Tiring

Went Jalan Besar & Balestier today & end up spending near 1k for our hob & hood and storage heater ;D Err...wanted to get the kitchen sink & tap as well but i need to consult my ID on the measurements 1st. Have placed a deposit of $100. Wuhahaha..abit little hor? But the shop owner doesnt mind & im glad we've gone to him cos he offers very good prices after much searching. Whew...we practically walked from 100 Jalan Besar to 390+. It wasen hot at all but it was enuf to tire us out cos its a headache having to go into shops, see+look, fend off over enthusiatic sales ppl & trying to figure out the truth. I'll most probably be gg back to the same shop to get my kitchen sink + tap. Great service, great prices. Too bad they do not sell fridge & washing machine else i may get it all from them.

Tried visiting one of the recommended shops to see wat they have but they r closed!!! A note says they r upgrading but they left their number in case anyone wants to call abt their products. Reali weird cos the auntie only called Chris a few days ago to offer their prices for the various products we need. Very gd prices for the fridge & washing machine & at 1st, wanted to get the hod+hood from then but heng heng today, found the above shop which offer even better prices. Wonder if i shld call them up to ask again...

Went Balestier to see the lights as well & met a very nice uncle who explained all abt lightings & also gave us a no obligation quote. We honestly told him our budget is low & he decided to offer better prices (which is almost the same as the Chelsea Lights we went at Chinese Garden mrt) but the best thing abt him is the service. We drew our ceiling designs & proposed lighting points & he gave practical advice & taught us abt the technical part of lightings. I din noe lightings are so complicated -_- Have not yet decided on this but i guess we do have some time to go search somemore. Cos we didnt have the time and energy to visit so many lighting shops at one go...

Abit disappointed with OCBC. Thou they offer lower interest rates, they actually require applicants to pay $200 should we decide not to take it up after the application is approved even if we have not signed any letter of offer. I called to cfm & they said its to prevent ppl from applying to multiple banks & to compensate the staff's effort for reviewing the many applications. Omg...I got paronoid & started visiting all the banks' websites to chk out cancellation fees & lucky the other one which i've applied already (Maybank) only requires us to pay cancellation fee AFTER we signed the Letter of Offer. But seems like DBS & RHB may work the same way as OCBC. Have sent emails to them to enquire after reading their T&C. I hope not cos it doesnt make sense rite? Of cos ppl would apply & see which bank offers the best rate? Hai...very very troublesome. Lucky i've only applied to SCB & Maybank else god noes how much cancellation fees i have to pay? Consumers are reali at a disadvantage in everything...

Oh..and i've juz order a $25 huat4 kueh4 at Boon Lay market & its abt 5kg. I find the 5kg huat4 kueh4 very small but it'll be crazy to buy the 10kg one, LOL. The auntie asked if we can finish eating anot, LOL.

Went Mustafa Centre to see fridges & washing machines but end up buying a $21 mini vaccum cleaner. To suck the dirt lor, LOL. If Chris nv stop me, i would have bot the cloth, the windscreen cleaner, the leather protector, the wax, the sponge....etc etc etc. LOL. Cos they r all cheap cheap!!!! If only we had more energy, we would have explored more. But Mustafa is juz too damn bloody big.

Oh, the cornices & the main door were finally painted (ceiling haven, lol) but the room i use & Chris's mum's room were un-touched. They felt dat its ok not to. But Chris's mum doesnt feel good & is tinking abt buying the paint herself so dat she can get the rest to help to paint. And she commented dat Chris is very lazy, doesnt help out. Wuhahahaha...none of my biz lor, he's ur son. The room dat i use has also turned into a mini storeroom. I tink Chris doesnt blame me for not staying over anymore. They have rearranged everything & everyone's stuff is now piled up in the room & they r moving the old furniture from ivan+jm's room to the room to make way for...a new mattress mayb..and some new furniture. Cos they wan it to look nice as alot of relatives will gather there b4 the weddin dinner.

Chris's mum followed us juz now as she hasen sat in his car yet. I asked for the spare car key as Chris gave it to his mum for safe-keeping. Helo???? Does it make sense?? It sure doesnt to me. Siao...i juz got him to ask her back for key. She asked me in the lift why i cannot stay over. I juz replied dat i need to go out tml. Chris pulled my hair from behind & started singing, "fakey fakey" LOL. Cant possible tell her, "Cos i hate ur hse, its dirty, it smells & it has ants running ALL over". Sori, im in a bitchy mood :)

i hope to hell dat she will not follow us to open the door. If she does, im calling my parents + ah ma as well. Its only fair dat way. Thou i dun tink so cos she was talking to Chris abt tml as ivan+jm will be opening the door & its cos jm's dad insisted it to be done tml at 12noon and he wans to be there, LOL. She doesnt sound hapi abt it, haha...its not her hse wat rite. But Chris kapoh, wants to join them & see wat they bring to the new house. I was telling him even if they bring ALOT of barang barang to pray & stuff, we wun be doing it wat! Kapoh means kapoh, still give excuses!

Btw, does coffee have more caffine or tea? Can anyone solve this mystery once & for all? -_-
