Gers> u all bought mattress already? Went to serta yesterday. Was told that the serta mattresses r v heavy. If custom made bedframe need to be v sturdy. Is this the same for simmons mattress too?? Am tinking might as well buy the bedframe fr serta too. But like that no storage liao. And if buy bedframe from outside need to do feature wall or not huh? The ID i met yesterday seem to support the idea of feature wall for bedframe.
Wat u all tink?

Mine is a simmons mattress.. last time I buy a $250 cheap mattress can really cannot compare lor.. cause its very light that kind. Simmons or Serta these branded mattess of coz is heavy cause its thicker too mah. Normal mattress is like 8 - 9 inch and the one I have is 14inch le... its 6-5 inch difference le.
My brother got the bed from Serta with the mattress... ya la no storgage. You can get storage bed from outside... just tell them its meant for bed and how tall you want it to be and not too tall cause next time you preggy have to get off the bed easily ma... must think of this cause its very important.
Feature or not.. is up to you but its an extra cost lor. Not check hor... at least 1k else you can go fro wallpaper abt 500 of a slab of wall. You seen my reno blog... you can see my bed from there le.

feimei> ur agent very good hor.. personally waive off the gst for u.. so unlike mine, tt idiot..
i think older folks like to complain anyways.. like sometimes i buy snacks bk from overseas for my MIL, she will either complain too sweet, too salty, too oily, etc... so jz gv to her then ignore rest of comments, cos after complain will still eat..
val> i bought a serta also.. think its ard 14-15inch thick bah.. so when get bed sheets must also chk that its long enuff for the thick bed..
christy has a good point abt the bed being too tall next time u preggy a bit dangerous.. but think if u want think can get storage bed from king koil or dunlopillo..

Val> Cause you are having a wedding if you attend funeral is crashing no good de.
Is the same on CNY time if got funeral normally pple with avoid de.
Do remember that on your AD if you see a funeral below your house make a detour to avoid the funeral... some pple go to the extend that if on your AD you see another weddong couple you also got to avoid.

Hi all
I am finally back.. been a mad 2 weeks in new job.. everyone is now doing renovation and asking for quotes! How exciting....
For me, another FSM came and they said about the same thing, so we asked for a way to minimise damage when we shift the stove and shifted it. ID havent got back on the price though but it has already been shifted. The main door got to have some changes as well.
Now looking for a nice tv console that can fit HB's big sound system... so jialat, all the nice ones cannot fit.. THinking of a retro theme also cannot le...
Christy: How do i get to see your reno blog? I scroll up and down but cannot find. I blur bah...
Val: What time u moving out on ur AD? I have quite an early time and bought a red brolly so to reduce chance of meeting any funerals "chu bin" on the way to my HB's hse...

Hi all
I have missed out so much ah...
Like Feimei, I have been cleaning up after the ID..hahaa... quite tedious.. HB and I got to take turns cos he works shifts.. so quite complex to coordinate time... My furniture would be in on 25 sep, at least the first batch.. then we decide what else to put in...
The FSM is coming over to fix my door.. apparently need to tilt front door... and the stove, ya, we got the ID to exchange 2 slabs of granite top position to fix the issue but in the process of pulling out the top that has JUST been fixed, there is some slight damage to the abs trimming of the kitchen cabinet (SO HEARTACHE!!)
Anyway, thats over le.. starting to paint house... then waiting for FSM to give date to shift in...
Tmw is JB shoot there! Pray for me for good weather!
Butters> I met up with Gerald yesterday! He is so funky lor.. Where you find him de?? I most probably go with him... did you do any additional flush mount album? I like his style (both pic n person)
