  1. No flowers seller condemns flowers he sells. Sword seller says his sword can poke through all shields. Meanwhile, he says his shield the best - no swords can poke through. Only he knows which is which and what is what. Reality: he needs to make a living, you want to save some $ Show hand to him, take it or leave it. You are at upper hand at 'this moment'. After got your deal, he will be in 'upper hand' - manipulate quality to take back that discounted 10%. Win-win. Allow no quote items could be 'anything and everything'. Item 19 - ask him to amend 'solid surface worktop'- 14ft , to ' Indian galaxy granite top'- 14ft with same price. He will F u and go fly kite. You now can F him for what is 'solid surface worktop', pen material down. He then knows you know something that he can't laught within. Watch out item 6 & 7. Why 'overlay' - intend to stay 3-5 yrs? Contractor these days like 'short cut', 'clean job', 'quick buck' - hack care what happen 3-5 years later. My advise: Hack old, replace with new, if intend to stay long. Re-enforce waterproofing at floor-trap areas.
  2. For mentioned sliding window pricing, I agar agar is rather 'reasonable'. My 'casement' window - expoxy paint, per piece at SGD200. 5 rm, total 25 pcs = SGD5,000. Children grown up, so I done no 'normal grille' - only 2 solid bars across per window frame from left to right. So I can enjoy the tokong panoramic views.
  3. This thread creates me sentiment of "“We kill all the caterpillars, then complain there are no butterflies.”
  4. Life is cruel & full of waves and tides. Cooling measures are artificial waves. Gov prefers 'to be in control' by applying artificial waves before real waves come which gov can't control. High tide all boats rise. Low tide all ugly things surface. Real tide and waves yet to come. Tide down, financial institutions switch off '$ taps' super fast make tide lower. All credit rating agencies 'suddenly' start to work - bond/notes 'AAA' becomes 'CCC' within a night. $ printing machine start working again..QE3 tapering & debt ceiling ... So, see-saw, up and down.....
  5. 'Popularity' comes hand in hand with costs. Beauties needs SKII, Loreal, Dior, Chanel, kose....to 'anti-age'. “Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, so dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.” - Mr. Robert F
  6. Reasonable. However, exercise your negotiation skills and 'upper hand' power to cut further 10% as a whole. Watch out for material 'downgrading' aft 10% cut......you know i know.
  7. A see-saw game. You go up and I come down......You come down & I go up. This is life. Questions: Get a roof or house FIRST? WHEN to start? Answers: -Roof is a need, car is a want. -Roof appreciates (it is an investment!), car depreciates over time (It is an expense item). -Both are 'biting the bullet' actions. Car shiok - zoom here and zoom there- pocket a big hole. -SIngapore has no capital gain taxation -By abt 45-50yo, should have a 'roof' fully redeemed, whether 3,4 ,5 rm or private. -Sit down, do homework quick. Side track. 4 asset classes theory, start as early as possible: - Cash - for rainy days - Insurance - expect the unexpected, investment. - Property - enjoying shaded scene while watching rain falls and sun rises and sets. Rental income. - Stock/equity - dividend yield and capital gain yield. Need knowledge, skill... start as young as possible....
  8. Alibaba ebay Home a cook house? Need trip all eletrical pts (naked spark)when gas detected? Detector for 'display' only? If for 'figure display' purposes, might install the following device to show professionalism: - Temperature - RH - Air flow - infra red heat image - Air movement sensor - Magnetic flux sensor - Optical/sound - Finge print scanner .....knowledge is the limit. Wants or needs?
  9. Adam Smith said the 'invisible hand' - market forces balance the supply and demand. He also acknowledged the government intervention could artificially disturb the 'real picture of demand and supply'. Question is 'how long' can such being artificially manipulated for the general public good? Almost some 13 or 15 rounds of 'cooling measures' over period of 2 yrs then observe the 'down' trend. Medicine takes time to work. Once healthy, will chiong again. I agar agar in another 3-5 yrs.
