Hi ladies :>

mi actually wan the samsung one also... so pretty and sleek. hehe

but the the image really cannot compare with other brands... quite grainy, though it has got high contrast ratio. *blur* then some sales person recommend us Toshiba... the image is really nice, design is ok (not as sleek, but can do). so prob getting that.

MoMoCharz: maybe u can go Lavender to see? they have very very nice dresses. also recommend some websites for u:

http://www.la*iebridal.com/ (replace * with v)
http://www.niorcreation.com/
http://www.dressingroommedia.com/

Hello Sailor moon,

For quality, Sharp and Toshiba are better choices but Samsung wins in its design. So it really depends on your preference. I still don't know yet.. aiming 37 inch and 26 inch. it costs $4K plus.. heart pain..

Momocharz, seems like everything is going well for u too. Good luck in your ROM and dress selection.
 
Dao jia hao~

Winnie, thanks for the websites! will take a look and if not find inspirations from there! ;)
Too bad we missed each other last sat, your house is 80% done up right?

Sailormoon, my dad actually against the idea of LCD or plasma tv. To him, conventional ones are cheap and practical. He said repair costs also cheaper. That somehow helped us in a way to make decision as to which tv to get, a reasonable priced one first. Who knows I may strike lottery for my unit number!Then dun have to consider so much! whahaha...!

Diaodu, you buy 37" lah, next time got football we go up your unit to watch together! We'll bring tidbits to share... kekeke...
I really hope everything will be smooth sailing man, the ROM decision was made quite rushed actually, and worst, turn out the date is super hot, popular JPs all booked, cheap and good venue all booked, so we were like, jus call and ask, got cheap and reasonable we take kind. So I may not really get what i wish or want loh... :'(
But ok lah, my mentality is spend more on house, our own mah, the wedding will be over and forgotten! hehe, so ok ok one can liao.
(Ah Q 精神) ~^o^~
 
oh forget to mention, I managed to settle my ROM venue so quickly coz of Ms SAILORMOON! emm.. sorry, MDM SAILORMOON!

she's a walking wedding directory man, she suggested this place, we called, and BINGO! still available!

Heng ah! =)
 
hahaha..stargal...i tink all of us here had burnt the biggest pocket in our whole entire 20s life man! we all hv to rely on eating porridge with salted eggs frm now on liao ... tighten our belts!
so how much did u spend on yr reno? yrs is 5 Rm or 4 Rm flat?

momcharz: oooi~~~ dont call me Mdm leh..machiam i very old wor... *hehe* i m still missy sailormoon okie
kao_wink.gif

so hapi for u tat everyting goes on well..aiyo..dun need to be so ke qi with me lah...i will defintely offer my help or ideas if u need them...or mayb i hv the interest in doing all these mah...or mayb should i say i very kay poh one lah... wanna poke my nose into people once a lifetime happy event
biggrin.gif

so hv u got yr wedding bands? plus yr ring pillow ne`?

Diaodu/Momocharz: mm... i feel tat the whole ting abt doing research on TV/Kitchen hood lah/fridge etc. the more u read...the more confused u get...& the more u wont wan to read... sigh~~
so vexed abt the whole ting .... so many choices to look frm ... but hv to work within a tight budget .... pardon my little grumbles... keke...
 
sailormoon...porridge with salted eggs is considered a delicacy liao loh...hehe...

i spent about $31k on my reno including lights n electrical stuffs....i got a 5 room executive...including furniture...i spent abt $45k on my house liao....now still slowly paying debts...cos i took reno loan n also bought those big items on instalments...
 
wow...stargal...u spend quite abit on yr whole reno hor..yr love nest must be very nicely decorated & furnished .... got any links or pic for us here to share share?
happy.gif


mmm...i hope to spend within a budget of $35K .. not exceeding $38K *keeping my fingers crossed*
else i tink we hv to eat cow grass & not porridge with salted eggs liao... *LOL*
 
Haha.. the super hot date is 7th Oct loh.. dun tell me you are also one of them hor Lightz... tell you smthg, when we went to check out HTS hor, my bf kept saying Lightz one hor this, Lightz one hor that... I was on the verge of telling him, i give you hp you call yourself to ask want or not...-_-"

Aiyo Sailormoon, dun say kaypoh, that time I really panick liao, lucky you helped to calm me down. Yah, jus bought our wedding bands last week, after nagging from friends, told me need to wait one loh if dunno have our sizes. I always tot go shop choose, pay then that's it, so dun nid to buy so early. :p

A few weeks back hor, we've been to Best Denki, HN and Courts so many times that I think they gng to kick us out. We always ask ask ask but didn't buy, esp the IMM branch. Now see us also bo chap, siao liao, kenna black listed. My dad taught me, go for a few brands you prefer, talk to the sales for these brands. Make comparison yourself between those you like rather than ask the person to recommend, they will always recommed the brand they got commission one.

