With the house in mind, we started buying some key essentials for the house and woah, even though it was fruitful, I am starting to think that it will be madness trying to wait for furniture delivery from the different places…
What we have bought up to this point in time…
Nova Furnishing
- Memory foam mattress with free gift of 2 memory pillows (S$1,399)
- Shoe cabinet with stool (S$499)
The mattress is like such a bargain given the S$700 of its usual price due to the store’s grand opening offer. The shoe cabinet, it was love at first sight… considering that I didn’t have the same feeling with The Husband when I first met him.
The Furniture Warehouse
- Leather sofa bed that can double up as a huge bench (S$499)
- A pair of cute orange cushions (S$20)
Ngee Ann City Homeware Sale
- Zojirushi Rice Cooker (S$100)
- Zojirushi Handy Pot (S$20)
They are so cheap considering that they are from the Japanese ‘elephant’ brand which usually cost a bomb. The mini rice cooker is so cute… good for just 2-3 persons.
IKEA
- A pair of LACK bedside lamps (S$40)
Wondering what’s with the odd name but we have loved this design since we saw it a few months back but each was going for about S$50. Now that the green ones, and not sure why only the green ones are on offer, we took the opportunity to snatch a pair! I love green….
2009 IT Fair
- BenQ projector + free screen (S$568)
- Epson Stylus Printer (S$98)
My Husband is a himbo! He love it and put gains from his shares into this one. Well, at least we can have a home cinema. It will probably be good to watch HORROR movies with. Will get another TV later. The printer is a good buy and print great pictures too!
At the end of the day, when we look at the piling receipts, we want to shout in unison that GETTING MARRIED IS SO EXPENSIVE!
Lesson of the day:
Buying furniture = big hole in the pocket
Building a home = priceless