  10. Everything has its 'cycles'. Up then down then up....disappear, new things come.... Nothing new under the sun.
  11. Rubbish and nonsense.GIGO. Pls spend some efforts reading and understanding "二十八宿" (182 stars, N-35, E-32, S-64, W-51) & "黄道十二宫" (命宫, 财帛宫, 兄弟宫, 田宅宫, 子女宫, 奴仆宫, 婚姻宫, 疾厄宫, 迁移宫, 官禄宫, 福德宫, 玄秘宫).U would know how the original sense (meaning) of 'aspicious/inaspicious' being come about. It involved happenings of events in Chinese history that 'kekian' masters linked such event happenings to movement of 'star constellation' over the heads at that point of time. Stars movement was subjectively being interpreted as ways of Haven reveals its Wills to mankinds. How did these 'kekian' masters derive at this conclusion, - fears of Nature Power, human power struggle/manipulaion are main causes (its effects??, wonderful!), I believed. 12 月22 日——1 月5 日牛宿 1 月6 日——1 月19 日女宿 1 月20 日——1 月29 日虚宿 1 月30 日——2 月8 日危宿 2 月9 日——2 月18 日室宿 2 月19 日——3 月5 日壁宿 3 月6 日——3 月20 日奎宿 3 月21 日——4 月4 日娄宿 4 月5 日——4 月30 日昴宿 5 月1 日——5 月10 日毕宿 5 月11 日——5 月20 日觜宿 5 月21 日——6 月5 日参宿 6 月6 日——6 月21 日井宿 6 月22 日——7 月7 日鬼宿 7 月8 日——7 月22 日柳宿 7 月23 日——8 月1 日星宿 8 月2 日——8 月11 日张宿 8 月12 日——8 月22 日翼宿 8 月23 日——8 月26 日轸宿 8 月27 日——9 月22 日角宿 9 月23 日——10 月7 日亢宿 10 月8 日——10 月23 日氐宿 10 月24 日——11 月2 日房宿 11 月3 日——11 月12 日心宿 11 月13 日——11 月22 日尾宿 11 月23 日——12 月7 日箕宿 12 月8 日——12 月21 日斗宿 Via past kekian masters' observations, today (8/3/14), the '奎宿' is the 1st of the total 7宿 of 'WESTERN WHITE TIGER', would be observed during the sun rise at EAST direction, for northernphere countries. When the earth reaches this point of time in relation to position of the 182 stars, the 'EARTH' - refer to CHINA only ??? or whole earth??, was defined as "文昌盛世". Notes: Past events happened in 'China' territory, but how can the 'whole earth' be co-related?? These kekian masters sure failed industrial engineering. Look at Ukraine, MH370, S.E.A haze, heat spell, China mog, ......"文昌盛世"???haha No 'predefined' 'auspicious" yy/mm/dd/hh/mm/ss! for any single event! My arguments. If FSM tell me he can calculate 'auspicious' time for certain event: 1. Would ask him to 'reserve' such calculation for himself. 2. Or, sign a commercial agreement for breach of fundamental terms, for assurance. 3. Advise him to setup an 'alibaba fs web' - sell everything and anything! Sure HUAT!
  12. In my context, FSM is one with 'role function' indifferent from TCM, western doctor... The latter 2 concern illness/disease/health...... The first, carry multiples hats, sky is the only limit. FSMs, basically, do "anything and everything'. Super "entrepreneurial" than any trade. DIAGNOSIS is always the first process to 'problems/issues' tackling. TCM applies 望,闻,问,切 during 'face-to-face' DIAGNOSTIC process. Western doct 'ASK' and patient 'TELL' symptoms. Not conclusive? Then sample collection for tests...poo poo and shi shi...at last complex 'machines' come in, if needed..... FS? High education system these days bring about patients ask doctors for medicines. Patients are doctors. Looking at floor plan alone then give FS 'advises' = applying 'Selective Attention Philosophy'= Doctors give what patient WANTS, not NEEDs. You happy i happy - at that particular point of time. What follow, after some time, need not me to tell. This forum tells. Restaurant and kitchen coexist. Simple rule: No kitchen no restaurant. Contemporary commercial marketing techniques make consumers see only nice 'restaurant' w/o dirty 'kitchen'. Consumers these days choose to believe 'restaurant' is strength! Kitchen is S H I T! Why? Wireless world made them believe more in 'wireless rocket technology', that 'step-by-step ladder climbing technology' is a waste of time. Monkeys see monkeys do! Law of nature (human): ppls look "around" and "UP", and perform (behaviour) about the same 'pace' to get mass recognition - human blend-in = herding.
  13. Lay yourself no need, if no one complaint. The lift swee swee, floor clean clean, etc. If by contractor, he sure advise to get one.
  14. Son of 'son of travelling dragon' yet to master how to 'travel over the cloud' smoothly w/o jerk. Consumers are paying him $ mastering this skill! Once mastered, can carry consumers to where consumers wish to go! See the point?
