You are actually asking for a "one-way mirror", lighting conditions are important for this application. "Observer" side must be always darker........no such thing as True one-way mirror. Curtain is still the best, try make a 2-layer curtains, one thin, one dark. Apply thin to let light in, but others can't completely see through.... http://www.apexfilms.ca/one-way_two-way_mirror.htm

Another Ho say liao, welcome the flood comes to DTL3?

I kena frightened once (mid night)in a Vietnam hotel room, since then I realised the "power" of mirror. Since then, become sensitive to mirror locations whether in Singapore or go oversea. Previous & present houses have installed half-height-full-width mirror panels just next to dinning tables. Don't know got "Double food", "water" or not, but found quite practical, comb hair, adjust cloth, make funny face, practise speech, press pimplets(I got no more pimpets)....so "powerful". This mirror always catches visitors' attention, don't know why le? As long as you can tahan the "shock" in midnights, then ok. I'm getting older, so does the heart, can't stand this kind of shock any more.

I also quite confused abt these DBSS/EC/BTO. Not too sure when DBSS/EC get their straita title.

Eye opening! Execs nowaday so busy till don't how to dump rubbish but know how to "push" rubbish. Own's used pad anyhow put - got keep in wd or not?, don't want to see another article in Shin Ming.

Feng Shui rotation, now you're at upper hand, congrat!.

Htng is wring abt specs. All products are "supposed" to come with technical specs and features written somewhere for consumers' understanding and choice making. Product not conforming to spec = failure. Best to buy products that come with specs, however, not necessarily products with specs are good. Paste reflect sticker on one blade, on the fan, & use tachometer to pt at the reflective sticker, meter will tell rpm. Japan engineer is not only for htng, I believed, there are some more "victims" out there. I was searching for KDK fan & kena routed to this RT forum last year. Ended up I bought 2 x V56VK from amk, cash, self delivery, shocked to see no "bracket". Capital Distribution should have but lazy to go all the way there. Other brands of fan "never" got my attraction, only KDK. I used to have 4 wall-mounted fans, some(~ 3) standing & table fans (visitors came & saw, said I "wind" siao) I don't like to move fans here & there, plug in & plug out. Now my 5 rm got 2 x V56VK, 2 table fans & 1 standing fan, sys-3 aircon. I "wash" them every 3~4 months. Ceiling fans are abt 150-200watt. Pull cord, lighting below blade is a big "no, no". I prefer "hot" to death instead of seeing the cord hanging in the air or/and with those "lily" flowers below the fans. Remember fans are to circulate air only not cooling.

Sure- provided u have "strong heart", especially during mid-night, body wakes up with half-waking mind & "accidently" look into the mirror.

Look like inspecting TO is self-defensive & kiasi. No flower pots, no hooks, no rail then catch windows and aircon's compressor. What happen to yr air con compressor? About to drop & hit ppl's head? Get an aircon service co to certify yr compressor installation still very tokong, sign, chop and submit the report. In fact, if I were you, I would challeng HDB abt compressor installation: if need vibration test( how much verticaly/horizontal stress applied, hz range?), static load test (how many kg), dynamics load test, noise test (65dB measure 1 meter away).... ask them to list the "standards", only after passing these standards then is considered passed. If HDB has no such established standards, then what "report" they are referring to?(ensure 15A power socket is safe ?Present compressor weigh 80kg or less?) . Or, simply just get Ah cat or Ah dog co, writes something good, endorsed, signed, submit and case close?

Ah Di oei, seem u don't understand the rules of game well enough: 1. Once you "heng heng" got it, immediate need to pay 5% cash. 15% needs to be paid within 9wk after date of OTP or signing of S&P, then standard Progressive Payment kicks start. You need to borrow "ah kong"'s $ or bank's $. 2. You need to pay another 10% to developer once foundation completed......read the details of the payment method. 3. If payment smooth, heng heng about 2~3 years later then you can move in. Suay suay, the developer get caught in financial difficulty and project half-dead, good luck. 4. When near TOP, the total buying price is supposed to be disbursed to the developer already. What can HDB help? -HDB will offer you a piece of advise: Get advise from your solicitor. Note: When signing S&P, you need to pay stamp duty.(buying price x 3% - 5400)

DBSS/EC are not considered as "subsidised", so not subject to resale levy. BTO yes.

Another "how many wooden boards" question. Open my book to you: Kalimantan's post did not "aim" at any forumer in the first place, but why I responded to him in sure a way? Simply just to remind (in quite an unfrendly style, I must admit) him his sentence was too "bossy" could scare away those who want to express opinions. He apologised and I finally stated my views "foc" - win-win, isn't it. Only he knows. Or, Kalimantan, if you read this, care to express some to know what really happened, my hands typed until tired already lor.

