the 1st time i called salesperson #1 didnt mention about ordering online, the discount or free courier. only when i called back 5mins later to check if they will be having sales soon, then salesperson #2 mentioned all this to me cos she said there wont be a sale so soon and not even sure if GSS will have any sales.

Hi XTR, not included, but my wiring is kept at minimum as I am not making false ceiling, so it's re-running some spoilt wires and adding few points... I do not need to re-run the whole house, that will save about 2k already :sport-smiley-004:

:(:bangwall: why cabinets so expensive

Yes, I do agree. The kitchen cabinets **** costly! LOL but no choice... Your quote is consider cheap cos EM is much more bigger. If hack expensive not even to mention carpentry work. Space does matter in SG..LOL

Sis mae, u teken him, he still treat u so nice, and u never "Deh"... your FS Kung Fu powerful , but your captivating power more powerful !!! :D

Sis, I ask my contractor buy Blum cheaper ? Or I buy myself cheaper :unsure: I only want to buy 1 piece of the Blum that can open the cabinet doors like Lamborghini car doors :sport-smiley-004:

Bro,

You creating a new Captivation Award huh? Then we start to look out for nominations. :lol:

One Blum system won't cost a bomb lah, considering all the expensive branded stuffs you had bought.

If contractor can get for u without marking up his commission, then get from him lor.
