yah... those leaflets are really irritating. i closed the front flaps on my letterbox so that they have no way to put these leaflets into my letterbox. but ****... the stuff it at my door! so every night i get home, i see at least 2 such leaflets, printed, handwritten whatever trapped at my door. still thinking of a way to overcome this. even considered hanging a note on my door to ask these people to get lost. haha...

i use an electrolux (6.5kg) with stacking kit above my washer too. cost ard $600 from harvey norman. like applefreak, i also dump almost everything into the dryer after washing. see my mood on that day. so far, all my clothes are ok too. i stay on a very low floor, seldom at home, no one at home, but i like the sun-dry smell so i chose the dryer. i definitely do not need to have my washed clothes out in the rain when i am at work, or some inconsiderate people who don't spin dry their clothes and water dripping onto mine, or some even more deadly things landing on my clean clothes.

haha... i saw this pc of paper stuck at the lift lobby, apparently the houses in this area can sell for above $400K! oooo... anyway... the new Sembawang Shopping Centre... is gonna have a DAISO! yippppeeeeee... i love the $2 things that they sell... hahaha...

haha... so it's you. i was thinking who was spongebobmama and knows me. hehe... me wasn't in singapore on the 4th oct so didn't go. so far all the events that the RC or whoever organises falls on dates when i am out of town. anyone has any idea what will be put in place of the NTUC homemart that was at the MRT station? Are they going to build many small shops like what they do @ the other MRT stations?

colonial house? where? at the admiralty hills? huh? they have chalets up there also leh. now open for membership application. don't talk about public pool in sembawang lar. i thought supposed to have some stadium near the CC. but until now i only see green green green green grass. anyone tried the food at the "food court" @ sembawang mrt huh? is the food nice? if i can have a wish list for sembawang... 1. more buses to civilization aka town areas 2. upgrade sun plaza 3. swimming pool 4. shoot down all the bicycles 5. sheltered walkways everywhere. it's very very very sunny and hot in 38wang...

i don't mind the wives party... but cycling... no thanks... i can't cycle... haha... running... ehhh... i hate running... =P anyway... i think the neighbour staying above me just moved in... or moving in... heard a lot of knocking over the last weekend, and saw a lot of things at the lift lobby on the ground floor too! there goes my noisy Wii and mahjong parties... =P

i use a 5.5KG electrolux dryer wall hung upside down. no problems with the quilts, bedsheets and stuff in 1 load. tried to dry a lot of stuffed toys in all shapes and sizes also ok... the biggest is around 50cm tall... and all came out "alive", dry and clean... 2 towels and 2 pairs of jeans and some clothes go in at the same time also ok... but might need to rearrange halfway to ensure thorough drying.

Spotlight also have some of these shower rods.

this is the oven that i bought... cos don't have space to house both and oven and microwave. plus i wasn't sure if i will make use of the oven or microwave often cos most of the time eat out, nothing much to heat up. yet, i don't want to have to curse and swear when i really need to use and i never buy... so got this hybrid since it's cheap... below $500 i think... so that won't waste money too. http://www.sharp.com.sg/SharpProducts/prod....asp?prodID=162 it works as convection oven, grill, microwave. so far had managed to bake cake, muffins, cookies out of it... simple to use. the convection oven comes with preset temperatures. 230, 220, 200, 180, 160, etc (degrees Celsius). The same temperature for the preheat oven function.

i did my new executive hdb for around 30K. so really depends on the design and what you want. mine was quite simply done up and i didn't do anything to 2 of my bedrooms.

i hope it's good lar... i nv went to the old ones before but when i saw the site a couple of weeks ago, like very small leh. i'm getting sick of Sun Plaza. Nothing there one. I hope they extend Sun Plaza too! Nearer! =P and ehh... maybe... do something about the HDB Branch office? the big place only has a few shops on the 1st floor. Like a bit waste of space right?

yes yes... wives go for tea... husbands go kopitiam la kopi... hahaha... =)

does the bin come with a lid? i dun like lidless bins leh... later got smell... i got some "butterfly" bins from ikea... but hor... irritating... not good for kitchen... hmm... u think the kitchen cabinet door will spoil easily if need to open the door to use the bin often?

buahahaha... that's funny... "abandoned wives" chamber... i hope i dun get abandoned for long periods... haha... anyway... out of curiosity... have everyone staying ard here met up before or something? the only person i have met so far is karen... =P

reno electrician by my ID. but they never do anything to the circuit board. it's in the condition hdb gave. the 24hr electrician listed in the emergency number list that hdb gave is the same electrician the firemen called for us. electrician came and tell us to find our own electrician to fix the prob... cos it's not his prob... *duh... what kind of crap is that???* circuit board burnt cases story... told to me by my id's electrician who kindly came down to fix the problem for us yes. we stay in sembawang.

