  1. It can be removed & repaint but the process takes time. 1. Use paint etching fluid (those applied between pvc pipes to make them "eat" together), must wear glove, protect rubber/pvc material nearby, floor....apply fluid onto paint by brush, wait for 1/2 hr or so, scrap away the paint, repeat the same if paint too thick. 2. Clean the metal frame by cloth, free from water, oil... apply a coat of primer, wait dry. 3. Apply enamal paint..., may need 2 layers. Don't over apply and leave the "crying" marks. Need to prepare some "tins", brushes( correct size in inch), tarpintime(spelling ?), used cloth, newpapers, tap, very "troublesome"- a way to test patience and skill. I've done that before
  2. Since young till now, I don't to cook, always got "somebody" to cook for me, good life leh. MIL is staying with me & does all the cookings, she also insisted on 3-burners, I even asked why, here was here reply: 4 too obstructing, 2 too little, 3- one for spare for just in case, one for boiling water another for frying with wok. She has strong concept on "spare" - Kitchen has many "spares", tiolet rolls, canned food, bowl, plates, choppstick, bloom, plastic bags......Wife kena influenced like to keep spare cash, especially those emptied "Ang Bao", in term of few hundres......lol
  3. Kalimantan, nice to hear from u again. Just caurious, u got anything to do with indonesia? I'm 46, faced the same job-change situation 7 yrs ago. I was a deparmental head, dealing with technical service covering S.E.A, 7-men team, under great pressure- PR, politic,revenue, time, resources, org culture/beh, top management change...etc, mental stress particularly. 13 yr there. I did not send out a single job application letter, but sent sos "signals" to local suppliers, along the way, some "opportunities" came, I deemed not attractive, until my present boss called me personally, I jumped ship, out the "bitter sea". Have been onboard 7 yrs, experiencing some "ripples" only, major H/L tides yet to come - I foresee. Besides wishing u all the best, pls build long term relationship with a specific fsm.......only "good", no "bad" to you.
  4. Actually, from a broader perspective, FS coverage is very wide, everything, as long as there are "living things". The so called "non-believebers" actually also apply FS principles. FS studies "survival". Or put it bluntly the other way round, those non-survived is because fs no good. "2-burner" hob still survive, cos the society supports the demand. Society supports "one husband one wife" system. Of cource, there is always some minority wants shortcut & loopholes.........Wife/husband relationship broke....many reasons lah.
  5. Care to enlighten me what's wrong for christians to believe in FS? (Pardon me for side track, I've been trying not to touch on religion matter in this forum) Chinese's star constalletions, the most basic ones have 3 Enclosures (三垣 ) = Purple Forbidden enclosure (紫微垣), Supreme Palace enclosure (太微垣), Heavenly Market enclosure (天市垣) and 28 Mansions (二十八宿) = East: Azure Dragon (青龍): Horn (角), Neck (亢), Root (氐), Room (房), Heart (心), Tail (尾), Winnowing Basket (箕),South: Vermilion Bird (朱雀): Well (井), Ghost (鬼) , Willow (柳), Star (星), Extended Net (張), Wings (翼) | Chariot (軫),West: White Tiger (白虎): Legs (奎), Bond (婁), Stomach (胃), Hairy Head (昴), Net (畢), Turtle Beak (觜), Three Stars (參),North: Black Tortoise (玄武): Dipper (斗) , Ox (牛), Girl (女), Emptiness (虛), Rooftop (危), Encampment (室), Wall (壁), not to mention other 300 ++ Do you know HOW these names come about? All from ancient "legends"! At nights, when you look upon the sky, you can see many "roads" which have names after these "roads"! All these not my stories, all recorded in books! The northern hemispere sky covers by 3 greats WALLS, east with azure dragon, west with white tiger, south with vermillion bird and north with black tortoise !All recorded in books! Btw, christianity is originated from present's middle east, took Moses 40 yrs to walk israelis to promised land, destroyed, rebuilt, and destroyed....till 1948 Republic of israel is then recorganised & established! Long story....we should debate after you read up the history..
