1/4 Done and We're Broke..

Another long, busy and eventful week. A pocket busting week too. Both our bank accounts took such a beat that I've a feeling that it'll take years for them to recover. Nevertheless, we're happy, and I guess that's what that matters most...

First of all, an update on the house:

Ta-da!! They've finish laying the kitchen tiles.. Pretty pretty...

The bathroom tiles in the shower area. Hubby's so proud of them. Because he chose them himself.

L-box and false ceiling is up in the living and dining room!!

False wall up in our bedroom.

Anna's false wall panel. This is for her wardrobe.

Besides that, the aircon is up too. But i must say I was kind of disappointed with their work. It look so sloppishly done. Meeting Henry this coming Friday, will have to discuss with him about it.

Painting starts today.. can't wait to go there to have a look this evening!!

We've bought nearly everything that is needed for the house too. That's the reason for the BIG hole in our pockets.

The blue glass basin for the common bathroom. And the w.c (water closet) for both the bathrooms. On top of that, the stand for the glass basin and new water faucets for both the bathroom.

Our kitchen sink. We really love this! And we got it at quite a bargain too!!

Our hob by EF - Elba. Who would have known that stainless steel comes in different shades?? We find that this matches our Franke sink best!

Our Cuizino oven. Love the look.. and the price..

Our Samsung washer. Chose this model myself. Got my wish to have a frontloading washer.. Yes!! Besides that we got a Elba dryer too. No more struggling with the bamboo pole after washing! Goodbye smelly damp clothes! Hello crispy dry clothes!! Yum yum!!

And lastly, our most expensive buy:

Samsung 42" plasma tv! Heavenly...

We got all this from Asia Excel Marketing in IMM. Ray, the boss is a very nice guy, patient and friendly. We spent a whooping 6k in total here. Besides the above, we bought 2 sets of bathroom accessories, a mirror, 2 shower sets, 2 corner shelves, and a heater for Aaron's grandma. A big OUCH!!! from both of us.

We've also made our lighting purchase over the weekend. A total of $650 spent here. Got everything from Edison Lighting in Balestier, thanks to Ray's recommendations. Patrick, the in- charge is yet another nice guy. Friendly, and gave us lots of good advice. Will only be able to post the pictures of them when the lights is up though. I absolutely love the dining light we purchased. Can't wait for it to be hung up!

The only glich I guess we had the last week was from our sofa and dining table purchase. Don't really want to go into detail nor name anybody. But, we faced a really rude staff at Milan Furnitures. Things were settled eventually, but I was really unhappy with the way they deal with our problem when it could be handled amicably. Well, let's just say sarcasm and rudeness should never appear in the dictionary of customer service.

Oh.. and a Birthday wish to Anna. A year older as of 3rd of July, hopefully, a year wiser ya! We celebrated over the weekend staying at Conrad's, using the voucher i redeemed from StarHub. Had a great time.. Aaron's estatic with the fact that he doesn't have to drive all the way home after a late night out. He simply doesn't like driving, weird, for a guy.. Dave's so excited with all the chocolate cakes around him.. hmmm... come to think of it, the two guys seems to be having more fun that us girls...lol!! Boys...
