my home

my Id and contractor is still doing up my unit..so it means i can't spend my first xmas in my house..which also means i have got to wait for a year more to celebrate xmas in my house..

hmmm..rather sad though..was hoping to put up the tree this year..but then, no choice..i'll rather let them do it at a 'non-rush' pace then doing it at a fast pace but delivering bad quality..

hubby and i bought our home applicances le..

hee...i am super-excited about my fridge!!..even more than my washing machine, tv and air-con combined..haha

here's the list:

1. Panasonic Inverter Fridge..



super love the fridge..it has lots of good points..and it's an inverter fridge!..haha, first of it's kind..
the frezzer is at the bottom too...that means i can now stand straight and take my stuff :)

but the best part was its pricing..few weeks back, i saw it at Gain City for $1099..and i also checked a few places and the price has always remained at that..

so i was having the mindset of paying $1099 for it but when i went to Gain City on my birthday..it was selling for $959!!..haha, about $140 off the actual price..super happie now..can't wait for them to deliver it..

2. Toshiba Inverter Air-con


hee...finally after so many years, i am gonna have an air-con..hee hee...dear and i decided to go with Toshiba as we need one big unit for the living room and a normal one for our bedroom..we asked for the pricing of a few brands before shortlisting Daikin, Toshiba and Mitsubishi..

Daikin is the cheapest, has a rather good name in the air-con industry and has been around since i was small..plus if you take a look at air-con units around the HDB blocks, you would realise that most have them have installed Daikin..

but one bad thing is that it not an inverter series and the parts are very costly to replace in the event that they are spolit..

Mitsubishi is good but damn expensive lor...it was priced at $2.7K+..my Toshiba was priced at about $2.4K...Daikin was $2k..

Mitsubishi is rather over-rated..plus, hubby and i are not that mad to use it everyday..thus, it's Toshiba :) plus, their compressor is made in Japan :)

3. Samsung washing machine

i have no pics of it..haha, couldn't find it online..we bought a normal one, front load, 6.5kg..it would be for washing home clothes though..since i have been hand-washing my own office wear..i think i would hand-wash dear's work clothes too..cause' the sewing is not too good..am afraid that the washing machine's spinning would tear his clothes :)

hee...there's a good bargain for the washing machine too...i told the salesman that it was my birthday and that he should lower the price more...haha, he really did leh...lowered $50 of the washing machine..

actually, i was really trying my luck..didn't really thought he would say ok..haha..ask and you shall get..

4. EF (Italian Inspiration) Hob and Hood

hee..we decided to get a hood afterall.. :)

we got a stainless steel design hob to match my stainless steel sink..plus, i think stainless steel ones are more trustworthy..hee...can take heat and everything under the sun :)

5. Sony Digi-cam..

hee hee...we didn't intend to get it initially...but after buying all those stuff, the salesman asked if we wanna get the camera for $50..haha, we both said yes lor...since it's a Sony and it's 7mega-pixals..hahaha...bye bye my old camera!! :)

that's all for my purchases...total damage is $5K plus..

hmmm...we also booked our bed, sofa, tv console and coffee table with Cellini...will be making payment soon..

my cousin-in-law introduced Cellini to us..he told us to take a look cause' they have a package thingy and more 'worth it'..

plus, Cellini has been around for quite some years and their stuff can be trusted :)

as for our dining table, hubby and i decided get from Ikea..cause' they have a one that's rather good leh...costs $295 and sits 4 persons..but it could be extended to sit 6 pax..hee hee..

now it's the lights that i am troubled about..haven't got them..but hubby and i are gonna go check it out tomorrow..

would be dropping by Jalan Besar and Balestier..since they are known for such stuff..

then, if i can't get it, i'll check it out with my Id ba...reason why i am not getting it through him is because he previously brought me to a place to buy expensive toilet stuff..so i am a bit reluctant to go with him..

my 2 toilet bowls costed me $500...with the basins, taps, sprays, rain shower set, normal shower set, stainless steel double sink..it all came up to $2k plus..

