Everyone thought of owning their own place since young. For me, I thought it will princessy to have one with all pink, white.. every guy's nightmare.
After getting married, I thought I want something english or countrystyle.
As I proceed to get my flat, I realised I dont have time to settle all home matters and engage my ID. Now, my home-to-be became modern. Hahah.. ironic.
Buy home staff is quite chiem. I ended with something I dont want. But learnt a lot.
Some tips:
1) Compared pricing. Places like gain city always have offers. But if you looked at estate electrical shops, it even cheaper. Example: near ikea Alexander, Goh Ah Bee etc. It's really cheaper by hundreds.
2) Do your homework, always ask about recommendation. If you get a good saleman at Denki, Courts, ask them to recommend the best brand at reasonable range. Estate sales at times represents brands.
3) Recommendation counts but looks at the actual products. Though saying is good but you may not be pleased with function, size or design.
4) Give flexibility and time (If it's possible)
I saw the adv. today. Teka is having sales.. :( Hubby and designer say I am too quality conscious. Or rather branded.. Hahah.. Quality life mah, it's my 1st home mah.
Well, in the end, we are more settled for main installation home items. Our listing:
1) Air-con: Daikin Multi (Not inventer, why? My MIL/FIL works in servicing aircon line, they know more, so for this I trust)
2) Hood: Brandt Chimney (Good at 1000m3/h)
3) Hod: Electrolux (Italy brand, made in Thailand) I heard a lot are made in China
4) Samsung fridge: 3 ticks and white to match our kitchen
5) Washing Machine: Panasonic
6) Cabinet all slow moving closure (Blum: too expensive)
We spend a bomb, thank God that we have a friend give us good discount for buying spart parts like racks etc.
Before Hub leave tmr, at least some peace that I may not get too involved in renovation.
Sigh, I am blogging from home, but not motivation to work on my assignment. :(
