Moms are wonderful, despite their constant nagging and scolding. Here's what my mom & I dug out at home just now:

These are original Wedgewood salad plates (made in England) and 1940s! It is worth around AUD22 each on some websites now!

And this is even more classic, also from my granny:

How I wish the renovation can be done in 3 weeks! It is like 'wait long long' especially I heard the carpentry delays experienced by fellow club Alanists here to the extent that we decide to be safe; we told our contractor that we will cancel his wardrobe and book the Ikea PAX wardrobe. Cheaper & more door designs to choose

Brilliant Source Lighting @ Joo Chiat: great service, friendly Boss, lotsa free advice & prices look not bad too. Here's what we have shortlisted & have to decide for our living room downlights:Brilliant Source Lighting by Makanology, on FlickrBrilliant Source Lighting by Makanology, on Flickr

I just popped by Brilliant Source over the weekend to see the lights too. The owner, Mr Quah, is really friendly & gives advise when we ask. My 3 gals were ssooo smitten by their yellow lab - cookie. The whole time hub & me looking at lights, my gals busy playing with the dog. Lol. Initially, we were thinking of buying LED bulb downlights. But after speaking with Mr Quah, now we are tempted to get the usual LED light with driver from them. Cos he said can offer me 1-yr warranty on the driver. 1-to-1 exchange if driver spoilt within a year. Some more, the led downlight we looking at, he supplies the same model to Orchard Hotel leh. Plus after that, if any issues, can always call him to go down for repairs. So good siah.

Oohh... I also love the black switch your cousin got for you. That is ssoo old school, but yet so apt for your place. Love it!!

I think my mom is super happy about me helping to clear her cabinets... So that she can buy more stuff. She actually has this machine that polishes or cleans or ionizes rice grains (sorry I still can't decipher what that machine does but mom swears that our rice which has been processed by it is the super best quality with great health properties ...)

Anyways just bought this:

@3Dyms yeah Mr Quah is amazing right? Unfortunately he doesn't have many GU10 lamps for us to choose. We found an online source but pending contractor's nod to go ahead with the purchase.
