So excited now. Tomorrow will be our second appt with HDB, and hopefully we will be able to get keys to our place in another week!

All of a sudden, i felt that I am falling behind schedule! Though I have in mind the main items I wanted, nothing (other than the bedframe) had been booked. So looks like i will have to go speedy mode from tomorrow onwards.

These are what I will be purchasing, after months of research, both online (esp RT), as well as physically visiting the shops/showrooms etc

KITCHEN

hood - fujioh 900

hob - fujioh FG 773 SVGL (decided I needed the safety valve, so had to forego the inner flame. rinnai is beyond my reach)

oven - electrolux EOB53000X

Sink - eyeing one from GR Link - will go down tomorrow to confirm, also get a tap (this one I'm not particular, as long as high enough)

Pull out sauce basket - Song Cho

Service yard sink - bellari

AIRCON

still deciding between a mitsubishi system 4 invertor vs system 3 invertor + single. will meet up with another aircon supplier tomorrow. Will need to decide fast, assuming I get my keys next week!

LIGHTS n FANS

this one totally zero idea. maybe pop by lighting.com when i go to GR link

HALL - still can wait

sofa - likely the fabric 3 seater recliner from Lorenzo

TV system - hubby wants a 50" LED, that's his baby ..

TV console - will pay Hommage/S&C a visit next few days

Shoe Rack - "

TOILET

Basin - will prob get from GR link also for better discount

Taps

Towel Rail

Accessories

CHILDREN'S BEDROOM - will order towards the end of reno

bedframe has been ordered

need to get mattress

wardrobe

maybe side table? not sure if there is still space?

CHILDREN'S STUDY ROOM - will order these towards the end of reno

study table

computer table

chairs

book shelves

what else did i miss out?

50" LED!

the price is

I may have to downgrade to getting LCD. Budget burst liao. Still working out see where can cut some cost...

ya, that's exactly what i told him - it's insane! But his mind is really set, still trying to brain wash him to go for smaller one - after all, the hall is really so small, like overpowering!

for for most men, i think, the tv is the most important in the whole house .. just like i focus all my attention on the kitchen reno, he focuses on his tv la .. so since no more budget, poor girls can only buy the cheaper HDB furniture shops things

Hi! no wonder didnt 'see' u ard in RT. Went to Furniture Mall today. Lorenzo having sale, i think becos of GSS. Choose black or white sofa 3 seater + 2 seater will get $1k. We didnt like anything there so didnt ask. Mayb u can call them.

For some of the things we are also waiting to shift in then buy, scared later not enough space.

Hi gals mama

So many things happened today, though I also did not achieve many i set out to accomplish - maybe was being too ambitious

First, we officially signed on the dotted line with the contractor ... and he is none other than ... Edmund .. of .. ADecor! But that also signifies the start of our pocket burning ... !!

Through the last few months, while diligently doing my daily homework at RT, we have met several IDs and contractors. Perhaps I will share my experiences wiht the others and what leads us to this decision ... but that later

Then we received the good news that our reno loan have been approved!

And finally, of course, we completed our second resale completion and handed the keys to our buyers ... and on a happy note, can start counting down to the day we can collect our keys

And last, we got a discount from the xxxx agent, not much, but still worth the fight

So in the end, was too tired mentally, and did not make it to jalan besar or meet the aircon people. That will be tomorrow's itinenery, plus decide on the marble to lay.
