preciousjam 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2009 Today went IMM to look at bathroom sinks,heaters, etc....upon advice given by smallboy, we went to Asia Excel Marketing and came out impressed...Firstly the price is very reasonable, secondly the service provided by Ray was fantastic...though we told him could not confirm the stuff yet, he went through everything, explaining in details....we were there for almost an hour or so yet he is still so patient....oh ya did i mention? I actually met fondue and hubby there and even though we chatted in the shop, he never show any displeasure...That's what i call "GEM". Heard from ray if mention u hear about them from forum, got special lei....Next week after confirming contractor and getting keys, will deinitely look for him again....Seems like they have a bigger showroom at Balestier..Will go there next week..I really salute Ray...He even told hubby will help us check on a washing machine model even though he's not oblige to do it... Fondue, looking forward to your mini open house next week!!! Great to see you and hubby and sure was nice chatting with you!!! next time meet for makan ok?

preciousjam 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 Another 2 more days and I'll be collecting my keys!!! We are so excited over it....Can't wait for it to arrive!!! After much delaying, sellers finally decided to allow us to do final inspection on Wed...'suai' hubby not around....hopefully everything will be ok..... After much consideration, we've decided to get Yeak from Basic Image to oversea our renovation...it was a tough decision but we have to make it.....anyway with that being settled now we can move on to other stuff.... Met up with Yeak at Hafary for a final selection of the tiles....No changes to my previous ones just additional of wall tiles for the wet area in the kitchen....We have seen some of Yeak's works one of which is Rondy's place....Hubby told me he is impressed with the tiling there as the corners are very nicely done which to him, he feels is the most difficult....We told Yeak our common toilet wall tiles will be a challenge to his tile master....we were prepared to change the tiles if alignment will be a major problem but he assured us no need to change as the tiles are nice....so ok lor we'll stick with that.... Hubby will be trying to get some freebies from him...hmmm maybe a TV console (love the one at Rondy's place), will leave it to hubby....at the moment his quotation for us stand at 34k.....let's see if there's any changes after thursday.... As I was given 1st, 3rd, 5th for 'dong tu", I ask for Yeak's opinon.His response was to do it on the 1st so as not to waste time coz my initial intention was to do it on the 5th...Checked with him on the air con trunking, he assured us he can be around to make sure the trunking will be 'swee swee'....Great!!!Saves us the headaches.... Can't wait for him to do the onsite measurements!!!! Keep a lookout here for updates!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
