laiwh 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2011 The tiles have arrived on Saturday morning. Could only get to snap some pic of the tiles today cos it was too dark yesterday when I reached the place. The tiles are almost as high as a baby girl -- 600mm X 600mm This is how the actual tile looks like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laiwh 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) It's another round of massive bleeding (from my pocket) today. We've gotten the dimension from K, so we continued with our shopping today. Started the day by going to CS to take some measurement. Then we went to KEC at Adelphi to buy our hifi set first. These are what we bought: Onkyo AV Receiver TX-SR508 Cambridge Audio Minx325 Speaker set I requested for extra long cables (35M) just in case it's not enough because I'm going to mount the speakers on the L-Box. They also provide free installation and tuning service. Total damage: $2600 After settling the hifi system, we continued to go on to look for our sanitary fittings (MBR toilet basin, kitchen basin, mirror etc) We managed to only get the MBR toilet and kitchen basins because we couldn't be very sure about the correct size of the mirrors, so we decided to come another round. These are what we got: Kitchen basin Tap for kitchen basin MBR Toilet basin We didn't buy any tap for MBR basin because CO doesn't like the one that I like because she doesn't want those fancy taps. Since we will be buying a normal looking one, we might as well keep the existing tap given by HDB Total damage: $686 Edited March 6, 2011 by laiwh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laiwh 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 Hi Bluerosie, I got it at sim siang choon. about $200++ excluding tap. Actually i got both my basins at the same place. don't know whether it's overpriced or not but i'm starting to get burnt out from all the recce sessions.... i think if i add in all the petrol and parking (and fines) used in the recce sessions while looking for cheaper lobangs, i don't save much too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laiwh 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 hi laiwh, did your ID charge you for the laying of the protective sheets to protect the flooring? Hi Abupapa, my ID didn't charge for laying protective sheets cos it's not mentioned in the quotation...i guess the cost has been "distributed" somehow....
