    Cheers~

    I still think its worth the money after all said. What's important is that My sweetheart had a good time, I had a good time, we saw Manta Rays, and that's one "die die must go destinations" checked from my long list.

    :peace::peace::peace:

    That looks like Paradise Island?

    :shock: mi luv ######...

    north or south male atoll is beta for diving???

    reali spoilt for choice dnt noe which resort 2 stay :eyeblur:

    itiz worth e $ stayin at water bungalow?????? so u guyz stay at which resort n itiz good?

    :thanks::thanks::thanks:

    The water bungalows will be a good experience although they cost more. What is important is chosing the kind of resorts that allows you to bath in the open privately !!! i ASSURE you it is a very nice and wonderful experience.

    Actually it doesn't matter on whether you are staying in the north or south atolls, if you intend to go to the best diving sites, your hotel operator will connect you up.

    Try the subs at male too... nice experience, it'll take you deeper than you can physically.

    If you are into fishing, go catch some marlin...expensive though...

    Check the season....there will be manta rays migration and all which is breathtaking...

    If your lugguage is light, bring some mineral bottled water on your own (you will thank me, 3-4 bottles per person) if you are not a beer fan.

    If you can get those small thermos type flask (small ones) you can also bring some specimens home....try the hermits, they are everywhere.

    If you love nature, try South Africa too....especially with the rand moving downwards, your S$ will yield more (you gotta hurry though)

    Purchase of FH condo

    Condo have low, mid and high end ratings. If you have stability for S$8.5k (confidently) combine for the next 10 years then go buy since you are living in it.

    If a condo is desired, then go get the EC (Executive Condo) or lower end condo which one can finance comfortably, range from S$350k to S$500k.

    If you have S$100-S$200k cash at hand, you can safely buy or with your S$8.5k combine salary (is it take home at S$8.5k?) it is ok too.

    Have bbq invite me can? hehhehe..

    Note:

    If you have paid taxes (both of you) then above S$8k salary scale cannot buy HDB flats hehehehe

    Hehe yes... Bang & Olufsen... I'm just trying to point out a few inspirational brands out there... these brands are also emotional... but B&O does have its strength (in design as you mentioned)... perhaps Apple Computer is a better example :lol:

    These companies are 'cultish' in management terms, which is why they survive and sometimes thrive.

    B&O does have its strength, as i mentioned - great looking stuffs (for the common eye). But the great looking does not mean in technical design terms (the function), but maybe for design as in aesthetics, but for audiophiles (the trained eye), the aesthetic design is flawed as it compromises on sound. Then again, there are many other brands out there that bettered B&O in terms of form, function and technicalities.

    Yes, agree Apple will perhaps be a better example. One thing is in common along these brands and the people behind - passion. And yet there is also another which is integrity.

    Yupe the pump maintenance may be an issue... let's see how they will find a solution for that...as for pocket pain... haha... you don't call it a product by Royal Xclusive for nothing ok? You don't expect to walk into a Louis Vuitton boutique and come out with some great bargains... but it is good to see products like this... sometimes they inspire... just like Ferrari and B&O :lol:

    Are you refering to B&O as in the Bang & Olufsen?

    Great looking stuffs, but performance wise isn't quite categorised along audiophile terms.
