my house done by hobee - $20k but then we only did whatever that is NECESSARY, no fanciful stuffs. took the advice from a OLD BIRD here, reno our house to look like a house, not look like a hotel.

he charge me $2200 or $2400 for my EM but that was last year.

i can vouch for his painters - very very skillful - no overlapping no paints on your wall sockets, whole house is in EVEN colour. best thing is - they patch up all the holes.

it's for clearing off ODOURs from your hands/body, just wash like soap. so far have tested on fish,onions,petrol,diesel,thinner..etc no more SMELL.

then my grandfather clock left only wood chips/shavings.... wah.... what great friends i have....sipeh the ORHSIM...

you can get a rosewood tall side table for $160-$300+ oriental handicrafts or gnee hong.

drain or canal??? depends, cant just judge from ONE point. get a fsm.

there are lots of REAL true blue fsm out there.

ya this one is their latest version - more handy and practical. glad you got it. PAGE 6 ? haha you can but i cannot haiz....

i own a company also - I multitask as the chairman, director, GM, Regional Sales Director, HUman resource director, office cleaner, despatch rider ...bla bla bla

you need to tell your contractor to PAINT or VARNISH. paint = they will just paint it over with normal paint(cheap) or with wood paint(pay a little more). overall such job is the cheapest. varnish = they will sand and then revarnish, for skirtings think this will be expensive.

When oil reaches USD$200 per barrel - think me going to befriend some aunties working in OLD Chang Kee... http://motoring.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/...0512-64693.html :lol:

first thing first - they should check their own brains (couple in the news). 6k combined income buying a 600k house???

There 2 types of FSM out there - 1 - one who puts everything he learns into test/hands on > normally these are ones who make it out to become real true blue fengshui masters. 2 - study for 20-30 yrs but relies heavily only on theory > these are the so called Master of Theories who good at telling stories/histories from the books he read. these are not fsm, they can be easily spotted - yes even in this forum. One thing that is similiar among them is - when they are being stomp on a certain question that they have no idea about - they will PULL out 10 pages of complex chinese sentences from some old book to defend themselve - if they do understand it, they should be explaining in their own words.

Search for dream home turns into nightmare AFTER several failed attempts to get a new HDB flat, he was ready to give up and pay more for a private property. Then, home-buyer Dave Tan had a stroke of luck - or so it seemed. He found a new five-room HDB flat at City View @ Boon Keng. This is the second public housing project to be built and sold by private developers. Hoi Hup Sunway Development is the developer. Even though it cost a whopping $675,000 - not cheap for a new HDB flat - Mr Tan was okay with the price. But his happiness was short-lived. The 30-year-old and his fiancee, who are getting married next year, found out that they may not be able to finance their new home. PENALTY They are having difficulties securing a home loan and may even have to pay a penalty to give up the flat. The couple's combined income is about $6,000, said Mr Tan. They put up an option fee of about $33,000 for the flat two months ago. But the Housing Development Board (HDB) rejected their loan application for 90 per cent of the cost of the flat last month. This is because Mr Tan's director's fee can't be used for credit assessment, and his fiancee didn't have the pre-requisite three months of continuous employment for the same company. Mr Tan runs a serviced office business. His fiancee quit her last job in February and started work as a personal assistant last month. Upon appeal, HDB said they will be willing to give the couple a loan of about $150,000, but rest will have to be paid in cash and out of their CPF. Mr Tan said: 'Where can I find so much money to pay for the flat? 'We were very happy when we managed to get the flat. But with this loan issue, I really doubt we can afford to get the place now.' The 714-unit condo-like development will be ready only in2011. Mr Tan said he and his fiancee had tried balloting for a new flat three times last year. On two occasions, the flats they wanted were already taken up. On another occasion, they didn't get a chance to choose a unit because all were taken up. Mr Tan said he had approached a few banks for loans, but the maximum they would lend was about $400,000, still about $270,000 shy of the purchase price. To make matters worse, if he defaults on this flat purchase, he'll have to pay a penalty of about $8,000 to the developer. This is about 25 per cent of the option fee which he paid for the place. 'The developer said that since the sale didn't go through, we have to forfeit part of the option fee,' he said. TEARS 'My girlfriend is so upset that she cried and lost so much sleep over the penalty. She said she has never lost so much money before in her life.' The couple had borrowed the money to pay the option fee from their relatives. A very frustrated Mr Tan thinks that it's unfair to be penalised because it wasn't a case of them not wanting to proceed with the deal. Rather, they can't accept the deal now because of loan problems. A spokesman for Hoi Hup said that in cases where the applicants do not meet the eligibility requirements for the flat, there will be a full refund of the option to purchase fee. But if the withdrawal to buy the flat is due to other reasons, such as loan issues, the applicants face the prospect of forfeiting 25 per cent of their option fee. The spokesman declined to comment on the above case and would only say they are reviewing MrTan's appeal to waive the penalty. » HDB: Buy a flat within your means

sad story. hates such con-fsm aga aga know which one you talking about - either that lao chio bu at toa payoh or that hippo ah soh from malaysia.

Welcome to RENOTALK!!!! this frostyflake is no good for fengshui - better come live with me

bcos they got that SLS mentality - don wan buy don ask so much, wan buy come down buy.

maybe turn the whole kitchen into a cage? whahaha...

the above part is unbelievable but i read 2 times - it seems to be a one-side story. if it's real - yes i do agree this punk is a real bus-stard. but the problem is - there were at least 2 chances before hand to aviod all these/ before leading to the ambulance arriving at the house. 1) hit and run - settle on the spot 2) relatives didnt bother about the merz kid yelling outside the house. Is giving a 7 digit IC so difficult? one more thing to note on such incidents - usually the general public would sympathies the DEAD party and "overlook" all the faults done while shifting all the blame to the one who is still alive. the part where that punk is completely wrong. 1) yelling at a sick person on a stretcher (lets take it that it's real) 2) fake receipts (over claimed) thats all same thing with an accident at TPE a couple of yrs ago - a motorcyclist(2 wheels) playing JAM BRAKE with taxi driver(4 wheels). motorcyclist end up DEAD and the whole media shift the blame on the poor taxi driver. a 2 wheeler play JAM BRAKE with a 4 wheeler leh how dumb is that??? the traffic rules are very simple upon road accidents. EXCHANGE DETAILs, we are in sg unlike in malaysia even a single man wont dare to alight from his car. 99% of all male drivers would do the same thing as that punk when kena HIT&RUN. Chasing/following the irresponsible driver. yes IRRESPONSIBLE driver. that woman made the choice for others to chase her - if she has OBEY traffic regulations to exchange details on the spot instead of running away, such mishap wouldnt have happen.

they only MOVE around inside their cage - once outside - they freeze themselve for a good photo shoot.
