Salam
Kitchen Cabinet hunting
starts on Sunday. Sebab Saturday we just lazed around at home, spending quality
time with family plus doing some house chores…hihi. Ye la, 2 weeks
in a row Azman and Aisyah tak sihat, really cannot do anything lah…haiyoh…on
Saturday tu dah buat 3D hand drawing and dah amek ape-ape ukuran yang
patut.
Beginilah rupa hasil kerja tangan Azman
The next day, which is Sunday, pagi2 dah keluar, first destination
of course la pi breakie dulu…hihi…having heavy breakfast since kitaorg expecting to have late lunch or most probably kene skip lunch. We don’t have
much time.
Weekend is the only time yang we can go out hunting for the home
deco stuff. Usually I and Azman won’t opt to go out on weekdays. Lepas tuuuu.......out of the blue Azman said, let’s go to IKEA
first. So, after breakfast, instead of heading off to KC store, we went to
IKEA!!!! YAY!!
Guess what? We spent 2 hours surveying around the IKEA…so sekarang we have a clear picture of the KC design. Inside the KC tu, nak letak shelf semua ke, nak ade pull out drawer ke, wire drawer ke...macam-macam la info yang dapat when pegi IKEA. We didn’t buy anything pon kat IKEA. Jalan-jalan. tengok-tengok, planning-planning and go off.
IKEA here and there
Cantik tak Mellby Armchair ni?
Next stop is Chai Aluminum Builder (CAB).
We brought our so-called layout
KC plan to CAB, and sampai2 jek, terus discuss pasal kitchen measurement and KC
design. Eceh..tanya
2 soalan pon macam expert jek. Mentang
2 la
baru pergi IKEA kan..bhahahaha.
Discuss punye discuss, keluarla satu price from
CAB. Mak aiiiii makcik oiii…memang definitely out of our budget la. Wuwuwu…so
devastated la you…I was taken aback with the cost actually, but I tgk muka
Azman rilex jek. Okke then.
The sales girl said she quoted us based on the
promotion price, normal price would be double the price. Whoaaahh….the KC
really cost us a fortune laaaa. I’m afraid that we might have to postpone. There you
go. No Consensus been made. The End. Balik.

In the car
Aisyah pon dah tak larat nak jalan...tido jek la ecah ye....
Me: B, y u doesn’t look
surprised with the price yg CAB tu quote(RM18K)?
Azman : I tau je yang memang
KC is around that price.
Me: Oooww…meaning u know
that we will be out of our budget ker?
Azman: We won’t. Trust
me.
Me: (Dumbfounded) are we
going to cut down allocations for others (autogate, flooring, plaster ceiling)?
Azman: We work it out
okke.
Me: (Tak menjawab
soalan)
We were home by 430pm.
After Maghrib Azman
start working on the KC again. Aisyah went to bed dy. Relatively keadaan agak tenang
untuk berfikir. After cracking our head, we come
to a decision to go for IKEA KC.
We'd downloaded IKEA KITCHEN PLANNER to design
the KC. Tapi using this gizmo is quite troublesome jugak la. (
TIPS: Do register yourselves first before
start using the planner). Bukan quite troublesome, memang SANGAT
mendokusai (menyusahkan). But you have
to be patience la and u’ll be amazed and contented with the aftermath. We took almost 5hours to completely patching up the cabinets.
Azman said nak buat guna autocad kat ofis je on Monday tapi dah tak sabar sangat nak tgk the outcome, gigih jugak guna planner IKEA ni.
Lepas tu kami buat kira
2,
and you know what, the cost is much much much cheaper than CAB. Cost of CAB KC is RM18K, while IKEA (based on what we've choose) is RM 9090.Can you see the difference.
IKEA's KC can be mahal and can be murah depends on your design and preference sebab IKEA offers a wide range of harga based on your budget and your kebesaran dapur.
Costing:
Left hand side: CAB,
Right hand side: IKEA (Yang we do on our own)
Indeed because
of the material la, CAB guna aluminum with granite table top while IKEA, we
choose particleboard, fiberboard and segala board bagai (most likely to get
termite infestation). Takpe, panggil orang pest control buat service before
install the KC ye (sedapkan hati).
Bye bye Mellby.....
