Why not the material from IKEA? Is it ex to buy from them also? Geylang Serai there a lot of people selling curtain material... the Holly Interiors that mwerkz go quite popular also...

i got my roller blinds from holly interior cos they carry de material there at the cheapest price. place like mgl curtain carry it for 6.50, holly interior carry for 5bucks only =p

but curtain wise, mgl got more materials. so i got it from them. 2curtains night only cost me 900bucks. but mine is huge. one curtain is 5m width X 2.8m height, de other is 3.5m widht X 2.8m height =)

holly interior abit ex to do curtain. cos on top of material cost, there's worksmanship cost of additional 4bucks per meter. so it makes it close to 1200 if i do de same curtain there. n cost of material choosen is only 16bucks, while de material i choose from mgl cost 19.80bucks. suppose to be 1089 at mgl. but they discount, den become 900 =p

paiseh pinkpetter for invading ur thread =p

mm yup more privacy with normal curtains ba but my family lazy. haha

finally shortlisted de 2 based on price n choice of material. =)

True, more privacy, and can choose to have day & nite curtains. But like wat u said, it's harder to clean than roller blinds.

AIYAH T-blog is for people to chat one ma. I also learn something about curtains. hahaha But for lazy people like us it's a no-no.

Lol mwerkz really do a lot of homework on curtains...

[pinkpetter 0]

Today we went to check on the flat's progress. This greeted us at the main lift lobby.............

we went up the stairs somemore... EVERY SINGLE FLOOR.....

For those who don't know what are all these.... It's town council trying to cover paint sprayed by loansharks. The *O$P$* msg left by the loanshark is for a unit on the same floor as mine but luckily it's on the other side. They were very "siong" very fierce, sprayed on EVERY level all the way up to my floor. One of the neighbours' plants had blue paint on it even.

People who are hunting for their flats or are interested in ANY flat... PLS PLS PLS always remember to walk down the stairs nearest to the flat to check for such things on the wall! esp now when people might be more hardup and if the owners really seem very desperate to sell.

Even if the owners seem ok, you should also check, in case it's the owners' neighbour who have such problems. It's well-known for loansharks to harrass the borrower and those nearby.

In the course of buying my unit I viewed so many flats... more than 10 I've viewed had this problem... be careful ok?

So today got to my unit there wasn't anyone there at first then... suddenly a chinese man appeared carrying plenty of stuff... he totally ignored us and kept moving stuff in. My sis and I examined his stuff and tried to guess what he is suppose to do...

Then our contractor arrived... and the "friendly quarrels" begin. In loud voices and in Hokkien, they started discussing about how to lay the tiles, how this should be done, what else needs to be done....

They ushered us to the toilets and asked us how the tiles are to be placed... even used pipes to make a "mock up shower screen" and pretended to shower inside and said "那么小” and complained " 门这么开？？“ lol They argued about how the mosaic was supposed to be placed...

When I told them where we wanted the fridge to be... MORE discussion ensued... that involved a lot of snatching (of measuring tape), making TONS of markings on the wall.... Finally after ten minutes of arguing, they quietened down and turned to us... "不可以啦“ (cannot la)..... LOL and proceeded to explain why cannot... then started to walk ard the kitchen and offered other places for our fridge.

IT was such a comical 2 hours... I should have videotaped it and put it up on Youtube...

Ahhh the benefits of Renotalk isn't it? Can really hear real comments (after you figure out who the FOs are la)

YA MAN they were SO FUNNY lor. my sister and I stifled our giggles...

MmM Luckily the unit is on the other side of the building. But they were really hardworking. And I think it's only beginning that's why so hardworking. Usually after some time they sian already and spray less.
