Headed down to Harvey Norman's sale @ Expo for a walk and ended up buying things for our new house again. This time round we saw a good promotion from Bosch where there is a bundle promotion for the oven & microwave oven package. FOC Harvey Norman $50 in additional to the special price of $1370 which makes this bundle cost at $1320 instead. The even better deal about this package is that we are able to pay by Interest free credit card installment payment. This will allow us to stretch our overall funding to the maximum it possibly able to.

We actually wanna buy other brands like elba which will likely cost us about $1.2K from Mega discount store but papaTan felt more comfortable in buying Bosch because of its established branding and the price difference is not much. Sounds like i do need to cook and bake more often after we shift house. :)

Have been hearing fellow neighbors who have managed to barge into their apartment and we decided to try out on Sunday 6pm to see if its possible to get to our flat. The security on a Sunday is less strict as many of the Foreign workers are back to their dorm to rest for the day. To our surprise, we managed to sneak into our block and i told papaTan to climb up to our unit which is located at the #17 floor. (He thought i was joking when i told him to climb the stairs up)

To be honest, i did not really like my kitchen layout as the bomb shelter takes up space in my kitchen (near to the service yard) which means i am unable to create kitchen cabinet and worktop space on both sides. After much thoughts, we decided to hack away the wall and build an island. This is the only possibility that i could fully utilize the kitchen. If i knew of such constraints during the start of flat selection, i would have choose other units based on our awesome queue #80 but oh well, 4 years ago we are still quite noob in this area.

The next limitation we faced is that i am unable to build full length mirror in the toilet as there is only 1 ventilation point in the master bedroom toilet and its located right on-top of the toilet so we are only able to build a simple mirror with storage cabinet only.

Anyway, we are still discussing whether to remove the sink provided by HDB as i understand some of the basin's quality is inferior and not lasting. But there again, all these are actually paid for with our hard earned money. I guess we need some further discussion on this to finalize what to do with the bathroom. 

Hoping keys will come really soon!

We decided to head to Singapore Expo as there is Baby Fair. Needed to grab some stock for the Pureen Baby clothes detergent as it is much cheaper to buy in fair. After the trip to the baby fair, we decided to walk to the Big Furniture Fair 2016 to have a look around for the Sofa as well as bed.

We walked around and spotted the sofa company by the name of Cosimo Gallery. Was told that they are the manufacturer for many of the sofas retailers are selling. They are proud of their products and they only do full genuine leather sofa. As the price is kind of high (around 5k), we decided to sleep on it first despite the sofa being soooooo comfortable.

We continue to walk around and headed to Simmons to check out the bed promotion. Was recommended by Jane that the Simmons bed is good and it is value for money. We are lucky that they are running a promotion of 50% + additional 10% off which is pretty attractive pricing. We actually did the sleep test as we lie on several mattress to see which is our preferred ones. Ended up, we picked the most expensive one in the fair. Somehow, the rest of the models lose out to it though.

With the promotion, it sums up to $3850 include of bed frame for our queen size bed. Imagine before discount, it is almost $8k odd. Kinda crazy, ain't it?

Picked the frame that has lower base and pretty headrest. This means i can remove carpentry cost to build headrest on my platform. Reason we picked Queen size as the BTO room is really small, refuse to give up side cabinet space for a bigger bed as we need space to keep stuff in the room as well.

I hope with the new bed, it gives me better backcare support and i can drool in my lalaland daily ;) Excited for the arrival of the new house as well as sleeping on this luxurious bed. :p

With the news of receiving their HLE as well as keys from our neighbors, it makes us extremely excited about ours to come by. Slowly bit by bit we started researching on the home design that we preferred. Checking out fairs as well as deals to buy stuff for our future home-to-be. 

I am lucky to have awesome friends around me who share good deals. Just today where Eunice was sharing with me on the Mayer's sale and she found out that KitchenAid is going for at a Ridiculously good price!!!! To be honest, i longed for my own KitchenAid as i love to bake and cook. The KitchenAid seems to be like the Transformers. Able to make tons of things with just this kitchen appliances but the price is really SUCH A MAJOR TURN OFF! United States actually sells this at a much cheaper price but unfortunately the voltage usage is difficult thus it is not advisable to buy from there.

Live streaming from Eunice as i received the promotion price and she is so nice to even help me to purchase it and bring it home first while i am in office!  As she was there very early, we managed to grab "almost brand new" display pieces at the price of $499 only!!!! How awesome friend i have :)))

Product description for the KSM150 model. And YES! i got myself a RED kitchenAid :D
