Aiyo, by "words of mouth" + "practice makes perfect" - that was my childhood times, learnt & never forget. Now ? black & white+ color manual(handbook better), video presentation, & classroom "workshop"...sign, don't know now our dear NS Men can "catch" a lizard live or not.

Goes to DIY store, buy the spirit-based pen (many color to choose from, with metal inside, need to shake before use), do touch-up on the edges. Use a ruler to guide the pen...

HSL, can sleep in peace..zzzzzzz

Red Kitty, 1. You must have been "conned" by agent on the submission date: He can only submit resale application for the THREE parties at one go. 2. Question is if u were informed of yr existing seller's intention to buy resale by contra when you paid the deposit? Or at which pt of time you noticed such? 3. Since comm agreement has been signed , u need to pay, pay not before 2nd appointment. 4. Don't too happy yet, you don't know what will happen on 1st appt, any one of the 3 parties "forgot" to bring needed doc, or like home titl deed "lost", then, very good luck to you, the whole transaction, come to worst, might be "voided", if needed doc cannot be re-produced in time and the 2nd appt cannot be done 8 wk after the original 1st appt (although doc did not bring...). 5. I guess, HDB pays "special" attention to cases like this (lost doc), & make sure COMPLETION done within 8wk after 1st appt. My case was like yours, 3 parties involved, one party "misplaced" title deed and dared to appear on 1st appt & told hdb officer such, waiting all parties' time! Pls note, cpf board take "3 weeks" for forms to be "effective". Can use this as "tool" to "play" the other parties out, make their necks longer.

To make/DIY: Lian Hin, 263 Jalan Besar, tel: 62946801. They sell stones, especially Granite & Marble. Measure & make, can cut holes here & there, many nice "edge patterns" to choose from. Tell them your measurements, they will cut and you have to DIY. Granite is much better than marble. Marble's surface will look "dull" and non reflective after sometimes cos of "compressed minerals" . Granite is much harden, almost anti-scatches. My Kitchen's top get from there. (Galaxy....) To buy loose & "assemble"/DIY: Try PolyArt marble at 284-286 Changi Road, tel : 64474026. Those old coffee shop marble tables... May I know the reason for DIY? Birthday present? Want to "make" something sentimental where money cannot buy?

Want to make or buy whole (top + support + chair/stool)?

Buy a house of 500K is cheap, duplicate a key at $6 is super expensive? $3 a bowl of mee in coffee shop is expensive, $12 for the same at restaurant is cheap? I think this world is up side down for thing like these.

Wife & MIL see lizards as if "big enemy". Once spotted, this lizard sure die, no way to escape. - Spray bygone until lizard blurr blurr, fold up used news papers & www - Hide at small corner, then pour hot water.... - In kunpong time, I used to catch lizards with a coconut-leave stick, one end tie a movable knot, then slowly move the knot to front and talak, wow...long time never use this skill already. Very effective method to catch not to deter.

All are the same, look for "branded" for duriability. Worth to spendthe money, otherwise, makes one like monkey keep climb up & down for replacement.

Induction cook is efficient, good for "open-concept" kitchen, even good for the "steam boat". Problems are must use "metalic" pan, or container, no ceremic, no clay, no SAN....Heat dissipation is a great consideration for those "built-in" induction hob. Power = Voltage x current x cosQ. Portable ones, usually at 2000W, so 2000=230 x I x 0.8, I = 10.86Aac. 13A outlet is sufficient. Many hostel student like this, Philips Singapore has some models ( I think, 3 or 4), at various wattage, can drop in to the showroom at Toa Payoh Lorong 1 and look see look see. In first post mentioned , "30A" at single phase 230V, means 5520watts. Crazy, want to burn your house? These are for restaurants' chef, some more need forced cooling at bottom, otherwise, electronic components cooked first before food are cooked.

Want to make "pull-push-cart" with 4 castors? Might as well get a "taiwan brand" collaspsible trolley, 120kg capacitory, at abt $80. Remember to put reinforement bars at sides if the platform area is large. I'm a "handon" man. I even built RC planes, with my own design(airfoil), using balsa wood.

Vinegar is acidic, have chemical reaction with cement at those gaps. Mop floor everyday with diluted detto. Forced windy, make air moves, reduce humidity will make less fine condensation on floor.

Kitchener road, diagonally behind the coffee shop which used to sell laksa by spoon(now also one stall selling laksa use spoon only but not the "original". "Original" moved to another cofee shop abt 200meter away. Whole row of shops there.

