hmm can't really find the address on the internet

the one i went to is on level 3

remember to look for alvan coz it seems that the rest of the salesperson quite bochap one

hee... thanks linggie! i tot of ikea too.. saw tis 2 models..

i'm currently sleeping on the MALM model on the left side, is a single.. frame is blue color.. so i tot if consider tis model again.. will b getting white 1..

but ikea beds tend to hv "yik yik yik" sounds one leh..

my current one is from Ikea also...served me well for past 5 yrs. heard alot bad review about Ikea but cant pinpoint what is really not good? !!

actually ikea things are broadly divided into two categories

solid wood ones and chip board ones

the solid wood range is good and can last many years, but pricey too

the chip board ones are filmsy, cannot touch water and generally can't last too long !!

oh.. if not much movements on bed.. shldn't be any problem.. my current ikea beds also served me very well n sturdy for the past 5yrs.. only when times my insomnia relapse n keep tossing on bed i'd hear the yik yik yik sounds loh.. i tink is cos the base is wooden strips n not a one piece board.. tats y got the yik yik yik sound..

for my new place.. really need a sturdy one piece solid board no less than 9mm thickness to support the simmons mattress as adviced by the showroom saleslady..

COngratulations xlan! U muz be counting down oredi.....to the day u take ur keys....

So if u start ur renos in late Oct, shd be fully ready b4 CNY nxt yr....good timing...

hee.. thank u greycat & cantona..

actually apart frm happy & excited.. i'm v super duper stress abt the $.. can't get into sleep at nite.. insomnia again le..

all those previous visits to HDB n calculation we did with the officers.. now it is no more telly with the latest letter that inform us to key collection.. it stated how the sums will b done, n in a quite messy way.. i took some time to figure out what is what and which deduct which then derived the final figure.. etc..

then bee joy (1 of the SERS neighbour) had the same problem as me.. got different figures when they were collecting keys and was told by the officer many others walked home w/o able to sign the paper due to insufficient funds..

i m super stress.. cos i gotta die die make sure we have the sum n figures right in order to have sufficient funds to collect our keys.. i'm the only 1 to deduct CPF.. papa is only available frm 13th - 18th in SG.. airtix booked n can't change schedule already.. even if i need to pull out investments in CPF also not enough time now.. ARGH...
