  1. thank for feedback Each process has a nice-to-add scent. Dryer-sheet - any brands ? ironing - linen water - what is that ? essence laundry detergent - brands ? Of course i am not going to put everything in one-go. But to test at each stage what is the best for my family.
  2. all fengshui master has no scientific facts to hold on, otherwise the judge will consider all these hearsays. therefore pay what u can afford
  3. if anyone wishes to save electricty AND gas cost, i suggest going to condo shower-room for a bath. For those staying in hdb, i can't help :-)

  5. ok i use washing machine , then follow by dryer to spin dry the clothes. Then follow by ironing. I would like to know how to make shirts or clothes smell refreshing. At which stage of the process above, should i be adding special smells or chemicals (maybe not the right word) so that shirts smell nice ? I think using sunlight to dry clothes will always smell nice, but i cannot predict nature. Is smell determine by washing powder or liquid detergent ? Or do i need to add some chemicals during the drying process in dryer ? Or during ironing, i should spray some stuffs and iron it ?
  6. Friday - washing machine no longer working and warranty of 5 years - gone as well. Can anyone recommend a good washing machine (front loading). Brand and model ? I already have a dryer which will be put on top of the washing machine.
  7. huh ? just because you remove old threads - to keep forum lean, means the admin ask you out ? you want to setup a forum with me ? i always want to setup a forum (of other topics), but i've no experiences. (but i want to focus on certain topics in singapore)
  8. so there is no way to remove patches anymore ?
  9. at bukit batok west mall, they have a lifestyle product. Cost $5. name of product : Scent King. Purpose is to repel insects, ants, cockraches, bed bugs, etc. Non-toxic, and smell good. These product is actually avaialble in most medicine shop as listed in the brochure behind.
  10. really happy for the 1st timer to ballot / secure their dream flats ... :-)
  11. is 3M product - filter windows film same as reflective film ? TS, try putting Windows 7 wall-paper instead (Aero) and it may be pleasant to others :-)
  12. huh ? why you leave forum ? u are a active and serious contributor. It is good to have your insights.
  13. Say over the years, i paid the principal amount by thousands and it left about 100k owing. Will i be able to get refinance from other banks if the amount is too low ?
  14. convert into other function room then. It is just a toilet and is free for use, and basically it is where you "relax" inside. - what is there to be unlucky ?
  15. Inside Pillow got those brown patchy here and there - what is the cause of it ? How to remove them ? shouild buy new pillow ? So difficult to wash the pillow except dry under the sunlight. My pillow case is change weekly.
  16. I am sure most of our pillows over the month - become brown patchy here and there. What was the cause of it ? Do we need to change the pillow ? My pillow case wash once a week.
  17. before nathan, she probably look slim. For a few years of million dollars, she out of shape liao - thus nathan wants to end presidential term.
  18. At Steven's road, 5 min to Orchard 1033 sq feet at 1.5m, freehold ?
  19. I suggest getting someone inexpensive or "cheap" - preferred by singaporeans for a start. Why ? a) No FS can cure all every corner elements or max out the best elements. Neither anyone can do accurate prediction. No fs is expert in every areas. b) So get one that can cover 80% ...then over time, you feel better , then touch up 20% ..slowly bit by bit. In another words, spent less first, slowly when you are better off, spend more to get the incremental effects. Or slowly get to know more of the 20% from the elite forum members here (not me as i m just a consumer paying service as well). c) you never know the first FS you pick could be a right choice for you over the years. It's all about trial and error and convictions over the years as well.
  20. who call my name ? heheheh ok lah, i must admit that i always prefer to vote the capable one to be president although there isn't any day to day executive power. I guess very likely i will vote for Tony Tan. Now let me tell you why not from the candidates portfolio. Let's assume all candiates are EQUAL. One very easy way to determine who can be president IS TO LOOK AT THEIR WIVES. Honestly which wife really have the "face" to be the FIRST LADY. Honestly it is Tony Tan's wife. She has the first lady look.
  21. actually there is a lot of misconception that as long as above interest rate, keep running the fund. If my actual fund is only 100k, while my loan is 380k, the returns of the fund must be super-high to cover the interest payment of 1.99 of 380k. Of course if my fund balance is 380k which is equal to the loan of 380k, then it makes calculation easier.
  22. owe 380k in housing loan (condo) plan to pay 100k (withdraw from fund) interest rate 1.99% How much of Savings of interest compare to put 100k in funds ? yes funds earnings are more than 1.99% ..so logically should not withdraw them to pay loan ? What would be your strategy ?
  23. Thanks Sam, i would like to know further (if you are able to answer) a) from naked eyes, how to differeniate or see in reasonable eye on synthetic versus real leather ? b) Do you have picture or x-ray view of the INSIDE of the sofa ? Does brochures tell you the INSIDE of what you describe ? If the INSIDE cannot be seen or described easily, how does human determine the comfort ? Could the definition of "comfort" depends on each individual ? c) Refer to your answer on "Cow is softer, buffalo tougher" From singapore perspective, 1) what are the common animal leather in singapore ? 2) singapore weather is hot, which leather is better to absorb heat or human's perspiration ? d) Cow and buffalo - which skin is more expensive ? Or is it based on economics of scale in that countries ? Eg India currency is lower than Sing dollars versus Australian currency ? e) Grades : In a diamond's world, there are the 4C measurements. In the Tannery, are there organisations that determine the "premium" of the leather ? Is less scarring better ? I want to thank you again for your objective answers.
  24. I've just raised a new topic "layman term for leather sofa" in this forum Sam replies consider good. So whenever you shop for leather sofa, look out for these information.
