A Place To Retire

Recommended Posts

if everything bundle in to one fee makes it very hard to negotiate price right?

lilith, that's how Intra works. It's a matter of whether u comfy with that. the customers that go with them are ok with it. It's us who cannot so Intra cannot earn our biz... :lol:

Ya.....some ppl not comfy with that arrangement. I was the same when we first engage them a couple of years ago. But it works out well, in the sense once the sum is agreed, it stay the same as the changes are so far been accommodated.

To have a guage of the relevance of the pricing, we asked for similar things though u can not always have exact apples to compare. Thus the negotiation can be based on that...

Since we have 2 good experience with them, this time round we just tell them our budget and then base on that nego for more things to do....:)

Hi

Joleena and pinktini

The first TV will be in front of bed. So if we both watch the same show, then we will be on the bed....:)

The second TV which is on the right side, my wife will have a comfy sofa. For her only.

Actually on the left side I intend to get another sofa for me. I like to sit beside the window and do my stuff, and watch TV also.

Reuben2

Ya, actually she does

she always complain the English spoken by those actors is too "chim" for her.....so she depend on sub-titles. If no sub-titles, chances I will her subtitler...

So sometimes when I am playing game and she is watching TV, it will be

1. She pause, I pause.

2. She rewind then I turn my head slightly to my right and watch...

3. Then I try to explain.........

4. Sometimes I got killed and got to wait, then I can also watch what she's watching until some1 come save me....lo

Lol.....no HO one per se...already kawan kawan many years. My move in/start sleeping date is 23rd July, auspicious day. but unit should be Move-In ready by next week

Open house --- can of course....maybe will be close to sam mei mei also.....:)

and Mr Angteko went missing liao...lol