  6. Bro, This great topic actually affects our daily life. The Chinese calendar is actually not a "lunar calender", but a combination of "solar " & "lunar" and the correct term should be "lunisolar calender". There has been some errors in the past chinese calendar calculation and gone through a few "reforms". The latest reform was in 1645 by a German Jesuit (All chinese should feel "paisay"), however, he was thrown to jail and later be executed, due to political reason (another shamful chapter in chinese history!)Anyway, the present chinese calender is the most "accurate" calendar in sun/earth/moon positioning, seasons, and many others, among other calendars. A "leap" month is inserted every 2 to 3 year into the calendar for "compensations"- the calculation & insertion into which month is complex. I attached a NUS web link, on this. This is a very informative web on this, somemore in Singapore. So far I could not find a book on star constalletion (observation, etc) location based in Singapore (cos different lat & longt of location will "affect" the way the stars in the sky display! This "angmor"'s wife is a chinese, and he has many chinese students, some of the writeup contain chinese characters, very meaningful, hope this is the "gateway" for you to understand the "stars' world". Be patient, some text need to read a few round before one could really comprehen. That is project by his student on why/how leap month inserted, very useful, especially to understand the 10 stems & 12 branches, the "60" cycles concept . http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/calend...inese.shtml#Why
  7. Study the leaking pattern, likely from wall. I glued an alu bar outside the wall, right above the window panels...
  8. Difficult to answer yr question: Allow me to out of you question first. Abt reading, I adopted the Greek Philosopher, Plato's 20%:80%, only 20% worth reading, 80% are "rubbish", in an organisation, 20% are contributing, 80% are "decorative".....so, must develope the identification skill to tell quickly which is 20%, and 80% such that you could concentrate more on the 20%....I've vast interests in many areas, many hobbies, very 'seow" and go into details of an area, after knowing then quit. Have been member of hydroponic dept of ngeeann poly, grew different plants with pipes & pumps at homechai...grew cactus hydroponic way, N,P,K solutions ph & conductivity meters, ordered book from UK, wife made noise....everything threw away. Fishing, onshore/offshore, baits type for what fish, tides, weather, different node tying, been to all round singapore's beaches, jetties, islands. Kits in storeroom. RC planes, spent much time outdoor flying and indoor repairing, bought many "ting ting" and "tong tong", subscribe to magazine...now on & off still flying. Due to work, have travelled to Maly, phillip, Vn, Thail, China, HK, Taiw,Korea, Japan, NewZ, Aust, KSA, Dubai, Barian, Eqt, Braz, Germ, Fran....now very scare to planes, always check in early ask for back row, aisle seat. Some records worth mention here: - 26hr never lay on bed - Stuck 26 days at KSA, almost need to renew visa - Interrogated by airport staff inside room twice - thailand & korea - Showering using rainwater in Phillip - 3 days never bath in korea, cold to death - Admitted to hospital in korea, accident, loss conscience - Climb up bilding, tainan, TSMC, equi to HDB 50 storey, with toolpack - mised flight(from eqy to KSA), big jam by donkeys on road.. OK back: instead breakdown by books, I breakdown by "areas" so you have an general idea, cos fs covers very wide areas...I dare to say, everything: 1. YinYang concept 2. Wu Xing or 5-element (generating & overcoming interacting)concept, learn to classify those "non-living" into which element 3. Geomancy, or book related to house/building structures (for northern hemisphere), forget about bks by NZ & Aust. 4. Sun/Earth/Moon/stars movement, chinese calendar...northern hemisphere star constalletion.. 5. Chinese history, brief one, BC to AC, emperors, the beliefs, legancies, rituals..... 6. TCM theory, might take you quite a while, anyway- main ideas to understand the how 5-element apply to body and relationship. 7. "Chi"- definitions, areas applied, taoism's "chi". Found angmor's translation of chi as "flow of energy" not good enough... 8. Allow yourself to observe & apply rules/principle learnt on & off to stay these skills in brain.
  9. Auntie, If your friend's theory holds true, I can tell you the "2 burners" hob must have been extinguished years ago, or such manufacturers must have been put to jail & executed by lady judges.
  10. Slightly more advance than you: 15B & 13G. I kept remember wrongly her as 11, as mentioned in some posts.
  11. I think likewise. I was also explained about abt this clause(that was why I later explained to my wife that I increased another 20K on top of my original target price, to safeguard -both side got their "protection")The amount was put down in the contract.
  12. - My 2 experiences of signing excl agm to sell were due to facts that I have little time to entertain so many ppl, and believed by committing to give higher comm, would encourage agent to work harder by bringing in more potentio buyers.....that's all. - Off cource, selecting good agent is another "tough" process. - For buying, I did/do my own "striking", I believe my own judgement, no regrets even make mistake - anyway, take one quite some time to learn to "take" and "put down" with no regrets.
