Went IT show today and bought a Phillips Full HD-LCD 42" at 999 during Audio House Hourly Special (Model . 42PFL5609/98) . Original Price was 1999 At first we were thinking Toshiba 42" 699 which is also quiet a good bargain but Phillips model is better-looking. First buy for our new home =)

I had also received a quote today and am curious on whether is it as good as it was promise by the company. would appreciate some comments. TIA =)

I dun want to be paying above $2k for hacking if its juz labour hours involvement .. any license hacking service provider to suggest? =D

was looking for wood laminate and got caught in a sales talk on Excel laminate The tiles were basically from Thailand with mats from Germany. and the uncle strongly suggest we get the waterproof laminate (total protection against water and pest) claim that it is also a lot better from rest of the brands like Robina. . Excel Waterproof Charring Environmental Floor with Soundproof System * High-tech Waterproof Floor Substrate Materials Patent. Patent No.: o ZL-2005 1 0036405.1 o ZL-2009 1 003707.3 * The First one adopt diamond & Platinum Crystal abrasion proof face processed by o Macro-computer veins set-off technology in Globe o Anti-scuffing and super adhesion technology price is est to be above $8 psf with installation. Personally feel that it is way - too expensive but wonder whether any one got any review on this brand?

hi thanks for the advices =) decided not to go for the new offer cause quiet scared of any implication. Especially with the new hdb rule of min 3 year occupation. . got to give priority to the process of buying a new house.

welcome and congratz ! we had 2 ceiling fan in our LR too , really not bad!

Hi do anyone happen to be able advise me on this. I got an offer from another company and is considering abt a job switch. (but to stay in the same company for at least an year is one of the requirement for hdb loan) And also my husband-to-be had also change to a new company in Dec and we are grateful that HDB let us through when we appeal aft they rejected our application. Now that we have not effect 2nd appointment and get the house key. Will there be any problem if I resign? I am worried that when the payment start to process, the loan department will do a profile search and found out that I actually quit. Then they start to give us problems. = /

saw this feature shoe rack on the tv.. feel that it is very unique and also uncommon. wonder whether carpenters are able to customize this? should be quiet costly

Ossify quick eye ar ! yes cause we had the impression that reno-contractors dun install windows =p , which is why we separate it from the renovation quote. Selection between bestview or normal depends on budget. I had review the quote again and update as I also realized that jobs on wall tiles for kitchen and the bathroom were not listed. Garion! thanks a lot for your blessing. = ] we hope all will go well, if not .. then it is the rocks and pebbles the path of life. Quiet exciting still ~ Today had completed uploading all resource for renovation into i-touch. and it goes nicely into the pocket

Like to ask regarding to digital locks. Since the size is bigger than normal, does it crash in with the metal gate? I think I am so excited with a digital lock that I forgot abt my metal gate hee =P guess still need to carry a key for the metal gate's lock

yup ! thanks a lot for both advises sugardaddy and ngunadi! We will properly look into this in March and check with the seller.

view for around 1 month, we lock on a unit at our 3rd day of flat viewing.. took me a while to agree to pay COV of 35k ( around 2 days ) But ownder withdraw sale...... after that we spot the same unit advertise under a diff address. this time round owner settle at cov of 40k .....expensive..... in the first place we wanted to look around slowly.. but thats my side only.. my bf and parents are very certain on wat they want when they see it.

Hello Hello We are also curious about this , our first appointment juz announce today to be on 30th March. Can we bring earlier our 2nd appointment when we went down on the 30th Mar? As the flat is vacant already, we feel that the sellers should have no problem to do so as well. =)!
