Ahhh... yes... I am guilty of that as well, not on the photos though, but on other stuffs hehe.. most men probably tend to get carried away we need wives like you to keep us 'in check' haha

Franke.. hmmm probably too early to start sourcing for my accessories right now though...

I keep seeing loads of recommendations on where to purchase lightnings and furnitures - Plush, Extreme Lightnings etc... Any pointers on the not-so-ethical sellers to note?

Anyone had experience purchasing furniture from Life Storey, and air-cons from Hong Tar in Jurong West? 'Cos been seeing a fair bit of comments on the Mitsubishi Heavy Industry....

as for furniture...cant really help much...cos i will be going to look ard this weekend onlyyybut i think it u browse enough thread...will know who to avoid...all those names also make me very confused...wahahahah

Yalor, I guess the family loan makes everything easier. Imagine skipping all the bank application/submission of income doc/approval hassles. U r not alone!! i LEECH too! full time leecher, told her not to give up my bedroom to my pets cos i wanna come back n sleep too!

Restraint = dun allow urself to jump onto the bandwagon of "once in a lifetime" thingy! Many bridal studio's hardsell tactics, just pick those u like n select within ur budget would be safest? B4 we went in, i told my hubby at most only allow him to top up 10 photos, which he really max that out.

i almost bought the franke deal too! Was it the one with the Cuizino package? In the end i bought just the hob/hood because i already bought the sink n tap.

Nope..in fact it came with Franke Hob n hood...which make it more tempting...hehehehe

Just one of the proposed floorplans Ray had came up for us... will list down details of the renovation when I'm not feeling too lazy but of course this is based on our rather strict FSM requirements.. so really thankful that he was patient and open to our concerns

Any positive feedback or 'constructive comments' are most welcomed hee

I'm not contributing as much $ as hubby, so must play my part to control the budget!

Don't really have much advise for u as to shops to avoid, but lights wise better to get Osram or Philips bulbs. They r generally the more trusted brands. Some shops that i've been to offer cheaper price but not giving these bulbs. I wouldnt be wanting to chge bulbs every now n then.

Hong Tar seems to be very popular in RT. Gd comments abt their workmanship too.

:good: Then wait no more! Buy!

Haha! i'm the FC also! Then u must be like my hubby, i always gotta pull him back to reality.

I dunno where exactly is Hong Tar, i just called up and asked for quotation. But the gal who entertained me wasnt really very friendly so in the end i went with another aircon vendor who sounded more professional. Gave valuable advise for aircon position and running of trunking.

U need the num for Hong Tar?
