So close I can almost touch it...

Yay-yay. Finally received a letter from YTL saying that I will probably get my SOHO unit by the end of May. Drove over the weekend to have a look and must say that it all looks quite good. Counting the days!

To Buy or Not to Buy?

This is definitely a case of an itch that I shouldn't have scratched. Spied these ceramic stolls at Ombak over the weekend and thought they were way out of my budget. But made a random call today to the store and found out that they have been discounted further. Conflicted now. Pretty collectables or useless junk?

The End of Ombak

After a good run, one of my favourite soft furnishing stores, Ombak in KLCC, is calling it a day. Popped in today to check out the closing down sale.

There were a number of table lamps but the ones that I liked were already sold. A nice pair of ceramic chinese stools but the discount was only 20%. Some interesting prints but I haven't decided if they are right for my future place. Some colourful cotton pieces from Barbara Samsoni's Barefoot collection but I decided that I already have too many bedspreads.

In the end, I picked up a Barefoot dodo for my friend's toddler. Still time to go back if I change my mind on the other items.

Sale continues till April 25.

Water, Water, Not a Drop

Bad news this week. The handover date of my anticipated Centrio apartment has been delayed until July 2010. The YTL manager-in-charge informed me without apology that the expected delivery date 'by Q12010' has been pushed because the development is not ready and neither are the letters to inform homebuyers that they have to wait an additional four months. Hello professionalism?? Homebuyers really need more protection.

While still in my state of ignorance, I headed to the Gudang sale and bought their fab Belut rack. Thankfully, they are quite accommodating when it comes to storage.
