Not trying to spoilt market,

but just to let you know that PE charges as low as $XXX-$450.

and it is the same paper that you will get even if you pay more.

of course, if your ID PE charge you $500, can just take it,

just take the price difference as the research and legwork you need not do.

My ID was quite upfront - either I find one on my own (which he said may be cheaper) or I get it through the him (approx $500). I decided to leave it to him. And yes, approval's very fast.

Hi ms_white,

How the reno for your new home coming thru? Did not see any update from your blog, so I suppose should be finishing soon right? your ID seems very professional.. maybe would like you to intro your ID to me..

p/s to all the 79 kakis, wishes everyone a Merrily Christmas!

MERRY X'MAS to Redwyrm and all!

my reno is running at a snail's pace... only 65-70% done. shay_d's gonna call our ID later to haunt him on EHD (expected handover date). supposed to be b4 x'mas...impossible! although we're in no hurry, sian ah...everyday hoping for something to happen...everyday gotta sniff around for clues of progress...

so far, our ID's not bad... but wld suggest u source ard 1st.

Hi, Mapleleaf, I am still looking around for ID. Have your renovation completed?

[meowie49 1]

Collected my keys. hee hee.

No hacking of toilet floor tiles and toilet wall tiles. They make you sign on this paper that states no hacking of toilet floor tiles and toilet wall tiles within 3 years. I confirmed and reconfirmed with the officer. The answer is no, no and NO.

Kitchen floor tiles and wall tiles can hack.

Hi Mapleleaf,

Congratz on taking ur keys....

In my previous post, i did mention this. But, apparently someone said they managed to do it with approval..

Anyway, maybe overlay is still the safer approach and it only makes ur bathroom the most 10 cm smaller

Jo, if this is the case hor. than 1st person shower for instant take 20mins than 2nd person must wait how long than can take shower huh??

M&M, have you confirmed yr ID already?

Hi Hi......I am not a regular here......Just login to check if there are any tips on storage heater. PLease do NOT get CityGas!!! I just installed it because it is free and I begin to regret my decision. The water will only get heated up after you turn on the tap. I need to leave the tap running for 1min in the kitchen before the water is warm. I need to leave the tap running in the bathroom until it fill up half a pail of water before getting warm water. So you can get warm water immediately after the first one shower. But the first person who shower got to let the water run for sometime before you get warm water.

I find it totally unacceptable and call in the citygas maintenance guys. They said they cannot do anything about it cos it is due to the long piping, that's y it take so long to heat up. Well, unless you live in old flats where the toilet is beside the kitchen, I don't think you will have the same issue. According to him, TPY 79 blks, Tanglin Halt and SengKang faced the same issue.

So looking for alternative solution now. What a waste of time.
