Was on leave today, went shopping for sanitary ware & wallpapers with HK.. boy, turned out to be quite a challenge.
Sanitary ware
First, we went to Jalan Besar where there are quite a few shops selling sanitary ware.. but hmm, realised there were too many shops & too many different designs to choose from. Gave up. Decided to head to Sim Siang Choon instead, where at least the many different designs were confined to just one shop.
Still had a bit of a problem initially.. there were just too many designs. After walking round the shop a few times, everything seemed to be "okay" and "possible" designs to choose from. Still, after a couple of phone calls home to check for dimensions, we managed to shortlist all the items we needed:
1) Toilet bowl
2) Basin
3) Basin mixer
4) Shower mixer
Yippee! Settled!
Thats HK making the many phone calls home to make sure the items we shortlisted could fit..
Wallpapers
Next stop: Goodrich --> to select wallpapers for our bedroom
This turned out to be a greater challenge as compared to buying sanitary ware.
There were tons of albums with various wallpapers on various shelves. Almost like a library.
We spent an hour there, flipping albums, feeling lost, confused and tired. There were the dramatic ones, plain ones.. cheap ones, expensive ones.. modern ones, "Adam Family" ones.. All kinds. In the end, we went home without having any idea on what we wanted at all.
Think we should start looking at more design magazines.
