MaCe 3 Report post Posted October 19, 2007 Reno/household Stuffs you dont need.4) Curtains. I always find it FUNNY when pple spends thousands on their custom made curtains to match with their $399 or $499 sofas or those sub $100-$300 fragile furnitures. I am even more surprise that there are MANY such pple around and I really couldnt understand their logic behind it. Curtains costs 3-4 times more than the sofa?To me, the house will look like a man with messy hair, $10 shirt, $10 pants but wearing a $2000 Branded shoes. They call that as NICE?If you have a house designed by IDs, with all the expensive branded furnitures of cos you need nice and expensive looking - custom made curtains to go with it. Furnitures costs 3-4 times more than the curtain certainly has more logic.Ready made curtains costing $49-$99 are avaliable everywhere - and there are nice ones too depending on individuals' taste. Toa payoh central is good place to start off - 3 curtain shops there.More on broadband. SIgn up to your neightbour Wireless Router by paying maybe 20% of his Subsciption.Of course your neightbour must give you his SSID and WEP encrption password.Good tip but must have very friendly neighbours.My take on internet.(my profession)IF you live in a condo - go for SCV, faster cos less household sharingIF you live in a HDB - go for singnet adslFor $57+ per mth your internet is still around and below 512k - a lot of times below 256kcos you are sharing a single pipe line with EVERY HOUSEHOLD in your entire ESTATE!For $30+ per mth under singnet, you get 700k-1mbps!!

More tips on communications saving. If you are a OverSeas frequent traveller, do not try to call home using your mobile. Really expensive.Go to any of the local phones retailer/shop and buy the local calling card. Like that you can speak long long and incured less to your pockets or office claims.

Example if company allows you to work from home, tries to work from home and claim broadband and save the transport per day. IF can lagi best ask them to sponsor your electrical bills and all phones bills for office usage. Of course afterall it is yours. Shhh....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
