hmm think tv can really wait bah you have not even gotten an ID yet, so by the time you need your tv should be at least three months down the road liao there's an IT show in Mar so prices should be quite competitive also, newer models will just keep popping out so better to buy only when your place is almost ready liao !!

yes yes totally agree with skywolf in fact, if you are not a heavy cook, can consider having a half wall for the kitchen and turn the dining table into some sort of counter top !!

look nia loh, notice the last pix got one purple retro-looking object on the upper left? that's the lift and all the flights we've got to lug our luggage up and down btw how's your wife's eyes? nothing serious i hope anyway more pix of my trip went to chinatown on sunday morning and saw a procession going on think it's one of those temples' celebration lunch at nam sing, fried veg and crab vermicelli one whole suckling pig, and duck tongue in the background dinner at sirocco, didn't take any pix of the place coz it looks EXACTLY like the pix you'll get on the net the view is fantastic and really worth paying a visit to the bread basket, forgot to on the flash we were greedy so ordered three starters clockwise from the left - truffle consomme, garden salad and lobster bisque in between the starters and the main course, they served passionfruit sorbet FOC my main course - grilled lemon french chicken my bf ordered the lamb shank view from the skybar, the coloured circular thing you see in the pix view of the dome from the skybar the jazz band stand next to the dome i'd say the singer's voice is rather weak, not as good as i hoped she'll be

yes for hdb transactions there are stamp duties and legal fees as well however, legal fees are low compared to private property and stamp fees are the same for all properties. however, the withdrawal limit usually hits during the last few years of the home loan as it's at 120% of the valuation price / purchase price (whichever is lower) but factoring in all the interest paid, the amt the buyer usually pay should be around 150% to 180% of the purchase price when the 120% limit is hit, buyer have to fork out cash to pay the installments !!

LCD or Plasma TV
applefreak replied to sakae sushi's topic in Sound and Vision -Home Theatre Systems & Audiophiles
basically, go and look at the various displayed sets of the various brands first check out the difference between plasma and lcd on your eyes once you've decided on the type, check out the difference between the various brands please please please don't focus on the specs coz most prob your eyes can't tell anyway !! -
:P me still haven't buy leh, how how how???
-
hmm tweetie76, it's not healthy for you to feel this way in the long run, it'll cause a rife between you and your hubby coz you'd feel that you've got to bear with this kind of thing for his sake maybe you need to talk to his parents about how you feel better for all to have a common understanding so that everyone can get along and they'd have to know that you feel very stressed everytime they talk about not having a house
-
hi kingzkong, can ask how much is the wardrobe in your bedroom? looks very nice, and there's a similar niche in my parents room after seeing your wardrobe, very tempted to get something like yours for them
-
wow that's almost three more weeks to go you can start counting down liao
-
as i don't know your PIL personally, i can't guarantee it'll definitely work but find that most elderly tend to feel very insecure, esp if they had pinned their hope on their sons to take care of them guess you'll have to try to take one step at a time next time when they say something like that, tell them this is their HOME and it's where they belong (sounds cliche but it works) we like a bit OT liao right? will kenna ban or not
-
ya if all singaporeans planned their own future instead of relying on the government for hand outs, then yes the onus is on the individual but look around us, how many really planned for retirement? and how many expect the government to help? look at the young couple in the article, NO planning whatsoever then expect the government to change the rules just for their own purpose... looking around at the welfare states, people who are working pay lots of taxes to support those who didn't plan is that fair?

where is that? me still haven't buy bak kwa yet leh think this weekend must go grab liao a video we took of the river taxi ride, enjoy
-
hmm so far have not let curry sit in the sink for long unless you are referring to pouring curry into the sink and wash, that no problem maybe if you pour curry and leave it for a week then

-
oh dear, hopefully it's nothing serious does she wear contact lenses? it could be the cause
-
maybe they wanted to hear assurances from you that you won't behave like your SIL sometimes elderly folks will beat around the bush without saying what they want they tend to feel very insecure esp if their son had rejected them coz of 'another woman' ask your hubby to sit down with them one day and explain the situation to them they may not understand that your MIL need to withdraw her name from grandma's flat to get a place if they know that you've made an effort to elp them, they'll feel better about the situation hopefully
-
okay no problem, let me know when you know the details no hurry coz most prob getting it after CNY better go sleep now, later will be a long tiring day
-
