I have started my renovation shopping as early as 21.02.09.
1st stop: Singapore Expo - (21.02.09 - 08.03.09)
I saw a booth which showcased very nice custom made wardrobe system(http://www.closetrobe.com.sg/). So I decided to ask for more info. I eventually fallen in love with it and decided to do a 8.5ft walk-in wardrobe. The total cost is SGD 2,073.
2nd stop: Bright House lighting @ Tradehub21 (21.02.09)

Saw a cheap deal on the newspaper and decided to check it out! 8 sets of lights (w energy saving bulbs + installation) going for $388 (http://www.bh-lighting.com/). Price is quite reasonable to me. I do not want to spend too much on "necessary white light" as they are ugly anyway. I am saving up to spend on standing/table lambs with warm light. The total cost is SGD 415.
3rd stop: Home Concept @ Tradehub21 (22.02.09 - 08.03.09)
To look for a contractor that is highly recommanded by my best friend (http://www.homeconcepts21.com/), his name is Patrick. Although the sky is pouring that day, I still want to meet him and discussed my renovation needs. I can say, the quotation he gave is much higher than the market or after comparing with how much those big renovation firm charge. But on a safe side I decided to go with him as I have heard far too many bad experience from my friends and relatives who engaged contractor from HELL. The total cost is SGD 13,000.
4th stop: Sincere Furniture Centre @ Tradehub21 (22.02.09)

After the discussion with Patrick, the rain was even heavier. I felt uneasy to drive home. Hence, I took out my big umbrella and start walking down the row of shops to see see look look. I went into a furniture shop with BIG SALE posters on their glass window. This furniture shop does not have a website as they are the suppliers to many other furniture shop. I met the sale person and I started to ask for a "package". I like one of their sofa and the sale person was quick to suggest a package for me to pick a TV console and coffee table, all for $999. After scanning around, the coffee tables he offered was not up to my taste... either in black tempered glass or just too small. I am trying my best to avoid black furniture. Finally, I set my eyes on a clear glass coffee table but was told to top up $200 for it. The total cost is SGD 1,336.
