New Flat At Clementi Blk 459
applefreak replied to gohkm's topic in HDB New/Resale Flats, Executive Condominiums
this is still proximity to facilities. there are many places in singapore that is near to stadium, swimming pool, town central and mrt. but do you like the area e.g. residents of the area etc. take for example, chinatown is a love/hate place coz i love it for the convenience and vibrancy but hate it when it comes to CNY coz of the crowd. going home is a nightmare for clementi, i'd assume there'll be a lot of youngsters and buses will be crowded when the students are going for classes or leaving for home. how do you like the way the rooms are laid out, the use of space or the size of the living room compared to the rooms. e.g. my new home in SK has two entrace to the kitchen that's why i took it if you face the MPH, do you like to sleep in during weekends? coz that's when functions will be held there e.g. weddings, children playing etc. it really depends on your monthly expenditures. some earn $5k but only managed to save $200. some earn $2k but managed to save $1k. if you already have an emergency fund of 12 x monthly salary, retrenchment is not so much a headache. if you dun mind me asking, how much CPF will you have when you sell your current flat? if it's more than $200k then this won't be much of a problem. if it's less than $130k then i'd really ask you to reconsider -
hehehe, the rosewood bookcase is bought off the shelf rosewood furniture is not expensive if you know where to look :no:
-

hehehe, firstly he is not my ID got no money to hire an ID, going for a contractor instead didn't use the particular ID coz my contractor agreed to use solid ply for my cabinet doors veneer was not recommended for kitchen cabinets so had to use laminate to pay that kind of price for veneer might as well pay for the solid wood? a bookcase made entirely of rosewood only $1.5k compared to $500 veneer ply

New Flat At Clementi Blk 459
applefreak replied to gohkm's topic in HDB New/Resale Flats, Executive Condominiums
clementi is not a lousy place. but when compared to bt merah, it definitely lose out loh the price of a property not just depend on the proximity of facilities, it will also depend on how much it can fetch on the rental market. honestly, i dun think a 2nd flr 5-rm unit in bt merah will cost $360k loh HDB is jacking up the price now that the market is in a bull run the price of new flats are tagged to the market rate, so not much difference between the price of new/resale flat liao. most important consideration when you buy a flat 1. do you like the area? 2. do you like the flat? i.e. layout, facing, location etc 3. can you afford the monthly installment if one of you got retrenched? before thinking if the flat is worth it, ask yourself these questions. if the answer to any one of them is no, then the flat is not worth it liao -
think the light might be available at tokyu hands only available in august though distributor or retailer not stated there are four designs Beach - Emerald Green light, Sound of waves and sea gulls Dolphin - Emerald Green light, Sound of water and dolphin calls Deep Sea - Blue light, Healing music Forest - Green light, Healing music and sound of bird calls with the cover on, it acts as an interior light with the cover off, the healing function starts (???) it can also act as a speaker for MD/CD players, Digital players etc the 'stereo mini plug cord' is not included

went down to my nest today took some pix to share here the heater that caused me some grief it was supposed to be installed yesterday together with the kitchen pipes then citygas insisted that we didn't order it until i used my 'super-pixxed' voice to tell them that their staff called me to say they no long run water points. so why would their staff call if we didn't order the heater? insisted they come down today so that patrick's workers can start doing the concrete support on monday they LL arranged an appt today after i threatened to ask for compensation as they caused delay to my entire renovation process kitchen stove gas pipe with valve, as requested by my dad curtain from giant for my bathroom on sale, today last day at $18.80 close up of the curtain more pix gas pipe and sand at the sink support area gas pipe going up to the original pipe gas pipe to the heater think i'm burning out from this renovation process all the things are done alone, with some support from my bf but i'm still the only one sourcing for anything and everything. from deciding on which unit, what floor tiles to get, what theme the flat will be in, what colour, layout of the entire unit to what furniture to get, design of kitchen and cabinets the ranting was because of a boo boo i made today the ceiling fan pple came down to install the three ceiling fans i've ordered they asked me where to install which - the aroma was for my room so no problem, then one light kit was stacked on one of the two boxes of fans so i just assumed that the one with light is for the dining. when the living fan went up and they start prepared the dining fan, my mum asked me why the dining fan is bigger than the living fan i realised it's the wrong one the one up is supposed to be with lights and at the dining area no choice but asked them to take it down and do it again, so paiseh but other than that, the end result was very satisfying dining fan **** correct fan up **** dining fan shifted and up with lights close up of the lights, can switch on 1, 2 or all 3 glad we choose this coz really goes with our kopitiam table

Withdrawal Of Ownership From Flat
applefreak replied to rofy's topic in Housing Rules, Policies and Procedures
1. yes when you ROM your status changed to married so you can no longer hold the flat as a single. your spouse's name must be included in the application. better to check with HDB coz think this is to prevent married couple to have two flats 2. you cannot apply for a flat under the single scheme if you are married -

hehehe, i was thinking if deathcoth will buy first i also didn't ask my contractor to plaster the wall but think almost all my walls will be covered by furniture so shouldn't be a problem :rofl: yes yes that's the one looks really really nice wor but the price i'm sure is can share where is space furniture? will drop by with my sister to see see look look there dun think i spent half as much time as you so now can only hope my place will turn out half as nice me also dun want to pay an ID since i have quite a fixed idea of what i want and have quite a bit of existing furnitures
-
but hor, the amount of time and efforts he spent is significant leh you didn't even have to lift a finger all the brain juice come from the ID, you just need to nod or shake nia, dui bu dui? so how anybody interested? we can share shipping leh $100+ for a light like that not very expensive, can be the conversation piece of the home saw a hanging egg chair which is really nice in the her world jul issue but i know i cannot afford it without knowing the price just can drool over it nia singhao, can check with you how much is Miss K? my sis is interested leh, but dun know when they will have sale
-
wow that's very fast seems like everything is coming at the same time more pix of your ikea buys and items delivered please
-
can feel your excitement it'll be a tug-of-war between your heart and your wallet what to do will depend on what you have
-
actually hor, the upfront discount is $17k so even if everyday tear coupon, you'll need to tear 850 days to use up the $17k that's not including the road tax discount so if you use it once a week or so, OPC is still quite worth it IMHO