i suspect my Id made some commission out of it lor..so, this time round, i've decided to check it out myself first...he has earned quite a bit of my money..so i don't wanna let him earn more..

haha..

hubby and i have also selected the paint colour for our house...hee....the extra two rooms would be in purple :)

shall upload pics when the people paints them :)

oh...the air-con is up!...super good!..




happy birthday to me!!

heee...today's my birthday...6th December 2008 :)

happy happy happy :)

gonna go meet my hubby later at AMK for a good lunch..after that, we shall head to our house to check on the reno..then we shall hop on bus 25 to Gain City to buy our electrical appliances..then we shall hop on bus 25 again to Cellini and get our furniture..then..we shall hop on bus 25 again to bedok,then, it's a shuttle bus to Ikea..

hee hee hee...it's gonna be a shopping day for our home..

and that's how i am gonna spend my birthday..hmmm...quite different from the other years..but then, maybe cause' the years are setting in and i am a quarter of a century..celebration ain't so exciting anymore..

haha..i am officially 25 today :)

things i wish for?

well, i have come to realised that nothing's more important than health and wealth..haha..

of course health is most important..then comes my family and hubby..then comes my friends :)

wealth is impt too but it can't buy you lots of stuff... :)

such an old line...

anyways, i am feeling good today..the pasar malam downstairs my house is playing music like mad..and i am unknowingly shaking my legs to the rythme..

haha..

gonna go off to meet my hubby soon...i've decided to take a cab to amk cause' it's my birthday :)

haha,i did quite a few stuff this week and last week, all in the name of my birthday..

haha..i bought a cute little Miss Naughty top on Wednesday..gonna wear it today with my favourite jeans cause' there's gonna be a lot of walking to do..

i went for express pedi with phylicia yesterday too..her baby's gonna pop soon :)

haha..can't wait to see her son..hope everything goes as she wanted..

talking about shopping..hubby and i bought our Samsung TV, finally..we went to the Sitex Fair at Expo last weekend..last day of the fair somemore..it was crowded like mad..i swear that's thousands of people..

Jonathan was there initially..we were supposed to head down to his house to check out his new condo..but then, he called and informed that he's at the Sitex, waiting for the TV price to fall..

so hubby and i decided to check it out too..

so we walked and walked around the exhibition hall..checking out the deals..

then, jonathan decided to just purchase his TV cause' it seems to be 'still that same price'..that was about an hour before closing..

he bought a Samsung 32 inches, Series 4..3 HDMI ports..it comes with a free home theatre system, a Samsung DVD and $150 Robinsons voucher..all for $1049..

so, after the purchase, he was standing outside and waiting for us while we were still looking..

then, 15 mins before the closing time and after walking though LG, Sharp, Pioneer and many many others..dear and i decided that we couldn't get a good deal and decided to walk towards the exit..

the exit was rather near t0 Samsung..so, i was thinking 'why not just check it out a last time before we go off home empty-hand?'

and so dear and i stood there..and suddenly, the Samsung gang took out the same TV set that Jonathan bought..with all the same freebies..

and he shouted '10 sets only'..

and then he finally shouted...."$999"..

haha...i turned to dear and asked him 'so how?'..just as i was expecting him to say no, don't want, wait la..he actually told me..ok, buy lor..

hahaha..i was so ecstatic lor..i pushed through aunties and uncles to snatch my TV..haha..i am rather good leh...turned out to be no. 6 in queue :)

haha, 6 is my birth date and my favourite no. too..

and so, we got the same LCD tv as jonathan but $50 cheaper :)

hee...what makes me feel super happy is that, after the purchase, i went to Harvey Norman to check out the price of the exact tv and found out that it's selling for $1199 with only a freebie (home theatre set or dvd or $200 voucher etc.)

haha, happie happie..now the tv is sitting at my home, waiting to be fixed :)

and one more amazing thing is..hubby and i actually took a train and a bus home with the tv cause' the taxi queue was simply long like hell..

haha..we saved quite a bit :)

hope no one saw my 'un-glam' side last weekend..hahaha
