Hi Janette, Missylan and poox,
Just a word of caution. You have to use Sunshield and the mgmt has only approved 2 colours from the list they have. My ID had wanted to use another brand but it was not approved. We managed to find Sunshield's agent no. from one of the flyers (somehow, we can't find them in the www).
Despite the hassle, we find the protective film helpful in cutting out the glare and heat. It also provides a nice hue (greenish) to our windows - which we like pretty much.
I don't have the number at hand now and the cost was abosorbed by my ID since we have already been quoted the price priorly.

Ah eng,
We are in the same boat...got to get back to work today... which is really unfortunate...sigh.. but nvm lah, no point wasting 1 day of leave, since this is the last day of the week and it's surviveable!
btw, I saw on tv that Barang Barang is having sale of up to 50% off. But there's nothing like dat on the website. Is anyone aware of this promotion?

On the sunshield, we bought frosted laminates from the DIY shop, just need to cut to size, add water & stick....pretty economical version if you need to just stick on the kitchen windows to block out nosey neighbours!

Carol,
Mine is a Malaysian whor... No confinement wanna take up my case cos during CNY. I almost resort to hiring private nurse. No choice...
Bigtoes,
I bought frosted film from IKEA for my kitchen. After confinement will need to buy few more rolls cos that time I buoght not enough. Best is to add in a little soap into the water then stick.

Hi Missylan. Yup..there is a small portion of my floor that is blur. This is due to the carelessness of the main con when they were rectifying the defects in my house previously. One of the worker left a paint bucket on the unprotected tile. This left a blur rim as a mark on the tile. This is a common problem with homogeneous tile (i was told) in that if u leave something wet on it for too long..it will leave a mark.
Not much thing we can do except getting the main con to polish again. But the faint mark will still be permanently there. I have covered it up with a water feature.

Hi all, did anyone of u guys encounter tennis ball flying out of the tennis court into the swimming pool? i was at the swimming pool at two different afternoons and saw tennis balls flying to the pool. Once I saw this tennis guy (in a JC T-shirt) came to the pool to pick the ball and faster ran off. Very dangerous if the ball hit the swimmers or the kids.
Corolla,
Think the management now got to put up a notice in the tennis court to say "Please play with care"
I think such incidents only happened to those new tennis players...
Talking about balls flying OUT of the court... I've got to mention something. I realised that we are having more and more inconsiderate neighbours. There are many occasions where I saw litters not properly thrown into the bins provided at the common areas. There are inconsiderate and selfish pple who throw empty cartons oustide the 1st flr lift area or at the basement lift area, sometimes blocking the door leading to the carpark. Since they can bring down the empty cartons, why can't they walk a few more steps and bring it to the rubbish collection centre, particularly for residents at Blks 10 and 12 (since they are so near to the bin centre). And what's worse is that sometimes there are fruit skins such as mandarin oranges and bananas thrown on top of those boxes!! It's so unsightly and reflects badly on the kind of pple living here... Didn't every household have a rubbish chute in their yard? Can't they wrap up their fruit skins and dispose them properly through the right channel? Didn't they have the right mind to know that by such selfish act, they are encouraging the breeding of fruitflies and houseflies...??? And true enough, I have seen a few fruitflies and houseflies flying around last week... I guess soon we will be seeing crockroaches crawling around...thanks to those selfish neighbours

Carol,
my blk here so far only have pple disposing the carton boxes at the basement carpark (which I tot was allowed ...remembered reading at the noticeboard). As for the inappropriate disposal of the fruit skins..Could be the work of non-residents too! ..I realise that there are many 'China relatives' during the housewarming parties tat have been going on.
Btw..PG has a couple getting married today. Saw the wedding car coming in. Congratulations to whom it is!!

