Is going higher and higher......This morning I flipped open the ST classified - property section, there was one particular advertisement caught my attention. The advertisement stated that 3 room HDB flat, in one of the mature estate areas, is valued at S$335k. On top of that valuation, the seller is also asking for COV (Cash over valuation) of $50k, which means in other words, the unit is selling at S$385k!!!
My first reaction to that advertisement was shocked! I remember that 9 months back, when I saw a similiar advertisement, a 3 room HDB in the same estate (in fact same block as in this morning advertisment) was asking for S$333K including COV.
The reason why I could remember that advertisement so clearly is because a friend of mine used to live in that block. My friend sold their unit at approximate S$170k and that was ten years ago. Look at the asking price today, the price have gone up more than twice the amount.
Looking at present situation now, it seems like the high prices have not deter would-be house buyers. So question is, will the buying power continue to stay? Well, time will tell......

Office alone
You may have watched the movie, "Home alone" but have you ever in the office alone? Just yesterday, a friend called me to relate her recent experience in the office alone. Here the story goes:
It was a hot Saturday afternoon, my friend received some urgent request from her colleague, which required her to go back to her office to settle. Of course, she was reluctant to go back to office, after all it was a Saturday! Who will want to go back to office on a hot Saturday afternoon? And to make thing worse, her office is so far away from her home!
As she was the in charge of those work-related issue. So she had not much of choices but to drag herself back to the office. There she was, alone in the office, busy clearing as many things as possible. As she knew that any delay in her part would end up leaving the office late!
Without much distraction, she was able to complete alot of things within a short period of time. Which she would not be able to achieve that kind of result during normal working hours, as she always tend to attract alot of male colleagues to her desk, these guys are trying very hard to date her out. Oh yes, my friend is quite a beauty!
Okay, back to my friend who was in office. While she was about to complete her last "task", there was a sudden loud bang behind her. The loud bang was from the noticeboard, which was standing on the floor leaning against on a metal cabinet, the noticeboard was diagonally across from her desk. When she turned her head to see what happened, she had a shock of her life! As according to her, the noticeboard was vibrating violently for no apparent reason! Or was there someone who might have accidentally knocked against the noticeboard? Well, I have to remind you again, she was in the office alone!
Guess you would probably knew what she would do next. Ya...quickly head straight to the Exit!

Will I get the new maid?
Just a moment ago, my friend asked whether he would be able to get his new maid this time? Looking at the Qi Men Dun Jia Chart, looks like this time he will have a good chance to hire one.Based on the chart, the maid is going to be a young lady, can be talkative and tend to make mistakes.
Well, will wait for my friend to update the outcome. Good luck my friend!

An unusual strong wind
This afternoon at 1.55pm witnessed an unusual strong wind. And I have to say that never been in my life to feel such gutsy wind here in Singapore. While the wind was blowing, I could see a mini sand-storm as well from nearby construction sites. The strong wind lifted everything up. Maybe this is the best time to listen to enjoy this music - Smoke gets into your eyes. Source : Youtube
An unusual experience
For those who have weak hearts or if you are using passenger lifts (elevator) frequently late at nights, you may want to give this posting a miss. However, if you choose to continue to read, please note that you are reading it at your own risks! I will not be held responsible for anything that may arise after reading this posting.
I have been pondering for quite a while before I decided to pen it down here. For that I have not really shared with others (strangers in particulars) except some close friends or relatives what I have experienced or rather things that I have been noticed while using the passenger lifts.
After sharing with my friends and relatives my experience in using the passenger lift, I was quite surprised to know from my friends and relatives that they seemed to have experienced the same kind of thing which I did. So I wonder, maybe some of us may have experienced this once or twice in our lifetime or for some may have experienced it even more, which is my case.
Anyway, here we go: My experience while using the passenger lift. For a period of my life, I noticed, especially when late in the night, while I was walking towards to lift lobby, the lift door would "automatically" opened by itself! And I have to tell you this, I did not even have to press the lift call button but the lift seemed to be smart enough to know my intention to use it.
To make thing even more spooky, sometimes the lift was already at rest position and the door was closed but the sudden opening of door by itself did not make any common sense to me. And of course, the unexpected lift door opening by itself always led my imagination to run super wild!
Sometimes to overcome my "fear", I tried to reasoning that the lift could have just installed some kind of devices that was able to detect users, something like motion sense? But deep in my heart, I knew that was impossible especially the lift door would only open by itself during late in the night and not during daytime.
There were times, when I brought my dog out for a walk late at night. As usual, the lift door would open by itself. Once inside the lift, I could see that my dog could sense some kind of presence, my dog would continuously looking around despite that there were two of us inside the lift! Or should I say that maybe there were more?
Thanks god, all my experiences with the lift door "auto" opening always ended up safe. Nothing more, phew.... After sometime, I got used to this special privilege. In fact, I was quite thanksful to whoever or whatever who had helped me to press the lift call button especially when both of my hands were carrying something.
It has been quite a while that I have not been given this special privilege. And I can't remember when was the last time that I experienced the lift door opened by itself. Somehow, I am sort of miss this special privilege.
To conclude, so long you have not done anything evil or bad, there is no reason that you should fear for anything. Think positively, maybe because you have done many good things and that's why you are given such special privilege. So next time, if you were to encounter such similar experience, do remember to say thank you. :)

Update - Qi Men Dun Jia to understand a situation
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about using Qi Men Dun Jia to understand a situation. Here is the update on the hiring of a new maid. My friend sms-ed me yesterday afternoon to inform me that the new maid still have not arrived. And because of the long wait, he has decided to cancel the application.
I did not ask him what would be his next intention. Maybe I will ask him when I catch up with him this weekend, I will keep you readers posted.

I am reading blogs
I just happened to come across Silver Ang's blog . Quite an interesting blog, mostly about herself : - her previous career as a Stewardess and her present career as an Artist, and of course some postings about her relationships as well! So if you want to know more about her, you may want to visit her blog?
Oops in case you are wondering who is this Silver Ang? Well, she was one of the contestants in the Project Superstar (Singing) competition in 2005. Back then she was still a young gal. Now, a pretty young lady!
Anyway, what caught my attention in her posting was fengshui and fortune telling. She admitted that she is a strong believer of fengshui and bazi, and she even mentioned that she would have failed marriage if married before 27. I wonder what is her bazi like?
Okay, here is a video clip of Silver uploaded by her (of course!) to Youtube. She sang the lovely song "I'm Yours" . Click on the video below to enjoy the song!
