it's the 2nd day of carpentry works. took 1/2 day leave today as the guy fm Hitachi Credit is coming to inspect our nest. hubby was on leave too as he had to go n pray to his grandma (it's the 3rd 7th day). was surprised to see my MIL n BIL there also. hmm, seeing her confirm means she'll have comments later. sure enough, she had something to say lor.. asked me to go to the common toilet with her, pointed out dat my UFO tap is nt practical coz sometimes people might not turn it off properly. again, she said i wasted $$ to change the sanitary ware. how many times she muz say tis huh, tink next time whenever she visit us, sure will bring it up again one lor. tink i will print a note "Pls remember to turn off the tap", laminate n paste near the tap. liddat can???

my MBR wardrobe is up liao, but hor tis means my MBR also getting smaller. looking at the remaining space, i tink after we put the queen size bed, oni ample walking space will be left. btw, our solid veneer door is here!! but i almost got a shock when i saw the colour, tot ID ordered wrong colour. later i found out dat the door has yet to be varnished. *phew* i'm too kan cheong liao HHS feature wall also up liao, but still in the raw state.

left my nest around 2.45pm and parted ways with my MIL and hubby as i wanted to visit Halifax Hardware to get the soft-close system for my kitchen drawers. took the LRT to Sengkang, den find a way there to AMK Ind Park 2. who koes hubby called n told mi he have asked MIL to go Halifax Hardware with me to help bargain to lower price. they took a cab n picked mi up at compasspoint taxi stand. sian lor, y muz ask MIL come along??? we reached Halifax abt 20mins later, saw the soft-close system which cost $35. MIL said it's expensive and dat it's not necessary. it's so much cheaper than Blum lor, still wan to complain expensive. called ID and asked his opinion, he said he already installed heavy duty hinges, so might not need the soft-close system. so end up i nv buy anything.

i've made up mind to tell my hubby not to ask my MIL along for anymore of our shopping trip. everything she also said expensive, how to buy things liddat???

reached home around 4pm. nua for an hour plus, den brought my mum n nephew to Ikea Tampines with mi. tis time with the intention of buying the extending drawers for my tall cabinet. checked with their SA who asked if my tall cabinet has been built. told her all done, juz waiting for the drawers oni. she said i should have bought the drawers first before the carpenter built the cabinet, else confirm wun fit. how i koe. called my ID and his carpenter, ding dong ding dong for awhile den decided not to get the Ikea extending drawers liao. the Ikea extending drawers cost abt $100 with the Blum system, the SA told mi they got Blum to do a cheaper version dat can hold up to 15-25kg. she opened up the thing n indeed the word Blum is printed on the back. getting 5 drawers mean paying abt $500 leh. the oni thing i got from Ikea was a rack to be installed in the cabinet, it's for puting detergents.

asked ID to get his carpenter to custom-made 5 pull-out drawers for my tall cabinet instead and muz give mi discount coz my budget was less than $500. ID asked mi my budget and i said no more than $500. he said the pull-drawers will definately be less than $400, then quoted mi $350 with Blum system for the tall cabinet door. i was happy with the price and told ID to proceed with the pull-out drawers.

Thanks Henry!!
