Advice needed

Boss-boss sekalian, here's my predicament

Am currently staying in a landed terrace where the existing parquet (long strip type) came with the house (in total about 1400++ sqft). I've only moved in 2.5 years and the flooring is starting to be a pain to care for. As usual there's mild to severe warping due to water damage, joints in between is starting to crack creating mild unevenness. Hence, the foot feel is not what its used to be. My problem is further compounded as I have a six month old baby and wouldn't want her to be hurt by splinters or sharp edges in the future. So have done some research and here's the solution proposed to me

Option 1: Maintain the existing parquet and replace/fix the warped sections, refill the joints with wood putty and paint several layers of floor epoxy/sealant. Damage bout RM3K-4K but least headache when it comes to cleaning.
Option 2: Place SPC flooring on top of the existing parquet. The warped sections would be removed and filled with cement to make it even. Damage RM10k to RM14K depending on materials. Will be messy but more of a mid to long term fix.
Option 3: Hack everything and re-tile. Damage RM25K. Permanent fix but I dare not think of the amount of cleaning I have to do as we would still be staying in the house

If you were in my shoes, what would you do. Thanks in advance.

CFA Holder

UBC — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 03:06:41 +0800

Hi,

I just recently passed the CFA level 3 back in June. However I would need another 2 years (I've got 3 years working exp in the states) before I can use the designation. I've been in the states for almost 6 years and would be going back due to personal reasons. I've got offers from Singapore, but would rather choose to work in Malaysia as ..... let's just say my parents are not getting any younger. So if you could help, let me know. Thanks

Life eh ?

Don't you just hate yourself when you realize you still can't let go of your past? You know what you got to do and at times you felt as though you've moved on. And for that instance, that brief period, you feel as though you can finally breathe again. And BAM it hits you! You got to go dream of her, be somewhere where you guys shared memories or do things that reminded you of her. And the shitty cycle starts all over again. You just can't help it but be mad at yourself. You guys probably think that I'm being po po ma ma. I don't blame you guys. But if I could let go I would ..... but somehow life just loves to throw crap at you and see how well you deal with it. And what's worst, life throws in a new guy in her life. As hurtful as it is, you can't help but to ask, "So fast?", "Did I mean anything to you at all?. I guess these are some of the questions that would never get answered. But I guess this is life eh. S*it happens

How does one let go?

How does one let go?

You've been with the person for almost half a decade. All the memories, the laughter, the dim arguments. You know sooner or later you have to let go and yet somehow or another you want to cling unto it. You hate yourself for sounding so melodramatic, yet you find tears while you're writing this. You use the same corny advice you gave your friends countless times, the infamous "whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger". But when you look in the mirror, you couldn't help but laugh at yourself knowing darn well that it is just a lie. Countless nights when you wish you could just go to sleep, nights you wish you could just stop crying. You try to analyze what went wrong, what you should have done, but you just couldn't come up with anything. You wished she was cheating on you, personality problems, anger problems or something, but can't pin point a single flaw. In the end, you had to let her go due to distance. You know it isn't fair for her. She really needs you and yet you can't be there for her. Deep down you tell yourself, if you really love her, you just have to let go. But ... how does one let go?
