& Any other bits about you (:
This morning, I met my father at the market. He was looking at some kettles at a shop. I suggested that he bought an electric kettle. He came back to my house to look at ours ('Philips'). We moved one plastic box from my place to his. Next, we brought the mattress protector, pillow protector and 2 soap dishes to his new place.
This is punctuated by a neighbour coming to our place to visit and vice versa. He will be staying at Level 22. Currently, his flat is into the first week of renovations. The flooring for the living room is done. The kitchen tiles are being topped with another layer of bigger, smoother tiles! What wastage!
Then we went to Courts and another shop at Toa Payoh Central. Finally, he bought a 1-litre 'Philips' electric kettle at the latter shop for $47. We saved about $3. That is the satisfaction we get from shopping around and negotiating. Ha ha!
On the way, we also bought 3 floor mats for a total of $10. I was surprised that my father settled for the brighter colours. For myself, I would have chosen the one-colour pieces. Anyway, it is his house - so he has his say.
Then, we brought the kettle and mats to the new house. I put in the 2 soap dishes and we set up the shoe rack together.
Later, at about 3pm, the serviceman came to fix the gas supply. He was pretty quick about it and finished in about 15 minutes time! We were all very pleased that we could go home earlier.
