Morning Rasp!! u mean u bought ur flat at 280K? thats the price of a 4rm flat u know... good deal u got there... Our valuation was at abt 358k and we bought it at abt 330k.. Yes, that's us at the chess table... was discussing about our wardrobes configuration and laminates.... also asking my contractor to custom make the bedroom doors for us (wanted nyatoh doors at first but later we tot that nyatoh doors makes the place looks abit oldish leh)... basically this is a veerner door but with a more solid plywood core... guess not many contractor custom make house doors... every different contractor or ID ha

Hee hee ...u wouldn't believe who's family I bought it from and how much I paid abt 10years ago... U heard of one of our local chinese singaporean singer? 黎非辉? it was his bro's hse... he was staying there with his bro family and parents... and we bought it at 30k below valuation back then... at 330k... I remembered they were doing a contra back then ...they have confirmed to buy their flat at pasir ris but couldn't find a buyer for the hse lor... so we sap the whole deal... no COV and below valuation... What abt ur flat? should be arnd the ball park figure of 380-420k bah? how much cov u paid ah?

Hi Rasp, We are at the main staircase in the middle of the block (used to be with the 3 lifts ) 6th flr... I read ur blog... u got some nice ideas ie knocking down of walls and relocating ur store rm... I like the place where u put the fridge.... flushed with the wall ... hee hee if I had read ur blog earlier ..I would also have done the same to my kitchen too... and ..reading thru the posts... I also realised that wonderbeezz also stayed at the same block too!! and poiseidongal stays near by the botakjones and roast duck stall coffeeshop.. hee hee... btw u r welcome to pop by and look see look see when my hse is almost done... We have been staying here for almost 11yrs and loved the amenities at the area... what abt u? I think should be less then 3 years bah?

Rasp... we are neighbours... Just manage to dig out ur reno blog... and from ur pic of ur balcony view.... we are staying at the same block!!

Ah.. Rasp!! we could be neighbours... hee hee my block is also undergoing lift upgrading ... cannot find ur t-blog leh...
