compassvale

haha.. that's good to hear, but still worried coz doggies tend to lick/playbite... haha... it's alright... at least for fifi, scold her and she will back off!

both mr and mrs compassvale :lol: count us in! the duck mould killer - yes, it's good.. at least for the 2 times i used it. Just spray on and leave for a few hours before wash off... does work well for areas between sink and wall etc. But caution - smell is horrid.. smell like chloride, last up to 8 hours man, even after wash off.. so after you apply the duck mould killer, make sure you run far far for a long long time.

ok, we will contribute the chocolates.. will be in the form of chocolate mini pallets and full cream milk. (there is this shop in vivio city that sells delicious choco mini pallets for fondue purposes!)

Cheese fondue date: lets wait to hear from Mace. Choco fondue , i tried my hands on it before. easy to do... (my skills not very good la, but edible la), but must cook and eat immediately... So if Mace and wifey prefer to keep it just cheese, then no probs, christmas gathering at my place will have choco fondue! With bananas, waffle sticks, strawberries, kiwis etc... yums.. and Val, you may want to bring your mum along again! Oreo and Donut surely welcome.... and if they disturb Gendon, lets put all 3 of them in Fifi's big cage to fight it out.. hahaha Gendon: I got your pics! thanks!

u go bukit batok must change train at JE, if u lazy, can go UBI, take to eunos, eastwards all the way

we have a friend who just had a dotter as well in Oct, also very tiring for him though his wife's aunty came over to help. Family support very impt at this period of time he said, a couple alone will find very very tiring. Even got maid, also won't be *assured* to let her handle, cos, afterall, your own precious mah..hehe but ok lah, at least if got maid still can leave everything except the baby to her. And even that itself, is already tiring....

no worries blu, such things happen one..... apple jie very nice one....no need paiseh...hehe suddenly 4something now, sky turn very dark, took a nap woke up, tot 7pm liao...lol

Mace:- your cheese party... can i contribute chocolate fondue for the chocolate lovers too? I have a modest fondue set.... hahah... any chocolate lovers other than moi? Val- lets set a date for christmas at my place? see your flight schedule, which sat you available in Dec? Then can have another quick tour for houses completed and come my place to eat and chat!

for those into SUVs, the Porsche Cayenne is actually one of the most affordable rides for such exotic marques...compared to the rest of the porsches, this price very very good liao...dun think got other porsches/ferraris/aston martins under 300K one lor..hehe the top model with turbo, can even take on WRXs/EVOs..hehe let's all work hard...and get fat fat bonuses

The 2008 Mazda 6 really quite chio the wagon version storage space really big

used to drive my family's black camry as well Mace gor gor.. the ride comfort is really spacious and long distance trips really shiok...hehe so many toyotas on the road...but the interesting point is the increase in number of suzukis on the road, primarily suzuki swifts i believe..hehe

yup... another great gathering today.... can't wait for the next one

no lah dun exaggerate Cantona7, your one then anyway angel, dun worry lah, got many rounds one after this round.... when ranval and SPSK finish their reno, will be another round again... and the group gets bigger and bigger

U can either buy the camera body alone or with lens according to your needs... body alone now about 1900-2000. with the EF-S 17-85MM f/4-5.6 IS USM lens is about $2700 thereabouts

Val.. you progress is pretty on track ya? good good... Any updates on Oreo? is he better now? place still in a mess with things, laundry all over..... meanwhile, our yorkie tries to be a customs dog....haha

apple jie: canon 40D with 18-85mm lens....should have gotten a longer lens though (needed it badly at emirates stadium..hehe) here, I busy taking shots on top of Eiffel Tower, mrs compassvale sneak up and snapped this shot with her canon compact...hehe

hehe..thanks thanks..maybe can sideline..hehehe another of my fav shot. Growing Old Together (black and white nicer for this shot I think..hehe) Their stained glass really very tok kong lor..very detailed and beautiful when it catches the sun shining thru this one taken during changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace You ain't heavy, You are my son

yeah... next tour will be when ranval's place and SPSK's place done...lol

hahaha cantona... you and mace hahahahahah really funny..... We prob only make it abit later a gendon's place and bliss there after... coz got family commitments. Besides, the floor in our house is scattered with bits and pieces of our luggage that we have absolutely no time to pack them up... you will be doing hop scotch if you are really here this weekend hahaha... After meeting fifi at my place that day, you fifi withdrawal symptoms now ah? hahahaha See if we can bring her to bliss...

long trips must take breaks along the way, maybe next time renotalk can have a road trip to genting or somewhere...lol

just saw this pic in another forum minutes ago, test driven in spore liao... only 2 in spore now accordingly, one in the audi showroom, another one must be our friend's colleague one liao...lol more rare than ferraris/lambos.............. for now.. about 480K SGD

thanks thanks..hehehe the stained glass in the churches there very chio lor the eiffel the london eye at night also very chio..hehe

lol.... that's what those hardcore off-road enthusiasts have to pay for... high torque 4WD...*nothing in their way* hehehe but they are sure lasting lor...last time when i was in NS, those land rovers already so old liao...now reservist go back....still the same number plate, same engine/chassis number...wah liew.. older than most of us here ah...lol but get landrover good, cos i can help to service your landrover...lol i was a vehicle auto-tech in NS...*B* vehicle, which means 3-tonners and land rovers....lol

but Murano more spacious though for those with children actually, the CRV also not bad...but the new facelift takes some getting used to..hehe the interior though, is really much nicer compared to the previous one actually if really love off-roads, should get those landrovers/range rovers with winch pulling function..those kind can go mud/streams...get stuck never mind, tie to a strong tree trunk and can winch yourself up and out..hehe

very right. it is worth it for those having low COE to drive the full ten years...but for those who want to change cars early, having a higher COE means u will *break even* of sorts earlier when u wanna sell it after a couple of years... actually no such things as break even after owning a car...it's just that point where u no need to top up to pay back your bank loan after you sell your car...hehe
