I will say best solution is skimcoat if you really want a smooth wall.

anyone has done skim coat before so that I roughly know the price...

SKimcoat not very very expansive. Don't worry. Project price can be as low as RM3.00 per m2

Mine is 2.4k for a double story. Include the laundry area too.

Including soffit of slab (ceiling)?

What do you mean by soffit? the skim coat is only on interior vertical "wall", and pillar.

Ceiling is all plaster ceiling.

I see. Some people who don't have plaster ceiling will skim coat the soffit of slab.
Soffit of slab = the concrete above your plaster ceiling.

Ceiling skim coat will be expensive. Is really pain in the Azz, i saw my contractor plaster the ceiling, 2 days for one open area. Usually 1 day they can complete 2x the area on wall.

Skimcoat to ceiling is cheaper if compare to plaster ceiling.

You have to add other additional cost like concealing new wires into the slab, hacking. That may end up more if rewiring are involved.

Yup, it could cost more if you need massive concealing new wires in the slab. Or else cover the wire with expose casing.
