Morning meet up Kai Soon Aircorn sales guy at our unit to get them quote and understand our requirement. We intend to get Mistubishi Inverter System 4 for our house - 1 living hall + 3 bedrooms. Hubby give in, agreed to get me System 4 instead of System 3! Thank you hubby~ Due to we will might have bulk purchase (together with hubby's colleague), we will try to get better offer from Kai Soon! Waiting for the update...

Then, we head down to Hoe Kee at Genting Road to order the kitchen sink. We had survey since few months back and has confirmed the model & color we wanted - Blanco Silgranit Kitchen Sink. We choose greystone color that ideally match with our kitchen.

Blanco is the name of a brand, and only Hoe Kee carry it. You can see different brands in the market for Silgranit Sink. Depends on individual preferences. Read more from our Product link for Silgranit Sink.
Walk around Hoe Kee but couldn't find any nice basin yet :-( semi recess basin really very limited style! Top basin design is available almost everywhere, so if you intend to get mount in/semi recess basin please do your homework as early as you can.

We continue our basin hunting at Balestier Road - Lookz Showroom. Spot this place from Julian Interior Design website. The place was really inconvenient! Not much luck at Lookz Showroom though. The brand carry by them quite standard like Jalan Besar - Pozzi, Arino, Damixa or their 'house' brand. If you are looking for unique basin design like oval shape, you can find it here. There have lots of rain shower set available here as well.
Our last stop is Hansgrohe Showroom. Going to confirm our order shower set, basin mixer, bath mixer AND the kitchen mixer! So happy that hubby agreed to buy it! ^_^

Honestly, we felt the owner take care the house very well. Though the house look disorder, but at least it's clean, can tell the owner pay attention on hygiene - especially judge by the toilet condition.
The house have too much stuffs causing the 'mess' and feel so congested, overall we satisfied with the condition & layout of the house :) We will transform the house to be our dream house!
Hooray! Today is the day~ HDB completion date - collecting our house key! So happy! Finally... after waiting for more than 4 months since September 2009, finally we gotten our house! Thanks God lead us to this house :) * our queue no and officer room number 226
Settle our utility application and fire insurance at HDB Hub. We are going to apply for POSB Everyday card so that we could pay our utility bill by using POSB Everyday Card, which entitle for 1% rebate for whatever we spend. And it's useful when you do grocery shopping at Carrefour too! 1% rebate sound like too little? It will accumulate more when you spend and pay often... why waste it, might as well make use of the 1% rebate!
After settle the property tax (cost us $154.63 per year), finally we got our key from the owner! Let's proceed to our 'official house' now!
