Finished one class before I headed down to meet Dear, but it was already raining cat and dogs at 10am! Nonetheless, it didn’t spoil our mood, went for a cup of tea, while waiting for the rain to subside.
Tada ~ Her minimalist theme.. cool yeah ^-^
In great details, she showed us around the lovely house, explaining to us the various highlights and answering to our never-ending queries. =) Spent about 3 hours exploring every single corner of her house like an excited child, exclaiming to the ‘secret hidden chambers’!
Around noon time, we bought some food over to Karen’s house and started our 2nd round of house visiting. Too bad she was not feeling well, otherwise we could have enjoyed a yummilicious home cooked meal! Nonetheless we still managed to enjoyed some mouth-watering apple crumble topped with ice-cream. Ummmm~
Hers house is more of the cozy type with a different colour for each room! So lively and interesting! =D
Soon, it was about 3 and time for us to go. We planned to go Expo for the Home Décor Fair to check out the ID firms. So Dear headed down to Simei for tuition while I went White Sands to do my marking while waiting for him. So sad right, but was quite an experience to mark outside. Other than the freezing air con, I was rather efficient!
Headed down to Expo around 7+pm and wanted to grab a quick bite before we start our hunt for ID, but the food junction was crowded and we only had about one hour left, so we gave up our dinner and went straight to Unimax. The manager came to serve us, but upon hearing that we wont be getting our keys so early, he suddenly turned from professional to nonchalant about our business deal and did not show any keenness any further. Super turned off by his attitude.
So off we went to another ID firm, Baroque. A middle aged lady came over and served us. She wasn’t very able to express her ideas very well and initially I was quite skeptical about her expertise and kept nudging bear. (Quite mean of me right, gulp.. but if I want to find a responsible ID to do a great job for our future house, he/she must be able to win my trust right.. at least the ability to communicate comfortably with.. period~) However, to our surprise, she started sketching 3D pictures for us to visualize her ideas and wow, I must say its real impressive. Coz our living room is VERY big, and all the IDs we went to only proposed the same concept which is to do a normal feature wall at the side but the rest of the living area will not be utilized. But she suggested extending the featured wall out into the main living area so that the furniture arrangement will not be cramped to the balcony area. She went on recommending about the size of the shoe rack which suits our preference for practicality. =D
However, at the end, we still did not sign with her immediately coz she was rather pushy and we do have a lot of time to shop around. But we were definitely thrilled with her idea of the extended featured wall and decided to request that to our upcoming IDs.
Imagine just visiting 2 IDs already took us one plus hour and we were both mentally drained and physically famished. So off we made our way home to a hearty dinner/supper at S11. Yes, exciting but tiring..
