  1. from a fs view, what are the ROLES of a dragon tortise ? What is the KPI for a dragon tortise if the ROLE did not help you as a owner ?
  2. any shapes does not matter as long as you are comfortable with it. remember you stay in the house yourself ...not your friends or guests - so ignore your friends / guests comments.
  3. never heard of babies born on the 10th month pregnancy stage ...
  4. Or did u hear wrongly ? babies born pre-maturely usually 2 months before the standard 9 months, ie 7 months come out - clever babies born 1 month before the standard 9 months - may die. babies born standard 9 months - normal
  5. What about combining a few properties loan ? is the bank receptive to this ? Or must be one loan one property ?
  6. hi folks In a previous thread, i bought sofaitalia brand of sofa from local retailer from a few years ago. since then, i am still using it without any issue - not even a single tear. So i kind of believe that it is a good full grain sofa set. Now in singapore, i try to get another one, but could not find it. Similarly the prices of good quality sofa in OTHER branded retailers are expensive. Recently i search in the internet and manage to contact www.sofaitalia.co.uk. I look at their photos plus configuration - which looks reliable to me. The email is what they reply to me below - fyi If i buy direct from them, and including logistics, how much do you think it would cost compare to buy direct from singapore retailers (other models). If you have experiences, please share. ======================================== Hello and thanks for contacting Sofaitalia.co.uk Unfortunately we do not have any retail outlets in Singapore but could potentially export your required sofas direct. If you could let us have thename and configuration of the sofas you require along with your deliverydetails we can supply a price for you. Kind Regards ========================================
  7. hi, do u mean sub-standard leather product cannot use water or leather oil to clean it - and it will cause it to peel ?
  8. After this, you can drop your current fsm.
  9. wow --first i didn't know that " ... parent company Furniture & Furnishings Pte Ltd, which owns Castilla Design Modern Premium, Castilla Studio, Natural Living, Novena, Furniture and Furnishings(at Suntec city" I previously bought a sofa from Castilla Design Modern Premium a few years ago and up till now, nothing happen to my sofa. Could it be a Furniture & Furnishings Pte Ltd bought over Castilla Design Modern Premium ? I think another forum member, Dave Yap knows which sofa i bought, i can't remember the thread ..maybe when he sees this topic, he can re-paste the thread of sofa that i bought. For the next sofa (if ever i need to buy) - probably go for branded ones, or best PM DaveYap - he can give excellent advice.
  10. Products that cause injury should be recalled from shelves. IKEA usually does that although their goods are inexpensive. I would say all these mindsets rely on company's management. Therefore IKEA is consider a better company than those who do not recall injuiry-prone products. Back to the topic ... a) how much is partial refund ? Leather cannot be peel off within 6 months. Maybe lemon law kicks in too late. b) I am no expert in leather, but looking at the picture, it does not look like leather to me. c) Germany pride itself in engineering (leather goods i am unsure) - can you provide the sofa company web site ? d) With the amount u paid, perhaps da vinci at bukit timah is better option ?
  11. Yes i will sent pic to your private email. Give me by end of this week. You just have to call David over cell phone and make appointment and drop by this place . It is ok if you are not buying anything. What I am afraid of is you fall in love with teak and then start ordering :-) Honestly when i first met him, I ask him how his wood compare to Scanteak ...hmmm i shall leave this question to you and ask. If you read his web site carefully, "reading between the lines", he does not want to compete on "every" teakwood you can find in the market. Maybe you can bring your dad along with you, and your dad experiences may give you some hints. The only thing about David's company is he lacks manpower for delivery (that was in 2010 then). Eg he may deliver for you, and don't expect him to help you to dump the older furniture, unless you tell him in advance and specified that in the invoice.
  12. Hi Dragonnite I managed to get my last invoice from barossa. Date : 24 Dec 2010 - where i agreed with him on the design of the TV console Dimension : 2m x 50cm x 45cm Total : $1900 (a mistake in typo above in previous post) Delivery : 2011 - March period (on average 3 months) How i select design : Go to other furniture shops, look at their designs, take pictures, then go to barossa shop and he will custom-made similar design David from Barossa is the boss. He is passionate in Teak Wood (live and breathe). When i step into his previous River Valley shops, he explain Teak wood to me and he even show me the Wood he used. He is not a "just to sell person". He knows his quality of teak wood. Honestly don't even think of bargaining. Anyway I can upload photos of the teak wood tv console i had. (but i don't know how to do it)..Maybe you email me and i sent you photos ? I kept all invoices from Day 1 I bought all kinds of furnitures. Honestly stick to Teak Wood, not compressed Wood. Sometimes adding a few hundreds dollars there, means quality can last. If my next compressed woods fails, I would go for David from Barossa. I trust his quality and workmanship.
  13. apple use china workforce samsung and apple buy parts from each other. what is wrong ?
  14. agreed with dragonnite. go to http://www.barossasingapore.com/ - custom made and teak wood from few hundred years. - i made a tv console previously, took 3-4 months, cost $1600 (if i remember clearly).
  15. agreed with your statement. No one has time to read every details
  16. Currently i have a DVD home theatre sound system ..previously it was free with samusung LCD. I want to change to BLUERAY ... question a) should i get a blue ray home theatre system ? If yes, what is the recommendation (i recently bought a LED 55" samsung tv) b) or should i get a stand alone blueray, then plug into a specialize sound system ? I am at a loss to what to choose ...and i also do not want to overspend
  17. As for lighting in master-bed room or any rooms, it is better to be hassle free. Eg if you can, go for LED lights. Or if not, everytime the bulbs don't work, you have to ladder up and change it. Sometimes the light box is at the center of the bed, and changing lights is a real hassle.

  19. hmm so opinions differ. Have you decide to buy ?
  20. wah ..new member starts to promote Master Jo Ching ? come on ...who are you to bluff ?
  21. Read an BBC knowledge article on PlaceBo effect - making patients think that there is a cure in the mind. Now is Fengshui similar to PlaceBo effect ? We think they are giving us a cure in life - when actually it may gives the wrong perception ?
