For 拜Guan Ying as 干妈 used to be very popular in olden days, they does that either because their child is very naughty, disobedient, sickly. So that they hope guan ying can help look after their child. Procedure wise if my memory din fail me. Bring the child to Guan Ying Temple with offering, knee before guan ying, pray and ask if guan ying willing to accept yout child as godson or god-daughter, throw the nut shape thing(pua buay) on the ground if sheng bei (one up one down) = accept , other than that= reject. Can only have 3 tries. I dun think staring in the sky and acknowledge it yourself is counted leh. See what other brother and sister here can advise you lor.

surfcast thanks

quite watery so i dun like it

I assuming the sales person is talking abt the MCB(Main Circuit Breaker) in your Home DB. for common practice usually our home would have 1 or 2 20A MCB and the rest of the MCB are 16A, 13A etc. Normally the electrician would cater more than enough MCB rating to the household 20A MCB -1 Built in oven that is 16A 32A MCB?? -1 Induction Hob that is 30A (are you sure your hob so high power consumption?) 16A MCB -1 External Big Electric Heater for showering 20A MCB - 2 System3 Air-Con Compressors 13A MCB -1 Washer cum Dryer 16A MCB -1 Fridge Lighting wise should be using 5A MCB

Care to share the painting contact?

hi fella, ever thought of the wishing elephant, also white in color.

I already state that I'm just a beginner. share my thought. I'm not Shifu..

My Understanding for placing "guan yin" at home is a bit different. I just share my view. The position to place "guan yin" statue criteria 1) Best is to overlooking the whole living room. ie. Facing door, window, overview anyone entering the house. 2) Against solid wall aka good mountain location.

mae29, Thanks for your compliment. Ultimately i hope our thread starter simontsh benefit from our discussion. All the best!!

Thanks for sharing but too Chim for me. I Lost in the jungle liao.

Ya i mean center(7). The square in the center of the 9 box.

I only know the Basic feng shui theory like 5 element and some simple one, we can learn together and share our view. Firstly I agree with you that MRT ,highway & road are forms of water in feng shui. But i dunno about the noise created by the road and MRT? I doubt that the noise created consider as water. My View is (9)South - Direction Element: Fire (Road Element: Water, Water Element Clashes with Fire Element) (4)South West - Direction Element: Earth (Road Element: Water, Earth Element Clashes with Water Element) (2)West - Direction Element: Metal (Road Element: Water, No connection) I'm not so well versed in timely star if i understand wrong please enlighten me. I only know that the timely star for 2011 is 8 , 9 , 1. Timely Auspicious Star is at 8 Sheng Qi is at 9 , 1, But the part that confusing is at (9)South. Cos it happens to be at "三煞" area, "声煞". At the same time "Sheng Qi" Timely Star. What's your view? Maybe it would be good for us to learn if you are willing to pour some of your knowledge and advice.

i agree with mae29 and thanks for reminding the annual influence date. Whether South, Southwest, West of your house is it affected by "声煞", i can't confirm. try answering the following question. 1. Is it very noisy when the MRT comes by everyday? 2. Does it affect your daily life or mood? 3. Is the road outside your window noisy also? 4. Does it affect your daily life or mood? 5. If yes for question 2 or 4, then that 3 direction of your house is somewhat affect by "声煞" 风水学上化解声煞的方法是在向着噪声之处安防一个葫芦或挂两串麒麟风铃 You also need to take note of your North, East and Center of your home. More importantly is your Center. Due to your prosperity Star is infiltrated by the Burglary Star so have to be careful when dealing with it. As common remedy that people use for this situation is placing an ornament like Elephant or Rhino to 化解. Just my 2 cent worth of view.

I din get any FSM to view my house. I try to study on Feng Shui, arrange the stuff at home on my own. Most importantly is must feel comfortable and not an eye sore to me.

I'm not an expert in Feng Shui, still a beginner in FS. In General Feng Shui term, - Your Stove is not opposite your basin (Still Alrite) - Your Bed End is not facing toilet or door (Still Alrite) - Your MBR Bed is facing your TV set, I still don't think it is good. Affect Sleep??(Can't comment much on this, Up to you!!) - Try to keep your MBR Toilet close if possible. (Still Alrite) Just Share my point of view using Flying Star 2011 as baseline as shown below. According to the information that you have provided, your MBR,Study Room, Guest Room, Living Room is affected by "Sheng Sha" basically Noise Pollution in layman term. As accordance to FS, "Sheng Sha" would affect one's mood, concentration & health of the people living there. Maybe you can google more on Sheng Sha information yourself ba. See the Table below for the remedies if needed.

Block aircon, usually the dirt is very jialat liao but if u say Leaking aircon, did the l-cool ppl flush your aircon outlet piping? The Freon gas cannot over top up if not the aircon won't be cold. As long as within acceptable level it would be good enough.

