HOOTS FOR MY HOOTS
These handphone accessories came in the mail today.
Ordered them from Ebay.
They are for my E71 and dear's 6600 Fold.

Hoots arrived nicely packed.


Nokia charger, E71 screen guard, pink silicon case for the 6600F & leather pouch for E71.


The leather pouch


You pull on the tab to retrieve the phone.



Phone fits comfortably in the pouch, can be a little tighter though for a more snug fitting.



The screen guard.


It comes in the entire shape of the E71 face plate.


Also comes with a good quality cleaning cloth which I'll be keeping in my bag for future cleanings.


Test fitting......looks not bad.


Successfully applied......Perfect fit!!!


Swee swee bo zhao chwee :)


Backlit appears clearly beneath it too.


2.5mm to 3.5mm Jack Convertor

ALL DRESSED UP
Met up with Dear yesterday night at Far East Plaza to sell off her old N73 and brand new W980 to Mobile Square recoup her 6600Fold.
She was on her way to her company's advance Xmas D&D hence she's all dolled up.
Naturally we had to take some pix together :)
(Yes, I know I look very the uncle......)

NOKIA E71
Grey Steel

It's been awhile since I've last used a Nokia phone.
IIRC, it was the 8310 which is now being used by my mum.

Dear has a couple of spare lines for re-con, so I hitched a ride to get my much anticipated E71 from Singtel.
Thanks dear :)

You can find its specs HERE.

I chose the grey steel color over the white color version as I believe frequent handling of the white phone would leave highly visible smudges.



Size comparison with a cashcard.







I just love the qwerty keyboard.
It's something I'd wanted to try out on a handphone for a long time.




The 3.2MP camera isn't much to shout about as its picture quality is not as good as my SE K810i 3.2MP camera.




Both our handsets :)

REVAMPING THE LIVING ROOM

We have been using the same old furniture in the living room since the day we moved in.
That'll be about 20 years ago!!!
Hence it's about time we give it a new lease of life.
Gotta do it before the recession kicks in!!!

The walls and ceiling were given a liliac white paint job before we start ordering in the furnitures.

Besta Burs TV Bench
Ordered it at IKEA Alexandra as the Tampines branch doesn't have it.
The delivery guy from IKEA assembling the unit.






Imfors Coffee Table
I bought it from Tampines IKEA and brought it home via taxi.
Then self assembled it because what can go wrong with a coffee table?

















One regret is that the coffee table is about 1cm taller than the tv bench.
It looks kinda weird right now, we shall see how it matches up when the sofa gets here(which should be taller).

Sharp Aquos 32" LCD Widescreen TV
What's a living room without a TV?
We're now in the era of the LCD TVs and I've gotta keep up!






























Sofa from Defu Furniture
My mom had always wanted an L-shaped sofa so that she can relax in it which watching tv.
So now's the time for a change.
Originally it comes in a variety of felt-like fabric colors for you to choose from but my mom opted for the PU leather which she believes it can be more easily maintained.
We selected light beige and red for the sofa covers.





Dining Table from Defu Furniture
Actually we've ordered a nice looking dining table from vhive in early Oct.
It was temporary out of stock and they said that it'll come in early Nov.
We waited and waited, called and visited vhive......until mid Nov......but they still couldn't give us a clear status of the dining table.
Hence I got back my full refund on my made deposit and headed off to Defu with mom to check out it's selection of dining tables (though they're slightly more pricey).
My mom had her sights on this dining table set and so we ordered it.
It had stock and was delivered in 3 days time :)