Stargal, now my bf also complained that i even control what he had for lunch! I will always say today i eat $2 nia, you eat western food! whahaha..!

Today I siao siao, tok so much..

Haha, if he really interested, you will give it to us as house warming gift!? He jus like to comment that Lightz's one better than this, got this, this, this (sorry, i dun understand what he's blabbering about). Want budget yet want very good stuff.. sibei cham..

Stargal, since we got the flat, I didn't go shopping le hor!! That's a torture to me already. hehe...

Winnie, need everybody to contribute too, else only two siao-eh talking here, very boring one.. haha..
Your hubby hor very cute, always forget to bring keys one! Your reno very fast, you are the latest among us to get keys yet finishing soon!
You gng overseas for work ah? Few weeks?

I think Sailormoon, Joan and me loh, provided can find a location for banquet, another last min preparation on a hot date.. kekeke..
 
Hi Momocharz,

Yes, always welcome! next time come to my place for soccer lor.. hee.. Good that u managed to
secure a place for your ROM. I guess Oct 7 will be a special date for both of u in future then. Oct 7 is my first date with my bf...hee... and we are attending our friends' wedding on that day this year.

Sailormoon, yes, i know what u mean. I got very confused as i see more and more TVs. But I secured my hod and hood quite sometimes back. Belari brand... we fell in love with this brand the day we set our eyes on it. it's really beautiful. Think there's a thread on it.
 
momocharz....mi also dun dare go shopping liao...too much temptations out there....hehe....i m running out of clothes to wear for work... :P
 
diaodu: oh! u got the Belari Brand... tink i saw tis brand a couple of times in the HOme & deco mag... okie...will go check it out....

ladies...i heard tat tis shop "audio house" hv very cheap electrical products...a few of my colleagues actually went there to get their items...heard its a few hundred cheaper than outside price...

check tis webbie out...
http://www.audiohouse.com.sg

winnie: i will PM u when i need to customise my sofa (provided i cant find any) tink i gonna go funiture mall tis wkend to take a look bah... so do u still wanna browse thru the curtains then?

momocharz: when u wanna browse thru the curtains ? for us...tink we will install sometime in mid nov bah.....

stargal: YAH!!! *head nod nod* i oso noe... cant go out and shop freely....everytime i wanna buy someting...will find execuses tat i dun need them...haha... anyway, i m saving up for BKK trip end of the year to go grab nice bags (the other time i went there...bgt 3 bags in one shot) *shiok*
 
juz a little contribution...i heard of a case of someone buying from audio house...cheap...but then have to be careful that u dun get a display set...unless they pointed out that u r buying a display set n u agreed...otherwise pls be careful not to be duped...

sailormoon...so shiok u can go BKK...i wan to go holiday also....but can onli think of it after my AD liao....
 
I have been comparing prices and Bukit batok Svensen, a electronics wholesaler offers better price than audio house and other reputable electronics house.

They have discount vouchers, interest free installments also. But I don't know if they sell display set or not.. hee..

Thanks MoMoCharz.
Tell your hubby not to compare loh...
Good & budget stuffs usually will not exist together.

As far as possible, I'll try to go for good stuffs... but i think i over-spent abit during the process. -_-!!
 
hey guys!
long time no see! seems to exciting now that everyone's getting on with their stuff since the long n dreary night outside hdb...~~

sorry so long never come in liao.. super busy around here... today saturday also back in school..later gotta take the kids out for competition until 5 plus then can come back to school n go home...sobsob..