  13. Wow piang, suggest u to write another termination letter, make clear the reference numbers, dates, etc and sent via register post or by Hand. Sure, owner has right to "one-way" terminate agreement(anyway, 3 month only)"temporary" even possesed evidences that agent acts aginst owner's interest & break any common law...., take time for "investigation"....then verdict..too much resources waste lah. - So long as you did not sign on the OTP, then safe. OTP is to be signed "on the spot" by seller, to buyer when buyer gives $1k for seller's granting of OTP......
  14. Hi Ah Lian = lotus, Care to tell how many kids you have? Their ages? Yes, some parents are "too much", like to grasp as many "fish flesh" as they could though they can't consume all, let only "bone" to others,sigh- wondering how/what their kids would be when grown up. - hopefully the kids eat "flesh", leave "bone" to their own parents. Kiasu is a driving force, pushes ppl to excel, offcourse must apply correctly. Take all "flesh leave only bone, yet can't finish fresh" ---All human or mankind wants as many resources as the could, the ways and means of getting the resources, Singaporeans yet to learn from Amercians, actually is half the way---through legal means. Got own money don't want to use keep using ppl's money? Kiasi is a retracting force, typically chinese. Saw=no see, dare not to stand up as "hero". History tells "hero" die "fast" and "first". They prefer to stay behind scene and watch till the right timing get all the credit....My wife has many times stopped me from being a "Hero". But my "hero" blood is flowing through all my body.
  15. You are safe! See pt 3. 1. Your serving of "letter for termination" was too late. You should have served the letter, 2 weeks before 14 June (this is called "in advance"). Exclusive agreement "automatically" renews every 3 months, so your letter is actually to terminate the agreement as on end of 14 Sept 2010. Be careful the phrase "in advance" in many doc, especially bankloan, once missed, need to wait.... 2. R is the "mentor", S is the disciple/learner. 3. R/S "accepted" the offer on your behave, but without giving the offerer OTP! - 2 things done wrong by agent: - Agent has not final discretion to accept any offer. - How can he accepted the cheque without giving OTP to buyer? - Against the rule ! 4. You just need to wait till 14 Sept, then start selling again. Any transaction before this date, whether by his efforts or not at all, the commission still need to go to him, legally. I have 2 experiences in selling houses via exclusive agreement, all swee swee. The first case I did not meet the buyer until 2nd appointment. Second case, I even invited the agents(buyer & seller) and buyer to my new place(not house warming).
  16. Keen to know what you want to suck out. Basically ventilation needs basic calculation: 1. Room's volume in m3 2. Air speed in m3/hr So you will know "how fast" for air exchange. Don't make "short circulation" of air. Most fans' life span is 37,000hr if switch on 24hr a day.
  17. This is Grandfather vs Grandmother case. Both says they are right, however, timing tells: -He does not accept the termination?? Look like the sale ($1k otp fee date) transacted within this "2 weeks" period. If so, yr agent is right. -Offer alone does not constitute to a binding contract, need also "acceptance" & "consideration" to form a legal contract. As owner you have ABSOLUTE and FINAL right to reject any offer. - Simply ask that "keen" buyer to hold till exclusive contract expires then put the 1K with you, then everything swee swee. Sound simple ? Seem simple & straight forward to forumers, but what exactly is holding you back? Can elaborate more in details? Especially with respect to timings.
  18. Just KP. - OK, swee swee for the 2 dividers. - Kitchen door?, sliding door opposite yr daughter's door?2 tiolets' doors, all 3 doors straight? sliding? - Seem got half ht glass between dinning table & kitchen - Got 1 planter & 2 balcony(door?)
  19. Thanks, very enlightening, another chapter to learn.
  20. Precisely, otherwise get "choked" easily.
  21. You are a quick leaner indeed ! FS theories signify a home as a human body, need yin-yang & 5 elements, to be balanced...., now i know why yr unit is "windy" -28th floor! no blockage. Just for info, "too windy in stomach"- also no good, no appetite to eat. Translate to fs: "chi" cannot stay/hold/retain, very deep hor!
  22. Thank. Bopiah, age catching up, mind & hands cannot synchronised. Sometime thing to look for just sits in front, and yet looking up & down for it, sigh.
  23. Still say engineering trained, get caught now, not hit the target. My answer to your question is: not move, but to get another one. Flemigo is my first strike. Though agent called a few times for waterfront gold, have not gone there yet. The answer I expect from you : top sign any date after mop expires
  24. Thanks for the reply. 家和万事欣
