My weekend

It had been about 2 weeks plus since I last updated my blog. I had been very very busy for the past few weeks. I had been very very tired for the last 2 weeks... What am I busy with? Im not sure too. I nearly forgotten I had not updated my blog for 2 weeks.

16 June 07 - Saturday
I went to ICA to apply Casey's PR. We reached ICA building at around 745hrs. I was shocked how long the queue was. I couldnt believe that so many people are going to ICA to apply for something .. We manage to get into the building at around 0805hrs. We got our queue number at 0821hrs & the last queue no given was at 0829hrs. Total no of queue given were 120 on saturday. Our queue number was 115. I really couldn't believe that SO MANY PEOPLE WERE APPLYING for PR. Most of the people applying were either from China & India. I hope Casey can get his PR during his 1st try cause I don't like to appeal & wait again. The long waiting time will make myself very nervous.

I went to my cousin's house thereafter to look at his new renovated house. To my disappointment, the renovation wasn't that impressive. I was the one who introduced that company to him. I don't how come the workman ship is so different from the other house that I had visited previously. It now makes me think twice whether should I appoint that contractor to renovate my future house?

In the evening, we went Harvey Norman to look at TV. I saw a 32 inch LG TV. It cost S$1,999 before discount. It is the latest model by LG. Hehehe ... so I consulted my brother. He is very nice .. He say it will be my wedding present. When I am getting married, Im not sure too? But dun care la .. Since he want to give me as a gift, I better not reject him. We didnt buy immediately, we decide to consider about it.

17 June 07 (Sunday)
My brother, mother, Casey & I decided to go to Courts at Tampines whereby there should be more choices for TV, Fridge, Washing Machine & Cooker Hood. We headed down all the way from Yishun to Tampines. I thought a big company should have very good service. I am all wrong. The staff at courts seems like they are reluctant to do business. I think their salary don't go by commission instead they just collect fixed salary. Why do I say so .. This is because they are not keen/eager to do business. Let me explain why :

Experience when looking at fridge :
- I saw a latest model by Panasonic which cost S$999. I wanted to save money so I was deciding whether to get a model by LG instead which cost only $599. I decide to approach one of the sales staff. Guess what the man said : "U want go fridge ah, then you should get the ones which cost S$4000+++" All this panasonic or LG isnt very good. Even though Panansonic has the energy saving mode but it isnt true since i wasnt proven by NEA" .. When he said that, he was very arrogant. I think he looked down on people who can only afford to buy fridge which cost less than $1000.

Experience when looking at Cooker Hood :
- My mum was teaching me which kind of the cooker hood is better. I saw an aunty sales staff standing there looking very free so I decided to approach her. May I know which cooker hood is recommendable? Her reply was "I don't le. Since you guys already have so much comment about the cooker hood, why dun you just look around yourself?" I was shocked with her answer ..

Experience when looking at washing machine :
- May I know whether is LG or Samsung better? Another salesman replied me : "AMERICAN BRAND is the best" Korean brand are all no good? No good? My house is using SAMSUNG & it is still functioning well & Good ...

Seriously, my first reaction for the above 3 was ##@@!!!!@###### .... I was thinking whether do they only serve rich people or they do not have sales quota? I was a very serious buyer but since they give this type of service, it is okie for me to go to other shops. They are many big players in the market. Harvey Norman, Best Denki, Gain City Etc.. Since they are not interested to do business, I think it is perfectly all right. I really have very bad experience with Courts & I think I wont go to their shop anymore. I will also not recommend other people to go to their shop.

In the end, I got my TV from harvey Norman.

From Mon to Wed last week, I was on course. Thur & Friday was 2 relaxing days at work coz boss was not around... Next week, I better buck up ..

Yesterday, I went to meet the ID. Her service was quite good. Most likely, I will appoint her company to do the minor renovation of my house. I keep my finger crossed & hope the workmanship is good. In the late afternoon, I met up with Weiyan to make her spectacle. We had dinner at one of the Jap-Korean restaurant at Millemmium walk. If you don't like to dine at crowded place on a weekend, I suggest you guys to go there.

Today .. I did nothing practically. Just laze around the whole day. Don't feel like thinking too much .. hahah ..
