Monetary wise, it should not be expensive if you get the seed + pot + earth from any Orchids.

Its the time and work required to care for the plant and clearing excess water so as not to breed mosquitoes that may be the true 'cost'.

No Worries! I will be dedicated in caring for the plant to ensure it grows nicely. I will trim the leaves every other day to ensure the secretion of the sap/scent that will keep the roaches away. I will clear the excess every night so that our house won't end up getting infested by mosquitoes. Leave that to me! :sport-smiley-003:

this mecha is champion siah! :lol:

Hmm...I am sure the price is also champion lor :deal:

Err...I prefer to work in Raffles Place. Previous work place is located there and it took me only 25mins to commute to work including total 15 mins of walking time to MRT stn & office. Now I need total 45mins travel time to get to work at Suntec...hence always late :P

Good luck to both of you for the reno.

Wow...conspiracy in the brew! :no:

Dear Dear! You very bad leh! 8| Threatened me to have quick showers in future with roaches threat (he said he will not put any drainage trap in the shower room so that I will be showering in fear of "roaches invasion" and as a result I will take shorter shower :~) then now trying to conspire with others to make me accept having cats... :bangwall:

Sleek jie (or mei???), I adore kittens and puppies, just like I love babies & toddlers cos they are simply cute & adorable with heart-melting innocence :rolleyes: BUT to have one and bring them up & take care of them...me no such patience, discipline, responsibility & TLC in doing that PLUS I have history of asthma in my childhood hence I am afraid my respiratory system will become problematic if I come in contact with animal fur for long period :(

I remembered IRC before there was ICQ. I think that was what you looking for?? Hhmmmm.... I think those that don't IRC are different era from me.

Aderkong, you make me feel old now. :(

Oh gawd, why do I still remember my ICQ number and the annoying sounds it made? Mine was like a 5 digit number...and I used my own scripts for IRC and was on Dalnet channels like #H_A_C_K, #Hackers etc (reason how I first picked up Swedish), and was sy-ops for most of the channels I frequented, or hijacked a-ops for channels I wanted :P Was a bad, bad girl. :P

Ader, you must not have read about chronic asthma/allergy condition that requires an entire brew of meds daily (I'm on prescription eye drops, nasal sprays, steroids, 2 inhalers, several antihistamines, steroid creams) but it's so rewarding what the pets return to you. They never lie about love, and they never hold grudges. My private personality led me to bond with animals a lot more so it comes naturally to me the responsibilities of good pet ownership as well as spoiling them to bits. I've been hospitalised several times for asthma in the ICU and even had an ambulance come to get me because I was literally dying. It hasn't deterred me from keeping pets at all. Of course, I get a lot of flak from my asthma specialist but we manage, and we're doing more than okay. If I can control my medical problems while living with (currently) 4 dogs, 3 cats, a bird, fish, then a childhood asthma history won't be a problem. :) I, too, had asthma since I was a child.

It's also about grooming. I brush Bondi twice daily despite how dog-tired I am. I use shed control shampoo. I bathe them weekly. I use the best rake brushes out there. I provide the best food I can afford. I understand not everyone is as devoted to animals as I am, but if you take some necessary precautions (which is also seen as good bonding time with the pets), you can have it all. :)

Cats rarely, if ever, require discipline. In fact, they train you :P Well, take a look for yourself with Bondi when you come over. Also a good way of seeing if you're still allergic to their dander/fur, especially when he has really plush fur :)

Gee...Ely...you must be a super noble saint pet lover! :thumbs up:

But I am not even your 1% cos I really do not have that TLC and big warm kind heart :unsure: My liking for animals is not so strong that I want to take them in as pets and take care of them like my babies... >_<

Hardly. I'm that strange geeky girl people couldn't understand :P It differs from person to person - some find it challenging, some find it intriguing, some find it just too much trouble :lol: Well, easy form of elimination. The good girls are the ones men want to marry though :P

I no longer think good and bad are opposites - they are merely different intensities. I believe duality is NOT a weakening element. One can make a strong tool out of it. It all depends on one’s flexibility, if one is able to yield to double pressures and move with fluidity between them. It is the rigidity which causes the breaks.

I'm think I'm a little bit opposite from you - I feel more confident about my pet-parenting abilities than being a real mother to children. Somehow I never coo at kids or offer to carry strangers' kids like some girl friends of mine do. I coo at the dogs, make instant friends with their owners, play with every stray kitty and do rounds of crazy feeding, bring the stray cats in for baths, and routine cleaning. Motherhood is going to be a very interesting, and self-revealing experience :)

It only takes ONE special animal to get you hook, line and sinker :) I'm sure your devotions are directed to other things/people where your kindness and warmness shines, like your relationship with Seth :) You both seem to have great chemistry.

My passion for animals come from a very simple place - it's a self-protective flight. I don't have to justify myself to them, they accept me for who I am, and they never judge. :) The Husband calls me Ace Ventura because animals respond to me so readily - it's an odd connection. Even horse riding comes naturally to me because of my connection with them. When I last rode in Bali, no one could believe I had only ridden twice before. "Show me the meaning of haste!" :lol:

Ader, not a problem to ask Andrew to do top hung. Don't think it will cost extra. You can ask him.... The only thing is, top hung also need to have wire mesh. The window contractor very nice... I met him few times cos Everytime he came to measure, I happened to be there. Quite funny scene... Haha....

Ok, I found one pendant light that I can IMAGINE it will look nice in a contrasting manner for a minimalist theme.

I can visualize the colour effect bring some "warmth" to our home.

I leave the aesthetic to Ader - I know I suck at that department...
