wah, u r lucky woman! for me, is the reverse. i am the cook, hubby wash.. and mind u, its juz wash the plates after dinner hor. to think that sometimes he even complain about it!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

anyone who is a real cook should know that while cooking the several dishes, sometimes in between also got to do a lot of washing (esp the wok).. unless u got like 3 woks lah! also preparation is even harder then cooking part sometimes.

you using ID or contractor?

if ID she should bring you go choose tiles mah

but if contractor then it's up to yourself what kind of tiles to choose liao

i'd recommend balestier rd, near ah hood rd opposite balestier primary (secondary?) school

there's a row of tile shops - LSH, Hafary and Hup Kiong, not forgetting a shop that seems to specialise in natural stones

you can get a rough idea of what each shop offer then make another trip to the bigger showrooms to make your final choice

as for getting the tiles, just give the shop name and tile model no. to your ID and she'll get it for you

they get kickbacks in such deals
