Monday, March 26, 2007 Collected the keys to our new home last Fri afternoon! Yippeee..Actually, the previous owners wanted to ask for another week's extension to clear the house but after our agent told them, they need to pay us $250 for a week's rental, they decided to move out their stuff by that Friday. hehehee Anyway, they left many of their potted plants & pots outside the flat. Guess we have no choice but to throw it away for them. Potted plants for sale anyone?? :P Then on Saturday, we went to select our floor & wall tiles for the house. We went to this place at Toh Guan where they have a HUGE selection of tiles on the 1st floor and showroom on the 2nd floor. Very nice. As usual, there'll be differences to the preference of the tiles I like and what Mic like. So we decided, I'll choose the tiles for the master bathroom, while he, the common bathroom. Kitchen floor tiles, both of us liked the same tiles...so no issue. As for the living room & foyer floor tiles, we were given those homogenous tiles to choose from (based on our contract quotation) based on $3.20 psf. But we liked one which is$3.40 psf...which means we need to top up abit. BUT Mic is now thinking of getting those super glossy homogenous tiles which are $4 psf...and that also means we need to top up quite a bit! I objected cuz it's not practical!! I have to be the devil's advocate cum financial controller when it comes to such things cuz Mic has a habit of indulge-spending. So right now, we are still deciding....& maybe reach a compromise. If he wants the expensive floor tiles, then he'd have to give up something expensive in the house (i.e glass door for the toilet). Anyhow, I think we're going on a quite fast-forward mode (or call us "kan-cheong"). We already placed orders for some of the furnitures - mattress, bedframe, dining table, coffee table, pole system for our walk-in wardrobe & carpet. That left us with sofa & dining chairs. Our reno should start in 1st week of April and it will be busy busy busy period for us. Still got many things to get (i.e. kitchen sink, hood & hob, electrical applicances) & do! |
