Busy day!

Just finished printing some materials on our house (plan, quotes comparison etc.) as probably need to go through tomorrow after visit to our new house again. Need to make some exact measurements and take more pictures.

It had been a busy day for us and tomorrow will be similar. Dun even have much time for leisure as expected, especially after we get our keys and need to finalise an ID soon. Couple of IDs we met, made the exclamation that we are looking for an ID so late, which was a surprise to us. We did not want to rush into any b4 even viewing our flat coz we knew there will bound to be major changes. For example, we realised that the flat was not as big as we visualise from the floor plan and some parts of the flat need to be hacked (like the balcony door and study area walls). Its really no point if we find them to quote so early and will probably expect a re-quote later.

Anyway we met 3 IDs today, 1st one at Balestier where the ID was late for 1/2 hr coz she had rushed out to get some stuff. The ID was actually one of my IRC fren's wife but she dun look the friendly type. I also think that communication with her was not so smooth and she practically got no smile on her face. Should not be using her even though she's so far one of the cheaper ones. I dun trust her credibility coz heard she's one forgetful person and rather hostile kind. Took us 1 hr 45 mins for the session and both of us were quite high tide after that and had to use the washrooms from a nearby coffeeshop.

The 2nd one was at Thomson Rd, just a short walk away and the ID was late too! We had rested at the coffeeshop nearby and had some snacks and drinks and climbed up 4 storeys then realised he's not back yet. We went down since its rather warm there and sat downstairs waiting for him. I had a stomachache since morning and endured till had to release then at the coffeeshop toilet. Lucky thing the toilet was quite clean (coz not much crowd there on weekends) but too bad no toilet paper. Almost used up one pack of tissues, should have brought along a toilet roll!!

This ID was delayed at a site at Tampines and we had to wait almost 1/2 hr for him as well. It started raining quite heavily when we finally met him and lucky thing it stopped by the time we were done. Both IDs took us about 1 hr 45 mins. Have asked this 2nd one to re-quote and will meet him again when its ready coz he's somehow more trustable and knowledgeable. More or less he gave us the confidence that he will handle the project well and his pricing was quite good too.

The next stop was at Eunos and we have about an hr to get there. We took a bus to Lavender mrt stn (walking distance), went to relieve ourselves then took a bus down. The ID was also rushing back from somewhere but lucky she was not really late as we were about 20 mins early so waited at the nearby CC until she's back.

The discussion took us ard the same time as the earlier 2 and I was damn hungry by then. Web was falling asleep while the ID was trying to work out stuff to quote, measuring here and there.
She was quite detailed and told us try to save here and there but she's the only one so far who din prepare a prior quote for us so will have to meet her again.

After seeing these 5 IDs (2 earlier), we more or less will shortlist to the later 2 we met today. Their pricing and professionalism attracted us more than anything. Of coz we would prefer a guy so the Thomson Rd one stands a better chance. So far out of the 5, 3 were females IDs. Actually this Thomson Rd one was supposed to be a female designer too but she was out of town thus this sale guy attended to us. Probably I should consider venturing into this line as well... hahaha... just kidding la, I would not want to burn all my weekends as IDs usually work 7 days week... tough!!

Went for dinner at a coffeeshop near the Eunos mrt stn and strolled abit b4 taking a bus back. Web alighted halfway to change a bus home while I took to AMK mrt stn and took a train home.
