Philips Carnival Sale

We finally got our vacuum cleaner as we popped by the Toa Payoh Philips Carnival Sale. As Hulk was redeeming our vouchers obtained from our DECT phone, she noted there was this sale coming up 23-24 Aug.

Not too bad! The vacuum cleaner we have been eyeing was ~$100 off the retail price for the newer model tool!

Hehe... Philips FC9160 for $228. I think vacuum cleaners are one of the better deals around (we still got our rice cooker cheaper from Best Denki's occasional offers $99 versus ~$120).

Counting Down - Remaining Tasks

House Warming - More Thanks!

Phew we're finally done with the different batches of house warming!

Thanks to all who took the time to come, thanks for all the well wishes, and thanks for all your gifts. Our apologies if we've not been good hosts or if you are a victim of food poisoning taking the food we've prepared because Ban has been sticking his marker pens in to add colouring to the food -- just kidding!

We'll probably play host again to some of you next time since we can do some gatherings for festivities etc now. Next target: NYE or X'mas eve? ;)

Waiting Finally Paid Off!

Getting to Compasspoint to run wedding/house errands and to take a late lunch, we dropped by Best Denki as usual (yeah we keep going to electrical and furniture stores to look at things we *are* going to buy to catch them at bargains..).

To our surprise the Philips rice cooker (HD4754) that we've been eyeing for a while, was on sale! Dropping from a price of $162 to $99, it's the biggest discount seen for this model (and strangely, doesn't seem to be advertised in the papers..).

So Barney carried back one rice cooker today. Next experiment - Cooking Rice!

Remaining item on the wishlist:
1) Philips handheld vacuum cleaner FC6093 - to be purchased at Philips showroom with $30 voucher obtained from DECT phone purchase
2) Philips vacuum cleaner FC9160 or FC9064 - waiting for the price to drop and to maximise vouchers
