hi G-gal,
yes got Vultures and other bigger birds!
and i totally agree with u abt leaving a company... i dun believe in counter-offers also... i always remember tat when in the employing position nowadays... pple who leave normally leave to setup new biz outside... no casualties and we shuld Grow Together at Work so tat we can Build Lives together at Home.
if u wanna buy a car next year, start looking in sep, and buy in oct. if u want earlier, then mar-apr always a good time. currently COE will go up cos there'll be lesser COEs avail, but then it won't shoot up cos alot of pple have done their buying last year, and most are tied down to 3yrs contractual obligations... else, those who bought 2003-2005 will likely be unable to sell their cars becos of the much lower resale caused by low prices in 2006. for current car owners, it's better to buy a 2nd car and drive concurrent 2 cars (if u can afford and there's a need) so tat u can hedge the differing prices.
my best advice for car-buyers is to buy 2nd hand European Cars 2ltr and abv... typically u lose much less than a jap 1.6 new cars and u get greater comfort, luxury and safety!

ah siao.. I think you mentioned somewhere before that you're in IT, no?
powder, you have the right answer!!! Yes, I know I won't be owning a car for a loooong time to come. I still can't understand how some of my hb's colleagues can bear to pay the monthly installments for a continental car or a few k on car mods when they can barely afford to buy a $3 lunch... sigh.

g gal, hmm, maybe u mistaken me for other pple liao lar..me not in IT..told u liao lor, i m a garang guni lor....keke..
well its gd not to have this hobby, cos can really bleed!!..can u imagine spending 20K to 30K on modifying the car, which can be used to reno a 4rm flat good good!!!

In the first place 20K is also too much to spend on the reno of a 4 rm lor... that's how much I spend on my 5 rm!! Ya, I agree that car moding is too ex a hobby.. prefer to spend on a nicer car if got the extra cash so I dun need to mod it further.
Eh, if you really are a garang guni, give me a good price for my old papers and pc parts hor!! I got a lot of junk to discard.. hehehe..

20K for reno is a lot meh??..i was thinking need to cough out min 30K to reno a 4rm, den spend another 20K on furniture n fittings n other appliances like tv etc..
not all cars got rm for modification lar..if u go car show, u should know wat types are usually modified....
aiya, now where got good price for old papers??....y not u give them free to me?..keke

Yours is a 4rm? I dunno a lot abt reno lah, since I only own 1 home! But 20K is enough for our 5rm as the flooring is already done up (ours is design plus). Maybe if you need to do flooring then need 20K? 20K for the furnishing/appliances is also v generous. I think we only spent 10-15K. Dun need to buy all at one go and can wait till sales to buy more expensive items.

Morning People! Had a chaotic day yesterday. Today still chaotic but boss went for meeting, so I eat snake a bit.
Ah siao, thot u want WRX? Now's RX8 har? Hmm... Good choice... Nod head... Been watching my Initial D animes again recently. Actually the RX7 also not bad. But I've never seen them on S'pore roads before leh. & I agree with Powder tat car instalments at 20% of your take-home pay or thereabouts is reasonable. How much u wanna spend on cars & modding is up to u. So long as u can afford it lor.
G~gal, I also spent about 20k for my 5rm resale. It's possible lah. The biggies are mainly kitchen & flooring.

Why do pple like the RX8.. I told you before I sat in my ex-boss' one before.. it's so low and snug.. no elbow room at all. But cute looking lor. WRX is not nice looking.. yeah yeah it's a "performance car blah blah.." but I hate the air vent infront... looks like can vacuum a bird into the engine.. haha.. I prefer a Lexus anyday..
Laundry you also like animes ah?? Cool.. hehe
But I dun watch Initial D.

Auntie, I told u before leh. Sigh... Juvenile dementia. Eheheh... Initial D is a very guy anime. But the cars are very well-drawn. Computer animation. So wat animes do u watch?
As for reno, I guess if u're going to do feature walls all over the place, platforms all over, stylo mylo designer kitchens, then of coz it's going to cost a bomb lor. Erm. But I channeled all my savings from the reno into the furniture & fittings though.

Eh... I dun have dementia hor.. I just dun tend to clutter my mind with unimportant things I like any anime in fantasy, horror or techno/mecha genres, eg 12 Kingdoms, Inuyasha, Saiyuki Reload, Hellsing, Robotech, etc.. K some of these are pretty old but I like old school cartoons lah. Find that nowadays cartoons lack good content....

i did my 4-room reno at 19k, it's quite tasteful to be honest, even have a big buddha head. as for furnishings/appliances i brought some stuff over from my old house and got a DIY-man to refurbish/varnish/re-upholster Everything to a darkwood colour. old furnitures are very well-made and can be refurbished easily... best thing is they take from my old house, and deliver to my new house and i save on shifting! just to give u an idea... for my dining table set, re-upholster is $11 per chair and $8 to tint to darker shade of wood, $19 x 6 chairs, table was around $20. total cost was around $400+ for the dining set and another 6-7 pieces of furniture. Curtains get from JB, the guy will drive to your place and u save half the cost (most of my schoolmates used same guy wayyyy before me). i did the house design with my Designer fren over a sat afternoon in 3hrs (we all sure have an arty farty fren!). else sofa $600, hacking 4walls to build 3walls, Laminate, Grilles etc only 19k. i used company owned by the local president of reno-contractors assoc or something like tat to avoid bullshit, and this fella will Never cheat me cos his reputation worth more than my small business. and it's very unlikely tat he employs shady sub-contractors either.
end of the day, renovate and spend wisely... houses we buy in our 20s/30s Very Unlikely to be our Final or Dream Home... we are VERY LIKELY to sell after 5-7yrs... most sporeans upgrade or will aspire to upgrade. if we dun even know this about ourselves and start budgeting 50k 70k for reno, then our heart will be Pain Pain!

EPL is not car-related!! Geez...
Siao liao. I can juz imagine G~gal asking me for the 20,000th time wat my name is. Hahah.
Ya, I like 12 Kingdoms too. Find it a bit slow-moving but grows on u after some time. Inuyasha ok. Dun like Hellsing leh. The other 2 never watched before. U tried Monster? Eh, watch Naruto leh. The episodes are getting crappier but earlier ones are good.

Eh Laundry, I won't forget your nick but likely forget your real name..hahahaha..
I dun watch Naruto cos I decided not to get into another anime that will drag on for Nth episodes Inuyasha is enuf liao. It does get quite draggy and repetitive after awhile and it's like the ultimate evil is undefeatable. In fact I've finished the whole darn series and my fren tells me there are more episodes that are not "translated" from the comics version... sian. Monster is what?? Monster Rancher? Hehe... Used to watch that lah.. it's actually quite fun to watch. Oh ya the other Kids Central animes that're fun to watch are Card Captor Sakura (too cutesy) and Yugi-oh!

to me chelsea is the most hated team kekeke
wah ah siao! steady lah... same same... last time always kena tekan but other fans... now shiok shiok... i never fail to take a dig at my primary schoolmates who support Liverpool, keke.
Chelski abit too un-english for me liao, not rich in history. Abramovich could have bought Spurs or West Ham if he wanted to... and made it the same as Chelski's current squad in any case...

Omigod! Powder, u can still remember after so many years? Ahahah... Ya, Jang Jung sounds very familiar. Used to think Abbas Saad was cute. Now I slap myself & ask, "wat was I thinking then? Bo standard".
G~gal, cannot escape one lah. Reaching means reaching. Me... Sigh... Haiz... Reaches for walking cane...