Nope, mine is an ID. Producing just a lump sum is not a problem, more importantly is to break down into individual item. Only in a breakdown form then you can check what have been missed out. It's just a question of trust. Take the lighting for example, they can fix the downlight for you but wiring charge you extra by saying it is not in the contract or you previously din say mah. Everything is due to the contract is too vague, you suffer in paying more than the agreed amount lor. Anyway If you don't believe my word, just go ahead and try with a vague contract and see what happens later.

So far for Cheap Aircon Servicing the cheapest quotation i got was from Cosy Engineering, Tel:67411228 (Cheapest i could find) - $88 for Chemical Overhaul of 1 FCU (Dismantle whole FCU). But bad thing is they don't do chemical wash without dismantle. The other one i tried their service(quite good and reasonable rate) before was Lemoncool aircon servicing, Tel6782 1209 / 8222 2024. look for Mr Ong. They do give discount if do system 2 or 3 together. - $120 for Chemical Overhaul of 1 FCU (Dismantle whole FCU) - $80 for Chemical Wash of 1 FCU (Without Dismantle FCU)

Alamak. Still not clear enough. I believe the ID should break down the list of things to do for your house rite. Did he breakdown the list of item like the example below with breakdown of cost for each item. make sure it is black and white. Example: Hacking Hacking dining room floor tiles Hacking master room floor tiles Removal of Existing WC or Hacking of WC (different price) Removal of Existing Basin Removal of Existing Electrical Wiring Tiling Cement Screed for Dining Room Cement Screed for Master Room Tiling dining room floor tiles Tiling master room floor tiles Carpentry Installing false ceiling (whole house or what, they count by per sq feet) Installing cabinet for master toilet Electrical Work Installing down light for false ceiling (How many Qty, every quantity is charged accordingly) Installing of electrical wiring for down light Others Painting for whole house? Installing master toilet accessories Installing of Basin Installing faucets for master toilet Installing rainshower for master toilet Installing WC for master toilet

currently i'm using the Karcher SC952, bought it around $60+ at Homefix. But i feel that the pressure is not strong enough. another karcher model SC 1122 is having a much higher pressure rating. maybe u can opt for that if u have higher budget if not u can try the SC 952. But a point to take note: remember to cover the electrical wiring with newspaper so that the water won't short circuit the system. Pull out the aircon plug or switch off the isolator of your aircon before maintenance.

I dun have any issue cleaning my mum's starmex. if u want to do dry cleaning, 1. Prepare a vacuum cleaner, a painting brush (20mm or 40mm) will do the job. 2. After removing the fin, use the painting brush to clean the dust out of the blower. 3. While doing that use the vacuum cleaner to suck the dust from the blower. That's the dry way. If you think it's not clean enough you can go for wet cleaning. For wet cleaning, either use steam cleaner or concaire cleaner. 1. See the concaire website for more info. http://concaire.blogspot.com/ 2. Need to prepare a big plastic bag to contain the dirty water from aircon. I actually tried both way, steam cleaner and concaire cleaner. Alas i prefer using steam clean coz it is cheaper and no chemical smell after cleaning. Furthermore it is a one time investment for many years. I chose Karcher steam cleaner as it is more reputable. 1. you can clean not only the blower, it could be use for the coil also. 2. recently then i discovered that you can even drip few drop of essential oil in the water. Eg.tea tree oil. Helps in adult or children with sinus problem. 3. You can even clean it weekly whenever u have the time. ** In my opinion it would be cleaner if u do the dry cleaning step follow by wet cleaning.

When it comes to kitchen cabinet. You need to see how many ft that you requires, Top + Bottom. When you know the number of ft needed. 2 yrs ago i did mine for $110 per feet. Roughly market rate for kitchen cabinet is $90-$130 per ft, For Solid Surface market rate should be around $80-$110 per ft. Remember workmanship counts, dun just think of cheap cheap cheap.

If your ID were to rectify this issue, his subcon would have to remove your cabinet door and redo the lamination.

Hmm.. Although i din buy my curtain from that shop but my custom-made sofa cushion was done there. Workmanship is still ok. Price is quite Ex. But if u are looking at curtain, roller binds etc.. you can try the shop near lavender food center, shop name: MGL Curtain & Furnishing. My curtain was done by them, price is reasonable, so far 2 years passes still good and sturdy.. You can go and compare the prices before making decision.

In my opinion, if cost is not an issue to you and insisting to have an aircon in the living room. I would suggest : For Bedroom 3: Window Unit. Your toilet is further away from toilet so water piping outlet for aircon would need to lay far. System 2: For MBR & Living Room. Since your living room needs a bigger BTU aircon, must as well get 2 bigger BTU for both your MBR and living room. Up to you to decide.
