Extreme Makeover @ Pandan Gardens
Good to experience "killing fields" when young which grows confidenc for all trades later on. Bitter then come sweet. Did not follow yr blog closely. I've been to Sembawang, Keppel SYs, once "sunset" industries have become "sun rise", almost all oil refineries in Jurong island, shell bukom.....offshore platforms. Attended disaster control courses. Witnessed a few major industries accidents. Quick ones: - Good habits need to be cultivated when young. The 3 darlings seem....??Wash cloth, mopping, cleaning, boiling water...??? - Water dispenser is convenience, for long term, beware of "stones" in body. - Over attention to "directions" add unecessary mental stress.

Wow lau, water in Singapore river where got choppy in olden days? Only "slightly" dirtier than now. With all the bump boats around, I even swam in the river a few times! Some lau ah Hia also swam there. My wife just lived along the rive at Ellenborought street, Blk 3. Merlion gave way to Esplanade bridge. Now kena blocked by Bayfront bridge and the giant overhead bridge (ECP) and Marina bridge. I say, it should be shifted to somewhere near Marina bridge, facing the sea.

1. Big pass-through area, to "eat" ppls. 2. When heavy lightning storm, this building surely safer than the rest around. 3. Building very lonely, looking into sky and 我问天! However, 天不答,地不应。 4. Kena corner oneside still survive, proof religion is power? Look at the one(Yueh Hai Ching Temple) at junction of Phillip st & Church st, same same.

Why give up near to catch the far ones? Money is not the problem, problem is "too far to be reached". Look at Singaporeans' such investment over China, Malaysia, Thailand, can tell from paper. Either build half way stop, or kena breakin,etc.

Blood Bath @ Sti
What I meant was technical analysis like STI index, moving average, oversell, overbought, etc etc, were purely "technical". What the mkt will turn up to be the next day/next week depend on too many ever changing factors which human can't predict or even control.

Where And What To Invest If You Have 100k?
Best is a freehold "shoebox" at "excellence" loacation. Niece & her husband would be got a hdb resale 4 rm as well as a 1rm FH pte at Holland rd for rental. Fix deposit = timed deposit. Convert SGD into Aus $ and put in the account for certain time (timed deposit, 3, 6, 9, 12 months etc). Different amount of deposit earn different interes rate. Bear in mind the risks of conversion loss (banks sell high, buy back low), as well as the exchange rate loss/gain over time. As long as you have holding power, can consider. Aus $ is now in its highest, not advisable to buy. Can consider NZD, now quite low. See past 5-10 historical data. http://www.uob.com.sg/personal/deposits/fi...urrency_fd.html

Where And What To Invest If You Have 100k?
Public listed shares, DBS, UOB, OCBC,etc etc in singapore stock exchange. Buy, keep, sell though broking firms. Must have CDP account, stocking firm account, best with bank account, so receive & transfer $$$ is just a button away. Need no signing cheque, posting, etc etc.. http://www.sgx.com/wps/portal/marketplace/...EvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/

Current Payment Practice For Buying A Pte Resale
14 Jan 2011 new rules, maximum 70% with no current loan, 60% with one or more loan. Read this. http://www.news.gov.sg/public/sgpc/en/medi...s%20release.pdf Corrections: 1. Has only 14 days to exercise OTP. Meaning has 14 days to settle valuation + loan amount approval. 2. Start from OTP exercise date, within 14 days must pay stamp duty fee, cash first, can "redeem" from cpf later. 3. Remaining 20% (cash or cpf)(10% +20%+70%)to be paid "upon completion". Bear in mind, cpf usually takes 2 weeks to process. Pte banks to lawyer usually 3 days. Meaning that seller must be able to get 90% (70% from bank loan, 20% from cash/cpf) upon completion date. 4. There are some misc fees as well, ie maintenance fee, property tax,...etc, etc must be paid upon completion. Otherwise "completion" can not be completed.
