Hi you got a nice home there. May I know where u get the acrylic sheet? Thought of doing the same too for my gate. Thanks

Can u pm me his contact? He seems to be doing a good job. I love the design. Thanks. Yellow

I used Lego house in 2006. So far so good. 5 years later, everything still feel ok except for one of my kitchen hinges. I think they are still using Malaysian workers. their quote is definitely reasonable and from my experience, I do not see any hidden costs. But that was all 5 years ago. I hope they are still keeping up w the good work. No matter who u choose, please please supervise the workers even if u have to take several leave. call me kiasu but it's worth it when it involve such $$$$. Yellow

Thumb up for lizard traps! It's clean and easy. It works well for me. Once I caught two small lizards in a box. Recently, just caught a big and fat lizard. Also caught other weird insects like moth and fruit flies. All kenna stuck. I think that time I forgot to clear for 3 months, and dead lizard attracted the flies. No wonder cos I been wondering why they disappeared suddenly. I got it from ntuc as well. I chose the one with white plain box packed in green paper cover. It seems more effective and sticky then other branded ones. I never caught anything at all with those.

I package with my curtains for living room and roller blinds for my other three rooms for $1400. Joo Chiat Complex, Monli Curtain. first floor at entrance. Btw, mine is beige in colour for easy maintenance. Price should be lower cos the $$$ goes into my organza designer curtain....very heart pain.... BTW, maintenance to me is very important. so for those out there, do not get heavy curtain.

haha...really interesting....maybe sometimes it depend very much on $$$ = quality Not all apples are the same....6 for $10 and 3 for $10 Think it's always wise to spend more $ upfront on fixed big items then regret later.

Some of my regrets: Not installing air-con and ceiling fan in my living room. Should stick to matt floor tiles. Would have save much time in mopping without a care on water marks! Better still, I would go for broken marble. Old fashioned but no need to worry about dirty groove. Should go towards greener purpose eg. energy saving items like light bulbs instead of fancy lightings, energy saving refrigerator etc. Should do away with white sofa. Starting sure nice, but need maintenance.... Do away with shower screen, so cumbersome to clean. Pretty much that's it. I also want to share some others which I think I did right. Choose white basin instead of glass basin for toilet. No issue with maintenance. Dark matt floor tiles for kitchen. Looks clean everyday. Just love my roller blinds. Little maintenance and durable. 2 yrs and still working well. (of cos, not from Ikea)

Possible as long as it can fit the gap. For me, I prefer to use the scraper. Thin and sharp. Be careful the fingers though.

I worked with bleach, gout cleaner and magic sponge but it doesn't work for me! Guess the only way is to redo the gout. I tried one line across my living room and almost fainted from doing it! Leave it lah!

Hi Flower123 Ha ha...this thread very funnie....but back to the serious part, perhaps you should just talk to him. Being newly wed, you both have lots to learn from each other and in this case preference and sensitivity. Talk and communicate and learn to accept loh.

HA ha ha....reading all these replies sometimes really make me wonder which era we all come from...keke. I had mine and hb underwears hanging above the window. So every time we admire our scenery from the kitchen, we will have our underwear on top of our head. Guess wat, the underwears are literally resting on our heads as we stand there and chat. Just came back from Genting and we won some money. Talk about pantang...haha..

Nay, I still think that it's impt we have our own personal undisclosed savings. Woman mah. no matter wat, still need a sense of security. Dun be too naive on the word LOVE. It aren't everything. Only a portion.

Aiya, i think it's more like pantang and hygiene matter lah. Actually, I can't imagine throwing everything (clothes & undies) into the washing machine. Very er xin leh. For me and hb, we each washed our own undies by hand everyday after shower. He does his and I did mine. As for the rest of the clothes (including bra), I will mix and let the washing machine run twice weekly. Bra to me is more like singlet since it's worn upper part of body. As for the hanging and folding portion, we both dun care who or whose since by then, everything (& undies) is considered CLEAN - although I must admit, I'm doing most of the hanging part.

Wow...new stencil for each bamboo? Really need a lot of patience especially when it comes to complex stencils.... "faint" Thanks, clockwork. At least now I got a bit of idea how to do it..

Hi clockwork, I'm really amazed by your creativity. Been a silent admirer of your artworks. haha For each new bamboo, do you use a new paper or do you "reused" it over and over again? And what kind of paper to use - ordinary A4 paper? I thought of doing a Chandelier for my room but still waiting for my "boss" approval.

Ya, and you just missed out the wonderful Geylang Serai bazaar (hari raya). They have lots of cushions for bargains. Must wait next year liao. Can try Tanjong Katong Complex and Joo Chai too.

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering. With all these wonderful gadgets, do you still sweep or vacuum the floor before you mop? I'm the lazy sort and will always try to find shortcuts...

He brings his hp everywhere he goes? Is that his habit previously? It is important that you stay calm at all time in spite of the question marks exploding in your head, ok. I hope this is just a case of hb work related stress for his kind of behaviour. Find a chance to talk about fun sweet memories which you guys had done together. Get the mood lighten up ok? Get him a handmade card to show ur support as a wife. if he can't listen, at least he can read rite? Smile more often but not like a stupid fool. Stroke his hand/face when in bed/asleep. Be demure & alert! Maybe it will touch his conscience and come to his senses for neglecting you. man is the pillar of the house but the wife is the heart of the family. Without the heart, the pillar will collapse too. Perpentual, trust your man? heavy sigh....I wonder why there are so many unfaithful hbs then. Never trust your man, but your heart!

Hey HT Devil, how about buying new clothes for yourself and get him to notice you. Clothes not just for day but night... I learnt something from a book. Get a man to listen to you by talking slightly softer and slower than usual. It works on my hubby. Sometimes just the normal tone of our voice will turn them off without us realising.....sianz i know the rest may object, but I still give a thumb up if you wish to do your own little search for clues around the house.... (i mean no harm if he did not know)

So far I never experience double glazed windows for home use. But my office use that kind of window to reduce airplanes noise since we have them flying over the building regularly. It does certainly reduce the noise!

Just buy Ant Killer (orange coloured box) from NTUC. Cost less than $2. It looked like biscuits bits and make sure you place some along the trail of the ants so that they can bring it home to eat. I am normally helpful - I will take time to trace the nearest path to their "home" and place some near the entrance. Save them the trouble to walk so much to bring back. They are so happy. Help yourself! keke After a while, they will R.I.P. As for the cracks between walls, just buy a sealer and seal it up. You dun want any new batch of ants to come in future...

Of all Hoe Kee shops I went, I give thumbs up for the one at Tanjong Katong!!.

oh yeah, it will definitely open up the space. Just looking at the safety aspect. heheh...just ban your kids from coming to the kitchen when u mop the floor...

Nice but you not afraid it being too slippery for the kids? You really give it a modern look. So what's the damage?
