Me too, the place is usually pretty quiet too. But the down side of the area is food and marketing is pretty expensive in Serangoon. Oh yeah, surprisingly there are afew good places for crabs around serangoon .

ok lah... not so bad... Still can get 1 meat+2 veg for $2.30 - $2.80. What I really like about my area is the nice, big trees along Sgn Ave 2.. I just hope they don't chop anymore down for the new bus interchange and shopping centre.

A tree that takes 20 -30 yrs old to grow into a respectable size that can provide shade gets chopped down in less than half an hr..<sigh> Nowadays, NParks plants all those "lollipop" trees that don't really provide shade at all! It may be more practical coz less branches will break if there's strong wind or rain, but the disadvantage is no shade lor..

I didn't know our side has gd crab place!Where do you go for crabs?

Unfortunately I dun stay in serangoon now, my parents' place is around that area. Yeah, the trees were there even before we move in. Come to think of it, i think i stayed there like 20 + years ah.

There are 2 places to get ur crab fix, the problem is I know how to get there but dun really know the exact road name or stall name.. One is some where near the stadium, i think it is called 168 Joo chiat place or something. NOT that KIM's somethng. Another is the X junction between ave 2 and 3 a kopi shop zi char, the crab bee hoon soup nice.

heh..done!

Just shortlisted 2 contractors/ID and now looking for the 3rd. My preference is a contractor who can speak English, no need 3D drawings..

I had shortlisted some even before I had gotten my flat based on the forum here, but some of the contractors/IDs have ran into issues shortlisted then have either closed shop or have serious customer complaints, so must look again <sigh>.

Second appointment is in late June, so will probably need to start sourcing for contractors soon. Reading so many blogs on IDs and contractors has gotten me a little stressed out with all the possible things that could go wrong.. but will take things as they come... praying that I will be able to find a gd & honest contractor that can work within the very small budget I have in mind.

Hi~ Congratz on your new home~ hee my 2nd appointment is around the same time as yours too...

i've been thinking of doing my own dining table with the old bedrm door and some pipes..

My bedrm door is the simple, old type with no pattern at all.. just smooth surface and the knob. Thinking of asking the contractor to laminate the door and leave the drknob hole for wires to pass through when I do steamboat! Dining table should hopefully look something like

Qn as always, is where to get the pipes..

[patsy_sg 1]

you can get the pipes from those hardware stores in jalan besar I think... those that supply the heavy stuff to contractors

ya boy!I have a direct train that goes straight to my office..everyday can find a seat on the train. Even though the journey is longer and a bit more expensive than the NEL, I don't come to the office feeling irritated at being squished at the door while other people choose not to move to the middle of the carriage..

Worth the extra time and $$!
