Grohe Grohtherm 1000?

my apt will have 2 bathrooms so i am buying everything for both bathrooms. everything will be in pairs. first the shower mixer. i wanted a thermostate controlled shower mixer. the intelligent type... this shower mixer can be set to mix the cold and hot water to you desired temperature in Celcius and it will automatic cut off all water if the water temp exceed 38C or the cold water supply suddenly stops.

the temp adjustments is done on the right handle (the red button will override the max 38C if you want it scorching hot!)
the left handle is use to set the water flow rate
if you press the button on the right handle it will automatically turn down the flow rate to 50% of you current rate. they call this the eco-button.

i have called up Grohe's main distributor for Malaysia. They told me the RRP of this unit is more than rm2000 per piece and their best price is rm1400 (after 30% off). i thought this is way too expensive so i went online and found out its much much cheaper in Germany. So i manage to bought 2 pieces from Ebay in Germany and paid via Paypal so my purchase is insured. i paid rm1000 for both! which is actually rm500 a piece! hehehe.... i am very very happy....

Bathroom extravaganza?

Why do I start in the bathroom? Because i feel most people tend to overlook the bathroom. They bought lavish furnitures for living/dining area but leave the bathroom as it is. Me not gonna do that. :-)

My aunt had her huge KL bunglow gutted and redesign inside out. So in order to get the best of things she went for a shopping spree, all overseas trips. hehehe... first stop she bought tonnes of Grohe bathroom and kitchen fixtures in Germany. Then she went to poland to buy those huge chandeliers there.... oh have i mentioned that she is a millionare? yeah she apparently is swimming in money.

Even my super rich aunt bought the Grohe stuffs in Germany. I know now its all for a good reason. It is very expensive here! I'll tell of the price difference later.

I have a few friends in London, and Paris. Both are willing to recieve and bring back the items for me. I went to ebay to shop, at first ebay UK. not too many models available, then i went to ebay germany. Wow.... they have everything at super duper dirt cheap prices!!!

I registered myself with paypal, and off for the shopping spree in ebay! hehehehe....
next will tell you what i've bought and where!