I like your teochew's sprit: "must ask till how many wooden boards made up of a boat". Every invitation to master for an audit sure has motive/s behind. Only the owner knows the actual motive/s. Invited Master sure could "sense" the motive/s, whether with or without expressly spoke, along the way. Note: FS masters are trained and are super good at observing/interpreting behaviours, body languages.....be careful. I believed in one way or another, Kalimantan has made him unpleased, sincerity could be one of "them". Sure one has to express his sincerity(most often is how to show, simply just "open book" or "show hand"), and tell of his motives/reasons, of inviting master for an audit. It is not as simple/pure as like a commercial transaction, must remember this, very important. Otherwises, master will reserve & retreat. That was why I did "advise" a forumer abt a cancer patient, to "open book" with master first, then owner could receive optimum benifit. Hor, now you know the boat has how many wooden boards already. See next time you still dare/want to hide this and that in front of a master or not.

2 hand 2 legs agreed!

Since you ask AGAIN, I'll elaborate further. Hope my "protective shield" still functioning, haha. When I meet client/supplier/agent for 1st time, I will "auto scan" the person, based on my knowledge/experience/value, person's character, reasons for meeting..... then come to conclusion to see if he "worths" my service. Believed same process applies for all of us, more or less. I believed when Master Chang saw the settings, he could recongise & sense "something else is behind". Masters treat sincerity as "Heaven", human manipulation as "floor". He must have felt the "Heaven" & "floor" not in existence, & no worth for his "expertise". 2nd visit is just an excuse to exit. My experience (not fs related) indicates that some masters with real substances are siao siao, can ask rocket high price, can even provide free service as & when their deem fit. Unless Kalimantan "open" his book(something more than $ term), I doubt Master Chang is willing to show his "true color". Note: I'm not Master Chang nor his disciple/relative/....promotion hor, just my agar agar guessing/analysing.

Indeed, it is hard to understand God's will (the otherway round: if we can understand God's will then we are superior than Him and we are the "God"), unless He reveal Himself to us. God is a sprit, in fact need no object for Him to reside in, it is the human's "artificial intelligence" ie (drawing legs to a snake)who/which dictates such. So, where is the best place for God to "sit" to show your respect and sincerity? My answer is: MY HEART.Simply He is with me wherever I go. Hope I'm not making noise here.

Usually fans with shorter blade have higher pitch (the angle the blade is bent),so more amount of air is forced to move as compared to one with less pitch (KDK's). Fans for residential usage, as rule of thumb, rpm not exceeding 500 (14 inch blade). Higher pitch will load more on fan=consume more current. Too high speed >500rpm will create "noise" - air vibration. More blade meant for low speed, less blade meant for higher speed. - There is no "life time" warranty for motor. Verticle-mounted (ceiling fan) is easier to breakdown than horizontal-mount (standing fan) due to greater gravitional force acted on the armature shaft. The is an AC capacitor to create current/voltage phase shift in the beginning for fan to rotate, always "leak" in capacitance over time. Industrial fan has an average lifespan of 370,000hr, if to run contineous 24hr/day. Mosting due to mechanical wear & tear instead of electrical or electronic reasons. All fans, serve one basic function - air circulation. Other features are just "sweetners". I like plain, less feature, lasting, RC. If a fan can't make sufficient air circulation - throw away & get a bigger one.

Precise, tokong, no horse run.

Within heart we know that God come first, practically human (incl myself) always put self before God.

50% cash proceed applies to those who want to borrow $ from "Ah kong" for the 2nd time.

Finally someone asks a practical question. Good selection in the beginning can help a lot. Best rent to "company" instead of individual. Too many individual tenant yield more (to landlord) problem also more. I list the choices in order of "wise" to "bad" tenency rentl. 1. Company (follow TA, word by word ) 2. Whole Family (follow TA, otherwise members need to camp at beach) 3. Couples (they rent likely due to financial considerations = tight in $, if they quarrel, then landlord headace) 4. Individuals (to them, TA indifferent from a piece of "tiolet" paper) A good landlord should treasure those tenants with "long standing" with him. Why? think. Hope this "reply" does not deviate much from yr query.

Greatman thinks alike.!Haha

If really were to tile, is the door door, not the gate. If door comes with gate, then it is better two of then tile at same time. Master did not explain reason of tilting, or you did not ask?. My 3rd brother tilted his door & gate years ago (before 1993), then only yesterday I called him asked for the reason, then he told me: door's location (not facing)not in "favorable" trigram location of the 64 hexagram. He even told me he shifted 5.625 degree, "to compensate it". It refers to his bazi. He told me his fixed a string horizontally across old door frame. Make another string horizontally acorss new door frame. Get angular ruler ( 2 rulers rivoted, with 360 deg angle indication) measure & adjust to that required angle. He told me quite in detailed that he need to shift 1 trigram only (360/64), some ppl may need to shift more......

Did you measure if it is 5.625 degree? Or 11.25 degress?

Look like I need to brush up my language. Picture speaks a thousand words. Contractor at first fixed the gate the other way round. I did not realise the problem, I asked them to walk from lift towards door with gate swing first way out. They immediately removed and bring back with the present one. http://a.imageshack.us/img38/1526/welcomehomec.jpg