  15. An extract: Kan Yu is the proper term of Feng Shui. Kan means the theory of cosmology and Yu means the theory of terrestrial (Shen, Xu). To be precise, they refer to the theory of time and location in the Chinese history. Yu here also means the earth. Another explanation of these two words (Jun-Sheng, Shu) is Kan means high land and Yu means depression. The basic principle of Kan Yu is to identify the loci of Qi flow on and under the ground and also compute the strength of Qi in term of time. Qi is an abstract term to represent an intangible current at which vegetation growth well, the macro or micro-climate is stable and human being live happily. The THEORY claims that no matter life or death located at a point of concentrated Qi will receive the good influence of Qi. Di Li (geography)is another ancient term to describe Kan Yu. In Yi Jing, The Classic of Change, say "looking up to have the vision of astrology, looking down to understand Di Li". However, in ancient time Di Li is not equal to modern geography. A westerner, Chatley (Ren- Kui. Li), tried to define Di Li as " an art to find the best location of life and death in order to harmonize with the cosmic breath". However, this term is not recommended to represent Kan Yu because of missing in astrological and timing elements in Kan Yu theory. So, I argue that: Mathermatical expression: Beneficial result of things = result of good collection of qi = summation of parameters = A +B+C+D+.... Building divider to collect qi? This is simply a 'superficial action' of doing something without understanding its real intend = herding effect of today's "FS" = catch wind & chase shadow.
  16. Bad CSM skills doesn't mean 'bo chun'. Good CSM skills usually come with very 'slippery' service - everything 'no problem' and 'can'. Lagi 'bo chun'. Why give $ to ppls to practice their CSM skills?
  17. 1. Forget about qi. 2. No point catching wind and chasing after shadow. 3. Farming and hunting money are more practical. 4. Once retain enough money, you wouldn't bother about qi. 5. Cos, by then, you naturally understand what is qi. 6. Once comprehend, you'll 'forget' it.
  18. interesting, innovative, creative thread/article. My wild wild guess most ppls most likely keen to know how not to get conception in 'fengshui way' as well My immediate random memory access, after reading e article, triggers me of e article content is kind of 'wolf putting on sheep fur' analogy. Critical thinking asks myself : fsm attempts to eat medical pie? Or another 'valid' option for those failed 'medical way', besides the 1st 'knowledge way' of getting conceived.
  19. Why put web power aside? You can shop at home on bed at anytime with fingers, don't have to walk under the sun or rain. You can have any options to your want. Example" http://natureco.com.sg/landscapes/water-features-in-store/ $300 can buy u only a 'plastic toy WF' with 1m x Dia 0.40m dimensions this day, so sorry to say. Try 'imagine' the cost of goods -genuine stone or artificial stone? - material costs with pump, installation cost (labour), transport cost + $ makeup Remember, maintenance is a real real & big big issue.
  20. FIL is staying alone in 1rm flat. His neighbour, few units away, same floor, has been illegally renting out rm to some China national. Everything peaceful, everyone seals the lips. Lately, FIL received Starhub & POSB letters with this neighbour's names (husband & wife) They were quick to act, initially, they asked FIL: 'Uncle, got received my letters?'. FIL was 'reminded' to return the same in future. Good neighbour spirit keeps him returning some to them till recently he revealed such to me & wife. 2 wks ago, I asked him open POSB and Starhub letter. OMG, 19k transactions within a month, some $500 in/out within a days! Why use FIL's address for this? Why POSB/telco allow these D A M things w/o POA So, we did '15', since neighbour did '01'. B4 troubles trouble us, we make trouble first- made police record with letters & trip to POSB spoke to 'high ranking officer' addressing our concerns - ensure proper-control addressee system to be put in place! Don't anyhow base on account holder's WOM on address without written POA in sight! SPF's 'big 9' asked us to register 'concerns' with ICA (MHA). Remember Orchard Rd's floodings, one by one? God listened & acted to outcries? Must wait for God to act on address issuess? So difficult meh?
  21. u're right Ppls wish to be in 'better' position, always Magic, 'luck' then miracle - short cut, as short as possible FS is not magic nor miracle. It relates to theory of cosmology and terrestral Again, curing sickness needs right medicine Medicine always takes time to work.
  22. Are you a hunter or farmer? My take: - Small hunting(fm nothing), keeping and growing like farmer, keep hunting - 'Anntenna' pull long long, responsive & adaptive to environmental changes - like who stole my cheese - Hunt and farm in full swing, don't get injured! What Muffin posts is more of 'farming' strategies - no hunting where got 'seeds' to plant? Hunting/farming need knowledge & skills, or 'luck'? What is luck? Sit and wait? I always say 'luck' happens only when preparation meet an opportunity One needs to know what opportunity he/she sought after then do preparation accordingly, then 'luck' will appear Sound simple? Indeed it is simple Don't need to read what 'forecast'.....waste yr time/energy/resources
  23. Fundamentally the same intent - blend well with environments, survival, growth, sustainability for generations. Need change, change, change....
