My current Turbo Oven had been giving me signal that it’s prepared to “RETIRE” by "short circuit" the whole house each time I turned it on... : P
I told Adrian about the oven and he said it’s about time to give it a rest and replaced a new one. Yes, the oven had served us well for almost 10 years and we should change it.
Based on my previous experienced on changing my Turbo Hob, I contacted Happiness and asked the agent for assistance. She arranged for a technician to come to the house to access the oven. He brought with him a catalogue too. After accessing the situation, he advised me to change a new one too and he mentioned the few suitable replacement models.
The day after the technician came, the agent – Miss Kee called me and advised me on the price of the few models. Finally I shortlisted – TFP1603CXT the model that met my budget and my needs…haha. Immediately she placed my order and arranged for the delivery and installation on Tuesday, 17 February.
The delivery and installation took only about ½ hour and now my new oven is ready to serve me. And together with the instruction manual, there is a recipe book….not bad. I can use some good baking idea.
On Saturday morning, my farewell gift arrived via local delivery by Takashimaya. It was a 7 pieces WMF cookware. This is the 1st time I own such a branded cookware set...hee : P
2 weeks ago, my colleague who was coordinating the gift told me about the Taka Sale and the WMF cookware was on very special promotion. She asked me if I like to have it as my farewell gift. I thought it was quite a good idea since I am going to be a part time home maker, I will cook more often. Also my current cookwares are quite old, so it was a good chance to change them.
So I went to the sale and checked out the WMF pots and pans. As Adrian also needed something for his induction cooker, so the sauce pan came in handy for him and it's now serving him dutifully.
This is the weekend for our Fairmont Hotel Stay. Thanks to my MIL, we managed to book the room at a very special rate of $140++ and we got complimentary upgraded due to her vouchers.
As this is the Deepavali weekends, we decided to check in on Saturday for the 1 night stay.
After settling my cookware, we left for the MRT to meet my MIL. We were able to check in around 1pm. Our room number was 1728. Both Anthea and Anders was very fascinated with the room and kept playing with the remote control for the windscreen, lights, aircon and the Bose sound system.
Then we proceeded to the Food Court for lunch but to our surprised, the food court was closed for renovation and will open in December 2008. In the end, we had lunch at Sushi Tei.
The children had their afternoon nap after a good lunch. They woke up around 4 pm; my 2nd brother in law's family came by and had their swim by the pool. Anthea and Anders also had a good time by the poolside. The weather was great and we were thankful for the sun as it had been raining since daddy departed for his work trip.
Dinner was at Asia Grand Restaurant at Odeon Towers. It was a very good dinner and we had the house special – Peking duck.
We rested around 10 pm after the families went home. As the children were still quite excited about the stay, we watched Discovery Channel and had a good time. Finally, we slept around 11pm.
This morning, we woke up around 8am and had our breakfast at Toast Box. After resting, we went for a morning swim as requested by both Anthea and Anders.
We checked out around 1pm after lunch at Marina Square food court. My BIL and his wife came by the hotel to fetch us home.
Anthea had requested to settle dinner at home because TV5 is showing High School Musical 2. She does not seem to be tired of watching HSM 1 or 2. She is asking me to bring her to the cinema to watch the movie – High School Musical 3.
It had been nice and relaxing weekends for us and this hotel stay also act as a warm-up packing exercise for me. I will need to pack again this week for our Club Med Bintan trip next Sunday.
My current built in hob is Turbo T3309 and it had served me very well throughout its 9 years in the home.
Recently one of the burners decided to go on HOME leave for good and I am left with 2 burners. I managed to survive with the 2 burners while Adrian was away.
So while he is back in SG for the 2 weeks holiday break, we decided to change it.
I had been shopping around for the hob and the sales person had tried to promote me with another brand but somehow, my heart told me to buy Turbo.
Turbo sole agent – Happiness PTE Ltd are having some promotion on Turbo HOBS.
Price of new hob is $428.00 and Trade in value is $360.00 it's a really good deal for a hob.
Their customer service was very good with my queries. I did not need to even go to their showroom to do my purchase. I just placed my order via the phone.
Yesterday, my new Turbo T6309 arrived and is now sitting nice and fittingly on the hob area.
I am very happy that I am now back to operational ready for my new venture to becoming a PTSAHM and try making lunch boxes recipes for Anthea when she starts Primary 1 in 2 months time.
I am waiting patiently for my next arrival of new kitchenware...akan dating...: )
