So i ran to Sun Plaza and bought these $220 (after disc of $108) -Wanted to buy wooden clothes pole but have no idea how long is needed Overall, there wasnt any exact timing set. Just the "btwn ??hrs - ??hrs" or "will call before coming on the day". So, I am very lucky that everything took care of itself.

I brought the unit at 14th flr, valuation 346K cov 26K, do u think i paid too much? Wow...can only say one thing, not cheap. But at today's market, not bad liao. I presume you bough EA? Or 5 room? FYI the EA at around 11th floor cost $400K when first launch 7-8yrs ago, so seller is still making a loss. Simi is etx? Will post amenities soon.
