Its been a busy morning but I need to take a breather so here I am...
Sunday
Went shopping with Web and his mum at Chinatown. We mainly shopped at OG, from 2nd floor to 3rd floor, then down to basement and back to 1st floor. I din buy anything but they both had a fruitful trip. Auntie bought 3 tops, 2 bags, 1 small wallet and 2 pairs of shoes while Web bought a shirt, a tie and a pair of shoes for our ROM this Saturday. The last stop was at Bata at People's Park Complex b4 we call it a day and took a cab back to Web's house. By then I almost needed a bed! We watched abit of TV programmes then went to pack dinner, ate and watched more TV (prob the longest time I spent in front of the TV since dunno when) until ard 10.30pm then took a cab home.
Was damn tired and having a slight headache when I was home but bro and Peggy came over so chatted with them about their wedding stuff until almost 11.30pm that I finally went to shower. Felt so much better after that, popped some headache pills and went off to bed ard 12am++.
Saturday
Finally settled our sofa set and dining table set at Defu Furnitures in AMK. It would be the last place we would think of getting stuff from there as the last few times we were there, nothing really fancy us (except a dining table set which was the one we got). The salesgal gal Katherine was very friendly (to our surprise as no one served us during the last few visits) and able to recommend us a sofa set to our liking and budget. Got a set with PU instead of leather (or half leather) coz its easier to maintain, more lasting and most importantly cheaper. Together with the dining set, we managed to negotiate for free delivery/ installation, GST waived off as well as about 10% discount off the total price. Now considering to get a small TV console as well but haven't called her.
Started off in our new house again in the morning to take exact measurements of some areas we missed everytime. We then went to Novena Furnishing at Hougang Plaza to take measurements of the stuff we bought (to make sure they fits) and to exchange our shoe cabinet for a tall shelf as we decided to use the divider at the main entrance and the cabinets can be used as a shoe cabinet. Wanted to get a set of chest drawers which we missed the last time but unfortunately, its a last piece again so we have to give it a miss.
Took a bus to Tanjong Katong Complex and checked out the Green again for any new furnitures (esp sofa set and dining table set) but went out empty handed. The half-leather sofa set was too ex and out of our budget so decided to go to the Furniture Warehouse to take a look 1st b4 working out our budget again, who knows we eventually got it at AMK. They recommended us a marble table dining set but as usual, too out of budget and we did not intend to go for marble (preferred clear glass) thus did not get it. We then headed for dinner at the nearby hawker centre then took a bus back to AMK. Had decided to take a break but dropped by the Defu Furniture anyway and who knows, we managed to get our stuff there!
Good thing that now we got most of our furniture stuff and probably will not need a trip down to Jurong East again. The last stuff we need now is a small TV console for our resource room (last known as cosy room but realised that its more of a resource area with TV and laptops etc. so renamed) and a bigger coffee table for our newly proposed tea corner.
Now we will need to start looking out for electrical appliances by end of June. Angeline has offered to help us buy some Philips home appliances at at least 40% off as her bf works there so will pass her a list soon. Our ID Pris will probably bring us down to buy all those toilet and kitchen accessories as well as lightings soon.
