For $300 or less, you will have to look for another tenant to share the room with you.

Thinner will remove the coating of your table leh. I use Bleach.

Looks like Government is going all out to kill the demand for property.

Mothballs only work on cockroaches. Try not to put mothballs at home because they give out poisonous gas. I only realised how poisonous they were after googling online. There was a period of time (4 months) when I kept getting asthma attacks and medicine didn't seem to control my asthma. Root cause: 20 mothballs in my bedroom. My asthma attacks stopped after the mothballs were removed.

Creepy crawlers = bed bugs, dust mites

I think that the seller agent never do his due checks and he lacks knowledge about HDB regulations. All of my 10 divorcee friends had to wait for 5-years MOP to be met before they were allowed to sell their HDBs in the resale market. If they want to dispose HDBs in less than 5 years, they can only sell their HDBs back to HDB Board at a loss.

90% of BTO units are reserved for first-timers. Whether your parents sell or don't sell the flat, it will not increase their chance at the BTO ballotings because they are not first-timers. If your parents sell their current flat first, where will they be staying during the next 4 years when the BTO flat get built?

Ya lor, the interior areas of my shoe cabinet also kenna moulds. It's really disgusting! I almost also bought wardrobe from VHive last year, luckily I didn't. My other furniture in living room have no sight of moulds. Thus I'm pretty sure that Vhive doesn't treat their furniture wood properly, otherwise why their furniture kenna moulds but other furniture from other vendors don't?

The mould has grown back on my shoe cabinet I will proably discard the shoe cabinet and get new one.

No impact to the super rich lor.

My fridge door is tight tight. My tenants like to open the fridge often everyday. It has many chances to sneak in haha.

I have a lady friend in similar situation, younger than 35 and no kid from her divorce marriage. Her parents have their own HDB. In the end, HDB does not allow her to keep the HDB and she had to sell it off. Now she can only wait for a few years and buy HDB when she hits 35.

Therat has sharp eagle eyes. CEA should headhunt her lol~

Any clean water filter brand that you will recommend (maybe something that does not run on electricity lol)? I don't need the water to be ionized.

I put 2 tubs of charcoal tubs to absorb humid in my shoe cabinet but moulds still grow on it.

Thanks. I will spray white vinegar mixture this weekend to my shoe cabinet. I notice some moulds are growing back on it.

You need to provide at least bedframe, mattress and wardrobe for the room.

Cleong, Gimz, Mashmallow, My case is sama sama like you. My hubby and I started looking at Jurong area in late 2008, although the six units we viewed were far away from MRT and in very run-down condition, they still asked for 20-30K COV. Then we decided to rent a room and wait for the crisis to adjust the HDB price a bit. But HDB price didn't drop much, and started to increase since May 2009! Bobian, we looked at more ulu and cheaper Sembawang area, and OTP one unit in late 2009. I still think we are fortunate to own a nest. I have seen many couples staying with inlaws and renting room/unit.

Yes, you can. The application procedure and details are found at the HDB website: http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10326p.nsf/w/...rs?OpenDocument

My 8-month-old VHive shoe cabinet (bought at $220) became mouldy on the external and interior surfaces last month. I doubt it's due to the humidity in my living room because the other furniture pieces which are 9-years-old are fine and have no mould on them. I sprayed bleach on my Vhive shoe cabinet, left it for 30min and wiped it off with cloth. 1 month has passed and no mould has re-grown on it. *keep fingers crossed*

Even if inverter type doesn't save me much on electricity bill, I plan to get inverter one for my next house for the sake of quietness and more peaceful sleep. It seems that non-inverter compressor gets very noisy after a few years. Also, don't you all notice that SP Services loves increasing electricity tariff every quarter?

The new HDBs that govt are building recently, have the aircon ledges outside the service yard and toilet instead of outside the master bedroom. That's a better design, give everyone less noise issue and better sleep!

Then u drink water from tap directly?

Hehe I guess that 'someone' should be banker from the bank of his current home loan

I always thought all lizards are carnivores (eat only only mossies and smaller pests). So your house lizards are vegetarians LOL! It seems that vegetarian lizards are smarter leh. I hardly see lizards at home, maybe 1 lizard every 2 months. Last week, I discovered one lizard in my fridge! It was alive and moving a bit. I left the fridge door open for about 10min for it to get out of fridge leh but it didn't want to. In the end, my hubby just grabbed it with a plastic bag. So I guess my house lizards love 4 degree celsius environment instead of humid warm environment now?
