Fridge Talk

I never thought that buying a fridge can be so complicated and mentally + physically exhausting. After several rounds of browsing in the past couple of weeks (we have been eyeing some Fisher & Paykel ones), we ended up buying a pretty big but reasonably priced two-door LG stainless steel one tonight. We hung around the fridge display area for more than 2 hrs, making repeated rounds to compare the potential candidates, their number of NEA ticks (ie. annual energy consumption) and agonising over the amt of premium we were prepared to pay for chio-ness (For the F&P fridges, the chio-er stainless steel ones cost abt $400 more than their plainer sandstone/white counterparts...)

Our purchase was something we totally did not set out to buy; but LG apparently produces good, high-tech energy-saving fridges. Hopefully we made the right choice; even if we didn't, I can regret later cos I can minimally sleep well tonight knowing that my fridge is not gg to be camouflaged by my kitchen wall :)

[p/s: I think I actually mentioned this in an earlier post - In our pursuit for chio kitchen appliances, we had initially set out to buy a SMEG fridge. But the poor space efficiency and exorbitant price tag quickly led us to strike it off our shortlist :P]

Need to snap out of a very negative outlook/ attitude at work :( Somehow many things seem quite pointless and bureaucratic; and in turn motivation level has plunged significantly of late. I have also been less nice to boss lately; including giving slightly sian3 looks when informed of the need to present stuff at dept planning sessions etc. Bleah... On personal front, life is pretty hectic with renov and wedding stuff to think about every week. I think my tendency to want to be perfectionist about the slightest details also makes life more tiring for myself... Perhaps need to learn to let go and enjoy the moment more, at work and outside work!
