Super SHAGGED~ (beware, long post!)

Omg, im damn shagged out today.

Went back to Chelsea Lights last evening again to compare the prices & looks like Lights Arcade still gave us a better rate. Slpt at 2am last nite & woke up early this morn to visit POSB at Boon Lay market at 8.30am. Its all Chris's fault cos its his stupid car's instalment again. Zzzz...Anyway, prob solved but im damn irritated at DBS/POSB's inefficiency.

Went RHB to sign the many documents & paid $ to open bank account & pay the processing fees. Now then i realised there's no atm card. Am i stupid or there isnt any RHB atm machine in sg??! Have decided to take the 5yr loan at $409 per mth for a 21K loan at 6.25% interest per annum. Heartpain~ Thanks Kelvin, for answering my many many questions, lol.

Went to new plc to meet Kenneth & the 1st thing he asked me when he reached is, "Can i borrow ur toilet?" LOL Spent 1.5hr going thru the final details & the aircon piping but to be frank, i duno wat the shit they talking. I only noe my kitchen cannt have hot water unless they link the piping the illegal way. So, no thank you, my kitchen no hot water then. Kenneth isnt very supportive of my colour preference. I juz want brillant white for everything but he said dat if everything also white, then i cant even tell if his workers got reali paint the house rite -_- He recommended lily white, dreamy white, creamy white. ZzZzzz..the worse thing is, Chris thinks the same way, lol.

Oh, and Kenneth is trying to rush out the flat for ivan+jm & their handover date is 5th Dec. Possible??! I duno & i dun care but i juz pray our designs wun end up similar. Chris assured me dat it wont cos ivan+jm style is those woody kind whereas i prefer glass. Ok *whew*

Hacking works will commence coming Tuesday & latest handover date is 16th Dec *yipee!* We've not paid Kenneth a single cent yet & also haven signed any contract but he's cool abt it & he says whenever we r ready, we can pay anytime but he'll juz start 1st as he doesnt wan any 2006 projects to drag until 2007.

Went Jalan Besar & it was pouring like mad. The roads were flooded & we practically walked in the rain. We were intending to head to Adamas to look for Martin but we bumped into him when we were dashing across the road! He was holding an umbrella & he recognised us, haha...he passed me his umbrella & we went back to his shop tog to choose my kitchen sink+tap & my bathroom accessories. Tot he was gg for a late lunch but turns out dat he was bored as it was raining & there wasen any customers (??!?!?)

Total damage at Adamas:

1) Cuizino Hod + Hood = $730
2) Joven storage heater (25l) = $200
3) Kitchen sink (single bowl 650mm) = $160
4) Kitchen tap = $80 (oops...this one is an indulgence for sure -_- *abit guilty now*)
5) 7 piece bathroom accessories = $120
6) Mirror (common toilet) = $10

Next stop was Lights Arcade at Balestier. Went to look for Andrew but he was out & was served by a very pretty ger named Jane :) She rem us & retrieved the quotation dat Andrew prepared for us last mth & recfm everything cos we had some changes.

Total damage at Lights Arcade:

1) Nine 6" downlights (2x18w) = $252
2) Two MBR lights
3) Two kitchen lights
4) One bulb+holder for bomb shelter room
5) Two lights for the other 2 bedrooms
6) Two toilet lights
7) 2 downlights for my kitchen L-box = provided by Kenneth
8) Fluorescent tubes for cove lighting = provided by Kenneth

Total = $815 (duno the exact cost for each light cos all receipts with Chris)

Final stop was Causeway Point. Saw this lovely 4-seater fabric sofa at Hecom Seahorse for an incredible $499. Saw many 3-seaters but i dun like cos they r juz too small. Was so tempted to book the sofa but end up we decided to look around more cos X'mas season coming, sure alot of places also offering good deals. The sofa looks something like below. Extra covers for the whole sofa plus 3 cushions is only $129. Wah lao, we both had a hard time tearing ourselves off from the shop -_- The length is juz nice, near 3metres. Juz rite for our living room.

Came across V-hive & saw this L-shaped tempered glass study table for $329. Looks good but im worried abt the stability. We also saw a black tempered glass one at Courts & its only $299. Guess this will come after the TV. We saw this brand 'Prima' at Courts & it looks great! A 42" is only for 2.5K! Im gg to research more on this brand b4 we decide wat to buy. The classic is still Samsung & it looks fantastic as usual. Its juz more visually appealing, haha... But reali no heart to spend a few K for dat...very xiong..

Haven decide wat brand to get for our Q-size mattress. Tried a few King Koil ones at Metro & now they r having promotion at $729. Quite good rite? We've also tried a few at Hecom Seahorse but those r quite medium hard to hard ones but the best part is the price loh. Abt $500+ only. Headache~

Fridge + washing machine, haha, i've long ago aimed for the models i wan & now, its only waiting for Lee Meng Electrical boss to quote me a good price. Once i can cfm the completion date for my flat, i will order from him liao. Getting the Fisher&Paykel fridge & the Electrolux front load washing machine.

I tink more or less, we r on time for everything. The only prob is the cashflow :( Need to wait for a few chqs to come back to us b4 we have the $ to pay. So...i hope Kenneth doesnt do the reno too fast -_- Else reali not in time to pay for the lights & kitchenware, haha...

Tired but hapi. I can finally see some progress!
