Nex 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Hahha.. Cos my ID bao electrical works & switches, so change loh. Anyway, already charged for it.. I giv u mine loh, but must wait for them to change the switches. Duno when.. C if u wana wait loh.. Ever since spending money for reno, furnishing. Sourcing of curtains is the one I hate most.. Very sian one.. Now I have phobia for CURTAINS.. U go to curtain shop c their materials, all no pricing one. Den when u c someting nice, they said its a better quality type & have to top up how much how much blah blah blah.. How u justify the top-up amount aso very ambiguous. So good ur MIL settled curtain for u. I signed up wif Jimmy Textiles liao. Duno is it reasonable or not.. Btw, anyone here looking for this kinda storage racks? Can MO.. L3x hmmm.... yah lor, since he alr charge u in the package le... but seriously, u can give mi ar!?!? haha... tats very kind of u leh... anyway, i dont need the switches, cos my lighting configurations nw cannot use those normal one-way switch, so that one sure need to buy one... but if u have the double outlet, (the one that is at the kitchen walls one, to plug in ur cooker and fridge ones) that would be good.... cos i need 3!! haha... if i m not wrong, u can give mi, the 2 at kitchen ones, and the one in ur living... thanks in advance... BTW, i not in a hurry la... so let mi know when u r ready to pass mi lor... heehee... talking abt the curtain, wat u say is very true lor... like any other stores, the person attending to u one, can tell u a lot a lot of reasons to convince u tat wat u r paying for is worth the price, but how much do pple like us know abt the origin and materials tat were used in the products?? haha... c nice nice then buy le wat, rite?? as for the rack... eh... i dont think i m getting the "metal" kind... dont know y oso... haha... thankx for the offer of MO...

My ID said dun waste the door & money, use 2 yrs or so den decide wana change or not.. He changed the door knobs & do some simple design for my doors. I aso feel quite wasted to change it since nothing is wrong wif it. Furthermore, our doors shd not affect the outlook of the living & dining cos its 'hidden' at the common area. But its still up to individuals, unless u really loathe the doors so much. Mayb u can paint it 1st, den add some designs later on. If really still cannt make it, den change the door loh..
