congrats, got pics to show since house nice nice after reno. whereabout is your EM so I can update in my signature.

yup, spare the rod spoilt the child. Me and hubby believed in the rod

hmmm....what's the purpose for keeping a pail full of water in the toilet? Necessary only for those who have dark toilets? the bathrooms look nice but maintenance wld be a headache

initially when we decided to sign the otp for this EM...we were also worried abt the staircase and planned to seal up the opening at the staircase landing whereby one oversees the living room but eventually opted out. So far, the boys are Ok but still like to climb the tiny space near the staircase railings just for the fun of it and mummy n papa wld be screaming after them. sigh, I'll have to get the staircase gates few months later when my girl starts learning to walk

oops sori....always thought u in Yishun

take when u free la or during eat snake time .

show the after reno pic leh

your balcony ar?

aiya, my place also very messy most of the times and dunno y ppl's house can be so neat. I'll be motivated to clean up once I cant tahan the mess. Got plenty of toys everywhere most of the times and always gotta 'order' my boys to keep their toys. as for reno, not necessary to do all at once la cos need $ leh. Do the needful then next time got money then do lor. Who knows, maybe years down the line and u decided to move to private property liao.

dun say till like that la. Maybe they got a reason y they do up the grilles to ceiling. U must like your place then u'll be happy when at home.

its my old Canon powershot A400 camera, baru 3.2 megapixel. U took too many chicken feet till hands shakey ar ?

testing testing using photobucket here's the clearer picture taken from my balcony got these dogs since pa tor time and dunno what to do with them now. Cant bear to give away see u're the expert la. Teach me so many things liao. Xie Xie ni

or try using http://www.imageshack.us/ if really still having difficulies then can try to email the pics to MaCe and get him to post . He's the expert in IT ...heehee....his posted pics in another thread very sui sui

ya lah, do chemcial wash then see how. Sometimes close one eye or both eyes can la. In fact, white grouting easily become black and I've given up on that especially when u got kids at home. Initially my kids also kept rabbit then a small parrot we rescued from void deck then terrapins, etc. All of these pets given up liao. Now only got fish tank with some red parrot fishes and my lor han. for safety, please install grilles.

so naughty

nvm la....just think that u've saving $$ for reno. U moved in then discuss and see what are those necessary reno. btw, how old are your kids?

congrats.....so which bank did u go to for your housing loan? Glad your agent is helpful cos we need to pay them 1% for buying and not forgetting the inevitable 7% GST. wow, resale market really picking up hor. Here's my reply to your queries: 1. 1st appt as in how long the session or waiting time for your 1st appt? Anyway, I've provided 2 replies. Some of the HDB officers are very experienced so they compete the 1st appt session very fast. As for your 1st appt date, u'll know it once agent submit resale application to HDB. 2. When can your seller move out? Some seller do hand over the keys to u during 1st appt and if u plan to carry out reno thereafter (i.e after 1st appt) then seller must be willing to sign a indemnity form. Many buyers do it, especially when they wanna start reno before the hungry ghost festival. Just make sure everything is clear especially for the in-principle approval of the resale after the 1st appt as I've know of a case whereby buyers almost completed reno then the whole resale was thrown outdue to some issues from sellers' side. In the end, buyer folk out nearly 40k of reno for nothing....seller got to enjoy a newly renovated house. btw, u can ask for early 2nd appt during the 1st appt provided both seller n buyer agreed to it. For some cases, agent drafted a letter to HDB officer after seller n buyer settled on a particular date for 2nd appt. 3. better to apply reno permit first as some neighbours very petty and wld complain to HDB if they cant tahan the hacking then u as owner wld be in trouble if there's no reno permit. 4. Cant advise u on this as I hacked everything in my EM. U can check with Homeowner on the overlaying as she overlaid her toilet floor tiles. so what's yr total sqm & rectangle balcony right? U need to do minor or major reno? Should be able to enjoy Xmas songs in your lovely EM. Good luck!

my grilles are those pot-belly wrought iron but not all the way to ceiling. Urs done by previous owner?

good hor. Lor 4 Blk 124 got nice Ang Ku Kuehs. Hey, doing some updates so what's your total sqm and yours is rectangle or squarish balcony?

so quiet...where's everybody? here's the view from my balcony.

TPY? near to Lor 8?

wow, Bishan EM all nearly half a million. how much did both of u (angielim & tinkle) paid abv valuation? High floor?

wow, very cheap leh

but not auto type right so owner still gotta physically wake up to chase the birds away hor. The best way is to poison the birds but that's too cruel liao.

electronic devices? Got any pic to show?
