Interlude: I bet you did not know this! Often, I am always very curious to find out a certain word... General Knowledge: What does GRAND mean in French? 1. Whistler Grand, Piermont GRAND, Sengkang GRAND Residences? Where all three developments are by the developer CDL (a subsidiary of Hong Leong). 2. While the English meaning of GRAND could also mean Luxurious or Luxury. 3. The French has a totally different meaning all together. 3.1. The adjective for GRAND in French is: Great, large, big, wide, high. 3.2. In the past, Renault has two versions of their Scenic. The larger 7-seater version was called GRAND Scenic. 3.2.1. This simply means that their GRAND model is larger, bigger, wider than the standard model. LOL Nothing to do with Grandeur.. LOL LOL 3.2.2. Citroen also calls their larger model GRAND C4 Picasso 7 Seater. 3.2.3. This is more of a French thing... 3.3. Thus if we use French, don't you think that the development's title can be misleading? 4. This is because, nowadays most floor plans are much smaller. And cannot be compared to a home built in the 1970's to 1980's. LOL 5. If one is a "French man" can perhaps go claim that the advert and the actual development's name is totally misleading.. 6. Luckily, other than our mother tongue... Singapore... is inclined towards British English... not French.. LOL P.S. Next time, if you do invite a French man to your new home... do relate this interesting fact to them... Also, I used to own a Renault Grand Scenic that is why I am pretty familiar with this word.. LOL

There is hope today...

The main point conveyed is that sharing information in a public forum does not grant others the right to inundate the speaker's private communication channels, particularly at inconvenient hours, and that most inquiries lack proper identification.

Annual visit to several clients on 4.1.2020

HDB Tampines GreenSpring has to be one of my most challenging ranking exercises for quite a while. Take a look at the various considerations via the many Legends found below... Actual reviews will not be released to the public...

Is the frontage of the house always the main door?

Today (4 January 2020). By now, many of the above links are out-dated! It's simply a snapshot of the distant past... of 18 years ago...

Grab customer: “Accidentally inputs destination as Botannia” Taxi arrives... Grab customer: “Enters taxi” Taxi Driver: “Are you MR Lim? To Botannia?” Grab customer: “Playing with his phone.. not attentive... Yes! Quick...Go...Lah! “ (Above: Botannia at West Coast!) Grab customer; “Hey! This is not PARC Botannia!” Another day, another mix up, again! LOL

Yes, stack/unit 322 is considered North facing. Reference:

Just T.O.P. Luxus Hill Drive Even new and modern terrace homes also has a side gate built into the main gate... Another consideration (not Feng Shui) is that all auto gates are suppose to swing into the home. Unlike many older houses where the owners “illegally swing” it outwards. This is because an innocent pedestrian could be caught out if the walk right towards the five foot way and slam against the opening gate...

Annually I would visit a client at Penjuru Close. KL style wanton mee. Just $3/-. The small amount of their special black sauce does wonder to the noodles! This is the first time, I refrain from adding or stirring the chilli sauce with the noodles. Very fragrant, noodles chewy and the char siew nice and flavourful. The three wantons were also generous and lovely. Wasted, that it is an annual affair! Hope my client invites me for more years to come!

2.1.2020 Virtually very little work (if any) seen at Kempas Residences...SS permit just issued on 4 December 2019... Photos: Kempas Residences & it’s neighbours... Looks like Period 9 Feng Shui for sure... HDB Towner Crest... / Kempas Residences

Or should it instead be baked or smoked? Food Court @ North Star Ang Mo Kio

Sure. But we cannot incorporate the side gate into the main gate right, such that there is a frame and people have to bend over to get into the house. Correct? Grandmother’s tale. For small terraces, perhaps this is the only way to have it. As common as grains of the sand in a beach. Even many semi-d has this. Not like one is so old that cannot bend down. No harm also to exercise the neck Furthermore this side gate incorporated into the main gate saves space and the most cost effective method.. practised long long time ago. Even my grandfather’s bungalow built on the 1950’s once had such a side gate, then.