Hi,
When the guard calls to inform there is visitors, do they also tell you the visitors name? Realise that they only announce that you have visitors only, and you won't know who they are until they are at your doorstep.
It happen once that the guard called to inform we have visitors, and since we really are expecting a friend to come that day, we replied "ok". However, no one turned up and when we called our friend, he is actually still at home! Wonder who was the person that came in then...*puzzled*

Hi aphrodite,
They didnt even used to call us on the intercom until some residents complained. Now we get calls of "you have a vistor" (no name given) & sometimes they call rather late & the visitor is already outside our main door ringing the doorbell! Guess the guards also have a problem handling so many visitors for the CNY period!
Carol - we get junk in our lifts too,the occasional fruit peels, cardboard boxes etc
hopefully, people will stop throwing junk once they tidy up the lifts (maybe since its still all covered & dirty now, they reckon they can just add to the dirt? haha).
Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Limay,
Hee... I'm sure you and Alex will have a romantic evening together
Btw, one of our neighbours had their housewarming cum birthday celebration (not sure if I got the birthday part right) last evening. One of the guests there turned out to be my colleague. What a coincidence! It's such a small world!!
Is that neighbour in this forum too??

Hi PG neighbours,
Wonder whether you folks have any problem with mosquitoes ? I've been bitten several times by those sickening mosquitoes despite thermal fogging.
Oh btw, do you know how to get rid of the sticky patch on the metal panel near to the stove ?
Somehow after we peel off the plastic sheet, there is still one sticky patch on it. We tried to remove using turpentine but doesn't work leh.
Any advise ?
Thanks

aphrodite,
we alwiz get a 'u got visitors' msg. Yday, my notti fren answered the intercom for me. He picked up the handset and just said okie before the guard speaks..kekeke
Limay,
so if i looked up to ur balcony tonite, can see u and hubb dining there??
Aries,
the intercom is so loud that one ring, we can hear it!
Carol,
U are rite....its a party for a one yr old kid...I saw the wordings this morning. And last evening, I saw BBQ pit2, the pple have catered food and bbq-ing at the same time.....good idea indeed!
Kelly,
turpentine works for me.

I think we have got to complain again about the security again. They cannot assumed that anyone who can gives an unit number is presumbly a guest of the resident here (just like aphrodite's incident). My friend came last Sat and commented that he could easily get in "just like that". He said some condos' security guards even need them to register or deposit their ICs with the guards before they could enter... I think that's a good idea. Then they can monitor who enters / leaves PG.
Not sure if you all notice this as well...Most of the time, there will be a guard sitting near the BBQ area at Block 12, supposedly to screen for authorised entry by non-residents coming in from the side gate. However, on many occasions I noticed that the guards is either dozing or back facing the side gate... then wat's the purpose of them sitting there? They look redundant to me...

Hi Kelly,
You can try oil. I usually use cooking oil to remove the sticky remains of stickers. It works. Just rub it in, leave it for a while, and then wipe off. Read that in a mag last time.
Hey Carol!
Will reply you here, instead of through sms. my hair is much better now. Did not do de-ionizing becos it is not a hair-not-straight problem. Kimage said that my hair is totally dead. Did moisture care instead. After that, cut off most of my hair. now hair v short, but I quite like it. Am thinking that I should not have done the treatment actually, since all my bad hairs are cut off.. waste money... total cost $150 ah.. heart pain...

Nutty,
No leh, at first flooring is shiny one, then dunno why some area became blur. No leh, dun leave water on surface leh. Dunno how come it appear!?!
Any super good floor detergent which will shines the floor?
EIG,
One advice: Do hair treatment whenever you got the time at home(best is once a week). Cheaper this way. U can buy big bulk of good hair treatment(Kerastase orange serie is good), cover the treated hair with shower cap for 30mins. Me lazy, very long no do hair treatment liao. Whenever you want to do hair colouring, do a colour treatment instead of plain colouring.

Hey Ah Eng - hehe...yah, we are actually intending to dine at the balcony tonite! dont want to pay atrocious prices at restaurant, & the balcony quite romantic at nite
But dont look at us hor, wait paiseh.
hehe...we left the blue sheet on the panel beside the hob. Didnt bother to even peel it off!
Guys, btw - we found a cheaper home loan refinancing package, if anyone is interested. Its with Citibank, floating rates with 1 yr locked in only & v attractive, esp. with their cash mgt account with pays interest on deposit at 2/3rd the interest on our loan. With the cash back offseting the legal subsidy, we are not even paying for legal/admin fees for the transfer

ah eng,
I did that once at Amrita Spa steam room... hahaha... I brought my treatment cream and steam...
Hi ladies,
I will strongly recommend Shunji Matsuo(director) for hair cut. I used to have pretty long hair, wanna a change. He gave me a short Jap style. I kinda like it. Hair colouring is expensive there... I go else where for colouring. To me, colouring is all pretty the same.
