gantan88 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 My friend is a super fussy customer, so far never hear her complaint about this painter at her mom place. So i believe quite not bad. on the contrary, she has been complaining abt her own ID, seems the painter at her mom place is better than those from the ID Yes need to buy your own paint, so the uncle will just paint for you. I think they took 3 days to finished the 5rm flat. Her mom did supervise the job, cuz all their belongings are in the house. Let me check with her again. what else u want to know? Hi Charemme, 3 days to paint a 5-rm at $80 daily sounds really good! Even plus the price of paints, i dun think it will add up to $1,100 which my ID quote me. Now i begin to wonder is it a reap-off or what because most ID quote $1,000 or $1,100 for painting 3-rm.... PM me the contact so that i can consider! Is the supervisor a local? Chinese or other ethnic group? Btw, the ID that you have engaged, i have filtered them out during my ID selection process. Hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will keep it for now first, not sure if there will be any implication or inconvenience if i engage my own painter and not my ID one. But the price difference is substantial lo... The ID... i can't remember their name liao, they come in a pair, one guy one girl, the girl very sure a malaysian because of her accent. The guy drives a Lexus.

gantan88 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 hey congrats! i jz got my keys.. my hubby jz told me abt the pineapple rolling thingy. also something abt throwing rice and salt at every corner of the house to ward off evil spirits.. anyways, we getting a FSM, so will get him to tell us wat to do.. Ya.. rice and salt and something like that, i think the procedures or 'ritual' differ from person to person, but pineapple confirm must roll! I did not engage a FSM but did some reading up... but can be quite sian because 3 room so small, so for e.g. if the stove has to be there, it has to be there, if you move it somewhere else because of FS, then the design will look weird and you dun get efficient use of space too... Maybe i will consider to engage one also... u engage the FSM to see FS for one-time move house or 1 year / 5 years or 10 years into the future? Got this kinda package right?

gantan88 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Manage to gather some info from few of my colleagues on the 'ritual' for making the first entrance to your house... just like to share them here, for info only, i dun guarantee the correct-ness of the procedures. Roll pineapple into your house before you enter the house before doing any other things! Scatter some rice and salt in all the rooms. This is to ward of evil spirits. Once you have scattered, leave the room and do not enter the room again. Then have to pay respect to 土地公. Burn joss sticks with meat/roasted pork, some biscuits, oranges. Do this last, outside the house at the entrance. Then leave the house for 3 days, do not enter. We can also go to those shops that sell Chinese prayer stuffs and tell them you are moving into new house and they will show you the things needed, all in a pack. Few dollars only. I have collected my keys today. Edited November 13, 2009 by gantan88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
