jazzysou1 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) When my contractor saw me on Mon, he told me I super relaxed.. have not buy kitchen hob/hood, sink, led lights for the lightings. I told him I don't know what to buy mah. Somemore he nv tell me, I also don't dare anyhow buy. After meeting him on Mon morning, I panicked alittle already. Went to Poh Seng & Royal Franco w my sis to take a look. Conclusion- Women are better sales rep! 1st stop-Poh Seng: Uncle nv bothered to help us, sit there as if we are invisible. Eventually a lady came & assisted us but we did not commit cos' wanna go Royal Franco to take a look 1st. Reached Royal Franco, the place is much smaller & darker but the lady boss much more friendlier. Think Henry(boss) is there also but he is not as spontaneous as his wife. End of the visit, his wife gave a better discount than Henry himself. I bought kitchen hob/hood (Techno) & some other small items from her. I am still searching for a kitchen sink/taps for the sink.. any good recommendations?? Edited November 7, 2012 by jazzysou1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
