Lamp looks crumpled because it is actually made of leather.

Colour is much vibrant. The cam phone doesn't do any justice !

Hi greglhc,

We'll only be shifting in after the lunar 7th month, as it'll be very rush to shift in and clean everything by next week, and furthermore fridge will only arrive in nov / dec. :(

You can enquire from other forum members as there are some using rinnai.

But standard has dropped over the years. It's funny that most stalls don't maintain standards after getting famous.

There's another good laksa at kelantan lane, also known as the Sungei Rd laksa. The gravy is boiled using charcoal. It doesn't belong to the "lemak" category, and it's nice in an "old school" and "ordinary way" if you get what I mean :)

Hope that helps.

After 4 months of wait...

The purchases from bo have finally arrived after some screw ups. Nevertheless, we were very happy with the service provided by the installers and the quality of the items. Though we bought only 3 items, they took a solid 3 hrs to install. Very impressed in their professionalism and they were very neat with minimal mess.

Dining table and sideboard: (to be frank we have not seen the real thing as they do not display all items. Luckily they looked better than online)

We thought the table and sideboard could be easily shifted. Boy, were we wrong !

Dining chairs and fridge will only arrive in approx. 2 mths' time. Hopefully there'll be no delays.

Chest of drawers:

We'll be taking our own sweet time in furnishing our place, as we will only shift in after the lunar 7th month. We still don't know why Mr.K was rushing to finish our project, as we have stressed to him umpteen times 慢慢來. And no, it was not because he wanted us to pay him asap but rather we guess it's his typical working style.

On a side note...

I was pretty impressed with the Black&Decker steam mop. The microfiber cloth from the steam mop was black from mopping even after my wife and i hand wiped the floor 3 times. I chose the black & decker over shark as of course, it's from black & decker, and its not as expensive as the shark.

Floor feels smooth after steam mopping, and I get a kick out from the whole process, knowing that the steam will break down stubborn stains.

Would recommend this to clean freaks like me.

Curtains and a bit more...

Quite a hectic day. Sofa, tv console, curtains, store racks arrived:

With the ugly telly:

I personally think that the TV (which my wife insisted on) looks bad on the sideboard. However ,being TV addicts, she stressed that we shouldn't change our habits/lifestyle just because it doesn't look good, and so heck it. Hopefully the arrival of the fridge and dining chairs will draw away the attention away from the ugly telly.
