The secret is good foods and friendly people. Badminton Hall no more, turn into a fishing/prawning pool (the couple pump in $600,000 for their business), a rock climbing school, a pet shop with pet cafe (run by Tony and sis) and a few legal loan杀 companies. Business is really bad for fishing/prawning pool and they close shop for good. Later on the SLA step in and say cannot do retail at that venue, the pet shop went to see our Prime Minister Lee and SLA back off. The owner Guillemard Village wants to increase the pet shop rental by another 20%, Tony chose to close the cafe business and concentrate on the pet shop. At the main building after Fatty Weng close shop, Guillemard Village turn it into a food court but business already not good, then the owner go charge for parking with no grace period, finally force the food court to close shop for good too.

Yeah, too many good foods at old airport road food center; one of the main reason we shifted haha. Me & wifey grown so much on our sideway during our 9 years there. Good doctor only Dr Loh from Healthwise; Dr Chong cannot make it if he found out you have other underlying long term illnesses, he gut-less to give you stronger med to fight off infection. Most important Dr Loh charge very reasonable, I still visit her for my asthma and migraine. Most if not every Sunday you can find me at the TCM next to Choong Clinic, i buy Chinese herbs and supplements from that Chinese sinseh. If you love Cherry, buy from the only fruit seller in the wet market; he got sell some really exotic fruits.

Waterproofing for kitchen is a bluff lah, at most they only waterproof a very small area around the drainage of your sink. How can the big kitchen waterproofing cost less than 2 small toilets? Maybe you can nego with them to absorb the waterproofing of sink drainage area. You better ask them what is HDB approved prepack mortar including outlet piping? Ask them to show you the stuff physically and ask them why other quotation dont have?

What material is your counter top?

Step up shower area can be nicely design and build but very costly, most of the time you can find this type of shower area in big condo penthouse or landed property. A big un-polish granite as base, surrounded by wooden plank with a tempered glass shower screen build around the wooden plank. The bathroom of HDB flat is too cramp for this type of step up shower; if the step up too low will be ugly, too high will add unnecessary weight to the bathroom floor which might not be approved by HDB. Too simple the design, your dry area will end up wet every time you shower; too complicated the design will burn a bigger hole in your pocket and overall because of the small HDB bathroom, it will look ugly too.

Once they finish all the pau... they will close chop, so their closing time no fix timing; better go in the late morning or early afternoon.

Very nice kitchen cabinet!

Tanjong Rhu pau is overrated lah... big only, the meat inside taste so normal; the hand-make pau at B/34, no doubt the pau is a little small, the meat inside is yummy with egg and some crunchy vege, very yummy. Or else why they have super long queue while Tanjong Rhu dont and they finish their pau everyday, not like the other shop mass produced, if cannot finish selling will surely keep for another day. No? If you like pau, have you try the one in the hawker center last row, together on the same row as Fatman Satay, the stall name is 包不同, his fatty or lean meat kong bak pau, char siew pau and vege pau are yummy too.

gee... not sure if the cement screed is flat or not, you better ask Morgan to help you check. seriously i should have push you for 2 more weeks for my new place to be slowly touch up. haha... I was played out by the previous Indian owner, my reno process was very rush; arrangement of various sub con group to come in is very precise, no time to waste and they must do a good job at first go or risk...

That zhi char stall at the corner coffee shop is Fa發 Cai财 Mui妹, you can ask Cynthia for her mobile number so next time you can phone in your order or make reservation. The same coffee shop in the morning got long queue at 2 other stalls, the wanton mee stall and the hand-make bao.

No expert here. Not a contractor or ID but previously in this industry for quite a number of years. About the slowness of his reno, i started reno on my 35 yo 3i on 12 March, i moved in on 16 April and I passed my 4A keys to denimart on the very evening, today is 23 May and his reno only completed the tiling of the kitchen and 2 bathroom, i personally find the process is kind of slow.

Me too, i also like that floor trap but was talk out by my designer cos he done a drop on the bath area instead of curb, not much floor thickness allowance left if use that floor trap, may jeopardize waterproofing and caused inconvenience to neighbor below. That is 100% natural solid white oak plank, not engineered wood, laminates or vinyl.

like tio suan... jkjk

Too expensive, can see a break down price list quoted by your electrician? Lighting fixtures can be expensive depend on the type and brand you choose; i spend a total of less than $450 for my whole house lightings, all energy saving bulbs, some are remote controllable and can be dim.

The white oak is so deliciously beautiful, love the wood grain. Please remove that iPhone, look so eye-sore!

Very swee but very slow.

my 1977 3i also has major alignment issue in every rooms, my designer friend say no problem lah, just build around the alignment to lessen the effect, not enhance it jiu hao le.

Durian is for emergency case of sever lau sai (watery motion, weak to walk); if soft motion, then feed guava (must avoid the seed, their stomach cannot digest). Durian and guava are heaty fruits, human eat too much also cannot pung sai. I try to avoid pet shop treats, dont know what they made of; sometime i ordered freshly bake treats from Furry Pets and pick them up personally. Betty love durian pancake, easily to make, just mix durian puree with flour, then pour the dough over non-stick pan, then roll into a stick and slice into pieces.

Congrats... page 32 le. Her treats are mainly fruits; red apple, papaya, rock melon, blueberries and cherry. Only whenever she LS, i will feed her a seed or 2 "cat-mountain-king" durian.

since you also have dog at home, i shall post Betty's daily Home Cooked Food (HCF) preparation photo at your t-blog, hope you dont mind. my alkaline water system can save the acidic water in a separate container, i use it to bath Betty once a week, her skin condition (genetic) is getting better.

maybe starter, maybe ballast... you can try change the starter 1st to see thing gets better or not. light that uses ballast waste extra 8W of electricity when switch ON.

Any soup that require boiling for a few hours (like Buddha jump over the wall) i will use a pressure cooker for the final boil, just need 20-30 minutes instead of 4 hours.

I have leftover bak kut teh soup from last night; tonight going to use it as stock to boil meat dumpling and maybe steamed half a dozen xiao小 tung湯 bao包. *yummy yum yum*

Betty also cant eat chicken... so whenever i steam fish or make pork dish, she will get steam cod/salmon as side dish to her Home Cooked Food of 2 steamed pork meat ball with broccoli, pumpkin and brown rice.

she can eat the meat torn from the bah kut after washing away the spices.
