blue77 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 After weeks passed, finally there is a bit of updates. Tiles are done up (can't see it from now as it was being covered up)and plastering had been done for the whole house as you can see below the attached images. Saw only one man doing the plastering and according to him, he was at my houes for the past 4 days. All workers have gone back home for the CNY. So after CNY, will be discussing with the ID over the cabinets, paintings and electrical point etc.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue77 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 During the period when my flat is still hacking etc, I did not idle around, instead every weekends I will go to make a search for my lightings. Walk till legs breaking, along the whole stretch of Jalan Besar and even went to Balestier to take a look of what is available in the markets and the cost of it. Didn't realise that lightings in Singapore are so expensive As I have been browsing the website of TB, and when I went to some shops, most of the designs I saw was also selling and the prices are so much different. Mostly I went into those shops and feel like being carroted. I even went to the same shop at a different weekends and was served by two different salesman and the prices they given can be different by $20-$70 for same design that I was eyeing on. Almost wanted to get the lights from the cheapest quote he had given me but.... after much thought I decided to get from TB!! So last week, I manage to make a quick list of ordering for my lights as from now most of the suppliers in TB are closing for almost two weeks plus during CNY. Even though they can takes the orders but they will not release the goods.Luckily, my ID is very helpful and willing to help me install my lights even if my renovation have done up. YEAH!!! So have to wait patiently for the goods to come. Not sure about the shipment fee thougn. But I think will still be cheaper than getting in Singapore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have anyone come across this design?hi there! not sure if you saw the sofa on taobao already and took the pic from there but they have a couple of nice ones. i myself am eyeing on it coz i really like the zakka/MUJI style and this seems to be the exact one you've mentioned :http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.120.aAf2ox&id=20896904782850¥ is less than S$200, i think its really cheap! i wonder how much SG is selling if they do indeed carry this design. if i'm buying from taobao i think the shipping would come up to around $200-$300 (i used the shipping calculator from peeka.sg) so whole thing will probably come up to $500+.
