Citygas water heater and last decision of Furniture shopping

After our 1st appointment with HDB,we went to Citygas gallery at woodlands civic plaza.I ordered a water gas heater,after so much time comparing  using instant water heater,electric storage heater and water gas heater..My chosen one will be water gas heater from citygas.It's a Rinnai brand,price @ $128  plus $60 installation charge to your bills.Retail price at $298,since the promo ends on this 31/01..I took my chance to grab it.I asked the salesgirl whether it's ok to install rain shower and she told it would not be any problem and none of her customer had complaint.So I just took the chance.Will tell you more on the rainshower thingy on my next post..lol.We do look at the cooker hob and hood so we estimated what the price roughly,it will confirm be a black tempered glass top cooking hob and a chimney hood...lol..using a chimney hood do occupy your cabinet space but the suction power is stronger so less cooking smell in the kitchen :]


After placing order of water heater,we went to 5th floor of woodlands civic centre...'The Green Furnishing', told my mum..we will just be looking and do not place order first.So we take a look saw a few sofa but not to our liking,I told the salegirl is there any half leather sofa but then she told us they had a sofa on offer now.I always felt sofa on offer will not catch my eye.So she show us this black grey sofa,it's made of synthetic cloth which is kind of expensive fabric.Mum sits on it,and me too...gosh we feel comfortable with it and it suit our budget @ $1279 although we're aiming for the armadio sofa at courts.The normal price is $1899.So after deciding without the salegirl pushing us,btw her name is Hazel..she never push us to buy,very patient..so we agree to it.Then we look at the coffee table,we pick a black tempered glass top with white base.It's bigger in size around 43" and it's modern looking,we decide to grab it cos although we live 2 person,when there's guests we would not be panicking on where to put the drinks.Cos I do notice nowadays most of home owners choose smaller coffee table because most have a bar counter concept in their living.


So we joke around if we take a dining table,would she give us discount,so she reply she will try her best and show us this dining table..cost around $600 for a set of 4 chairs but I'm not comfortable caused the chair base feel flimsy.I prefer a solid chair,with a broader chair support cos we planning to put the dining set behind the sofa so that the guests can watch the TV comfortably without shifting to the sofa.So she show us the 2nd set,comes with a extend able black tempered glass top.She suggest since there's 2 of us we choose this table and when guests come we will extend the table so it will not take many space.Brilliant we like it.But for the chair that comes with it I'm not pretty comfortable so I look around for other chairs where I can match..saw this chair which caught my eyes.A black crocodile like texture chair with diamonds sticking on it.Hazel bring over the chair to the dining table that we want and guess what it match and she even says I got a good taste.lol sometimes this sale person knows how to please you.Yes indeed it matched and mum like it even though she's not comfortable with crocodile texture but the seat is comfortable.Price for one chair is $199 and we took 6 with the dining table cost us $1299 instead of $1899..haizz exceed our budget but then we're comfortable with the combination of the sofa,coffee table and dining set.Hazel give us a free clothes hanger to be place in  my mum's room.


After that we intend to go for lunch to take away and went to the bazzar at woodland MRT open space,skipped the causewaypoint cos I don't want to be hook on other things..lol.As we walk around there was this carpet store.Mum was looking at this carpet with materials sticking out some sort like shaggy carpet but finer.I was surprise she keen on this type of design, I saw the price tag stated normal price is $199 and now selling at $100.It's a small to medium size carpet but just nice for our coffee table and sofa and yesss we picked a grey color which match our sofa..We are happy with the picks and we can't wait to see how our new home look like.I can see mum is happy and I hope she will be happy like this all the time.Dad..PS: Although you have left us for almost a year but I will promise to take care of mum like you did.RIP dad..We love you...
