For the second section of our weekly meeting, Chiauw brought us to few shops along Balestier. Primarily, she wanted us to 'feel' what was available so that she could finalize our home concept.
Our first stop was to three tiles shops. Surprisingly, we liked nothing! Actually, Chiauw expected that. Next, she brought us to two bathroom shops to look into bathroom accessories.
Though it was tiring at the end of the trip, it was a good experience for both of us. At least, Chiauw understood our taste now and it would make it easier for her to move on to her second task - putting all the small details of ideas into a bigger picture.
There would be more field trips in future. We needed to see the 'wood' for the bedrooms, lightings, kitchen accessories .. and the list would go on.
When Chiauw was sending us home, which was about 9 pm, she voiced out the purpose of going to those three tiles shops. She wanted us to feel and see the 'low range' before introducing us a better ones next saturday. Ah, let's see.
