HiroX 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2007 Hi all...Today was a long day...$$$ Day....K bought me to Chelsea Lightings to buy lights and the damage was $680..i was expecting $700 Heng within bugdet...Bought some nice nice light...Was veri blur when me and my wife was inside..Don't really know what to look for..Heng K was there..Chose some common Lightings, a veri nice round study room light, A nice dinning light and a MBR chosen by my wife.. Then we proceed to K company to chose the material use for my platform bed,cozy corner and balcony..Three different type of wood..hopefully it turn out nice..then we chose colour for my toilet bowel and basin..and then finally the Cooker and Hob..After that we proceeded to IMM thinking to get our toilet accessory and our Overhead shower...K recommend me to HOE KEE..the cheapest in the market..but Bad customer service...but i tried anyway..and it was really the cheapest...And when i was chosing the overhead shower...There was this guy complaining to the counter about something but i was not sure wat was it..then as i happily told my wife that this is nice he turn around and told me he got this too...but it is not good..thats why he was there..to change it..and ask me to be careful..i was scared and the impression was not nice anymore..decide to skip Hoe Kee.. Lucky there was other shops there too...so decide to look at other shop...then finally decide to settle accessories at this shop with some nice pattern and good price...bought 2 sets of everything for both toilet at $280..dunno if it is consider cheap or ex... Then at the shop oppsite. we bought a Overhead shower at $288...and another set of shower for $112 for the common toilet..and then the sales guy told me about some brackets for the shower head because i m living in a HDB..so to prevent any delay in my reno i decide to listen to him to get it..and he was reommending me this Central water heater call A O Smith..didn't heard about it before..but he was saying it has 10 year warranty for heating and 3 years warranty for leaking...sound lik a good deal..and he told me it was widely used by alot of condo and housing area..just that the name is not as famous as Ariston..so i gave it a try and the Damage was $250... Alot of Damage done liao..but this is not the End... went to bought a mattress for $890 with 2 pillow..this uncle was a really good salesman and but i must admit the mattress was really a good catch..it the same as a famous brand SXXXXXmons..same factory but not the same name...and it was really the same feel...and it was selling around 1K plus at other places..so might as well finish my shopping and end my hunting...Total Damage for the day : $2.5 K but no choice it was exciting..but sad...
