-Living Art

-Wea Design
-Image (ah dee's fav word "I propose.. i propose
-Home Interior
-Vegas (Vomit blood.. CMI)
-Art Trend (MIA)
-Orange Cube (Everything also cannot)

Hmm.. a brief encounter with each ID:
- Amac Design
Er.. cos fren fren cannot comment much. :x
ID was easy going and gave us no pressure. His pricing wise was so-so only despite intro by fren.
- City Design
ID is friendly initially but was too engross in his own design than the listen to our needs. He was pretty hardworking and showed us a few 3D drawing. Unfortunately, he expect us to sign a contract worth more than 25K without even giving us time to think over it. We find it rather ridiculous and lagi worse when his face turn black when we told him we really need time to think thru.

- Image
ID is a young and cute ah dee.. he is full of creativity and very open to ideas. He is really helpful and nice but his quotation is rather high. For those who dun hav a tight budget, can consider ah dee.

- Home Interior
ID nice and easy going guy. Sincere and hardworking... very experience in the trade and even brought me to one of the "renovation in progress" flat. He tkes extra care in the quality of workmanship. However, quotation is abit high

- Vegas
#&&$&$&#$&**U&^(&*) .. no comment. So sway we met him.

- Art Trend
Er.. MIA, totally no news after the first meeting. no follow up, which means not interested in our biz.. so forget it lohr.

- Orange cube
ID seems proud.. stubborn.. all our suggestions seems like a waste of money to him. If we want so simple, might as well dont renovate lo. Anyway, no follow up.

With the above considerations and quotations comparison.. we have finally narrow down to .....

...***DRUMROooooLL***...

TADA!!! (In no order of merit)
-Crescendo Design
-Living Art
-Wea Design

Crescendo Design
Melissa and David were very kind and patient with us.
They were open to our ideas and gave us good designs and advice.
After a few meetings, we were begining to build a frenship.
Their quotes were somewhat reasonable if your are looking for a pure ID.

Living Art
CK.. he was a humble and patient ID. He gave us rather good ideas and tips.
Can tell he is an experience guy and believes in good quality. His efficency and confidence win us over. CK drew us 3 perspective drawing to show us even on the first visit only. He allow us to place a refundable $300 cash deposit. However, his price is also alittle high but then..we do understand "一分钱，一分货" lahr..

Wea Design
Jef first visit was serve by XXXX, very bad impression. @%^*$*&*#W ..kaoz! very inexperience but give good discount -but duno zhun or not. haizyo...
We were about to drop him when Elson and Rachel intro their ID from Wea to us.
ID, Dennis is a funny guy. Honest, sincere and hardworking.
He is open to our ideas and gave us no pressure. We are very comfortable when we interact with him, and he seems happy doing our designs. His fav line : "很美的!"
His quotes are reasonable too.

So.. finally...

**DRUmROOOOOooollll***
**DRUmROOOOOooollll***
**DRUmROOOOOooollll***
**DRUmROOOOOooollll***
**DRUmROOOOOooollll***
**DRUmROOOOOooollll***

We have decided on TAaAAaaaDaaaaa ....
WEA DESIGN, Dennis!!!
Clap clap clap* Whistle*

Sadly, one of the best have to emerge and the rest need to drop. We really do appreciate them and all their efforts -esp to Melissa and David, and CK.

In conclusion...
The main important factors that will affect a person in chosing an ID is probably..
1. Sincerity
2. Whether we can click well with the ID (comfort level)
3. Experience and knowledge
4. Price within a budget
5. Good followup

Sometimes, paying for a reputable ID might not necessarily be safe or reliable.
It still depends highly on the ID who serve you despite the company. Is he responsible? Does he mark up alot and give u lots of freebies/discounts? Any hidden costs? Does he listen? Is he honest? Do U trust him? This is what we have learnt so far.

We hope that we have made the right choice and of course.. more updates to come soooon.. :)

PS: All the above are subjected to individual ids that we encounter and nothing against the companies.
