  1. juz wondering, who appointed the board of directors? seems like for ms maltida case, she was recommended by a colleague of durai and he accepted. hmm no wonder the board gave him everything... cos he put them there. i scratch ur back, u scratch mine. oppss i may be sued. but what the heck, it is a chance to engage davinder and get more worms out in the open hahahaha
  2. if u not going for classy furniture, ie those italian made sofa, etc go novena or nova etc. dun pay too much for furniture cos when time to get rid of them, no value one. if u pay low, at least can change furniture often. that is my policy nowadays. reno contractors also depends on your house design. if u like classy arty farty type, then have to pay liao. i like normal plain setup and i juz design some parts myself so i got a normal hdb contractor to do for me. one thing bad about my contractor is i got to chase him to collect money krkrkr first flat, chase for 1 month then he come collect. current place, chase for 2 weeks! very unlike others. got one contractor, ask for 1k deposit juz to sign up with him! i asked him F off.
  3. smu??? found out that toshiba is not among the successful tenderer this time round so only left ibm and fujitsu. go for tablet but screen a bit small. i still prefer tablet cos can scribble, etc. dun need pen and paper liao. dun get mac etc cos you will be one of those oddballs who cannot connect to the wireless lan and you may be forced to use vpn secure connection since encryption using wep or .1x is not supported on mac. if u wanna get ibm, hold back juz a little cos a technology refresh is coming, so for the same price, you get the highest end cpu... gonna happen soon i think. heard it from ibm due to intel cuting prices for their highest end chip.
  4. smu promotes advanced learning methods and using notebook in a high tech classroom setup is juz one of the many examples. that being said, a tablet is best. lenovo (was ibm) is normal screen while toshiba and fujitsu are tablets. you should get from smu since they package office, av, etc all in for the price you see. i personally prefer toshiba but am using a fujitsu rite now. suggest you compare both and put weight as priority. smu city campus has lots of power points so u can plug in anytime for power if ur bat runs low. ibm and fujitsu has on-site engineers so if there are serious problems, you can get it checked out faster than toshiba. all come with 3 years warranty and by the time you graduate, the notebook can sell as scrap metal liao. technology moves too fast...
  5. i thot ur collection was only 2??? u not normal huh
  6. then latio is the car for u. get the sports version, which is better in looks so can impress a bit. lots of space inside for your size/weight. oso fc friendly. dun be fooled by nissan poor fc reputation cos this is new engine, new technology, new design. better fc than altis!
  7. bro, im like u but not as old but after taking into considerations all the aspects like fc, space, comfort, affordability, performance, blah blah blah i ended up with latio. hahaha compromised on the looks a bit (but i dun really care for looks). pickup can fight altis, beat sunny, ciak lancer kekeke bros who drive sunny, im pretty sure u can beat lancer. juz becos lancer peak torque at 2750rpm does not mean u cannot ciak them. u juz need to hit 4000rpm quickly can already. but the first few metres u will be lag... so dun worie, juz go for it. u will overtake before the next traffic light. go try kekeke but drive safely
  8. i thot the new version is quite nice??? in fact, most people i know is waiting for it. for sedan, civic is the best choice but why not consider hatchbacks??? more sporty and nice. price around 70-72k for latio sports, which i find it better looking that others in its category and fc friendly. big and roomy interior as well.
  9. bro, u tried both before? i race u... u take lancer, i take sunny. confirm u sure smell my smoke go test drive and u will know what is on paper is different from actual. i juz helped test drive a few cars for my cousin. lancer is the most cmi of the 55-65k range cars of jap cars.
  10. suggest you try driving both to feel the performance cos im pretty sure the lancer is weaker than sunny... lancer pros: better looking, esp with body kits better fc more road feel lancer cons: loud engine weaker performance rough and hard ride expensive servicing at c&c sunny pros: comfortable ride lower price good and cheap after sales warranty and service package more power and performance sunny cons: higher fc but not as bad as the pre fl n16 not as swee as lancer pros and cons are based on comparison between lancer cvt/manual and sunny auto/manual.
