forest, i'm getting the cot frm Mr Ang, but hor now need to buy another mattress for the 2nd-hand cot which will b at my mum's plc and Mr Ang dun hv that size for my cot..

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Everafter,

Who did u check with? I know KP sells one at $185!! -_-""
</font>

 

[everafter]

Littlebluey, i check with www.babysafe.com.sg
But due to i need to custom-made the mattress smaller so need to pay another $30 alteration fee. So the mattress will cost $195! *faint*

 

[dimpletot]

everafter, I'm also getting the cot from Mr Ang. sent the cheque liao.

Think he'll deliver in Aug.

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Everafter,

[everafter]

dimpletot, Littlebluey, i also dont recall how does Mr Ang's cot look like leh! He's so busy with his shipments and dunno tomor got time to let me go down n view or not.

 

[everafter]

dimpletot, his cot is solid pine wood so it's dark brown color??

[tracee]

yest my boss hinted me..asking if i m able to fly? he wants mi to go BKK for the annual corporate meeting..but i told him..i dun wanan take the risk..

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Trace
Yup, it's better to let you boss know if you dont feel comfortable to fly at this moment. Think he/she should be able to understand.</font>

 

[forest]

everafter,
i see.. so additional costs for the customisation huh... really not cheap leh!!

regarding the cot, he distributed a pamphlet at the fair, but i misplaced it.. duno if other mummies will have it??

whitepaper,
shiok shiok!!

mousebb,
*muackz* many thanks hor!!

 

[forest]

everafter,
no.. the white one is not mr ang's. there's 2 other booths with white cot.. 1 is by farlin.. the other, i cant rem the name le...

 

[everafter]

mm...strangely i only see the white cot during the fair leh..dunno if i shld just buy w/o seeing the cot..cos Mr Ang says he might not hv time to assemble one unit for me to see leh

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Everafter,

Mr Ang's one only available in one colour rite? Hmm..in tht case, most prob my DH won't be keen le becos he wanted to get an oak colour one..diao diao..
</font>

 

[everafter]

Littlebluey, i'm not sure Mr Ang's cot izit one color only leh...those who bought frm Mr Ang can advise?

 

[fen]

Hi mummies,

i'm having my 2nd bb due in Oct 08 too...

Jus wanna share my lobang with u regarding the babysafe latex mattress, i got mine last yr at $150 for my ger. That shop is Aprisin Singapore Pte Ltd @ 50, Tagore Lane Unit #B1-02, Entrepreneur Centre. U may want to call to check on the price before making a trip down...in case the price had gone up this yr...their no. is 63368311

As for bb cot, i bought it at $269 at bb hyperstore. The lady gave me additional discount on top of the special price of $299. Mayb it's bcos i got both the cot n pram together, more items more discount. If u gals gg there, may want to look for Ms Grace, she can provide gd recommendation according to ur needs n she can mk the final call of price....

happy shopping!!

 

[whitepaper]

Mr Ang's cot is in one colour. He claims that this natural colour is the best - as no extra chemicals from paints, stains etc.

I think the colour is nice

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Forest
You are welcome!

</font>

 

[forest]

whitepaper,
yaya.. thats the same claim he said to my hub.. that there's no chemicals.. n will be better for baby..

Littlebluey,
we also wanted oak colour initially.. but we got sold on the chemical thingy.. hehe..

everafter,
maybe u can ask him if he can send u a copy of the pamphlet he gave during the fair? it has the pic of the cot.. if i rem correctly..

 

[whitepaper]

forest

He probably already rehearsed his script so he says the same things to all customers lor. kekeke

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Forest,

That's sales talk mah, of coz it makes some sense into the chemical thingy lar...hmm....

Alamak, buy one cot seems so diff like tht leh..*concuss*
</font>

[forest]

whitepaper, Littlebluey,
of cos of cos!! hahahaha..
but my hub knows abt furniture line.. n he agreed lor.. so i just go with it!! hahaha...

 

[everafter]

forest, whitepaper, the wheels can lock one right?

 

[whitepaper]

everafter

Yah can lock. Actually you can don't fix the wheels on if you don't need them.

 

[everafter]

whitepaper, izit!! i didnt knw the wheels can remove one!!

 

[whitepaper]

everafter

Dunno if can remove later on, but you can ask them to not install the wheels during set up

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Gals,

Am so tired and sleepy!! *alamak*

</font>

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

[everafter]
