Hi fellow neighbours! My name is Alvin. My wife and me have gotten a unit at 79E and we're just about to begin on our renovation. However, we're in need of a Professional Engineer (PE) as we plan to hack a wall. Does anyone know an affordable and good PE? If you do, please email me his contact details at alvinchumari@hotmail.com. As our renovation has been scheduled for coming 6 Oct, it doesn't leave us much time to find a PE. Your help would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Alvin

Hey Alvin,

- ur ID/Contractor no lobang?

- e cheapest in e market shd b startin at $300 onwards, depending on e complexity of hacking.

- additional $$$ involve >

-- dismantle existing door frame, if any.

-- seal-up existing doorway, if any.

-- hack wall, create e door opening.

-- supply & install nyatoh door frame.

-- make good affected walls.

-- supply & install bedroom door, if needs 2. May use back existing door if e direction of swing is similar. If not, gota ask around fellow neighbours whom gona throw away theirs. But i think gona wait 4 e upcuming batch. Or mayb u wana try e Bangalashi workers, they do keep quite a nos. of discarded doors.

-- relocated affected elect conduit, wiring & switch pt, if any.

- new crates of cement had jus been delivered, so i presume e final batch of 79 neighbours r gona collect their keys beli beli soon.

- noise & dust wil soon b bak again.

Hey groovygenie,

Meowie,

I was walking at sky garden yesterday too, saw the CCTV at the lift lobby areas and they are installing at Sky Garden too. So finally they have stepped up and start to action on it. Seems to have lesser punks around there now... and looks much cleaner too. Hopefully it stays that way for a long time.

Households to see average rise of about 22% in electricity bills from Oct

By Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 29 September 2008 1035 hrs

SINGAPORE: Higher oil prices have pushed up electricity prices for this quarter by about a fifth.

SP Services said on Monday households will see an average increase of 21.46 per cent in electricity bills, when average electricity tariffs go up by 5.38 cents per kilowatt-hour.

On average, all SP Services customers will face a 21.89 per cent increase.

For the period from October 1 to December 31, tariffs have been pegged to a higher "forward fuel oil price" of S$155.14 per barrel.

This price is 38.06 per cent higher than the S$112.35 per barrel in this current quarter.

The electricity tariff is reviewed quarterly and adjusted in line with fluctuations in the cost of electricity, and approved by the Energy Market Authority.

At a news conference on Monday, the Authority's chief executive Khoo Chin Hean said that the increase is the highest so far this year.
