Ask wifey to feed breastmilk, like that save gu ni hun's money. and baby very healthy. I love kids.. I'm not too worried about the expenses of having a baby.. I'm more worried about taking care of it, worrying over it.. Not easy to be a mum and working at the same time.. We are also just married.. Customary also coming soon.. So slowly slowly bah.. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got study hard or not.. Got fail exams or not.. A lot of commitment involved.. I also think 2 kids are ideal.. Best is 1 pregnancy and you get a twins...

Who came? The ah nehs? Must tell uncle about laminate flooring. May have to replace that piece as it's unlike parquet which can be sanded down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
booy 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 My heart sinks... A chinese and indian guy came.. This is a pretty bad scratch.. and at a very prominent area as well... Haven't manage to tell Uncle yet.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smartie 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 Yah, sad man. Actually there are 2 scratches if you look carefully at the photo. One long one, and a shorter one near the top. Anyway, after the dismantling job was done, booy and I made a trip down to S & C again. Melvin told us that the Univonna coffee table that we are eyeing is custom made for Univonna, so he won't be able to get it for us because for such cases, he needs to order in batches of 20. So we gave up and chose another one from the catalogs. It's also white with glass on top. Not as nice as the original one, but for half the price, we can't really complain. We also bought our bedframe and dining table & chairs. Will post the photos tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XiaoBinBin 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 Oh... yah, it's a column, but there's supposedly a beam running across the top too. That's because the top shelves are also of a shorter depth. that same column we were talking abt....aiyo...has a beam 90degrees. FSM wants us to seal it completed!!! /faint...so thick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chinese old uncle? It's a different removal team from mine. Try to tell Uncle early so that he can rectify it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
