eipsy 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) I went down to the PC show today at around 12pm and was lucky to ave bought a Samsung 40" full hd tv LA40N81BX for $1699 . Supposedly 1st 50 sets only. I also bought a 32" Samsung tv for $899. They gave me a $200 robinsons vouchers as well. You guys should check out the other brands too for other offers. I went to the PC show too...my hubby 'succumbed' to the sales tactic at samsung (gain city) booth...and we bought a 40' full HD TV (series 5) for $2,399. Freebies include a $400 robinsons voucher and a 22' Samsung LCD TV. Dunno if its good buy but samsung LCD tv looks really pretty with their slick design. Bubbly - can can...come to visit us with your wife and daughter Darbleu - yah lor, but those outer high floor units were my dream units..but alas, all taken up when its my turn to choose...mj will be at my hse and you go and install a pool table at your hse lah so that you guys no need to go round the island looking for those smoky places for pool games...hahaha DSA - you got a nice, high view too! your unit looks higher than mine...maybe same floor as bubbly...maybe you two can see each other from your flat! lovelee - if you are a very good mj player, you are not 'welcome' hahaha we would not want to lose $$$ to you...we only welcome amateur players...heehee..

eipsy 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) Actually herbman are pretty right in reno cost. Must learn to save for the raining days.. Like my colleague mentioned, no point spending too much on reno, $15k is enuf.. I have met up with a few IDs and went to their showrooms. My deadline for choosing the ID is by end of June. me not hacking floors/ overlaying tiles...even the IDs discourage me from doing that... This is list of 'compulsory' things I need to do: 1. Window grilles for all windows plus windows for service yard 2. Kitchen cabinet, sink, cooking area 3. Painting works 4. Electrical re-wiring for my Tv sockets 5. Built in wardrobe for MBR 6. Cabinet for MBR bathroom 7. Bifold door for MBR bathroom (for convenience reasons) 8. Glass door for kitchen 9. Plumbing works for sinks 10. Fridge base, washer base etc. optional 1. False ceiling for living/ dining room/ MBR (on one hand, I think false ceiling is really extra, on the other hand, I m really a bit particular about lighting effects) will i be able to find nice lights without false ceiling? sigh... 2. Shower screens (I m still undecided) 3. Feature walls for living room and MBR (I can just do with a movable tv console, its my hubby who is still considering..) Did i miss out anything for the 'compulsory' list? (I m assuming all other appliances will be installed by the delivery persons, e.g.aircon) Edited June 18, 2008 by eipsy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSA 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 DSA - you got a nice, high view too! your unit looks higher than mine...maybe same floor as bubbly...maybe you two can see each other from your flat! The view from my MBR has sound effects! From the passing MRT trains! Not that high, just reasonably. Yea, I think it's higher than yours but lower than Bubbly's. And yes, we can see each other from the windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
