Stirling HDB Terrace - #52 Tiles

IN SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT TILE


our contractor told us to come here to get tiles:
Sin Lek Building Materials Pte Ltd
29 New Industrial Rd
Singapore 536213
Contact : 62834453
Fax : 68467928


Saturday home-reno went something like this:
11am: Down at HDB flat to do some measurements

12nn: Hafary/Surface Tiles at Balestier. Made some choices, jot down the nos and hopefully get a quotation by following Monday. We waited really long like half an hour before someone attended to us. Guy called Travis was really patient with us, bringing quite a few tiles to match with the choice of our floor tile. Beginning he asked what kind of colour scheme we wanted. And he brought us some tiles to show us...so we told him that we didn't want those 'stripey' effect, not too much speckle like those egg-shell ones. Abit textured ...but not too bumpy! wahahhaa...typical singaporean rite!

And he did that for a good half an hour!Bringing us quite a few samples back and forth!!! Really good service. Plus there were loads of couples there too. So good business for them. Although i really didnt like the ladies there, as when we stepped in, they just stared at us and didn't want to serve us! WTF. (sorry i really couldn't stand their faces and they look so bitchy!!!!)MINUS points for the ladies there!

2pm: Lunch at Whampoa Food Market

3pm: Sin Lek. Service was very prompt!!! Didn't have to wait very long for someone to attend to us. WE chose our tiles quite fast i should say, within half an hour we were done. We were looking for marble looking tiles, and the salesgirl told us that it's so passe and quote: out-of-fashion. Told us that it was very 土。So i said cheerily, "it's ok! we are very old-fashioned people..."and then i think she giggled.

6pm: IMM, in search for a GAIN city to check out aircon unit prices. BUT in the end, we had FISH and CO for dinner, and only managed to check out the air-con prices at BEST DENKI. Best price was $3988 for a Mitsubishi system 4. And only 1 type of model.
