so anyway I took a trip to parisilk bedok outlet, the guy there didn't want to suggest anything. He was like 'you go all those superstores and see what exactly you want, email me the model and I'll quote price.'

also ... hdb parking such a pain if you're not season parker. 10.30pm-7.30 one overnight coupon, in the daytime 1x coupon for every half hour, end up dashboard full of coupons =_=

btw silly question. those bamboo poles to hang clothes from hdb ... mana dapat? haven't seen any being sold anywhere also.
*
maximum $10 rule for 24hrs not applicable meh? for those 0.50c/30min carparks, i always buy one booklet of $2 coupons ($10) per day from the 7-11.. (MY registered car, non season)..just enter all start date/time the same will buy you a day's parking till 7.30am tomorrow (i.e. end of night time parking)

bottom line is you do not need to pay like $20+ per day for bolded price carparks.. also watch out that some HDB carparks DO NOT ALLOW non season to park in d night time

Guys,

Need some clarification with regards to credit limit given by banks on your credit card. I have an existing corporate credit card and applied for a personal one 2 weeks ago. I notice the credit limit is not the generic x2.5 to x4 of my basic salary. I remembered asking the credit officer the impact of my corporate CC with regards to this application of which he clarified that they should be treated as independent cases. Now the situation seems to be contradictory.

On a similar capacity, I am planning to apply for a CC from a different bank. How would this be assessed as far as credit limit is concerned? Firsthand experience would be appreciated.

oh i didn't know this rule. actually didn't know anything about hdb parking. drive car in go 7-11 buy coupon, the guy at the counter even more clueless than me. just dumped a few different booklets in my hand and say 'er you read and see which ones you need.' through fluke only deciphered that 10.30-7pm = nighttime = $4, then daytime gotta pay.

my hdb uses a multistorey thing, first 3 floors reserved for season sad.gif

If youre a bit lazy or cant see the fine print then Look at the sign board at the entrance, if lighted means non season pass car can park at night on the white lot with valid coupon. If the sign board is just a flat Metal piece with no ligjting then no night parking for non season pass holder even on the white lot!
