coffee_o 1 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 Look for the female boss... tell her Jason ask u to find her. (*okie...tell some lies although Jason didn't say so..*) Works for me. :-X unless she happens not to be around. Yes. From my point of view, some of the staffs product knowledge isn't that good and some just want u to confirm and let her write on that piece of white paper. Hmm..perhaps, ask them to let you walk walk around first...at least for me...I don't feel good with someone with a piece of paper chasing me around. And I prefer to carry the tiles here and there under different lighting to get a feel and mix and match other tiles together. Hmm...if the tiles not to your liking, perhaps, u can go to other tiles shop. Mine no bling bling lights I think... My wife in charge..lols. Hmm. I remember those toilet without mosaic mirrors will have backlight..*I think so* p.s.: I didn't go Hafary as we manage to get the tiles we like...if u didn't really really really really like the tiles...continue your search...tiles and wall color are the main brick for reno. Ya thanks bro Some of the tiles i selected in Sin Lek really CMI, so bo pian hope can find better ones in Hafary lor Hopefully my wife can get something that she likes actually hor both of us cannot visualize how it will looks like based on just a tile leh so it's like the blind leading the blind leh hahahahaa Personally I feel that kitchen is the worse since it will cover a very huge space, if it's ugly, it will be very obvious leh hahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe u have better luck over in Hafary. I am sure there are some tiles waving at you. heehee. You are going to use daylight/white light for your house ya? If yes, can just bring the tiles around in the shop and look for different light source..(*I do it, and people look at me...and end up they follow me...although a bit malu lah*) then I also step on it...walk walk a bit...then..err....after selection...I place the tiles near sun light to see see.

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 Then ah... if you're thick skinned enough ask if you can have bigger tile samples. Sometimes when they haven't cut they can give you slightly bigger ones. (my dad did that) Then when you bring them home... put water and test if they are slippery... etc... THEN once you have confirmed... label on the tile where it is meant for. So that when the tiles are delivered to your new house you can leave the samples there for the tilers to match.