  11. since we adopted it, can we go and harvest from it???
  12. my reason was space and environment... this is subjective since each has their own tolerance for comfort and mess. equipment wise, u need at least a footprint of at least 8x2 if u take into consideration a sump, chiller, skimmer, cr, fr, etc. then u need good ventilation for chiller and mh lights. in addition, lights from marine tank may be too bright if put in living room area so how??? i have seen many reefers who keeps their tanks even in their room but my tolerance is low for such matters. even on a normal day, i already cannot stand the heat, talk about all those other heat sources from marine tank! and i seldom see a marine tank in a neat house due to equipment everywhere. even if it is neat, it probably occupies a large area like a room (think AT). and with govt building 3 bedrooms flats only, assume you have 2 kids, is there any place left??? so i sacrificed my reef tank for a more comfortable living. it is all about priorities in life and unfortunately, marine is not ranked top 3, after all, it is just a hobby. cheers!
  13. it is not that they dun want to get married but juz think of how their lives will change after marriage... 1. look after husband 2. look after kids 3. no more ###### cos she is faithful but hubby prefer to "eat outside" 4. no more outings, either to pubs or with friends 5. no more shopping cos money goes to family expenses blah blah blah being single means she can 1. look after herself only 2. no kids! 3. more ###### cos single and can get any guy she wants! 4. daily outings cos no other commitments 5. daily shopping cos what she earns is for herself blah blah blah for men, marriage means 1. no more doing housework (not that we do cos mum does it!) 2. got kids but no need to look after (got "maid") 3. more ###### cos can get laid 3 weeks out of a month for free. still got money to "eat outside" 4. still can go out to pubs cos wife will not tag along due to looking after kids 5. still can spend on hobby like marine keeping cos wife supporting family expenses see??? no wonder men are desparate wherease women are not.
  14. i always feel that a couple should foot the bill together and all angpows go to them. no parents (both sides) should be involved... how many tables for each side is up to the parents to invite but since the couple is keeping the angpows, it does not matter rite??? thats for wedding dinner... as for bride money, juz pay a reasonable sum. im sure the girl would not want the guy to be flat broke after marriage rite??? if her parents demand a ransom figure, then say bye bye to the girl. u are marrying for love and so should she and if her parents cant see that and see agrees with them, i dun think she is worth it. oh by the way, my bride money was $0, dinner held in malaysia. my parents foot everything, including expenses for my in law to travel from sg to my. since my parents foot everything, they kept all the angpows. in the end, my parents juz took back their investment and the "profits" was given to us. this way, both my wife and myself start off our new life "debt free" and with some pocket money. both parents on each side dun gain a thing except the happiness of their child getting married. fair rite? but hor... my parents, in laws, wife and myself are chin chai type of people, hence we can able to come to such arrangements.
  15. it does not work this way leh... ur dad experience is probably due to the dumb sales person, nothing to do with card legitimity, etc. when u charge to a card, as long as the swipe goes thru, the shop does not care anymore. unless it is an offline swipe but only up to signature matching and/or proof of identity. why??? too long to explain but if u r keen to know, do ur own read up and research, more satisfying
  16. external timer can only control power to the light set, not the individual switch mah... thats the difference but im not so fussy about that part. juz the price
  17. this unit with or without timer? how many switch? what colour temp are the bulbs and how used for how long? what colour are the pl tubes?
  18. im afraid the heat from mh will crack the glass cos i dun intend to hang it high up... juz like a few inches away from water... can PM me ur best price?
  19. whats the length of space between the 2 mh bulb??? ie the space occupied by the ballast? cos my tank got a centre brace and the mh light cannot be too near it, else it will crack.
  20. letting go at $85 cos i dun want it to sit around collecting dust. oso sian 1/2 to see it there cos paid $115 for it and cannot use
  21. no wonder u r the buaya king... like this oso can!
