Last saturday we went to a hardware shop that recommended by my contractor. It's situated somewhere along Changi Road (cannot say where). We walked around, discussed, did some thinking, compared and finally decided to take the following :

1) 2 taps for the bathroom basins.

2) 1 tap for the kitchen basin.

3) 2 mirrors.

4) 2 sets of vanity ware.

5) 2 clothes rack.

6) 2 sets (WC and basin).

7) 1 kitchen basin.

The estimated bill came up to be about $1.7k but this is just a quote subjected to confirmation.

We went to Hafary to pick up the last mosaic piece for the common bathroom. The Mrs had some ideas and picked this out...

The other choices...

We have chosen the darker mosaics for the MBR and thus decided the lighter one will go to the common toilet...

More of our "adventure" later...

Our adventure (cont'd)

The next day we paid a visit to the very much talked about Poh Joo Hardware along Jalan Besar and the list above was very much reduced to just the WC cum basin sets and the taps. The rest of the stuff we just decided to get from Poh Joo as their prices was so much better. We also got 2 Joven instant water heaters (910 & 810).

Was going to get 707 (Protek / Compact) but the price was a bit out of our budget. Will also be getting the kitchen cabinet pull-out roller racks but have to let my contractor measure first. The vanity wares from the first shop was also scrapped. We were able to get individual pieces from Poh Joo so that's what we did. We also got this kitchen basin which would have cost us $380 but now we bought it at $280.

The total bill came up to be around $800 plus. We were very happy that we save quite a bit of money.

Part 3 coming up...

Last part of our "adventure"...

After our very "satisfying" trip to Poh Joo, we headed down to Millenia Walk for the Brandt Oven. When we got there, we headed straight for their European Kitchen showroom. We were attended by their sales person who recommeded us to a Electrolux oven. We were apprehensive about it as we were pretty much fixed on the Brandt. Also the main concern is the price which is something we can afford. We looked around and saw the price on the Electrolux oven. The cheapest one is at $1699.

But he brought us to the home applicances section and showed us this oven.

Model is EOB31001X.

The link is as follows :

http://www.electrolux.com.sg/node38.aspx?p...10561,9664,9663

He explained the functions to us and we were really impressed. Displayed price is at $999 but "our price" is $900. We asked about the extended warranty which is at $145. He gave us a promotion price which is inclusive of the extended warranty at $999. We looked at each other and took the offer. We finally got the oven and the Mrs was looking forward to the all the baking.

Indeed it was a very satisfying weekend for us...

Next on the list... Fujioh hob and hood...

That's coming up on the next update!!!
