LinDa 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) On top of spending a lot of money on household stuffs, a lot of very fustratings stuffs happened too over the last two weeks.But let me just share on places having sales this weekend - CK Tang basement household sale, Taka basement household sale and John Little Specialist Centre closing down sale. Didn't get anything from CK Tang coz their focus is more on the woks/pots/pans and I intend to get mine from Ikea (don't plan to cook a lot so buy ONE pot to cook maggi mee can liao). Taka I bought my quilts and bathroom mats, I think their bedsheet sets are going cheap (500 threadcount whole set - quilt, fitted, pillows, bolster at $230). John Little bedsheets are even cheaper, I saw that the Sintex ones are cheaper than the Taka sale, but the whole place is in a mess and I cannot shop with too much mess. I got all my bedsheets from Aussino though. Colleague has their membership card so managed to get 15% off. But I buy so much until can qualify for another card. Birthday month is 40% discount. Anyone want to buy let me know, its next month! I'm going to buy my second set then also. Now too broke, buy one set only - wash dry liao put back the bed first. Went Ikea and go crazy over their organizer boxes. Intend to go back for more tomorrow. Think not enough for me to sort my mess up properly. Sad thing is I go there like every other day spend $50 to $100 so even though in one week I spent more than $300 cannot get their member card coz must be within same day.Ok, other than all the shopping, I'm quite frustrated with my defects rectifications. Not that Vincent is not doing a good job, I think my expectations might be too high? Like I fnd some of my homogeneous tiles grout are quite black. When I told him about it, he says it's within acceptable limit. What makes me so pek cek is, during the renovation, I told him that why parts of the tiles not protected properly, he says that don't worry, he will polish the tiles before handover and I thought it includes the grout. But no lor, though the tiles are shiny (at least they were till last night at 2am when I was packing the place and saw some tiles that have don't know what on them), the grouts are not white. Anyone know how I can clean the grouts?Then, all the minor minor stuffs just add up. Glue on carpet which he managed to remove some off but still a bit hard at some. Drawers of wardrobes is not really smooth when pulling out. MBR cushion headboard have 3 pieces out of the 16 pieces seems to be in a different shade. Roller shutter at first have paint, they changed it yesterday, the new one is got scratches, I also don't know how to complain to him again, later he thinks I'm crazily fussy. Some scraches on the interior of cabinet. MBR bedside table shiny laminate seems to have small cracks at the edges. Well, still some more I can't recall. Anyways, its not major till I can cry. But when it all adds up, just makes my day blue.The worst thing of all that happened is that I must do window grilles for my living and bedroom after my dad came over to see my place. I hate window grilles as it spoils my lovely night view and it feels so caged in. Also, my curtain is up, now I got to move the curtain tracking. PEK CEK le. But of course, I cannot fight with the reason is for my son's safety. But only doing for this two places, the rest, I'm changing the window handle into those with keys to lock. Pang Giap is doing the grilles for us. Choose those aluminium horizontal design. 2 rooms plus change window handles with key for the rest of the rooms is $430. Price not too costly at least.Hubby is getting people to do the window film so that we can reduce the heat of the evening sun coming in. Another $300+.Renovate house nice really very siong..

LinDa 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2007 linda, i juz realised u had a hair dryer in the toilet.. COOL!! how much u pauid for it.. like in hotel lehi got the elite brand from ssc. there's 4 types under this brand - normal, normal with 2 pin plug point, normal with 10 mins auto-off, normal with 2 pin plug point and 10 mins auto-off. the price increases with each model i think.normal one is $171+. i got the one with 2 pin plug point $191+. the other 2 i forgot how much. coz at first i bought the normal one. i asked the sales person if the 2 pin plug point can plug in my hair straighter or wat not, they say cannot its for shavers only (they call it a shaver point). then i went home, i realise my parent's place one is with the same model with 2 pin plug (haha, i everyday use but never realise) so i try to plug my hubby's motorola 2 pin hp charger in, then can charge the hp lei so i went back ssc to exchange lor.no la, not like hotel la, convenience lor coz i do bathe late at night one.

LinDa 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2007 (edited) I just finish unpacking everything, put all the stuffs in their right places and mop the floors. Very tired. Later still got to go work. Reply everyone tomorrow. Hubby sleeping with son this couple of days as grilles are not up so he's kinda worried. I'm not complaining coz I can occupy the whole bed! Edit : Want to sleep already but hubby came over to say one of his wound bleeding badly. He removed 4 wisdom teeth under GA last Monday. Ask him to go SGH A&E quickly. Now I got to wait for his call to ensure he's ok. Worrying... Edited June 24, 2007 by LinDa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
