Did alot of damage at courts tampines today.Bought a new tv, fridge and Washing machine.

The TV we bought is a promotional set (only 10 sets) . We think is a bargain therefore bought it, Samsung LA40M81BX..heehee.However no free gifts attached due to too cheap as per the salesman.

The Washing machine is Tecno TWA 880s. Hmm..seems a reasonable deal which includes a $70 ntuc courts voucher + a 30L Electric oven..This model is make in Korea. We heard is a pretty good power saving washer .Quite quiet too for a Auto washer

As for the Fridge, We decided to choose Fisher and Payel as this is quite a established brand in fridge industry. It flexibility in changing the position of tempered glass shelves makes us decided this is the one that we need. However as according to the salesman, there could be a change of production plant. Usually,they are manufactured in New Zealand but the salesman is saying that they are moving to Thailand due to cheap labour cost. Hope our fridge is a Kiwis. haha

Thanks alot ,Dear neighbours..Welcome any comments or talks here.Good luck in all your planning and renovation works.

Well, my skirting for the living room is also using the brown parquet type laminates homo.Hope the contrast is good . My living room tiles is abit pinkish.I guess the pic is not clear enough . Will be posting more along the way.

My tilers told me that by next fri,they are able to complete the tiles.We do not know they are working today .When we reached our unit, we were shocked to see our door open. After opening the doors, saw my tilers at full force working. we were very surprised as they are supposed to start tomolo. Will be buying hao liao for them next time when we visit them as a form of reward for their commitment..heehee.

My air con guys are coming in on 24/12 to do trunking works. Well,quite a Bz week ahead .Hopefully all turns out good.

Well, there will be no special tiles for the entrance as we felt that the foyer is too small .If we purposely create a special tiles for it, it will makes the house looks more smaller .We guess we prefer a uniformity tiles color.As for the skirting, we will be using our bedroom tiles for the whole house.
