The Independent SG Follow Couple’s ‘BTO starter pack’ to suss out defects impresses netizens Story by Anna Maria Romero • 4h ago Couple’s ‘BTO starter pack’ to suss out defects impresses netizens© The Independent Singapore Couple’s ‘BTO starter pack’ to suss out defects impresses netizens© The Independent Singapore SINGAPORE: Before a newly-married couple moved into their BTO (Built-To-Order) flat, they were prepared, bringing all sorts of things they needed to inspect it. And when we say “prepared,” we mean they were more than ready to suss out all the possible construction defects of their new home so they can truly make it a home. The @careful couple shared their “BTO starter pack” in a TikTok that has since gone viral. Here is a list of all the items the couple found useful. A combination bike lock—for security and to give construction staff access when they need it. Portable chairs—for resting. (Flaw detection is tiring work). An electric fan—to keep cool on these hot, hot summer days Painters tape and permanent markers—for pointing out where flaws and defects are A tile tapping rod—for checking hollow tiles An electric torch—for checking the consistency of paint color in hard-to-see areas A measuring tape—for measuring (duh) A phone charger—for testing electrical sockets Door stoppers—for stopping doors (again, duh) A foldable pail—for pouring water into different places around the flat to make sure drains are working and that there is no flooding A step ladder—for reaching high places And old rags and wet tissue—for needed clean-ups. In the couple’s previous TikTok video, they showed the defects they saw in their flat, such as debris in the drainage pipe, a loose handle in one window, squeaky windows, a leaky shower, one hollow tile, hairline cracks in the ceiling, and other flaws. They certainly made use of their painter’s tape, as each flaw was clearly marked. “Still loving our home though,” said the couple, who married only a few months ago after having dated for ten years, with the past four being long distance. /TISG

Mahamoodiya’s Prata is my favourite stall

The above is still my favourite Prata stall with the one opposite Simpang Bedok… Below: Thasevi Food at Jalan Kayu is still there. But not my best… On a Thursday morning of 18th May, from 7am till now 7.45am very quite. Only 3 to 4 customers…if I am not mistaken, shop space has also shrunk to one unit. In fact, Thohirah, is more popular, given that it is next to a public car park! Opposite neighbours… most likely enbloc…

Good morning on 13 May 2023

Hi Sifu Cecil, u been to Parc Greenwich b4? How do u find the surrounding fengshui? FYI, bought a unit there based on ur valuable inputs

And also change the cooking gas stove to induction any concern for me. Thanks In the past taboo not to use with flames. But for the last 12 years, no major taboos. And since then many clients do use induction only. Not all… but many

As I mentioned, that there are three parts in the Art & Science of House Hunting / Can or Cannot Buy. You are asking me on the basis of bits and pieces of information to provide you an answer. Furthermore, how can also also make a decision on one photo. In addition your additional description and concern of floodings was just injected into this thread. Frankly, in doubt, then do think about it seriously. It is your call.

These are some considerations:- 1. Assuming that entrance with the two toilets beside it is the frontage of this home, it is considered inauspicious under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 2. Under the Chinese Ba gua trigram, NW belongs to the Head (male breadwinner) and a toilet or toilets (if any) are inauspicious at this sector. 3. In addition, the Art & Science of Feng Shui is based on a Holistic approach consisting of three parts:- Part 1 = How suitable is the unit - Frontage, Kitchen & Main Bedroom? 30 marks Part 2 = How is the luck of the Interior Feng Shui of this unit? 35 marks Part 3 = External Feng Shui luck? 35 marks + The Overall score/grade [Total = 100 marks].

Master Lee, thanks so much for your valuable advice..really appreciate it

I like your style to put stars for good sectors, and red on danger sectors. unlike other FS masters who only highlights missing corners in floor plan.

Can I put this kind of Queen bed in Master room? Due to lack of storage. I know that loft bed is not recommended but this is the lowest kind of storage bed I searched, to accommodate our clothes. Previously around many years ago, a new client at The Bayshore called me down. And his skin was bitten badly. So we went into his master bedroom. And when he opened the drawers of the bed, the bed was infested with bed-bugs etc... That development had like a 1,000 units and many with pet dogs. So most likely he might have caught it from them. Based on common sense... with four legs, can easy be cleaned and visible In Summary 1. In the past, several years ago, a recent customer at The Bayshore summoned me for assistance. His skin had been severely bitten. We proceeded to his main bedroom, where we discovered that the bed was infested with bed bugs when he opened the drawers, etc... That complex consisted of approximately 1,000 units, many of which housed pet dogs. It is highly probable that he contracted the infestation from them. Using logic, a bed with four legs are easily identifiable and can be cleaned effectively.

From Day 1, we share your concern We will never sell you any products! ++++++++++ +++++ Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store in disguise Beware: Even those who claim to have a Feng Shui lineage are equally guilty of this Ask: "Must I buy from you?" Find out more...

Is my existing house or potential new (re-sale) home still lucky today?
