  1. Not totally true.... We have seen Not-So-pretty woman marrying very handsome husband, and vice versa. Even if a guy met a pretty lady, he may not end up marrying that beauty. It is all in our Destiny!
  2. I have the same problem in my MBR toilet too....turn right and left - see those pipes everywhere!! I don't want to box the pipes, as it takes up a lot of space and make the tight shower area even worst...look at my post#213 here.... http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?s=...st&p=602818
  3. Marshy is good at baking...we can learn from her Remember we saw her 'abandoned' the mixer with the butter & floor inside when we came to her place last Sunday? Wonder what was she baking for that afternoon?
  4. Are you good at baking? Next gathering at Kobelala or Csingeu's place we can have party!!
  5. Here are the simple translation of the phrases of the 4 directions: At 0 degree - BaGua stablises home & auspicious At 90 degree - Sweep away Thousand disasters At 180 degree - Five elements turn luck of fortune for 10 thousand years At 270 degree - Receive Hundred of Prosperity That's what I understand...guess I didn't distort the original meaning....
  6. May Sayang...you are cheerful, friendly & very jovious. You look very healthy too! With your company, there is always laughter! Isn't this marvellous? Marshy's memory is still rated 'A', I guess she must have baked alot of nutty cakes for herself! Don't forget she uses more brain cells at work for formulas & theory; hence she definitely has better memory!!
  7. Thank you for the compliment......Marshy, you are a pretty, sweet & lovely lady! I believe when you reach my age, you will be looking good like me An 'Engineer Concept' indeed!
  8. I intend to take pictures of everything - people, home & scenery! I am Aging.....20 years down the road, you will reach my age now and still can remember things well. But 2 years down the road for me, I am unsure how aging may affect my memory... so I better capture all the good memories now! Read this article: How does the brain store information? Information is stored in different parts of your memory. Information stored in recent memory may include what you ate for breakfast this morning. Information stored in the short-term memory may include the name of a person you met moments ago. Information stored in the remote or long-term memory includes things that you stored in your memory years ago, such as memories of childhood. How does aging change the brain? When you're in your 20s, you begin to lose brain cells a few at a time. Your body also starts to make less of the chemicals your brain cells need to work. The older you are, the more these changes can affect your memory. Aging may affect memory by changing the way the brain stores information and by making it harder to recall stored information. Our short-term and remote memories aren't usually affected by aging. But our recent memory may be affected. For example, we may forget names of people we've met today or where we set your keys. hmmmm.....sounds scary right? But these are normal changes for aging process. I admit it!
  9. Not sure if you understand the meaning of these phrases here: The Luo Pan is now hanging upright with South reading on top. As for the needle, this is where it is pointing......with adjustment made by fsm. As mentioned in my earlier post, I am 'connected' to his recommendation although I have mentioned I am not interested in any form of arts of placement. His logic is abit 'xuan', not easy for laymen to comprehend....and I take it as a wonderful piece of beautiful art!
  10. Hi, bro Kobelala Oh...it is good that you both husband & wife are having the same retail working hour Pics? We were all overhelmed by the scenic view of Jurong Lake, busy chit-chatting & forgot to take a gathering pic, even though I brought along my camera. Maybe you are not in the gang today...waiting for you to complete the group picture...hahaha
  11. I think those curvy arch door & frames are more expensive than normal doors. Verdict : keep for now
  12. Hi, Sunny Woah...that is super fast in planning the purchases & renovation items. That time, I was very blur, perhaps I have too much things which occupied my mind, and being alone keeping track of everything from the day we decided to overhaul our unit. ID got to remind me & trigger the schedule & remind me to buy the accessories, as I was like waiting for things to happen Anyway, he is a patient guy Looking forward to your progress photographs ...Can't wait to see so many rooms you created for your big family!!
  13. I agreed with you...children are still children in the eyes of a parent especially for boys. My aged mother is also always worried about my brother, but not our sisters. By the way, we went to marshmellow's place this afternoon, but didn't see you? Sis marsh told us that you are working today?
  14. Hi, marshmellow Thank you for allowing this gang; maydream, csingeu & wifey, and me, to visit your beautiful place this afternoon. I had a wonderful time at your comfy home & once again thank you & your hubby for spending the time with us.
  15. Hi, bro Kobelala I have yet to look at my children BaZi for relationship yet. So far, only analyse their Health aspect & Wealth for them, especially the elder son who enters into 'Rob Wealth' cycle now. As the name literally implies, if he is not careful with his money, he can get robbed! (on a confidential note here, my 2 elder children inherited some money left behind by their late father. As eldest son will have $$$ problem. I am now holding on to my eldest son's money & will only return to him when his luck cycle change. ) As for the Moon seen last night, it was the nearest to earth and that's why the moon was very bright & clear.
  16. kobelala The parquet floor is still shiny...good condition. Can save you $$$. Looks like previous owner like curvy round thing, the door arch, the corners of stairs.
  17. Youngest son asked me earlier to look out of the window & look at the Moon. I was busy then mopping away the white powdery thingy left on the floor, as the tiler guy advised not to mop the floor within 3 hours. He said I will regret it if I missed it tonight. Why? Tonight's moon is the brightest in past 18 years & I won't get to see it again! A while ago, I stick my head out of window & the round moon is really very bright. Normally you would see dark sky but tonight the sky is clear & bright. I hope you have also seen the moon tonight.
  18. My fire-rated solid wood with veneer main door (double leaf door) is $1,300, side door (single leaf like yours) is $900. As I didn't take the lever lock, they give a discount of $50. I would suggest you take those items out & anytime you want them back, you can consider as Variation Orders.
  19. ID sent message informing that the tiler boss is sending his top man to touch up the uneven groutings which I spotted just recently. This tiler guy is really good; besides rectifying those problematic area, he practically combed the whole house & redo all the white gaps which some lines had already partially turned black!!
  20. My exact sentiment & that's why I dropped the contractor with lowest quotation like hot potatoes!!

    ne0 I got the inspiration for white kitchen from this forum & so when my ID said "white kitchen", I say "Yes"! Agreed with you that solid white top stains easily, but it also cleans easily too. I usually place a wet white cloth with some detergent over the stain & it is gone within mins.
  22. Hi, Sunny I personally & sincerely wish you a smooth reno journey! Your house is really big & kudos to your space planning skill! Looks like another challenger to my Extreme Makeover!!
  23. Hi, YunYun Thank you for visiting my blog here. I will PM you the contact details of my hardworking ID. Wishing you good luck in your ID selection & a smooth reno journey in advance.
  24. Thanks, marsh. See you this Sunday.
  25. I agreed with what you have said. Unlike electronic devices where original packaging comes with unbroken seal to guarantee that it is BNIB.
