rainbowgal 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Update Today, we went to 3 different aircon shops to search for aircons.. back in our mind, we were thinking to get non-inverter due we don't think that we will use that often.. 1) Atlantis Engrg Didn't get to meet Diana... one of the technicians was there. Am surprised that the shop looks like a warehouse. The technician wasn't that sure of quite a number of stuff.. though he was friendly. 2) Hong Tar Met Katherine.. pretty nice lady... she spent about 45 mins with us explaining the different types of aircon and how we should choose. She has kinda of changed our minds to choose inverter. The prices quoted for non inverter and inverter is abt $600 difference.. 3) Gain City @ IMM Don't know the sales person name but all i know is that he kept trying to selling Sharp to us. I am not impressed by his talks because he claimed that Sharp is a good brand for aircon... *p/s: sharp is hving promotion now... $2388 for inverter 3*.. maybe i'm not an expert but to me, to buy Sharp for its aircon doesn't sound that right. All I know is this sales person is pushing us.. Verdict: we are more inclined to get from Hong Tar.. the one that Katherine has recommended is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries inverter sys 3. Why Hong Tar? basically the reason is we felt more comfortable with Katherine.. at least she provides good advices and options to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hong Tar is good but I think their price is higher then many others...they admit too when I talk to them...they same 1 cent money 1 cent quality of goods...

RG if it's a HD media player then it's not illegal moreover sitex "by right" are not allowed to sell illegal stuff but who knows hahahaha also lucky you did not get the iphone lookalike as it's MIC and heard that there're a number of cases of MIC phones battery exploded and killed the owner as he put the phone in his shirt front pocket. Wah imagine you put it in your pants pocket when it exploded, there goes your father's day :help: anyway did they mentioned when you can collect your laptop ? hates it when they ask you to collect at their shop which is usually in Sim Lim Square, do try to collect your laptop asap. nvr ever trust shops in SLS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainbowgal 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Update We went to see the house last nite... Jason's workers have cleared the debris... saw a big pile of sand.. Outstanding item to be hacked which requires HDB approval: the wall between MBR and 2nd bedroom. *hopefully HDB will approve else there goes my WIW* Jason has advised that there is no need to hack the kitchen wall tiles.. he will ask his workers to put on the cement and plaster it.. looks like tiling should be the next step soon!!

rainbowgal 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2009 Update Jason requested us to call HDB with regards to the approval for hacking the wall between MBR and 2nd bedroom... my HTB called and HDB said will let us know on next tues.. hopefully, HDB can approve it! Must say that Jason's actions are quite swift... he has already ordered the tiles for us and the tiles are delivered to the house! we saw it juz now when we went to our house.. some pics for your viewing...
