familyof4 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2009 not today...but i was there some time back talk to ray...he ask me go to balestier take a look say more on display... was thinking whether need anot...tiring to go there....imm at least can go shopping after buying all these stuff...hehe It's tiring for me to shuttle here and there with 2 kiddos in tow...so i settled it based on catalogues and whatever they have there. ehhh i was there in the evening too leh fannie! Went back to asia excel.. wanna see their bathroom accessories.. but I think their selection quite limited leh.. didn't really see any I like... we went there from 3-ish...need to really settle the nitty gritty...I agree that the slection was not impressive. I opted for the stainlesss teel set that was $100 more than the chrome ones...Brian had no choice but to give in cos i really can't find any I really liked...think I missed out buying 2 toilet roll holders...gotta go back again! i was at asia excel from 5 plus! balastier one. we bought all our stuff from them. Good that u managed to get your stuff...I am very comfortable with the sales person at IMM branch...so I went back to her... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

familyof4 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2009 I love your wash basin.. very cute.. I find that Asia Excel stuff is slightly more expensive.. Did you get a lot of discounts off the stated price? their discount is at least 10%...actually we settled it there cos ben really tired going round and round the island searching for the best deal...I bought together with Ivy and guess our discount off each item and after that some % off total bill is quite a good price also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
familyof4 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2009 I went up to have a look today and was really upset as the progress is affected due to the wall! Uncle called me this evening and told me he is going to arrange and go to HDB tomorrow. He will ask the officer to pop by and explain to him on the wall hacking issue and demand 2 days to get the approval. I leave it to uncle, and he is meeting me on friday with the aircon contractor to settle the trunking. Next, the kids toilet 100% done. The MBR mosaics are up. Left with the shower feature wall. The flooring of the hall is 3/4 done. I am so glad. We have more than once realised that the workers left the lights on after they left for the day. Told uncle about this and he says he will warn them and implement "fine" system. If they didn't switch off the lights, he will fine them $100 for a day! Forgot to ask if he'll pay me half of it or not hor...since the guys are using my elect and I am paying for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gaku70 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2009 familyof4, don't feel upset about the progress ok. At least you still have some rooms with 100% completion right. So look at the bright side. Actually which wall is affected? Is it for structural purpose? (indicated by black color in the layout) Glad to hear that Uncle is arranging the officer to see. Hope you will hear good news from him.

Gaku, it is not the beam/structure wall. In fact, it is the one that we can hack...thats why it seems rather unreasonable to me when they need3 long weeks to get this approved! But good that uncle can re-deploy the workers to ur side and quickly finish yours. Yours is more urgent, mine can still wait a while... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