Keep using thinner to clean a few more round, make sure don't mix thinner with water. Use dry cloth, after cleaning, throw away

I doubt so. Seldom touch kitchen stuff, my MIL's territory, sorry lah can't really remember. Unit sold in Sept 09. TOP 2006. ABS material usage in capentry is quite recently (~ 2 years). My present sliding wardrobes also partial using ABS sheet, instead of "laminate". Personally, I prefer Alu. for the trimming, hard & solid, though the color a bit dull. Next, my kitchen top is solid black granite "glaxy... don't know what", 16ft, cost me almost $1,500.

Mosquito plant cannot "repel" mosquito. Lemon trees do, because of the strong smell of the leaves & flowers. Lemon tree attract butterfly also. Imagine, 13th floor, butterfly also can "detect" the smell, lay egg, .....

Nowadays, ppl like "quick fix", keep mentioning "efficiency" and provide lots of "lip service" and not "effectiveness". These ppls like to do things first & correct later, without realising the truth of doing the "right thing right at first try".

All sports are dangerous: - Badminton, halfway, stroke, die - Football, halfway, in the field, raining, lightning strike, die. - Ruby, kena knock by ppl, comma, few day later die - Swimming, over-estimate oneself, drown to death - Cycling, kena knock by vehicle behind, flied & fell and run over, die - RC plane, kena knock by own nitro-powered plane, also die So on so for, ALL DANGEROUS

Just for knowledge. ABS stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is a kind of "plastic", rather "fragile" if thickness more than 2mm, will "crack" easily and color tone will change if subject to prolong heat & UV light..Some "pcv" pipe is actually PP material, some flexibililty, those bigger pipe use ABS material. For long run, Alu is better.

My parents' unit got afternoon sun, I understand the "effects". Bite one, I never buy an unit subject to afternoon sun. - The brick wall is so hot, take few hours to cool down, even at mid-night, the wall still hot. Hall & room kena the sunlight radiation. - Only solution is to "isolate" the suhlight from reaching the brick wall (clading or wall-plant to cover the whole wall) HDB is studying this. - Another "compromised" to have "isolation layer" in between the outside & inside wall, but ... reduced strength. - Reduced "brick wall" as much as possible, replaced with glass, especially those "sound-proof" glass. - btw, after talking so much, the most practical way is to put curtain & adapt to the heat.....

1. Are you sure the relocation of incoming "ELCB cum switches/fuses" made by contractor is permanent? If yes, meaning quite many power cables(power pt, lighting..) already re-wired. Or relocation is just temporary? Very interesting. 2. Must know the reason of relocation such, ie: old location obstruct something, or the incoming 3 phase/1phase power cables riser somehow "modified" after TOP. It is right to ask lawyer to get an answer. 3. Your bought the unit which was "unsold for years" by developer? 4. PM you the contact details for a PE friend for years.

Observed the cracks whether is "top down", "bottom up", or "left right, right left". "Top down" or "Bottom up" cracks easlier to handle. - "verticle" cracks - Best way is to "enlarge" the crack, make surrounding wall (say 1 ft from crack) rought using punch, "enlarged cracks" filled with hard cement, wait dry, whole area (1 ft from crack) apply plaster, wait dry, sand surface to same as other walls. Paint over the whole wall. If just fill cracks with plaster & paint over - you will see the "repair marking" obviously. By doing this, or just paint over the cracks, the cracks will surface within months. -"Horizontal" cracks - more serious, the "contraction force" is great. Make sure the "upper" part of wall drops down not! Same method as above for repair, MUST wait dry before re-painting. Give them time, if not, you will spend more time. Do not tell me HOW to repair, an insult to their professionalism!, let them do, not to your satisfactory, ask them back again until one day..hold their money...my story: - observed both V & H crack, similar to yr situations, after reno. I let cracks further till the ceramic tiles(on wall) also cracks. -They came, fill up, repainted & go. Cracks comes again. Calls again. - Told repair man my idea as above kena answered back like insulting to them. - They came 3 times already, cracks still there. - Wait until one day, I get work up get other party to repair & backcharged them. Anyway, I'm holding back $10K+ Note: I repaired the cracks myself previously(now old already & don't feel like to hand on), the above method work, I have tried many method in facts.

IRAS is paying attention to one who RECEIVEs Angbao, not the one who give Angbao. You are safe, fsm not safe if he does not declare this in his personal income tax, if no roc registry. If his service is based on proprietary entity, is quite alright - accountant hard to check. If he acts on behalf of a pte ltd, needs to issue a receipt as proof of service provided.

Thank for replying, solid & granite, remark "FULL" & "NATURAL". With all my best wishes.

Where got one-stop registration, must "promote" yourself. Registration come with price-some agents start calling you on & off, be prepared.
