Legs on coffee table stuff was before having children, otherwise set bad example Hot drink must be finished while it is still hot... Once you have kid/s, you'll not put hot coffee/tea on coffee table- once shake, liquid spill over.... and you'll either "protect" sharp corners with "protectors", or repeat lesson like BK888 did. Those furmitures at ikea & Scantek have 90 deg sharp corners. I gave up on Scantek's teak funitures for these corners. I purposely have heavy dinning table with big legs, accidentally shake or knock, liquid will not spill over... Side track a bit for dinning space, I'm very particular about this, I prefer to have a comfortable and big enough space while dinning...I've excused myself with "reasons" on the spot during wedding dinners a few times when i found the dinning space (tables & chairs) is out of my "comfort zone", I simply can't allow myself being "squeezed" there for a few hours, all mood spoilt liao.....Happy occassion should be enjoyed with happy mood.

Additional, best to read in chinese - got "songs in chinese" help to memorise name of stars. Beginning from 立春, one is able to observe the "green east dragon" start appearing, at abt 4am, east horizon, and move slowly upward (like sun does). You have only about 3 hrs, provided weather is clear. Also fron beginning of li chun, one is able to observe the "west white tiger", at 7pm, west horizon, and move slowly upward. Read more on star constellation, you will be able to tell..., best observe these at roof terrace near seaside....Have considered Flamingo Valley Block 460 $05-09, $1.6 mil too expensive can't afford now.

From web, look like he focuses on publishing books and conducting courses (pre-recorded video and class room) to promote fengshui and divination-related awareness and understanding which i deem such act is encouraging. Education is a process and takes time to bear fruits and most importantly such act needs "passion" and "commitment" as internal driving force to carry on. In comparision to trading of "fs items" which is purely a "buy & sell" and make "profit" process, JY's hardwork on such are most commendable whether profit is made or not. Tio bo?

Thank everyone for seeing me "up" le, feel paiseh also. We are in a very volatile mkt, at times feel tied following up latest global news....how nice just to lead a carefree life.

It lies with one's "life style choice" and his "comfort zone". Assume interest rate at 1.5%: 700k loan, mnthly instalment=$2415, monthly interest = $875 650k loan, monthly instalment =$2243, monthly interest = $812 600K loan, monthly instalment=$2070, monthly interest =$750 Answers to me are quite obvious: - If CPF OA's investment <$50k, can forget to take any action= no much difference. - If CPF OA's investment =70K(10% of 700k) or 100K, wise to do partial payment, but must see what is the amount of "loss" if quit from the investment. If do partial payment 100K, can save $125 per monthly. If the "loss" is more than 125x6=$750, I will just wait. Economic is picking up globally, give another 6 months to see. Life is always a waiting game, has holding power don't worry. Patience pays. Just for info, I've abt $220k cash "stuck" in stk mkt, I just wait. Next, thought economic is picking up & some countries started adjusted upward their domestic interest rates. Singapore's MAS prefers to letvSGD to gain "strength" in free mkt, instead of adjusting domestic interest rates to fight the inflation (or consumer price index). Singapore's gov is an "old bird" on this. China is considered relatively "young bird", keep adjusting this & that (esp property & banking) within short time frame. USA still in "ICU", economic stops/goes/stop.

Private ppty price is 17.something% whole year 2010.

Cup follows me everywhere - most time at my customised long study bench, sometime at dinning table, sometime on top of shoe cabinet (2 feet tall only) while reading newspaper on floor. Sometime read newspaper at dinning table too. Once I had a coffee table-my legs always put on top, couldn't help, very naturally.

Ah Hia & Ah Jie, Mankind's biobody resistance to dieseases attacks the lowestst during 7/11/10 to 4/2/11, highest "natural death" rate during this period(check Tue or Wed?'s Shin Ming Daily News). This associates with Sun/Earth/season. After 立春, be prepared to chiong, after Sept Equinox, be preapred to slow down and 养精蓄锐 for next round. Hope I need not to mention this again. http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/2568/24jieqi2010.jpg When resistance low, mental will be distracted & lose focus therefore complaints follow. Follow Mother Nature, understand the cause/s. Take good rest, be prepare to chiong after cny.

If financially viable, should always hold the HDB unit, as Singaporeans. You'll understand as you grow older.

Hi Mark, thanks for the clarification.

I have no coffee table till now since 老大 learn to walk. Alway have to 化钱消灾 right? If money can settle, just let it does the job. See thread "is money everything".

