Oops, did not see any reply so was not at home. Did u come up to our place? Btw, moved in already?

Wow, so much involved just to get a home phone number. We decided we do not need a phone line at home (at the moment) cos most of the time not at home, hp would suffice.

Tks. The TV is actually LCD, not plasma.

I got my marble dining table from AIR and was advised by them no need to use detergent or washing liquid to clean the table, just water will do.

Yup, and he also gave us a discount. Or mayb you can speak to the other guy, the one with the "Bob Marley" hairdo.

Not really stuck up if you chat with them. Got our study table and chair from them.

Just back from a few days of R&R in Bangkok and seen my name being volunteered here liao. Will register for the volunteer thingy and see what is the reply like for the briefing dates. Our forum political meh? Dun think so leh. Anyway, soccer meet-up anyone this sat , Arsenal vs Liverpool, 8.45pm i think.

Raining, nice weather to sleep tonight.

Somebody is asking abt ang pow box and there is a genuine reply from fellow forumner. Yet there are people who have nothing to contribute but just like to make fun of others, sigh...

Tue, Feb 12, 2008 The Straits Times A RESIDENT of a five-room HDB flat pays $73.50 a month in service & conservancy charges and another $90 in parking charge. A resident of a similar-size flat in a typical condominium pays about $200 per month. But that includes water, electricity, maintenance, mandatory lift check, cleaning service every day, clean lift, pest control, pleasant landscape, security, security cameras, covered parking lot, swimming pool, tennis court, function room, barbecue pit, recreation events, managing agent fee, some surplus for sinking fund at year-end and so on. The HDB resident gets a parking lot and a not exactly clean environment. Is the HDB overcharging residents or is it not doing enough to get value for residents? My friend lives in a condo, pays $200 a month and get all the things I mentioned, while I pay $163.50 in service & conservancy charges and for a parking lot. I get a dirty lift and floors. Furthermore, the HDB collects parking fines and hourly parking charges and keeps them. As a big buyer, the HDB certainly has better bargaining power than the condo. The $163.50 paid to the HDB is excessive. The HDB must explain how it spends the money it collects. Richard Lim Poh Chuan +++++++++++++++++ During lunch with my colleagues the other day, he was questioning why is HDB collecting S&C charges based on size of flats. His argument is that S&C charges collected by the Town Council monthly are for the maintenance and enhancement of the common areas e.g. cleaning of common corridors, so this amt should be the same regardless of the size of the flats.

Cannot make it on 16 April evening, will there be other dates for briefing?

You already bought it, just carry on with the reno and enjoy the process.

Nice house, nice view.

Don't sign up with any ID/Contractor that ask you to pay a deposit for perspective drawings, and promised that you can buy something from them with the deposit should you decide not to engage their services later.

This is where we hide our mess.

We came back abt 9pm but did not notice anything. Really a sad thing to happen.

The perils of spending "future money". But unemployed woman spending $7k on on HT system, what was she thinking? Cost of living is definitely rising, should not use this article as an excuse.

Seems like this is a long weekend and most people are out. Anyway, i will still be watching at home, do drop by if anyone is around. My unit is on the #25, door will be open/ajar.

Was at IFC yesterday. Brought my mum there to look for bed and she like this set from Country Style Furnishing. There is a matching wardrobe also. http://www.ifcsingapore.com/tenants/country.htm

No, they are not custom made, we don't like to custom make too many furnitures. Bed is from Plank and side tables are from Ikea, I think is the Apelund series. Another pic of the bed.

I think was $1.1k.