talking abt electrical goods, yeah everywhere has its 'special' brand coz they will usually push brands that are 'on promotion' or maybe will push coz wan to clear stock. i got my toshiba 37inch lcd (the 37..66) sorry cant rem the model.. 2 months ago it was retailing outside for 3299, but i got mine at 2650 ..haha! my samsung fridge outside retailing for 899 i got mine at 680, samsung WM outside 799, i got at 600 (that time promotion got another 100 giant voucher)..
all gotten from DAV (great service at good prices! every time we go down there hubby has a good time chatting with vince..(the owner))
wanted to get the HTS from them too but they didnt carry the brand onkyo, so hubby bought at harvey norman at 1550.. they had another set at 799 but he say that one not good enough.. (i cant hear the diff loh)

also, furniture got from nova - L shape sofa (same as angel's ) retailing price 1499++, we bargained for 1299nett (waived 5% gst n $80 delivery) plus two FOC throw cushions, wardrobe UP 1399++, bargained for 1200 nett. (so actually these 'fixed price places also can bargain 1!!)

novena - TV console UP 499, bargained for 420nett plus change the legs FOC.

cellini - bed frame UP 600, discount 20% so at 480nett. mattress 1600, 50% discount with any purchase so 800.

hope this helps somehow..
n also, from experience, its easier to get what u want if your salesperson is young n new.. haha..coz they got target to meet, n will give to the max if u know how to haggle coz they need to make the sale even if their commission is lower. older, more experienced ones always wan to earn more n usually reluctant to give more discount.

at nova, we at first went to the jurong east one, got an older salesperson. he say the sofa LOWEST he can give us is 1400 nett, but we went to the paya lebar one, a younger n more eager salesperson gave us to 1200 nett loh.

alamak, sorry for the long post... must be too long never come in liao, so much to say..~~heh
 
Hi all! :> Greeetings fr London! It is now 11 pm in here and it's my first day. I'll be here for 5 wks, and then going to travel to barcelona and paris for 1 wk.
happy.gif


Sailormoon: ya, still keen on the curtains. i'll PM u my HB's contact, then u all can ask him along when u're going. dun think i'll be back by then.

anyway, tat day HB went down to COMEX cos he saw audio house selling tis Toshiba 32" tv for 1000+. but when he went down, said already sold out... so wondering if it's juz gimmicks :p
 
hi winnie!
wow 5 weeks! so shoik! by the time u come back i'll be ready to wave the kids bye bye for 2006 liao..haha..

hi grace!
aiya, no choice loh..some ppl know how to siam responsibility wat.. tsk tsk..leave behind all the cleaners to clean up loh.. haha..
the actual one will be this thurs. sat was for the interview presentation.. still ok loh.. but one team's robot's rcx came of while demonstrating, so they kinda sianz..

btw ppl, i bought my tv at 2750, not 2650! sorrie! 2650 was for the 55 model we initially booked. but we changed our order to the 66 model at 2750.
 
morning ladies!

Magical (.") hey sweetie... its been long since u last came into tis thread.... miss yr bubbly cheery self..
happy.gif
glad u r back into "action" agn... hehehehehe...
oh...u got yr stuffs frm DAV...i rem reading a thread somewhere & read good customer service comments frm tis place... i bet u must be another happy & satisfied customer loh...

winnie: i rv yr hb contact liao...will pass to my hb and get him to liaise with him...'\
wah! u r there for holiday purposes or go there to work? so nice....for 5 weeeks!! even if go there for work, oso very shiok ah... hehehe
 
diaodu: tks for the contact...i will drop by & check out the prices then.... but should be the lowest among all cos i noe u alwys hv done extensive research enough to draw such conclusion de... *hardworking diaodu*
happy.gif


stargal: no lah....its jus tat the other time we went , we realise tat there r alot of nice home & deco stuffs..but tat time, we hvnt got our flat yet mah..so we said to go back BKK & buy them when our flat is ready loh... i told my mum abt it...my mum says where got cheap...the price hv to include the ticket to BKK for two pax...its more or less comparable to spore price le... aiyah, but go BKK buy can oso go on short trip at the same time mah... kekekeke.. i miss their spa & their mango sticky rice *slurp~~*
 
sailormoon: i'm here for training :> but i'll be taking a wk off after tat to go travelling. love the weather here... natural air-con. hehe

think my HB's friend bought all his appliances fr DAV as well... got a very gd deal. but said to get quotes fr dav himself. we went down once, and he's not ard and seems like the price quoted by his worker not tat cheap.

HB bought our mattress over the wkend. we bought Sealy Mayfair. got price protection, so not too bad.
 
wow! so lucky! can go to such a nice place for training... *envy leh* must rem to take alot of photos and share with us okie .... its reali a good exposure for u yah... must cherish the moments there while on training ... hey, u can ask hb to fly ovr there after yr training oso .. pre-honeymoon holis!
