Haha yeah thanks bro! My ICT is on 19 Jan 2010 (High Key) You got kena too? or another batch?

1) Shercjw 2) twinklestarzz 3) Stormcontrol 4)Roy777ong 5)Yeoman 6)meowie49 7)M&M 8)Dracula Meowie, received ur MMS. Why u send MMS? waste money leh... SMS cheaper. hehe

Hehe.. maybe can ask some good neighbour to cook and you can pay them for home cook food. We tried doing some cooking, but ended up washing tons of plates, bowls and utensils.... eat outside would be cheaper but not so healthy ah. I know Meowie cooks. Oops.... I have seen him too.... without fail will always be there... anyway i feel that the benches placed there is the stupidest idea anyone can come up with... is it for ppl to sit and wait for the lift or for ppl to study or wat is it for? does not seem to be for a reason except for them to sleep for the night in a nice cosy hidden corner of the block. Erm.... when you say world class neighbourhood, i hope you not saying its Sink-a-poor ah.... its really a disgrace telling ppl we are a world class country when our service sector are worst then some 3rd world country... Recently went for some shopping and it seems that the foreign talents have a better and friendlier service then locals in many areas. One of the worst was at Changi Airport.... when they stare at you like u gonna steal something and start to run, did not even bother to service you if they know u are local. WTF??? When i was in Taiwan, wow.... even the road side shops staff have better service and will even greet you regardless if you wanna purchase any thing from them.... Their service is really very good. Wonder when will locals start to wake up their idea... no wonder jobs are being given to our neighbouring citizens. Well thats all for the complaint... Hehehe...

Hi Alister, Why dun you ask them to put speed regulating strips instead of humps? Put more strips both before and after the traffic light along Central ah. Can give it another shot.

Hi stormcontrol, Welcome to blk 79 I am living in a 75sqm home, my reno cost is different as i did custom built for everything including the bed frame and wardrobe. Anyway for a nice and affordable cost, my guess is @$20,000 to S$25,000. If budget, can go all the way to S$15,000. Depends what flooring type you choose, ceiling, lights, any special bed you wanna buy, sofa cost, TV size, etc. Regarding your household shelter question, I did a feature wall to conceal the whole door as I dislike the look of it. My bed head is also facing the window while feet is facing the wall, but mine is hacked wall of MBR and rm 2. My bed is in Rm 2 while wardrobe is in MBR with the toilet. Happy renovating.

Just checking if anyone wants right inner swing door (bedroom) without any handles and hinges before i dispose of it.

Have not tried the prata, but the mix vege rice is not too bad for a decent lunch.

hmm... Happy "牛" (Niu) Year 2009! I think by right it is not suppose to have condensation even though you are using a freezer in your room. The "sponge" covering the aircon piping should have resistance against the condensations forming while ur freezer is switched on. Tension, do you switch on your fan while ur "freezer" is on? If you do, try not to ah. Tats a suggestion from my aircon installer.

Haha.... this one is so true man!!

Yeah.... same same. I was almost hit while walking on the pavement and the worse of it is they still can horn at me.... KNN! Was so furious, wanted to report to the police but after reading ur post I guess the mata can do nuts about it but play "Tai Chi" again.

Finally the lifts in 79E have been stripped off the ugly looking wooden walls and flooring to reveal its true form. Can see the mirror and "Hiao" already Hehe...

Booklice is almost impossible to get rid of, the only way i read was to keep the place dry and free of books, papers and boxes. Until today, it is still lurking around and have welcomed them as part of our family... Hehehe...

I have my WIW from Closet Design built just beside the toilet similar to the layout above with Laminate flooring and Ventilation fan in the toilet. For the past 6 months there is no problems except Booklice found in the WIW due to the moisture, so i added a few of those cheap non electrical dehumidifier's around the WIW to see how it will help. Most important is to always open your sliding door when you are done and when you are out of the house to air the WIW, and always on the ventilation fan during and after ur bath for about 30mins before switching it off to remove as much moisture as possible. DO NOT close the toilet door to prevent moisture, ur toilet will stink when you wanna open the door and use it. I attached a few pictures for u to see, may not help much too. WIW with the toilet inside (on the right side) TOILET IS HERE Ventilation Fan (in the toilet)

The mentality of our local Matas are if nobody is injured, please DIY and write in to the other relevant authorities which will in-turn "Tai Chi" with u. If someone is injured and not too serious, please call 995 and wait for them to come, if someone is injured seriously or dead then call the Matas. Otherwise we juz got to be extra careful and look left and right whenever you walk on pavements, crossing the traffic lights or especially zebra crossing.

