New Addition to My House

My last post mentioned that I've a new addition in my house and I kinda spent a bit for it. In addition, I've promised that I'll give someone a pair of tickets to watch Up if he can guess what I bought correctly.

Well, one person got it right, but he didn't guessed it. He asked from Zach so that means I can't give you the tickets. Lol.

I got myself a King size bed!!

Reason?

I've been sleeping on cheap lousy foam mattress laid on the floor for 3 years now and I'm kinda sick of it. Why?

• It's hot despite it's laid on the floor
• It's not springy, not bouncy, less fun for night activities.
• It's not impressive to show anyone my bed in case I have guests over at my place
  

Thus I thought it's time for me to get a better bed. After all, a good night sleep is very important for everyone. It took awhile though for me to walk through the many furniture shops near Jalan Genting Klang to find the right bed at the right price.


Of course, I camwhored in some of the shops like the photo above. :P

A few lessons I learned from shopping for furniture;

• The bigger shops are usually selling furniture for a higher price even for the same item. This is due to the fact that the sales guy wants to take in a higher commission. Small shops are operated by the owner themselves, and the prices for the same item are surprisingly much cheaper if you're a customer.
• Always ask for discount and bargain more. Free pillows, mattress protector and anything that you can ask for. Don't be shy!
  

Well, most furniture shops offer promotional price for Queen Size bed but not King size. It seems that most people purchase Queen size beds (hotels and even couples). Most likely due to constrain of space of the room, but space on bed is equally important for sleep in my opinion. Thus, when I was shopping for my King size bed, there weren't much promotion that I could take advantage of.

After hearing ridiculous prices from bigger furniture shops I managed to find a much better option when I went to a corner shop lot that sells furniture a few stone throw from Courts Mammoth Jalan Genting Klang. It was a humble shop selling quite similar items as the bigger furniture shop, but guess what? I managed to save few hundred bucks buying the same freaking item from this shop.

Thank God I walked around to get the right prices. Else wise, I'd have been paying extra for nothing. Phew.

1 week from that, the furniture shop sent over the bed. The place where I stay has very small lift and I had no idea how they brought the bed up as I was back in Ipoh at that time. Zach supervised the people bringing in the bed. The end result was impressive.


As you can see, Zuzu immediately grew fond of the new bed and learned how to jump onto it in mere minutes after the bed was set up.


I'm happy with my new addition to the household. I hope it's worth the money I spent.

;)
