Hi! I would appreciate if you could recommend me a FS practitioner for my house moving date. Thanks for your help!!

Thanks bro! Will drop by one of these days to check it out.

Hi all! I wish to check any of the bro/sis here saw shops selling something similar to the painting above? I searched a few places but in vain. Thanks for your help!!!

Hi, can view this web for design. Price is rather reasonable and they response very fast to your request. http://www.panggiap88.com.sg/

Anyway my railings dismantled already. My ID thinking of building "bricked" wall as railing for my house. Managed to ask her do for me FOC.. Dunno will be nice or not though......

Hi! I personally feel that if you don't really like the design of the gates/grilles, you need to replace them. I'm replacing mine cause previous owner also choose those flowery design. Even tight on budget also change!!!! manage to squeeze some cash out by cutting budget on other area. **heart pain pain** I can't imagine every day I return home from work and the 1st thing that greets me is this green and ugly door gate/grilles. walan.... will faint.. Also I find it pointless if your house design or reno till swee swee but spoil by the gate/grilles looks. Well, again, it will depend what theme your house is having. Such flowery designs may blend into certain themes but abit hard to swallow for modern/minimalist theme. If really no money, probably can coat the gate/grilles in silver. Somehow it will look nicer......

maybe can add me in the Tampines EM kaki.

Well... MaCe, I'm a smoker too but I won't smoke inside the living room or toilets, even before my baby girl was born. I'm not asking my dad to quit, just request him not to smoke in cofined area. I don't see that as applying tremendous pressure to him. And you are right, we have to give and take when we live with our parents under the same roof, but I have responsibilities for my kids too. Being filial is not simple obeying. For example: if my parents are obese, I will accompany them to stroll in the park to keep their bodies healthy, if they have high blood pressure, I will make sure every meal will be a healthy and nutritious meal. If my dad loves to smoke, I'll smoke with him! just kidding. Anyway, he is very understanding and now he is enjoying his puff in the balcony area. Well, I do join him occassionally as I'm currently trying to cut down my nicotine intake. And the part regarding old folks homes, I'm not exactly the perfect son, but I will take good care of my parents till old age. I don't know any people in their right mind would send their parents to the old folks home... that is in my opinion, simply, NOT RIGHT.

Actually I think you should approach your FIL and tell him you don't like the idea of him smoking in the toilet. There is no point hinting or waiting for him to change his habits coz he won't. I've told my dad to smoke in the balcony for the sake of his grand daughter. And he understand and I can see he is trying his best to smoke at the "designated" area. kekeke... Some things are hard to say but you got to say, if not, it is you who will suffer in the end.

Thanks MaCe!!! I am rushing my ID to complete the reno by this month so we can move in before the "Gate" open. Thanks for your advice.

Hi MaCe, If I were to move house in the 7th month, any ideal dates to move? Thanks for your advice!!!

I don't have the grant... Coz HDB said applicable to 1st time buyers buying resale flat..... My 1st flat was at Sengkang. So not entiltled..... As for how much I'm paying.... it is about 1k plus per month...

Hi!! It is not 545k, house valued at 515k, COV 15k = total 530k. i too think the COV reasonable, but the condition not very good....... The previous owner never do much maintenace....

Hi!! You are right about the valuation... My unit was valued at 515k.... COV was 15k = 530k.... My wife and I had searched the area for quite sometime but alot of owners were asking for COV 50k to 100k!!! They must be crazy.... In the end, saw this unit COV was within our budget and decided to take a look. Somemore it is just opposite my parent's place and my mum can help me to take care of my baby while we are working. Initially we were quite worried as we found it strange that the owners were asking a much lower COV compared to other units. Was it a "marked" by Ah-long? Could it be haunted? Did someone died in this unit? In the end, we met the owners and realized they are migrating soon.... All the uneasiness feelings disappeared and I made the deal on the spot.

Hi! The unit was priced at 530k. COV owner was asking for 20k, but managed to cut it to 15k.... I still find the COV high as the condition of the house needs to be re-make again.... But due to the good location, I still bought it. Hope can cut cost on reno now.... not much budget left.