The very most important thing is that if you have any CPF grants from them, take note that you need to be legally married before they will release the keys to you. Otherwise you will be making an empty trip on that day, if your ROM is anywhere after the key collection day do inform your officer in advance so that they can help in drafting an undertaking letter for you to sign on the day itself. If no grants, then dun bother about the above. Other then that, remember you can go earlier then your said appt time to get your keys earlier. It is base on first come first serve to whom ever is earlier unlike the 1st appt. Got to sign alot of "dunno wat is written on the letters" upon collection, like signing for autograph sessions. Hehe... And welcome to the Free-fallers union block 79. Our motto: "Where everyone comes for a free falling time." Hehehe... oops! Wah! so fast come again? or you never pay for your tax? Why got late payment? The gahmen not enough money after lost in Lahmen Blooders ah..... blood suckers! Try to go home after 7.30pm should be alright. Sometimes the power will trip for the lobby area during night time, so do prepare for a dark feeling once in a while, there will still be minimal lights there. Always look left and right and back and the stairways before walking towards your unit and opening the doors for precautions during the day and night. Welcome to the 79 neighbourhood soon to be neighbour!

Congrats roy777ong! You can actually write a nice lovely letter to your officer to urgently collect your keys to your home with reasons being you wanna use your home for your big day. Renovation will normally take 6 weeks after drawings is final. Hope it helps. Good luck Congrats yvonnetham on your new home to-be soon! Which block did you get? 75sqm or 90sqm?

Wow... ware did you get such good stuffs? Care to share share?

Hi, our BS is Bridal Concept and the package starts from $3288 with everything u need from gowns, to MUA, to wedding cars. Their overall service was good and photography is fantastic. You can pop by and discuss with them, my photos is still in the process of laying out so am not able to show it to you. Anyway congrats and happy hunting

Hey Jacky, I only did some homework before deciding on the suitable tv ah. Anyway the few I would not personally recommend strongly is Philips, Sharp, Panasonic. But if you like the colors and vibrancy then just get it.

Haha... too bad I cannot even see macritchie from my place loh, only can see the roof of the block at the back. I using samsung LCD series 4 ah, overall not too bad ah. It actually depends on what series and model you are comparing Samsung with Sony, to me the only difference I can visually notice is the color vibrancy when watching DVD. If watching TV only, it is all the same.... If you compare a HD ready with a Full HDTV then the difference in resolution would be 720dpi and 1080dpi, unless you are watching HDTV programmes or Blu-ray disc the difference will not be that great. Another thing to notice is the bigger the TV, the more the pixels will be interpolated and stretched accordingly, thats why you will see the blurrness in certain areas of the TV programme. If you compare directly a 32 inch LCD with a 40 inch LCD side by side playing the same TV programme, you will then notice that the 32 inch is much sharper and clearer (even the subtitles below). Also take note of LCD vs Plasma, there is a difference in electrical consumption and heat emitted from the TV (including harmful UV's). Good luck in TV hunting... Hope I did not get any of the explanation wrongly

Mine is 4rm at Toa Payoh. They charge me $700 for 3rms + Kitchen - 2 x 3 panel window - 2 x 2 panel window I guess maybe its on the high side? Anyway the bottom part is given by HDB, so its not included in the quote.

I think you better call HDB officer to check on this, as it involves a case by case basis on your situation. New job for the both of you would be a little more complicating and they may see your 2-3 years of CPF contribution for an average monthly sum for calculation of your loan.

Hi, I got mine from Central Aluminum - Jasmine 63683313

You can get it from Shanghai Tong Lee at Textile Centre. Cheap and good.

You can get a normal sized one from Spotlight at Plaza Sing, I just got mine from them few days ago. Total is about S$100 to S$140 (+/-) each DO take note that for very soft feeling, 2 bean fillings is enough. For normal feeling, 3 bean fillings is enough. For hard feeling, 4 bean fillings is maximum. Hope it helps
