Will write a review on my experience with the various parties over the next few days. This is what it looks like the second day of unpacking.... Still have so much stuff... The floor is so dirty and dusty that we are just wearing those hotel slippers for the time being... -

Taobao Purchases... How can I not buy from taobao.... But my Chinese is very bad.... Fortunately, my colleague is very proficient with taobao. She bought almost everything there. So I asked her to help me search for rugs. She immediately told me she bought some rugs from taobao before and showed me the various options.... The price is so cheap. When I walk into any shop that sell rugs here, it will cost from $700+ to $2000. A couple of online rugs store in Singapore sell their rugs from $200+ to $500. In taobao, I bought 4 different type of rugs and of different sizes, the total cost including shipping is only about $200. This saves me at least $1k. Here's some pics of the rugs I bought... For living room and a smaller one for the master bedroom For the TV room so that the rocking chair can sit on it For the study room for the study chair to sit on it -

When I took delivery of my dining table, intuitively, I find that the dimension is not right. But I don't have my measuring tape with me. So I asked the delivery staff what's the dimension. I guess he doesn't have measuring tape with him, he just look at the invoice and read to me the dimension which was written when I bought it. The dimension of the table is supposed to be 1.6m x 0.8m. Today, I brought the measuring tape up to measure the table and my fear is confirmed. The dimension is wrong. It's 1.5m x 0.9m. You may wonder what's the difference.... It actually makes a lot of difference, because the table looks too short as there are more space for the length of the table. Whereas, I purposely customized a 0.8m table because of space constrain. That's why the place looks tight and the dining light is not in the center of the table.... I called the staff who sold me the table today, she said she'll check for me tomorrow and will let me know. Hope she will get it fixed for me... Sigh... -

Today I installed my store room rack... I happen to see this galvanized finish rack and like it. But after installation, I got mixed feeling if I like it??? It looks ok, but I think not as sturdy as those using plywood... The weight it can take per shelf is 150kg. But then again, I may not have so much heavy things to put on the rack. -

I seems to miss out sharing of the TV I purchase... In my research, I narrowed my choice of TV to 3 brands: Samsung, LG and Panasonic. So after looking at the various models, I decided to get the one that gives me the best value and it happens to be the cheapest amongst these 3 brands... The model I bought is Panasonic TH-55AX670S for the living and TH-48AX670S for the TV room. This is an slightly older Panasonic model compared to what they have today, so the price is much lower.... But surprisingly, the specs imo is better than the new ones. This one got 3D SMART and 1200Hz. The new ones some have 3D but no SMART, some have SMART but 3D... -

On the left side of the living area cabinet/TV console is the shoe cabinet Wifey loves it. Now she got lots of space to put her shoes... She does not need to stack up her shoes on top of each other or put in store room... The shelf is adjustable depending of the height of the shoes or boots -

Yes, he's good. The wait of 1 week to meet him was worth it. But I worry that he may not be able to deliver before I shift in, although he said he will try his best.
