    • RE: Rental questions

      Funz:
      Because the condo or the flat is in the landlord's names, maintenance or conservancy fees will be charged to the landlord even if the unit is rented out.


      Guess like what slmkhoo mentioned. If you get tenant to pay, then they will negotiate to lower rent.

      As mentioned, I think always better to take care yourself and not have tenant pay. Cannot control if tenant pays late or not at all. Why take the chance?

    • RE: Brainfit Studio - Discussion

      sigh, marketing people just don't understand la. Sometime when you have 1 yr old, you want to go to sleep at 11pm or earlier but crying baby at 1am, how can one sleep? Ignore it? Any parent can tell you sleep cannot be controlled with new born, la. Brainfit marketing must not understand baby sleep schedules!


      Thank you limkochua for that info. Public company cannot hide financials as well as private company. Private company can come here to post anything they want and we cannot confirm la. So, be careful fellow members when companies come here to post that company healthy, around for a long time blah, blah.

      Article in New Paper the other day show even company like California Fitness-around for 20 years can disappear with our money overnight la. Reminder that anytime you pre-pay for services, you risk losing some or all your hard earned money if company suddenly close. Good reading and reminder for fellow members.

    • RE: Homeschooling your child?

      Homeschooling really depend on environment and commitment of parties involved. Parent must be disciplined and child must be receptive to homeschooling. Have friends who tried, one stopped working to commit to children and another tried for one year and couldn’t take it. Must be aware of one’s capabilities lah.

    • RE: All About Supplements for Children

      Just be careful lah.


      Many supplements are meant to supplement not replace nutrients from a diet. Proper diet is key.

    • RE: Advice on DECT phones

      [quote]Just go buy new AAA batteries.


      We had same problem with Panasonic DECT. After several years use, went flat after just one day standby. Talk time got shorter and shorter too. Husband went to Sim Lim and bought 2 new AAAs (Sanyo Eneloops not Panasonic brand) for each handset. Now lasts over a week on standby and several hours of continuous talk.[/quote][quote]Are you serious? Can last so long? My Siemens on Recycko AAA batts, can last max one day on standby, and it will go blank the moment you answer any call…

      How many maH is the Eneloops?[/quote]Yes, serious. Eneloops are only 800mah.

      Don't believe...you can try on one handset first and see if it lasts longer. If it does buy more for other handsets too. Otherwise, just use nice Eneloops for some other device that uses AAA.

      Also, do not put handset back into base after each call. Wait for the phone tell you it needs recharging. Will make batteries last longer.
