Much has happened over the past few days.

I saw an advertisement in the newspaper advertising a Korean brand side by side fridge for $599. I was very tempted as it is very cheap. The cheapest side by side fridge I have seen is about $899. As I had already bought the LG GR419 fridge from Courts two weeks ago, I decided to go and ask whether they can match the price and change to this model for me. I showed the salesperson the advertisement and he found it hard to believe. He called the retailer (Au**o H**se)to confirm the price. Au**o H**se replied that that price was for a display set and only 1 unit. I find this to be very unethical. Customers see the ad and believe that that is the price, rush down there and most probably will be told that it is sold and we have another model that is just as good for double the price. Anyway, I did not go there in vain. The salesperson told me about one of the LG side by side fridge (GR-B207WLQ) that is on sale for $988. Somemore, it comes with a $200 NTUC voucher. So, I have only to add $100 more if I subtract the voucher. I decided to go for it. This is one big fridge, 537 litres nett.

We have decided to commence renovation on the 2 Feb 2009. This is supposedly a very auspicious date based on the 8 characters of both of us. I told the ID and he told me he will go there, get a hammer to knock knock to signify the start of renovation.

Today, the ID told me that the HDB renovation permit has been approved. Now, the last thing is to get the keys back.
