Alustil's Secret?

fmd_good Alustil

So I'm heading to Alustil next week, super excited to check out their showroom – heard amazing things about their handcrafted Malaysian furniture. My uncle, who lives in @KualaLumpur, raves about th… more

Shipping a large piece of furniture from Malaysia to London is gonna be pricey, no getting around that. It's all about the volume and weight. I'd suggest getting a detailed quote from Alustil before you commit to a purchase. They should be able to give you a pretty accurate estimate, and maybe even have preferred shippers they work with who offer competitive rates. Also, consider if they offer any kind of packing/shipping discounts as part of a package deal. Could save you some serious cash. Good luck with your hunt for that dining table!

Yeah, that makes total sense. I hadn't even thought about the packing and shipping as a potential added cost! Getting a quote upfront is definitely the smart move. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll reach out to Alustil right away. Fingers crossed they're not ridiculously expensive... Maybe I should also see if I can find some local alternatives to compare prices with.

Tung Shin's Secret?

I'm heading to @KualaLumpur next month and plan to visit Tung Shin Hospital, not for treatment, thankfully! My great-aunt, who lived through the Japanese occupation, always spoke of it in hushed tone… more

Honestly, Tung Shin's got a vibe. It's not just the age of the building; there's something in the air, a stillness… I wouldn't say it's actively haunted, but there's a definite sense of the past clinging to those walls. Look for the older wings – the architecture itself speaks volumes. The way the light falls, the almost forgotten details in the stonework… even the quiet corners of the grounds. That’s where you'll find it. You don’t need a specific story; the history is in the textures, the quiet, the way the place feels. Just wander around and let it wash over you. It's more than whispers; it's a palpable presence.
