Lights & Furniture Shopping

Finally! Hacking works is goin to start today. Pete & I went to Balestier, Jln Besar & Beach Road to confirm all our lights & sofa yesterday.

Although we have seen the lights at Chan Huat & more or less we would be getting the lights we've seen. We still spent a total of close to 3 hours making our FINAL choice.

Here are the lights we got :)

Living Hall Downlights

Study Cum Playroom Light

Dining Table Light

Dining Table Light (Lit)

Chloe's Room Light (Cute!!)

Service Yard Light


We were still short of our Master bedroom light, passageway & light for our house entrance as we couldnt find any to our liking.

After purchasing the lights, we headed to Royal Fanco to confirm our sink & tap fixtures. As Henry could not match the price that Poh Joo gave us for the oven & hob set, we decided to go for the better deal. However, we were 15 mins late! After walking a stretch along Jln Besar, getting soya bean for Chloe & fish balls for her snack (she refused to eat rice!!) we found the shop was closed. Arrgh!! wasted trip.

Next stop, Furniture Mall. Again we spent another 3 hours hagging over prices with the sales guy Kenneth. I must say we got good service from him. The sad part? Forking out $112 additional for our sofa & dining set as the price had increased tremendously over 2 weeks after we first met him! We eventually settled for the $xxxx price tag :P

Love this sofa! It's water proof & has sliding mechanism at the sitting portion. There is plenty of room for guests to sit & we can NUA anyway we like. We chose the black Tuflon leather cos we thought it will go with our theme.



Next comes our dining table. Got a round glass one instead of a rectangular one (I dun like wood) as we thought it's safer in case Chloe bangs herself around in the house :P Initially we wanted to have it spray painted in Black so our legs will not be seen when dining :P We were advised against by Kenneth as over time, the paint might chip...well so we took his advise.


Well, so far so good, though we were exhausted (so were our pockets), I am quite excited now, cant wait for my new house to take shape.
