icegal, is it a brand new unit? how much is it? i like that location too

hi hobbe, I could not get u in MSN. Do you mind sending me your quotation? Thanks.

What his email huh.? Thanks

True true.. but the fact is whether you need the house more or need your cash more.

Just to share my 1 year house hunting. It really boil down to luck - purely luck. Initally we are also thinking of getting a resale unit. However after enquiry with agent with location like SengKang & Yishun. Was shocked to find out it is even hard to find a COV 30K that is near to MRT (walkable in this sense). I guess the agent could be pretty honest. It not that we do not have the cash. But it doesnt sound right as the price of a 70year left leasing HDB be costing so much exp compare to brand new HDB. Do take note we need to filter in the agent 1% as well. We took our chance to the balloting. We are very very unlucky. We wanted the 'que' system outside HDB hub. Those which base on queing, so we could have gotten a better chance. But WTH! it change o bi-monthly balloting.. Fine.. We pay $10 every 2 month and thought as a 1st timer, we got more chances than others. The real hard facts is NONE. In between this, we pop onto this January BE which we thought it a 'special' offering from HDB. Ok.. i admited we are very nuts about HDB stuff. We ballot and thought we will got a que number by end of Jan (just like other bi-mthly). We even signed up for this balloting exercise using the 'married chid priority scheme' - MCPS. This will enable us to have 4 chances.. but the bad thing my IL will need to be struck at that location for 5 years.. On April 08, finally we got our number. I am very excited... But the bad thing happened. My IL wanna moved! so we are not able to get our unit under the MCPS. After numerous calls and my gf help.. we managed to find out that even we apply under PA (public appliant), our que number will be the same!!!! haha.. so we are lucky... Till today i still can't believe i am that lucky. Actually, the fact is... if you are young couple with no cash on hand. There is only 1 way out - buy from HDB. No need more reno like re-sale unit. There is no 2 ways ... Luck is important. Thanks.

I think many will recommend contractor like 'Ho Bee'.

Ya lo. Want to get that nice nice model and display in that extra rm. How about sound proofing.. it seem that HDB do not allow us to change the window..OMG.. that goes my double glazed window for sound proofing. Any1 got alt ideas?

the gnd floor showroom is a 94sqm. should be pretty similar to 97. i guess.. Put mirror will make the house look bigger. But anyone know how to make the unit more sound proof? TIA

woh woh.. now the 2nd batch of jan BE start to be activte!!! heee.. btw, can we change the window of bedok unit to double glazed window? where can i read more about this. TIA

anyone know whether HDB can sell me the model which they display at TPY hdb hub? Thanks.

i think it upper boon keng very good location man~

So fast want collect key? heee.. Anyway i took 2 photos of the model at bedok using HP. Lousy quality.

Hobbes, can i have your breakdown reno cost for your 2 toilet? 1 toilet by 1 toilet pricing.. I wanna do one toilet nice nice (hotel std)

hi, is it a new flat from HDB? how much is it?

I get what you mean. I got myself a 6th floor. I am happy.. I didn't know i am entitle to the AHG as our currently salary package is >$4k. but then they told me i can 'try'. The record they be taking is 2006/7.. so maybe we will qualify yeah yeah!!! Having said that, the most impt is the person you are destinate to be with your whole life. Heee.. I am very very lucky guy to have know her. She is wonderful... (just a bit too good with languages) - double edge sword... hahaha...

Mmmm.. i choose height over size. - all i can say... Anyway just to take note: 97sqm come with bay window - meaning window in bedroom got a concrete based..decreasing the floor area. U get what i mean?? 94 is the best choice
