, can I ask where you got the refill kit from? I would love to get it. TIA!

You can buy a tanker from Taobao, a refill kit is small case

http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=537656186520 from Taobao. Same product is available on https://www.amazon.com/RECAPS-Nespresso-Capsules-Refillable-Stainless/dp/B0175SV0US also. Just note that this isn't the same as a ready made capsule, you will need a number of trials to get the grind / amount of coffee right.[/quote]Thanks so much!

Refill kits are cheaper in EU no?

Only about 1 euro per capsule.

Capsules definitely cheaper in EU. Not sure about the refill kits. Haven't seen them around.

Dug. Very deep
But Hansgrohe and Grohe suppliers in DE still offer lower prices after factoring in shipping.

Err... those shows are being \"sponsored\" leh. If they sponsor me, I'll let them tear down my house also.

Hangrohe/Grohe only at the head of Balestier Rd? Years ago, I bought mine from Mohammad Sultan. If you want to ship in, make sure the water pressure at your house is strong enough or else you may not get the shiok shiok effect especially if you intend to install those high-end models with (multi-jet) massaging effect. Note: Water charges going up 30% hor.

For LED downlights, I bought Phillips, from one of those lighting shops in Balestier. Two thumbs up.

I watched the short clip on Facebook. Nice, but given that interior decor is pretty subjective, it may not be realistic to expect others to pay a premium solely on account of the decor, even though one could have spent $100K++ on the renovations

Yes, my currrent place is indeed very convenient. That's why I am pretty stuck.
If I were to buy a 2 bedder now, that would put my upgrading plan on hold. I yearn for a bigger space, getting cramped now.

Since your dd2 is very likely going to that girls' school, you should not look beyond Balestier, Thomson vicinity. If dd1 gets in too, or sticks to the current alma mater, these 2 locations will be ideal as well. Clementi already has many condos currently leased out to overseas undergrads and postgrads, uni staff and lecturers from SP, NP, NUS. There're NUS Staff Apartments at Kent Ridge already, fyi. NHPS, like the forummer said, is always fully taken up by alumni and staff by end of Phase 2A.

Err... Balestier no good still suggest I move there? :pokeeye:

The Clementi one is just my imagination lah, should my girls go NUSH, a unit there would be ideal!

Actually, I m pretty familiar with Balestier as my 1st investment unit was right smack in the middle of Balestier (but has since been enbloc). Cheap and easy to rent out but I had got all sorts of funny tenants (like PRC mistress etc). Even the NTUC at Shaw Plaza is full of FTs. Anyway, Balestier now not cheap so not quite worth it.

I have explored Trevose area, near school but lack amenities. Newton area, there are DTL & NS lines but again, lack of amenities nearby as well. Bishan area, DH doesn't like, deeming it overcrowded. On Novena Hill, to buy an old terrace to rebuild will cost us $4mil (burst budget ). Chancery 99yr cluster looks good but pretty dim street lighting so not quite safe for DDs to walk home at night. We have actually explored quite a bit but have yet to find anything suitable :faint:

lee yl, why in a rush to buy? better pricing as you wait (i hope ) is better right..house so cramped now

I’m quite chill about property now. Look around first. At least let sonny get into secondary school first.
