I know user fftw commented citygas water heater is ok. What probs do u encounter?

The working time for Master Hui is like someone who is having a full-time job and doing FS for part-time. Not thinking to offend anyone but that's what I think.

It would chip because of the material being used. In simple (might not be accurate), a stainless steel blade is not very hard (measured by rockwell scale). Hence, the usage would slowly make it dull. While ceramic knife is so hard the usage wouldn't make it "dull" but at the end, the "body" of the knife couldn't handle the usage and would chip. Initially, I bought on this "balance" thing from Henckel salesman (in OG and Tangs). But as the case of many other things, balance is just one point of it. There are hardness of the blade, sharpness, and sharpness retention. For me, as long as I'm comfortable to hold it, it would be good enough Everyone have their own preferences about knife set. Just remember that a knife set have different kinds of knives. They are supposed to do different job. For example, deboning knife, bread knife, cheese knife, slicing knife (for sushi kind), etc. Remember, knives are just the tools that cut, and the good knives make cutting easier for longer time and that's all.

If it's well-balanced, you won't feel tired in holding the knife and it makes it easier to do the cutting.

Nope. However, it's only for resale flat and there are several eligibility conditions. http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10321p.nsf/w/...ly?OpenDocument

True ... I'm going there this week to get some chopping board Most probably, I would also get a jap knife from them or order online.

scanpan at least have ceramic and stainless steel ones. Don't judge just by the price, you need to try to hold the knife and see whether it's well-balanced or not. Don't choose a knife because it's "heavy". A good knife is a sharp knife, not a heavy knife. I don't go for a set because I am the minimalist type and just use what I need. I would go for high-end chef's knife and paring knife and maybe a chopper. Those are what I need. The rests are superfluous. I mean, how often do you need a bread knife? A chef's knife and a paring knife would cover almost 90% of the kitchen duties. I don't have a rack yet. Still looking for in-drawer knife. Something like knife rack The wood should not rot due to moisture in the knife. Because, part of knife maintenance is: 1. Immediately wash after finish using it. Do not soak it under the pot. It's a hazard and can even rust stainless steel knife. 2. Immediately dry it with clean cloth. Please fold the cloth several times, you don't want any accident while wiping it clean. 3. Storing it. If you see japanese chefs (in movie or restaurant) on how they maintain their knife, you will know what i mean Ceramic knife is "stronger" than stainless steel/carbon steel knife. It has longer retention for its sharpness. BUT, you can't sharpen yourself, you need to bring to manufacturere (extra cost). And, it prones to chipping when it falls.

In this way, i would not eligible for the HDB grant and would "lose" 30k.

If you like to display your knife rack, please go for a set. Otherwise, just get the individual set would just be fine (and save the money). Anyway, which series are you looking for? Though in general, scanpan knife is quite good.

Take the easy way out. Don't bother with "small" things, just charge "flat" rate. Otherwise, you also want to charge them water usage, maintenance usage, furniture rental, internet, etc. Never ends.

My guess is from the day of your 2nd appointment (the final signing of hdb document). 1. Keys collection could always be earlier or later 2. Why would HDB care when you move in?

Seems interesting http://www.vornado.com/Default.aspx?ISC_Pa...;ISC_Left=false Don't know whether it's just marketing or really that effective

Seems this jinyu is a good buy ... in your picture, is only have the 4 levels one right? Do you have the picture of 5 levels rack?

Hi Jaskel, I don't like my current metal gate + door. It's too dark for my taste. So thinking to DIY and change the color. Do I need to use particular spray paint for metal gate? Would the surface finishing still be good?

Ah, the point 3 is the cause of confusion. So, if I have a pte and buy HDB resale, no matter what, I have MOP of 3 or 5 years. But that is MOP, that doesn't mean I have to stay in the hdb, I can still stay in the pte and leave the hdb vacant. Correct?

Next TV upgrade, I would assume 3-4 years down the road. Wait until they come out with super-full-hd with 3d (w/o using glasses ) Haven't sourced for HTS yet, not urgent though I don't mind getting some good deals. Are you upgrading now?

Judging from http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10323p.nsf/w/...at?OpenDocument It will not matter whether I have private property in SG or overseas. As long as I satisfy the MOP, I can rent otu the flat. Correct?

Is it a new ruling, or all along always have?

Was in discussion with my fren yesterday. He mentioned, that if you have HDB and Private property, you can not stay in the private. You have to stay in HDB. Reason being: - HDB is to stay, but not for speculation. And this is not about MOP. However, I never remember there is such a rule. Anyone can help to enlighten this? any link about it?

On the same vein, isn't it possible that it's over priced now? The price is 10 yrs down the road from now?

Reading this make me regret that I bought LCD Wife doesn't agree to buy plasma due to wrong reasons. Though, when I bought my Samsung 40", an equivalent Plasma TV full-hd cost more?

From http://www.asiaone.com/Business/My%2BMoney...713-226809.html Property agents told Shin Min Daily for about 20 per cent of the houses that were built in that period, the resale price is still lower than what the owners paid in 1996/7 - even for those near MRT stations and good schools.

How are things? everything finish already?

If the price is always up and the "new low" is higher than "old high", why got many people only "break even" when they sell the house recently? I met 1 owner who was break even when she sold her place at potong pasir. I also viewed 1 house in Clementi before where the selling price is the SAME as the price they bought ard '96- '98 (the peak period). In overall, price would increase, but there would be a limit of it. For now, the price is definitely too high.

Slowly ... don't rush it. Make sure you inspect every single little things
