  1. hi I think i read somewhere where i can get vendor to do leather polishing. Can someone leave the contact or recommend in forum where i can contact them ? thanks
  2. my water feature is down and i can easily replaced with another. But i prefer other "water" element and i would like advice. i want to replace it instead with a small one feet tank with submerged green plants and small neon fishes or guppies. (not arowana as my arowana all in pond) CAn i say as long as it is a "water" moving it is fine ? I do not want to bother about number of fishes as particularly in fengshui, but more of beautifying it ... What do you thin ?
  3. All my guest likes to sit on a sofa and they never get up. Then other guests who were late to my place will have to sit on dining chairs (no backing type). I want to buy very very comfortable chairs so that guests can have alternative seating arrangement. Can anyone recommend ? Must be of good quality and reputable retailers. Yesterday christmas gathering, 3 seater sofa - sit by 5 people (all refuse to get up - big-size kids + adults) - i feel so paisei, somtimes i feel like buying another set of sofa ... *sigh*
  4. I ask them where it was manufactured - told me manufactured in china. I just walk around and try out sofa - next thing is they can discount for up to $x ..whoa sounds desperate to clear everything including display set (they did tell me it is display set). In biz, it is common to get low-base cost. Hi Dave, May i know which components in the sofa are non-negotitable ? Eg Full top grain leather - takes up x% of total cost LAbour (i assume prc syt) - take up xx% profit - take up y% ?
  5. if u can, put the boss photo face here. he can change company, but not change face.
  6. just now i went to castila at bukit timah reference to sofa only. Castila premium standard really drop. Last time used to carry reputatble sofas. Now go there, diaappointment. Very limited selection. They willing to drop price by at least 20-30%. I ask about full cow hide (they did told me it is also full cow hide leather). Only one or two pieces for selection. The rest -can give it a miss. Honestly i now wait for Da Vinci (under renovation) Not that i m there to buy sofas, but want to see their standard maintain and can consider buying for my parents as well.
  7. i need some advice here. What is SIBOR and SOR rates although i heard it plenty of times. Unforuntely my mortage has always been fixed for 3 years (followed by SIBOR variable before i refiance) therefore i do no really care about the terms above. Can anyone explain in layman term and what external factors will cause it to swing ?
  8. My bro use #3 ..he has no complains. But fs thing is a yearly audit ..not a one time baseline and forget after that. Therefore choose a reasonable one by asking what is the subsequent yearly price like.
  9. did jim rogers come to singapore ? If yes, he knows our govt is not a bankrupt. Good analysis on US being a bankrupt.
  10. one way is to treat each flush as a nature water-fall and psychologically win the war.
  11. Singapore: 2.0%-2.5% does that mean that mortgage loan will be similar like above ? if yes, better recontract a lower rate now ?
  12. how much is the sofa ? full leather ?
  13. no need to turn on 24hrs. You need darkness to sleep. As long as you turn on lights and is bright enough, that will be good.
  14. i change my house lights into LED lights recently and all brighten up. Using older technology lights, will dim after a while, which is a hassle changing it. wait ..is this a fenghui topic or a renovation topic ? :-)
  15. I just installed led lights from collins company. a) call collins direct and ask him about led. He will tell you the equivalent of this against that. Alternatively go to his shop and he will show you the different brightness. b) there is no need to see the individual bulb. All you need is a perception of brightness and a reasonable price to pay.
  16. Over the years i've buy furniture and my experiences tell me the following : Quality comes with a price. Do not expect inexpensive means will last longer. If you insist on inexpensive products, tell yourself that less than 2-3 years prepare to change or buy a new set. If in forum, you read company A is no good, do not go further. After all, it is your money. Now let's return to your questions below a) 3+2 Sofa - read up the forum and ask yourself what kind of leather you want. REmember cheap "leather" only last less than 2 years and don't complain. Shop with your eyes open ! (different from marriage) :-) b) dining table - i usually go for teak wood. You can custom made it . Suggest that you take photos of the design you like and ask wood experts to customize it. c) same as dining table.
  17. haha ..i m just curious. thanks for the pm.
  18. anyone try the Vaastu Shastra fengshui ?
  19. if i want to polish, how often should i do it ? I am thinking of getting the polish materials from the vendor that does polishing ...so my maid can polish it monthly ?
  20. I suggest the buyer give a telephone call to EL to sort things out. Nowadays, when we work, we write email to colleagues who are sitting besides us. I always told my team - print out the email , walk over to colleagues and talk things out. Waiting for a reply from EL in forum - may not be their priority as festival are near which EL are busy or staffs from EL goes on long leave.
  21. i am no expert in crystal thing ..but for sure, when i walk past a crystal shops, i felt giddy each time. So i never place crystals at my place. So far none of my fsm ever ask me to do that.
  22. cov is for private buyer and seller. Now the buyer is a govt body, they don't pay cov. In the news, it is informed that many potential PRIVATE buyer will pay higher prices than the govt ...you can choose that option. Honestly how much do you want from the govt ? I am not supporting govt on this, but i believe prices are transparent.
  23. Hi Thanks. I only polish once a year when nearing to cny time ...
  24. Hi I own a hdb / private condo. Can i buy executive condo assuming it is more than 10 year old without selling existing properties ?
