  1. Anyone didn't replace all the aircon units to avoid the renovation and only replace the compressor ? Can share your experience ? Thanks !
  2. Deducing that the husband has a 3rd party based on one SMS is a bit rash. However, I believe your friend could have seen other tell-tale signs that result in her wanting a separation. She may not have told you everything. Depending on the individual's tolerance and situation, it's very difficult to give advice. I've seen women giving their husbands second chance after finding out they have affair. Some women just call it quits. So what you can do is to maybe advise your friend and her husband to go for marriage counselling to give their marriage another shot. Let them discover for themselves the differences between their expectations, communications etc. Let them work the problem out themselves.
  3. http://www.spotlight.com.sg/ Cheers,
  4. Hi Eggie, we bought an outdoor blind from spotlight in June and engaged their installation services too. the installation is $25. Spotlight also sells curtain tracks, so most likely u can engage their installation services. Would be cheaper for u if it's a standard installation price: $25*4 = $100...hee hee Not sure whether this helps...
  5. hmmm....haven't tried it even though there's one below my office (suntec). My colleagues keep saying how nice it is... but I always find it to be really really smelly whenever I walk past it...!! The smell puts me off!
  6. Hi tweetie, sorry I cannot find the link already. They could have removed it !!
  7. Hi tweetie! under 2 names: my dad and mum. considered as 1 flat so cannot split again My parents wanted to sell one because all of us are married, and they din want to maintain such a big flat. We enquired at hdb, answer is no. I think there is also info on hdb.gov, but I cannot find it now. Wait, I go for lunch first, will post the link later! Cheers,
  8. Hi hi, confirm cannot. That's HDB's answer when we wanted to sell one of my parent's 3+3 unit.
  9. Hi snowiee, if 1 king size bedsheet is too small for 2 combined super single, then how can 1 king size bedframe fit the 2 super single mattresses ?? Are u going to custom-make the bedframe ?
  10. Anyone bought Canon A550 ? What's the price and is it good ??
  11. Wah I am trying to imagine how you all play mahjong ! but then those luggage types with screwed on legs are not lasting. Those basic foldable type are better!
  12. Wah....that's ultimate ! That's right. Morale already very low in our department. Our boss resigned, now new boss come in, different working style, more hands off...so more work on our part. Sometimes, we even have to guide the new boss ! Somemore, the boss's boss doesn't really care about our department. Treat us like redundant, cos he has another portfolio which is more glamorous! Now our dept is very small, only 3 of us (excluding boss). The other two already openly said that they are looking for jobs. Left me, not looking yet because I like the nature of the job, which is the only motivation. So I thought it would be better if we encourage each other, rather than instigation...sigh...guess different people have different thoughts. I guess I need to be stronger psychologically !
  13. I saw one at barang barang, with an additional table top, at $600+
  14. I have a colleague who is a constant complainant about the workload that she has. She keeps complaining about how short the time she is given, and how much work our boss gave her. Then because of the unreasonable workload, she needs to bring work home. And this morning, she just told me that she worked until 12am. And because of the unreasonable workload, she wants to change job. I used to be sympathetic towards her, until I found that she has been msn-ing most of the time during office hours. I often can hear her typing furiously at her keyboard and sometimes giggles can come from her cubicle. (She is seated just opposite me) Not that I'm particular about internet surfing / msning during working hours, because I am also guilty of that. hee hee but I do it when I finish most of my stuff. I think it's a bit overboard if you msn the 80% of the working hours, then left 20% to do work. Lagi best, complain everyday...getting on my nerves liao What do u think ?
  15. Hi tinkle ! not moved in yet ?? I tot u got your flat at about the same time as me ??
  16. That's true...however, in my case, I was buying a HDB and the lawyer was needed because I took a bank loan. If I can take HDB loan, I dun need a lawyer. I think paperwork is pretty straightforward for HDB cases, unlike private property.
  17. that's sounds bad...anyway to lodge a complaint about the lawyer ? yeah, actually I too wonder about the usefulness of the lawyer. In fact, throughout my transaction, we only met the lawyer for 1 hour, when he explain the contract terms to us, and when he is explaining, he is so distracted and very rushed. I think that is pretty unprofessional behaviour. We normally liaise with his assistant, who is so rude to us, and I even have to change my schedule to suit hers to sign a document which she has forgotten to ask me to sign. Sorry for my ranting...a bit outta topic, sorry about that
  18. My mum just told me that my dead grandfather "came back" last tuesday night. She woke up to go to the toilet and when she stepped out to the living room, she detected a very strong cigarette smell and the smell of my grandfather's hair cream. It was about 2am in the morning...When she woke up again at 5am, the smell is gone... We tried to argue that maybe someone was smoking at the corridor (because hers is a corridor unit), but who would smoke there at 2am in the morning ? We also couldn't explain the smell of the hair cream
  19. Anyone tried Treasury Bills ? Does it provide good returns ?
  20. I've moved in ! Now staying at St 24. Love the convenience of this estate, as compared to my previous flat in sembawang Love Junction 8 and also the library ! Now eagerly waiting for the circle line to be completed, so that 1) more space to walk...It's always so crowded at Bishan MRT station 2) I can take a direct MRT to Suntec !
  21. Hi, Where do you normally store those old newspapers before selling them to garang guni or passing them to the recycling companies ? I've tried the following places: 1) cabinet - too small, cannot accumulate to a large stack 2) storeroom - My storeroom is too small I now put them in a stack beside the shoe cabinet...very unsightly leh....any suggestions ?
  22. I dun face any of the above thankfully...but but but....I sometimes find dried worms (those used to feed the birds) or used tissue on my balcony ! eeeksss The thing is I dun even know which unit is the culprit.
  23. Haha...guess I'm a bit late in replying.... Yes, only follow the auspicious date for the tea cremony day, cos that is the official wedding date. No need to inform colleagues of the 2 days...but need to invite relatives..spread through word of mouth... However, if you have a church wedding and you intend to invite colleagues too, then you'll need 2 invites. And for those jie mei and xiong di who can't even make time to help you in the dinner preparations (because you may need them to come earlier to help you in the setup or coordinate with the banquet manager), dump them !
