whether to paint pink/purple or not depends on "are you satisfied with your current situation?" do you always fell sick, many problems here and there? yes counted. but dont hang at the SW.

if you took the readings from the centre of the house. I am afraid the NW sector(male owner) is missing, only the SW(female owner) is there. SE(eldest daughter) also missing.

such things can do by yourself, unless you already paid the fsm for a "package". give him and ask lor.

you got it!

then follow your fsm's procedure lor...not much difference. OPEN DOOR 1) choose a auspicious date 2) bring rice+salt+glutinous rice mix in a big bowl/small pail and throw on all corners of each room/toilet/kitchen all the way from ther rear to front door, close the door and dont re-enter until 3 days later.

alamak...dunno the shop name...only knows where- near longkang, beside a shop selling wire mesh. shop looks messy, most nice lamps are kept inside, you must ask the ah pek with specs(boss but looks like beggar) what you are looking for, then he will bring out the stuffs to show you. the shops in sungei road mostly for contractors - so most of the good stuffs they dont display out. cos contractors usually knows what they want unlike consumers like us.

that means you ONLY hear sounds but dont see, dont feel(got go touch the ceiling or not?) any water? boxing up sewage pipes is for the rich, not for me.

yes, copper went up a lot. but the price between honest and dishonest contractors also have a lot of difference. You better spend more time in ELECTRICALs subforum and read more articles there. certains thing like PUB testing is not a must, since no testing, you can place your sockets or whatever electrical related stuffs ANYWHERE YOU WANT. take note of the following things 1) brand of socket/switches used. 2) wire tapping, make sure you are there when they are rewiring. all wires from sockets no matter how far it is away from the main db , must be 1 whole line and not cut+joints. all the wires from 1 end should ends at the DB. Akira, Powerpac all these $20+ fans hor - they are noisy, I have both. they dont last very long. the oscillation got problem also. KDK is the king in fans, quiet and long lasting that why cheapest is at least $80-$90!

if grandma wants to help doing all these, can also. I believe she knows when comes to OPENING the doors, her grandson should be the one holding the keys. when comes pai pai, her grandson should also be the one holding the joss sticks. many jewels buried in sungei road( contractor's paradise ), I got most of my stuffs there, same thing you see elsewhere, I can get it at least $20-$50 cheaper there. example - round ceiling lights(glass). balestier - $90-$120 sungei road - $35 exactly the same manufacturer hor!

1) opening the doors for the first time = YOU 2) dongtu (to start reno) = YOU 3) xietu (to finish reno) = YOU 4) house moving in = YOU 5) Ang Shen & Ang ZHu Xian = monk or taoist priest. Auspicious dates for all the above = FSM.

jokes aside, mandarin ducks are for bedroom + NW location and SW location only.

Only the owners are supposed to open the door. those whose name is on the hdb agreement. 1) aus date for opening doors for the first time. 2) mix half salt half rice, if house is vacant for very long(more than 6mths) add in glutinous rice also. throw the mixture on all corners of all the rooms,kitchens,toilets, from inside all the way to main door. then exit close the door and do not enter until 3 days later. for dongtu 1) aus date 2) go to any incense shop and tell them you to do dongtu, they will teach you and tell you what to buy. 5 portions of incense/papers..5 portions of bla bla bla...etc.

you got FALSE ceiling in the toilet? if not, cannot be the ceiling. the sewer pipes in my toilet always can hear the dripping noise when my neighbour takes a bath. mine whole house is OPEN...nothing is concealed. cos old house scared lah.

cannot let donut sleep in bedroom2 or mbr, especially mbr. cannot sleep at the centre of the house too. kitchen the best

must be rubber yellow ducks - so when whole family bathe together ala japanese style can play the rubber ducks together - thus family members more knitted together.

those tangkees in temples will tell you it's metal bcos they based on the year you were born. which is absolutely nonsense. 庚申 year = metal year. you are yang wood born.... wahlao.... 6 characters nia already so good. (time not taken). if your time got water......i think i better start polishing your shoes now. so nx time you can remember me hor must be somebody....cannot be simi ah lian or ah soh.

dont think i see this clause in the fire insurance cos when we sign th agreement to purchase flat, straightaway we went to buy the insurance at the counter. check with other contractors but best still check with AIG. since redoing wiring, everything should come in a package and not some stupid excuse as longer wires needed. my contractor didnt tell me this. go and check the reputation of the contractor first. lots of this one must pay extra that one not included BS after you sign the agreement. frankly from the way your contractor tells you, i wont engage them if i were you. go to renovation firms and read more about contractors and ids
