DS_Gerl.. e 1st 1 had reply..

tulips.. whic MP i should approach for help? coz htb & i r staying different area n we r buying flats in sk & punggol area..

xfz.. dun get too stress up.. drink more water & do more mask =)

 

[annisan]

xfz> today as usual, meet 7pm outside mac k... dont get stress up... try to slp early and drink more water...

 

[sparkless]

amanda - while stanchart has the best rates for 1st yr, their 2nd and 3rd yr is not fixed. we went for maybank with 3yr lock-in, average of 2.3% p.a


fairlady - i think it makes no difference, if u go to your MP or his MP.

 

[darrelandgeri]

mooooorrrrrning ...

on leave today. my parents are in australia holidaying, so i'm at home cleaning and washing clothes and such.

Thomas > yup. my wife quit. cos her situation is such that after we take the keys, she can go back to the same job.

xfz> jittery right ! *starts passing out arrows*

 

[thommy]

HFL: u can approach either ur MP or his, doesn't matter.

darrel: is that her company's arrangement or she requested for it? that's very nice of them if that's their arrangement...

pity I can't ask my wife to quit like u...sigh

 

[darrelandgeri]

thomas > she asked her boss about it. its a small local company, so easy to talk.

 

[irritant]

Hi ladies (and gentlemen if there's any)!

If you are interested in making a cute and personalised Just Married plate, email me at [email protected] for samples and prices.

 

[rainbowgal23]

Hi tulips... thanks for the advice. we hv yet to decide if we want to take up Stanchart yet. Today is to find out on the loan details.

 

[stellareis]

Alicia > hey im at jurong west st52! how about yourself? WEST SIDE!

 

[stellareis]

dsgerl > guess i should try my luck on that contest as well..ahahah although im not the best person at that...

 

[deerixp]

thanks HFL. =)

 

[shingirl]

be it private or hdb........ stamp fee can use CPF.......

 

[darrelandgeri]

visha > my friend bot a condo recently, and he told me his stamp duty have to pay cash first, after that, claim back from CPF. Wanna know if this is the case for HDB.

So technically, can use CPF. I just wanna know if i need to set aside the cash to pay cash upfront and claim later. a 5 digit figure isn't really something i have in my pockets all the time these days =(

 

[mspiggy85]

morning everyone... finally gt a chance to log in..

 

[happy106]

Morning all.. I bought 2 TV from PC show.. One Sony for living room and LG for MBR..

Hi to all the newcomers..

DS_Gerl> Went to C&T.. Package is not bad, but a bit ex.. The animation is very nice and sweet.. The $2800 only have half a day of VG.. Still prefer the Dreamz Espresso package.. But I prefer another photographer's PG.. So most prob going for another PG..

Darrel> Happy searching for your home sweet home.. I used CPF to pay for my HDB as well.. You will need a lot of 5 digits for your home and reno.. Good news is that the owners dun require much COV now.. Some even under value..

 

[rainbowgal23]

Darrel&Geri>we paid the stamp duty & legal fees via CPF.

 

[xiaofeizhu83]

Morning ALL!!

Finally can come in for a short short break...
Hopefully one of my colleague is coming back as scheduled tml so that I won't feel so cham...

[darrelandgeri]

i think instead of using arrows ... i should invest in a catapult.

[happy106]

Thomas> Yah.. Not cheap.. But I like him and a few of my friends engaged him.. So more discounts..

Now my reno is more or less settled, must catch up on my wedding planning.. Or else no PG/VG for my date liao.. hee

 

[xiaofeizhu83]

Booy - I see... me bought 40" Samsung... now looking ard for furnishing hehe... where you bought your funitures and household appliances? Can recommend? Me clueless abt all these now...

 

[thommy]

booy: I see...happy searching then hehe...heng I settled mine also. Deerixp is with them also...

so fast reno settled? that's good news indeed

 

[agone]

thomas: eh paiseh

it's a really long story..haha..summarised version of it is in-law problems..haha..so now, we opted for no chinese dinner, no gatecrashing, simplify everything to minimise contact with them. but we will be doing up the church wedding and the luncheon after. you can consider it more westernised i think. tell u more on msn when i see you

xiaofeizhu: hmm i think you can check out renotalk forums too, they have some user recommendations/reviews on appliances that are worth buying..in my fiance's current apartment we bought a few appliances based on their recommendations. worked out quite well.

 

[mspiggy85]

ds_gerl: haha ic ic.. actually my whole mind is still on the hot pink CS. hahaha

 

[happy106]

XFZ> It depends on what you are looking for.. Price vs aesthetics..

For cheaper places for furnishings, you can try Sungei Kadut area.. IFC, IMM and Furniture Mall are good places to start with because many many stores are there.. Brands like Novena, Brighton and many more like Mode, Avanni are all there.. Try to avoid Nova.. A lot of bad comments.. For nicer furnishing, I find that Evov and OM are good with decent pricing..

As for electronics, I find that Gain City prices are decent.. Places like Harvey can bargain.. And you can use credit card to earn points and rebates.. Or try neighbourhood ones like Goh Ah Bee, Ban Kim Chuan, Euromart and Mega Discount store.. You can call them to ask for the pricing.. If you buy more things, can ask for more discounts of course.. usually they dun welcome CC..

My things are all bought from various places because I can't find many things that I like from one place.. I bought some electronics from the recent Phillips sale, mattress from Expo Reno show and many more everywhere..

Renotalk is a good place to look for reviews if you are unsure..

Thomas> I already find it slow because my house is a move in condition.. Only touch up and change a bit of things.. I already lost 3kg, can almost see my bones liao.. haha..

 

[thommy]

agone: oh dear...sorry to hear that...tot u resolved ur prob with them liao. Ok tell me more if I'm online ba

booy: u sound like an expert now on reno sia...hahha...me member of renotalk also kekeke

lost 3kgs just by doing reno?!?! wow that's even better than dieting/exercising leh...hahhahaha

 

[shingirl]

haha....... i oso seldom talk here cos my eyes in renotalk talk nowadays.........lol........

darrel: for the stamp fee in condo..... need not use cash first........ can deduct from cpf...... however nowadays no ppl use cpf first..... mostly they use cash....... for me i use cash becos the interest rate for private housing is 1.5% or 1.6% first year........ so we did not use our cpf at all(need to use at least 1k for legal purposes)...... so in the second year when the interest rate raises above cpf saving rate, then we will transfer all the cpf money into the loan.....

 

[agone]

thomas: ya i also thought it was sorted. scarlee..can drag from dec to may. heh. how is your FW coping now?

booy: where's your new home at?

 

[happy106]

Thomas> Seeing reno things day in day out.. But I'm still not expert lah.. Then you can visit my blog at renotalk.. What's your nick?

Think I lose weight a bit too drastic.. but it's really tiring..