Guess some miscommunications somewhere. HDB has only 1 "concessionary" mortgage loan interest rate, whether it is your 1st or 2nd time application, which is always pegged at 0.1% + CPF OA's interest rate = 0.1+ 2.5 = 2.6% presently. You should have already known the rate right after you applied for HLE for resale application submission, wasn't it?? 3.82% is quite "high" as compare to prevailing available rates(fix & variable) in the market.http://smp-consulting.com.sg/smpc/?option=com_content&view=article&id=62

Sorry huh for my chatterbox, busybody, ignorance, negligence....., pls accept my apologiessss.... Once again, thank you for your gentle reminder, feel very touch, feel like crying liao

Hacking on old flooring, dismantling doors & frames. Set up raw door frames (pre-made in factory)with support of some wood (horizontal & verticle). Lay marbles, so bottom of door frame embed firmly within marble slabs. Can do otherwise, but length of verticle frames must be ensured to fit the height(sit on marble) - usually ppl make the length slightly longer & knock "force in"- you know...wall (top of door) may crack after some time due to mechanical stress differences over the area.

Cos with gst registered can claim back those goods/services that bought by the Cos. Cos without gst registration cannot charge customers gst, and have to absorbe gst paid for goods/services under Cos' name. The rich becomes richer, poor becomes poorer.

Precisely, although my command of english is not that good. Tenants consume goods or services within singapore are subject to GST.

Let me guess the reasons causing sleepless nights: - thoses were starry nights, counting stars till could not sleep. No clouds, very warm. Got saw the Venus rose from horizon at east at 3am or not? - Looked at "3 little pretty flowers" reminded of her age catching up & wrinkle over face. Old liao. - Looked at mr. handsome and mind could not be helped rewinding back the sweet past memory.

Very likely from the "kopitiam" 1 to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 8, so on so for. If got chance to see him face to face, I will clarify him, like the journalists do, ok?

Safety/noise is more of a concern if 2 "separated" bedframes to support a king size mattress. Got FS issue meh?

I seriously doubted if LKY has consulted then HC for FS issues. Merlion is sort of an icon of Singapore to "foreigners", relocation is was soly due to land reclaimation purpose, no more no lee. Lightning strike on merlion - collection of "too much" earth static charge(ion) so when storm clouds of opposite charge passing nearby, naturally there caused a "dischage" or "attraction" of two different charges. When need to be done is to install some ion dissipators on top of the merlion to make less "earth charge" at all time. SMRT's TVM(ticket vending machine)'s cashbox(black color, made of PP material) can accomodate maximum 900 pcs $1coin. When reached 850 pcs, a "cashbox near full" alarm message will be flashed over the station computer's SAP screen wthin the station control room. The CAU(cash Accepting Unit) in TVM is to validate the inserted coin throught 3 sensors in series, failure of validation coin goes to return cup, accepted one goes to cash box. The 3 inductance sensors detect "material", "thickness", & "diameter" of $1coin. The "guide path" in CAU is just slightly widen than the diameter of $1 coin. Many european countries then were using quite many coins of similar diameter coins of different thickness and material. The Automatic Fare Collection machines were manufactured by Cubic Western Data of USA. The CAU needs to be "programmed" by passing through same $1coin 100 times, during which the 3 parameters(material, thickness, diameter)data were store in a non-volatile RAM register. In 1986, I had "first hand" chance to use these "uncirculated" coins manufactured by Singapore Mint for programming & testing. After programming, many foreigner coins were used to "test" the CAU's accuracy. Finally test passed and "go ahead". Believed the "octagon" shape was then design to make "differentiated" from majority of european coins. If LKY believed "qi" or land formation, he would not have agreed to "block up" the common meeting point of singapore river, sungei kalllang & sungei geylang to form the present's Marina Barrage, some more he pressed the button to officially "open" it.

Just for knowledge. In present world, there are only 3 religions( Judaism 犹太教, Christianity 基督教, & Islam 回教)who believe in ONE God. The only and the only, no more & no less. Extracts from Exodus- second book of out 66 of Bible. 20:3 除 了 我 以 外 ， 你 不 可 有 别 的 神 。 You are to have no other gods but me. 20:4 不 可 为 自 己 雕 刻 偶 像 ， 也 不 可 作 什 么 形 像 仿 佛 上 天 ， 下 地 ， 和 地 底 下 ， 水 中 的 百 物 。 You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth: 20:5 不 可 跪 拜 那 些 像 ， 也 不 可 事 奉 它 ， 因 为 我 耶 和 华 你 的 神 是 忌 邪 的 神 。 恨 我 的 ， 我 必 追 讨 他 的 罪 ， 自 父 及 子 ， 直 到 三 四 代 ， You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters; So, naturally out of the belief, these 3 religions have strong sense of "opposition" to other religions. Christianity & Islam are actually developed from Judaism, over time. I've finished reading the 66 bks of bible, & many other supplementary bks on Jew's history. Sensitive issue, I shall not continue here, can PM me if you want to know more on this.
