GSS Loots - Sony KDL40EX520

We were looking for something that would allow me to watch my online dramas via the larger TV screen and in a more comfortable setting, ie: lazing against the sofa.

As a result, our TV budget has been yoyo-ing from $1.3k (Sony 32" EX720) to $2.2k (Sony 40" NX710) to $3k+ (Samsung LED Series 7000 46" Smart TV which the salesperson assured us has full internet browser capability, meaning I can surf & watch my online dramas with minimum hussle).

After careful consideration, we decided to KIV 1st and not make any hasty decisions.

The Samsung LED Series 7000 was really slim and chio...

Can already imagine it hanging on the wall with the slim wall mount provided although it was really kind of big for our tiny living room.

The freebies were also quite tempting.

In any case, we were doing quite well (not making any hasty or impulsive decisions) until we happened to walk into Best Denki @ Clementi Mall and saw this Sony 40" TV.

Although I was expecting to get the TV sooner or later but didn't expect it to be this soon.

Kept confirming with him if this was really the ONE as our TV budget has been revised drastically in the recent months as we try and source for what we really want.

I was really amazed that he say YES.

Furthermore he got this glint in his eyes.

U know like those look gals get when we see something  which we really like and it so happens to be on sales.

He assured me that he has been doing secret research on all these TV prices in the past few months and this was really quite a good deal with the freebies (3 years warranty, wireless toggle and wall mount) thrown in.

Scheduled delivery to be in 1 month's time which was like the best they could provide.

* Praying hard the keys comes soon. Heard that the fencing are already down! *

Total damage: $1300

Scanteak Loots!

Spied upon a Scanteak outlet along Balestier Road one Sat evening after porridge buffet at Quality Hotel.

It was love at first sight for him when he saw this ladder like bookshelf.

Ladder Book Shelf
                         
Spend $399 to reserve the item and would be collecting it in Sept.

We also saw several items which we like, for instance: dining set and coffee table.

We love the warm golden brown tones and the homey feel that it projects.

Ended up, we also added the following items to our loots.


Athos 120 cm TV Bench

Lois Dining Set
Total damage: $2500

TOP date to AMK Park Central

Wondering when will we ever get the keys?


Expected TOP is supposed to be Dec 2011.


Based on normal HDB standards, owners usually get the keys 1 year ahead of TOP date but this is not the case for us!


Expected an earlier completion date of around June this year but seems like it is just wishful thinking.


There are news from the developer that our block can get only the keys in Aug.


Faintz.


I just want to get the keys/floorplan asap so that I can know whether can I get a king-sized bed anot.


This is like the most important item on my To-Get List.


I want to buy my bedsheets etc lo.


Wish us luck!
