Your 拜拜 ceremony is similar to mine. Huat kueh, pineapple, orange, joss sticks, candles, joss papers.

Congrats for getting your own home

Spent the months of Nov 2011 to Feb 2012 looking for IDs / Contractors. That took up alot of our time....

On the positive side, we did learn quite a fair bit of stuffs, the needs and wants, the good and bad....

Below are a list of IDs that we went to...

Sum Hup (located near North Link Building) - This is a company with very good workmanship...Great carpentry...Comfort level is ok as this is the lst company we visited

Outlook Exterior (or Interior) - Recommended by my ex colleague (3rd company we visited, comfort level is good, 7/10)

Home Success - Managed to know them while going to Expo Exhibition (2nd company we visited, comfort level 1/10), this is a very long story on what happened, dont wish to bring it up again...

MOD - Recommended by my gf's fren (6th company we met - Great innovation ideas, but exceed our budget, comfort level 7/10)

North West Interior - Recommended by my gf's colleagues (4th company we met 7/10)

BLue and Blve - recommended by my customer (5th company we met 6/10)

After so many months of negotiation, exhaustion and frustrations sets in. We are quite tired and felt quite ''sian'' by the delay to start work. This is further hampered by the fact that CNY is approaching and every ID / contractor is rushing to complete on schedule. Hence, we decided to start only after CNY....

1.5 weeks after CNY, we finally settled for a guy named, SOH.