well... we did nothing to the circuit board. in condition which hdb gave us. not sure if the electrician is from h*b or not... it was listed as the 24hrs electrician in some of the papers that h*b gave us when we got the house and coincidentally the same electrician which the fire department contacted. the electrician that came? he brought NOTHING with him. how can he resolve anything? duh... some kind of electrician... he came EMPTY HANDED! even the firemen came with toolkit lar! faintz... if there's anyone to doubt... i doubt the empty handed "electrician". or maybe he is angry that he had to work at 5am in the morning and he's not awake... duh.... oh... anyway... the phone number of the 24hr electrician listed in the paper that h*b gave... it's wrong! duh duh duh...

ehh... i dun have the photo with me leh... let me try to get it ya... haha situation is... 1am... burning smell... cannot find source... close windows to isolate source 1.30am... WII PARTY!!! 3am... more burning smell.... 3.30am... blackout 3.35am... discovered the circuit board thing got melted, dented, very warm on 1 side. switched off the mains **** scared... 3.40am... call fire department 3.45am... firemen + police came . did some fixing... switch on partial mains 4am... everything back to normal, except no lights in living room and kitchen area. 5am... electrician from HDB came with nothing in hand!!! say he can't do anything... ask us to call our own electrician

haha... that's the prob... this thing u can't check... cos it only happen later... sighz... and by then... it's too late...

i bought direct from the banquet... the quality not bad... and i get free wine per table and don't know how to gauge how much extra. too tedious to have to buy, bring there, not enough also sianz, too much have to bring back also sianz. plus must pay corkage to the banquet... too troublesome liao...

wah! when i discover the burning smell and cannot locate where... first thing that came to mind was... ****... dun tell me something wrong with wiring... i just finish reno... i dun want to spoil anything... keke... aiyo... why ur toilet liddat one... i hear liao i also scared leh... last time my HB's rental flat... the pipes burst... yes... it was the stinky water pipes in the kitchen... you dun want to imagine the smell... no one want to take responsibility... and it took like 1 week or more to get fixed... now i think of it... really smelly....

hmm... yah... melted lar... scary hmm... the part that melted controls the lights in living room, kitchen and service balcony leh... ehhh... how to draw too much current? lights quite standard... i dun think i have overly a lot of lights either... anyway... when the electrician came... he told us 2 parts out of the total dunno how many are for smaller current the others are ok for large current... so we got him to change both lar... dun want another melt down. think i wouldn't be typing this if i had gone to bed early that night! thanks to the bros who came over for WII party at 1am! haha...

hmm... i dun like Ch**B** lar... i asked a few frens before... but all nv give good comments leh... not intending to go back to them also... cheap cheap but den... ehh... experience not good ba... i want go holiday have fun and enjoy not to get upset... it's normal that the trip is not confirmed one... esp if u book way ahead... i ever booked with CTC before... den the original date i wanted dun have enuff ppl, so they ask if i want change to another earlier date which is confirmed... den ok lar... change lor... earlier a few days only... me currently trying to plan for honeymoon... but haven't done any homework... Egypt is one of the choices lar... dunno if its too shiong for honeymoon or not leh... haha...

so quiet these days... think everyone bz MJ-ing? hehe... not sure if any of you faced this problem before... but my Circuit Breaker Box (the "mains" box in the kitchen) melted 2 weeks ago and almost scared me to death... initially there was some burnt smell... but after searching for a couple of hours we can't locate where the smell came from... after like another 3 hours, the smell was still there and the house blacked out... yes... it was 3am when it happened and we just finished our WII party... so we decided to trace and search again.. and finally we discovered that the plastic parts on the Circuit Breaker Box was melted (there was a dent!!!). and guess what... no internet, no numbers to call, no one around awake... we called the Fire department... the fire engine came... the law enforcers also came, did some i have no idea what... and we got back lights for most parts of the house (living room and kitchen area no lights cos the controller thing melted can't repair) and electricity... and needed to call an electrician down the next day. when the electrician came... he told us that the part of the box that melted cos it wasn't allowed to take large loads... DUH! and... TADAH... we are not the first in the block to have this happening! ****! what is HDB doing? we called HDB and they say it's not their fault! and they can't help, blah blah blah... DUH!

i've nv been to egypt before... but i would definitely recommend CT* over Cha*B**... i went on trips with both before... very upset with Cha*B**... a lot of hidden costs... like they will tell u can watch this perf that perf... but when go there... den we realised that it's not included in package... when we buy nv tell us... !$#!@#!@ and the food... hmm.. we compare with other groups in the same restaurant... always ours seems worse... CT* is best lar... that's why i keep going back to them... the counter staff are good... give good recommendations... most of the times... haha... the service during the trip also good... so far dun have cases of hidden costs also...

confirm good buy... especially when there's no one at home the entire day for my case... dun want to leave the laundry out to dry den in the middle of the day rain, or neighbours throw things... arggg... i will faintz... so much more convenient to have a dryer... can settle all laundry in like a few hours! ohhh... remember to leave ur windows open wide when u use dryer! haha... my HB forgot and ended up... my whole service balcony and kitchen was badly fogged/misted up... think will be bad for the kitchen wardrobe and stuff... too much moisture!
