zanie98 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 Dear all,My suggestion is not to rush into investment or insurance for this purpose, check with the back for a short term FD eg. 3 to 6 months renewable, open a CPF IS account with the bank and transfer the fund to FD, there should be some bank can do it. You will not lose much interest on this and the purpose is to cushion for emergencies. Check it out. After HDB transation completed, closed the FD and put back the fund to CPF then decided what to do with the fund. Additional information is that wef 31 Dec 2007, first $20k from OA will be lock for any CPF IS, so if you think you need to set aside some CPF money for emergencies, please do it before 31 Dec 2007. If you need further information, you may e-mail to tpcrc2@gmail.comRegardsLike what alister say, but never rush into investment or insurance because of this reason, look for bank FD than decide later. Hmm...Are you now giving advice in the capacity of a RC chairperson promoting social bonding or a govt person teaching us ways of self survival? Or a financial advisor trying to get business?

Hi,The RC objective is to promote social & community bonding, we share information and problem solving, this is just a suggestion as a goodwill for those who think they need to do some arrangement, the choice is on individual.

Ikoice 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 Dear Blk 79 neighbours!Its been some time since I last posted sthg. Been so bz juggling work, reno, shopping for hse etc But I'm happy to announce that my reno is officially starting this Tues! I've already chosen my tiles and they are in the hse now. Other than getting caught up with Reno, been bz shopping for our new hse. Went to OM @ Liang Court as well and we decided to get all our furniture from there..haha! Looks like I have the same dining table (and probably chairs!) with strawberry_pear and josephine. But its really pretty and they have a matching coffee table (UNO).Thumbs up to Michael for his excellent customer service I nearly wanted to buy the mattress fm him but after much consideration, still preferred the Sealy Royal Monarch. The lady said that its the same mattress used in Four Seasons Hotel! All I can say is SHIOK! Also bought my fridge, TV, Washer & Dryer from Harvey Norman. I went to check out the prices frm neighbourhd shops such as Aik Leong and told Harvey Norman to match the price. They gave me even lower!! Heard from my fren they have this 'meet your lowest price' policy and its true Furthermore, they are an established company, dont c them closing down in the coming years.. unlike the neighbourhd shops.I'm now left with shoping for bathrm accessories, lights, my oven, hob and hood. Went to Asia Excel@IMM and was served by Maverick. V patient guy..will most prob get my stuff frm him unless Teka sale comes soon Will be heading down to Balestier to get my sanitary ware and bathrm accessories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
