Hi strawberry_peardo we have to look at the 'tong xin' for an ausipicous date to open the door the first time??did yr mil say anything abt it???helo dino, my mil and yeye only look into those chinese calendar and see if it is a "man ri"(hanyu pinyin) cos they know my hubby and i not pantang. if its a "po ri", then most of the chinese traditional good things cannot be done according to them...as i got my key during lunar 7th month, thus i waited until after it which is lunar 8th mth then go in...but all these are done cos i really want mil and yeye to be happy.hope that this helps!

strawberry_pear 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) oh yeah i forgot, the container to contain the rice and coarse salt mix must be new one!! my yeye bought for me a brand new red "gong" for that day when we carry out the 's.o.p". also when sprinkling water also must use new container to hold the water to sprinkle in the new hse.... and if ur daddy or mummy or a zhang bei doing it for u, must give hong bao to the person....dino u not losor la... hehe sometimes i also need to seek clarification a few times then will know what to do...however, it should be the owners (u and ah lao) go in together with the person doing the ceremony for u... if its u urself doing then u and hubby will go in first. hope this helps! :-) Edited October 16, 2007 by strawberry_pear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shay_d 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Hi Josephine,just to share, I don't think electric storage heaters will have a huge impact on your electric bills. Right now, I have a 30L ariston electric storage heater at home. I turn it on for 15 mins in the morning and after that off it. I can take a bath and my wife takes a bath. Later on at night when we return from work. We can take our baths again without turning on the heater and the water is still hot! That means we only incur the cost for the 15 mins when the heater was on. That's the beauty of storage heaters. But of course, you will have to remember to turn it off after 15-20 mins. Hi shivan,can i find out, where did you get your storage heater and do you still remember how much it cost??Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gadgetman 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2007 hey gadgetman, thanks for the beautiful pics!! btw,how's reno works coming up?? turns out that last sun i only managed to pick my bathroom accessories and then we spent the rest of evening confirmning with leonard with the remaining works in progress and upcoming works.. he's gd and has planned for works to continue as he left for overseas.... if u free, this weekend we can catch up!! Hi Strawberry Pear, the reno is still continuing at a very slow pace. I guess the carpentry works are on the way, but we can't really see the progress until the finished items are shipped in. Went to my unit yesterday and there is some progress on the toilet tiling works. (this has been delayed due to the hacking for the door frames) But even so, some of my designer tiles are still out of stock and it will still be a wait before the toilet tiling can really be completed. BTW, I will usually pop by my unit afterwork around 6.25pm. If you happen to be around just drop by and we can catch up again! I was thinking through the space issues and was really worried that there will not be enough storage areas in the new unit (cos we got so much junk at home!). Do you have any good storage ideas in your renovation that you can share with me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shivan 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2007 Hi shivan,can i find out, where did you get your storage heater and do you still remember how much it cost??Thanks! Hi shay_d,I bought it from Goh Ah Bee for $200+ i think, can't really remember the exact cost but i do remember the difference between the 30L and the smaller one from ariston is only about $20-30 difference so might as well get the bigger one... Ariston is a good brand, the previous one in my present house lasted us more than 10 years before it started leaking because of corrosion of the pipe. Other than that, the heater was still working fine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
