hi redbottle, jus curious, do u rem what's that 2 dots on the wall? is tat some kind of weird "design" by HDB (color-blind-cum-design-blind again)?

mm.. 最重要的是, 不要为了一时之气, 要好好商量, 也许他也是为了你们的将来打算, may not really that he choose money over u.. yet.. i still disagree tat 5yrs later sure 100% earn loh.. there r jus too many other factors on the property markets liao..

i may skip the exhibitions for now le.. been to quite a number of shows in the 1st half of 2007.. n agree with linggie.. many hardsellers.. n some of them will show u a black face once u look uninterested in their tings.. not many service-oriented there.. but for those just started looking ard for reno stuffs.. is gd to visit these exhibitions for a few more times.. keep talking to them.. n ignore their attitudes.. for me.. i'll see how in the yr end.. looking forward to any yr-end sales or christmas sales.. etc..

hee... yes.. been here since 1992.. .. usually no 1 can tell i'm frm HK cos i speak like local already.. hahaha.. my hse cooking not really local HK taste as well.. we cook our own way rather.. aka anyhow cook.. hahahahaa... for soup.. yes! we like to drink as most HK families.. last time when i was young my granny cook different soup everyday.. so every meal we hv nice soup to go with our dishes.. n most of the soup we drink are those seldom cook or seen here in sg.. not even any foodcourts or tzi cha.. like 南北杏瘦肉菜乾汤, 腐竹汤, but now she's not here anymore n all of us working.. can only boil the soup on weekends.. my mom will sometimes boil the 黑豆生鱼骨汤.. yum yum.. but difficult n tedious.. i hvn't master the art of boiling soup yet.. hahahahaa.. i can only anyhow cook some simple dishes.. am waiting for my new kitchen to be up.. hahahaa.. n me too can't travel.. can't spend unnecessarily.. cos of the new house.. 我一年多没回老家了

yes, i agree with rommie & nemofc.. esp when u 2 already come to the stage of marriage.. there's nothing u 2 cannot discuss liao.. even small small diny matters or no matter how sensitive the issues are.. esp both side's family issues.. everything.. must talk n discuss loh.. i can't comment much thou.. my personal stuffs r too messy to give good comments.. but really hope u n ur bf can come to compromise n HDB is kind enough to help u through.. i feel is really heartpain to let go both $ n location.. jj2, haahaa.. my cooking not fantastic leh.. no good cook.. sometimes frens commented that i cook a lil too salty for singaporean's taste.. hahaa.. but bf said ok.. cos both of us 重口味啦.. hee

the last time we saw the palladine at carefour.. not really satisfactory.. but the Chimei looks much more satisfactory.. my taiwan fren told me that Chimei is good.. actually i dun quite understand wat he meant la.. but something like it is the OEM for quite a number of well known brands.. how true.. but the price really good budget for us.. we're tinking of getting it if neither samsung or sharp no offer/promo.. ideally of cos love the samsung looks loh.. but .. Chimei still better choice for us.. hahaa..

wow.. thank u for the info.. v interesting!

yup.. sure exhibitions help u browse thru various IDs n get clearer pics of wat u want.. n how much is the "market rate"... etc.. but frm wat i noticed.. usually the more reputated IDs dun participate in these exhibitions.. n dunno y for those tat participated.. usually are those same few ones.. always kana bad mouthed in threads from diff forums.. some ppl said cos they grab too much deals (more than they can handle) that usually they dun deliver good works or cork up ur renov progress.. i ... may b jus competitors bad mouthing each other also possible.. for myself.. i did went ard sit in almost all exhibitors to get quotations.. usually spent the whole day there.. but nvr commit anything to anyone.. but they r sure aggressive enuff in their followup.. keep calling or sms me.. so hv to prepare urself mentally.. happy shopping!
