Sat 25 Oct 2008

Part of our furniture is delivered, although we expected all to be here. Our coffee table will only arrive in early Nov. We went to Jurong Point and Chinese Garden to buy the light bulbs and some other small items like lighter, metal bowl and packs of dehumidifier. Too bad the blueish lights in the 2 bedrooms do not come in warm white. The blueish tone will disappear after months of usage.

The glass of the dining table is sprayed black and now it looks opaque. The table runner was bought from Bangkok way before reno starts and it matches our house well.

The CPU holder was delivered.

Our White Kitchen

On Tue 21 Oct, by right the rest of our furniture should be delivered but Melvin and guys didn't turn up. We couldn't reach him on his hp and shop no. So in the end we stayed in the house till 10+pm to write down a list of items we need to buy, touch up the edges of black laminate with marker and take down the light bulbs that we want to change. We also brought up things that we bought like toiletries and cushions to the house.
Our kitchen is done up. :) Below is its transformation from Feb to Oct.

Ikea & TANGS stuffs

We spent $120 worth of vouchers at TANGS to buy Tefal iron, anti-bacteria cutting board and 1 set of knives(2pcs) and scissors. We asked a friend of ours to get it for us as her mother works at TANGS. Collected the items from her on 12 Oct. On that day, we also bought 2 huge cushions at $16.90 each at Sun Plaza HomeStyle.

16 Oct, we went to Ikea and spent the final $20 voucher we had. There are quite a number of things we can buy but we limit our purchases on our immediate needs. In the end, we bought a dozen of glasses for $6, 5 packs of 5 hangers @ $1.50 each, a laundry bag for $ 5.90, a waste bin for $3 and 2 small brushes for $0.90.

On the coming Tue 21 Oct, the rest of our furniture will be delivered, finally. :) We've been waiting for it since the beginning of Sept. Slowly everything will fall into place and we can move in together after our wedding in Nov.
