nail polish remover = also acetone

Acetone ; speek a la hokkien style = AH SEE TONE those paintshops that sells ONLY PAINT definitely have this. any hardwareshop sells fire water / huay jiu. though some will give you THINNER instead. Spirit is not as strong as acetone...acetone can melt plastics. never use it on plastic/fabrics/painted surface. WD40 don work on rust removal. use the kleen king powder form.

think i can buy them by the 5' kilos pack.... then use a hammer....

neber heard b4.....charcoal?

mine one also have....just use KLEEN KING powder to brush it off lor.

paint shops - as well as big time hardware shops in jalan besar.

never use wooden blocks - go to those huge florists and buy bricks. i bought mine for $5 each. cos my washingmachine sit in the always wet washing area. 宝济丸 = $6 per pack only.

wow.....your contractor from outer space? so fast?

me TUESDAYs also BLUEs+green....sipeh sianz.... standing fan now. planning to hook up one or 2 wall fans cos too late for ceiling fan. haiz.

use finger nails can scrap off? if can, use acetone.

ST classifieds - mostly saturdays will have a few parquet specialists ads. call them for the price.

take the $180 go nosignboard eat until you laosai also shiok.

picking a house moving/reno date doesnt cost much. some even accept a angpao only.

think she is sleeping.....

don buy downlights that comes with ballasts. get those that you can just screw in a energy saving bulb.

got pic? all my windows/sliding door@balcony = all original hdb aluminium 1987 infact the hdb technical officer advised us not to change - cos nowadays the aluminium is so flimsy - quality no way can compare to those in the past. travelling = knowledge gained knowledge = priceless

actually - me kind of like ceiling fan cos VERY VERY practical and saves space also. too bad it wasnt in my reno.

since you both have yet to move in - there is no effect yet. fengshui got nothing to do with religion - just that some pple out there tends to mix it up.

they are more scared than you.

yalor no big deal wat - tell her the same thing when she askes for the remaining payments.

yalor. but i do feel a simple feature wall looks good for covering up/hiding the bomb shelter, cos in some houses bomb shelter were located at at some funny location. hmm some dont call this as feature wall.....decor?

any idea whats pu coating in hokkien? I always have a tough time talking to paintshops

some houses - their furniture costs MORE than their reno hor? simi also picket&rail wahsay fortunate that your dad giving you this advice - I learn it the hard way(creditcards). my house also full of either free(donate by relatives) or cheap furnitures(price we paid). When we first moved in - we dont even have a "presentable" TV, just a 21 inch donno how many yrs old sony from my wife's old house. now upgraded to 29" but free also

for wood. 1) sanding 2) shellac / shee lac - hardwareshop uncles sure can understand it. Need this as the base. 3) varnish(from hardwareshops) or bodelac (nippon paint). forget all those angmoh terms - in sg, pple who sells them WONT be able to understand them.
