Hi, RimBlock The termination of cables will be done by the specialist, not the electrician. The cables in the trunking has separate compartment to avoid interference as you have mentioned. I have an IT expert who gave me good advice along with this specialist who will be doing the termination by these few days. All electrical installations will be certified, include this cat 6 installation. My eldest son is a cyber pro-gamer and we will definitely left nothing to game and expect only good connectivity.

My ID knows my expectations and he is also very particular on quality & workmanship. He is really someone who takes pride in his work. That's why you see him coming to site to check & monitor the progress himself. On New Year Day, 1.1.11, when I thought I could take a good break, my ID and carpenter came to take measurements and I was also required to be present to confirm the laminates. Sighzzz...got to stop my shopping spree and it was pouring heavily while waiting for taxi at Vivo City to Pandan Gardens.

I am very particular when it comes to quality and efficiency for Cat 6 cables. I get my Cat 6 cables from an IT expert, specialise in office IT system. I was told that quality of cables from Sim Lim Tower may not be that efficient. My Cat 6 cable is made in Ireland. You mat visit my reno blog for further information.

The animal makes up only One character out of 8 character (Bazi chart),so the prediction based on zodiac animal sign is considered 12.5% accurate but 87.5% inaccurate! Next, even if this animal appears in any of your chart, that particular pillar has to be analysed in conjunction with the yearly luck cycle.

Yes. Your interpretation is correct. We cannot overlook our Bazi chart when conducting fs audit for home. I have advised my friend to travel more, water element, and she did confirm that whenever she travels, she feels better.

Stove placed in NW, it is known as fire burning at heaven gate . NW belongs to Metal Element, and fire is burning the Metal! Liver is represented by Wood elements. For my friend's case, her favourable element is Wood; she really needs wood badly to maintain balance in her natal chart. Worst still, for her home, both woods elements are resided in NW sector, feeding the fire ( stove ). This increased the density of fire and fire becomes overwhelmed and attacked Metal in NW. Like me, she is also the head of family and anything affected by NW sector is definitely the head of household. We can place stove where star 3 or 4 resides, to support fire. But when you are badly in need of wood, would you save wood and nourish it, or would you let wood be weaken and used by fire, turning against you? Edited the mistake!

I was at Sg Kadut today spending over 3 hours walking alone at International Furniture Park starting from Castilla outlets to IFC. Managed to find a set of sofa which meets my taste. Actually not exactly considered a full complete set of sofa; my small living room cannot accommodate huge bulky sofas, especially those European brand. So, what I bought is only a half set of sofa from Mode Studio. Today, after pondering for weeks, decided to change the main door and side door. Total damage for half hour fire-rated doors is $1350 & $900 respectively. I got the deal directly with the door manufacturer and paid a few hundreds bucks more to match the design of the 4 bedroom doors. It took me so looonng to decide as friends and Kay-poh neighbours had dissuaded me from changing these HDB original doors claiming their superior quality! It makes my heartache for so many weeks but when you are spending over $70k for reno, accessories, Aircon, lightings, etc, these $2k extra is worth spending since these doors had been used by former 4 house owners! So, no point of keeping the Old doors when I have practically changed everything in the house from floors to ceilings, and windows.

Not the pressure problem, it is because the shower set has to mount below the beam and not high enough to enjoy the 'raining' effect. I am now using my iPhone to update this. Let me log in to my pc tmr and upload the picture to show you how the beam shattered my dream.

Total damage for 90% of kitchen & toilet accessories bought at Asia Excel is $2,840 after discount. Items still pending are: - one basin set for Master bathroom (can't decide which one to buy....either urgly or out of stock for the design I want. Also do not want to have the same design as common bathroom. Headache!!! - one mixer for the above basin - one shower set at Poh Joo which comes with the light effect for common bathroom. The shower set delivered by Asia Excel is meant for my master bathroom. If my dream is shattered, then this set will be mounted at the common bathroom. Waiting for the plumber to come next Tuesday & advise me.....die-die argue with ID to try mounting first

...agreed with you. Always do under supervision!

Fans are considered activator and used in feng shui to stimulate stagnant Qi in an area. She is probably concerned that Qi is not able to collect, meander & circulate in the house naturally & calmly.

You are going to renovate the house anyway, so don't fret over what to do when you collect key to a resale flat. Once you start renovation, the old / stale energy will be removed. Most important is to choose a good date to start the hacking & demolition. Then, upon completion, select an auspicious day for move in. Your fsm should be able to advise you.

I have one contractor quoted me $200 for acid washing for 5-room flat. As for cabinet, I have also a quotation for 200/ft for casement door wardrobe, or $220/ft for sliding door wardrobe. For doors, classic door is only $130-145, whereas solid wood door will be $250-280 per pc.

Hi, oinkoink Thank you for visiting my blog. I never thought of buying any specific brands for taps & mixers. Just shop around at Poh Joo & Asia Excel and eventually choose a design that is 'pleasing' to my eyes and match with the rest of accessories (like shower set) and towel rack (same design range). The most expensive item is the sink mixer at kitchen, brand is IXISS, cost me $299 after discount.

My master Joey Yap had written a book entitled "PURE FENG SHUI" and you can read up at MPH bookstores. Good guides & solutions to some common problems & situation (health, wealth, relationship).

Hi, bk888 I guess you are referring to Sickness Star 2 Black. From Dec 7 to Jan 5 2011, monthly flying star 2 resides at NW sector of the house. Place some metals (pewter ware, medals, dumbbell, etc) in that location (either macro & micro level) to suppress the negative star 2. If it is serious, then cure also monthly star 5 Yellow, the same method. 5 Yellow resides at South sector in December.

Progress photographs: Asia Excel delivered the first lot of accessories - rain shower set, WC bowl, towel racks, etc. The delivery man and service staff are very polite and they help opened all boxes for me to check. I ordered only one set of Rain shower, as ID said my dream of having the rain shower for my master bathroom could be shattered due to overhead beam!!

You can pay for the 'urgent' service. I am unsure whether this is still practised today as I had a good encounter with them sometime in 2000 when I urgently need a visa to attend a funeral in Yangon. It was a Friday late evening when I received a call. As their office was already closed, I called up a residential number from their website and they 'entertained' me. Waited for me to go down at 8:00pm that eventful Friday night. However, as I blur blur took the wrong passport, I left their office. Panicked, I called them again at about 10:00pm on that Friday nite, and they asked me to go to the embassy on next morning, a Saturday morning. I paid $90 and got my visa, off to Peninsular Plaza to purchase my airticket, rush to airport and depart for Yangon.

It will be blocking the windows....probably can convert into vanity area for your wife.

Why not you call up some ID firms and ask for their FOC ideas?

Progress photographs: Plastering in progress....2 guys were seen working on wall plastering when I went up at about 3:30pm yesterday. Also seen in the first picture, in white shirt, is my ID, Donny, who will visit the site whenever there is a new task being carried out.

Hi, CoffeeMan I guess my ID will be happy to see our praises for the workmanship for now. Let's hope this standard is maintained, else I won't hesitate to shoot out here!!

Finally complete the masonry wet works (floor & wall tiles). Progress photographs: Shampoo shelves at Master Bath/Toilet The wall tiles at common bathroom which was rejected earlier: Electrical Installation : The 2-Pin friendly wall sockets which I requested the Electrician to buy & install for whole house. Covered wall socket for washing machine at Balcony area: Last evening, the plaster guy came to upload the materials for plastering. Plastering will start this morning and will take 3-4 days to complete the whole house.
