I'd rather support SingTel Optus, than Telstra! At least, Optus appears humble and not as much of a gold-digger than Telstra! Telstra is like some consumer giant, waiting to makan all of us in broad daylight!Originally posted by Fatum:and Rhonda helps enrich the living gods of singapore ....

Ya he said we Singaporeans too used to our govOriginally posted by Rhonda:Izzit?!!
Chey! Thought in effect liao, dare not switch on heater, waiting till a pile of laundry accummulates before washing cause dryers use up a lot of electricity... Chey!! 
Even if it is 5% increase, expect some protest on the streets
So he said if he doubles it will be -
You only need to have a lease of 12 months when you first rent the place. Once you have stayed there for 12 months, you can go on a monthly basis. The monthly basis is good only if you are thinking of moving somewhere soon and at least you're not bound to the 12 months lease.Originally posted by Rhonda:So far, no. Cause somehow, the landlord is too lazy to renew the lease of all the tenants in the building. I read the consumer guidebook for tenants and it did state that leasing can continue without renewals as long as there are no changes to the terms and conditions and both parties are agreeable.
Did you and Richard use the heater much? My fingers get icy cold nowadays. End up wearing gloves at home too.
The bad thing about it is that it means the landlord can increase the rental anytime he wants.
We have been turning the heater every night so we will expect a high gas bill this month.
Don't worry about turning on the heater as long as you don't use it unnecessarily. Certain thing you can't avoid spending $$ on. It's not worth it when you get a cold afterwards and can't go to work (loss of income).

err its my hubby who knows how to do it.. he grew up in kampong. quite 'paternal' hruhruhur to see him bottle feeding kitten.. -cackles- so he taught me la.. but i'm not as good as him.Originally posted by Wanda:
Waa....that's something I haven't done and won't want to try! It's difficult taking care of a newborn and there's always a chance they won't make it. Bravo for you!
Eh, how did the other one run away? It happened to my neighbour too...somehow, she had 2 cats that just "disappeared"...no trace downstairs (if they had fallen down) whatsoever.
i bottle fed another one but .. it died. vomited blood all over my hand then died.
two of my cats disappeared.
one my mom saw sleeping in front of the door at 2 am. next morning was gone.
another one managed to open my window (i live corner flat), managed to jump to the corridor my neighbour saw her, then disappeared. We couldnt find her again...
according to my friend in CWS, he says cats sometimes just decide to go. He will feed cats in a certain area then suddenly one would disappear for many months. Sometimes they come back. sometimes they don't.
i only hope they dont fall into the hands of sick abusers. That is the greatest fear. -
If it doubles, I shall join the protest in the streets!Originally posted by elindra:Ya he said we Singaporeans too used to our gov

When they had Bagala workers, the dog population boomed
However when the PRC workers were there, all the dogs disappeared -

Oh goodness gracious! Since moving here, I think I've spent a ton on skincare alone! Thank goodness I don't use the expensive brands otherwise, mati for sure!
I slather them on, esp in winter, where the skin gets dried out so fast! Think in Singapore, I saved more on skincare cause just one thin layer of each stuff will do whereas here, a 50g bottle of cream that I use day and night, think only lasts me a month or so!
In winter, I sometimes use Night creams for day use as well, cause the winds are harsh and drying. -
dman sleepy now...why why is it that everytime i try to sleep earlier, someone will come and talk to me, and end u talking past 2am?

I don't wanna think that my well-fed and well-taken care of Cody is no more!Originally posted by Wanda: -
