Long weekend

We just spent our long weekend to shop for the house. On Saturday we went to Ikea and we like a dining table there. It's very cheap but it seems only me and darling like it. The rest prefer square. But it's OUR dining table! So .. :P

We also met up with a contractor who look super blur. Like he just woke up like that. The best thing is, he didn't bring measuring tape. If I didn't bring mine to measure for furnitures, what is he there for without his measuring tape huh?

On Sunday we went to hunt for wardrobe and kitchen. We went to Lifestyle Kitchen, Maxima, and etc etc. Apparently shops in Kota Damansara give us cheaper quote than shops in TTDI. And I was so surprised to find out a simple wardrobe can cost more than RM 10,000. For a wardrobe? Hello?

I am feeling quite miserable coz I have not found any contractors or shops or person who I feel I can trust and engage him. Is it that hard? You need to have a good feeling with the person/shop, and then the price is what you can accept. It's all about money ...

On Monday the person who does electrical point and aircond point came to see the apartment and quote. It's going to cost RM 4,000. Someone ask me oh include aircond is it? Lei jau siong lor. For the points and installation only!!!!

See such a small thing also cost 4K d. Then lai lai wants to get another guy to quote. If we go on and on like this, I think we are going to move in by .... Christmas. Or new year perhaps ...

The noon time programme was more pleasant. We went to LDP perabot mall to see furnitures. We were very down at first. Coz it's all so ugly. Then we have our hope back after like 5 shops. Price is acceptable and we like the design too. We have a very yim chim taste for bed frame. The lorenzo type is so lou tou, and the wood type is not nice. We finally find one that we like at enoma collection. The japanese style!!! ;) By the way we find Lorenzo's furnitures are very big and bulky. And of course I don't have to mention .. it's super expensive.

I have another contractor coming tomorrow. We quite like him. Hopefully this is the one. I am sien d. I am like aunty buying stuff at the market ... look all the stalls, just to get the cheapest deal. What to do? 钱不够用!!

each individual has his/her own preference. there is no ugly furniture, I think.

but i strongly suggest that you buy whatever that pleases you and your husband, and not others.

do remember that, you are the ones that will stay there, not them.
