Hi all, long time nver log on le.. see so many neighbours sharing and helping is so heart warming. I have a qns to ask anyone here. current me contemplating of a mixture of stove top. Can I ask any of our neighbours here having a vitroceramic stove top? { hey neighbours, is it normal to have SP bill cost $260 a month for 4 room? to list normal usage: only 1 aircon on every night, plasma TV watch from 8pm-12 am. normal small fridge on whole day, small fan, tower fan on when sleeping. use washing machine every day. use vacuum cleaner once every 2-3 days. internet surfing for 4 hours a day. oh, i use electric heater. } As for the elect i think is the washing machine usage everyday, That use quite abit.. imagine its usage everyday for an hour? standard front loader wash time. I think its the washing machine. others is small

Hi all, I think S&C services no payment reminder one will be send to you. I think better download the Giro Form from their webby better. http://www.btptc.org.sg/ under payment, at the side will have a payment by GIRO. I think easier.. if not always fine for nothing

Maybe I will sign later on saturday. to check the leaking. Very little Blk A pple. That day when I went up din see any neighbours from the 7th flr. Sad :-( hope to meet up. All the seniors here, I got problem when I saw the door. ESP. toilet. Alamak open fully and kena the show screen in the future abit bo liao.

Hoppe to meet up one day GO GO GO 79ers!

Hi Redcrystal, wah have to wait for your review liao.. still hunting around.. Thanks again for sharing

Hi Mapleleaf, Cost issue? what are some of the brands that you went to check out and the cost?? went to the web, ariston is selling around 2K for a 4 pot top. 2 big 2 small. I find the power consumption is not that high eventually 6KW total. Some more we dun cook and use all 4 pot altogether. So was looking into it quite abit. In the web there are lots of good things said about induction. Only haven have someone's real life experience. I think only the pots and pans are abit expensive coz need metal (ferrous) magnetic capable utensil then can use induction. Care to share some of your consideration and cost concerns? Thanks

Hi Redwyrm, Electrical bills will only go up if you use the cooker loh.. the upside I think was the elimination of running gas pipes. safety for children, no flame and more efficient that conventional ones, easier to maintain. dun have those yellowish thing appear under the cooker in the long run of coz the downside is no elect no cooking, cooking wares are special in the market maybe more expensive. I am still contemplating will go around look see, saw a promoter at taka selling induction cooking wares and cookers.. only 1 cooker pot. I think can keep one those steamboat type conventional cookers around just in case bah.. I see can gather more info the market.. esp $$$ of the cooker. How much you bought yours Redcrystal?

Hi Redcrystal, Thanks, by the way what make you considered Induction to other cookers? Mine is more or less to do away with i) Not going to cook alot ii) Remove the hassle of having to many bills iii) safer than conventional cookers ( to a certain extend) iv) Maintenance is much easier my biggest concern actually is from WTB, safety ( as will it have any side effects coz cook by magnetic waves converted to heat. ) Whats yours? Thanks for your sharing.

Hi All! yeah!! going to get key on 5th Mar! Just to wonder who is blk A level 7 flr pple.. lolz,.,. looking for neighbours.. can jaga each other,. Erhmm.. Just a question of many of 79ers, anyone considered Induction Cookers? I was thinking of getting it.. anyone considered another point of view, other than the hassle of use only ferrous mental pots and pans, which are more expensive?

Hi all, long time no post liao.. I also got my HLE.. going to submit today. yeah!!! wah liana79B, thanks for the tip.. will take note. time to complete the neighbourhood of blk 79!!!!!

Happy NEW YEAR all 79ers!!

Hi Redwyrm, Got Blk A pple lah.. I am also from blk A. I live only a stone throw away. All our blk A Khaki waiting everyday at the letterbox from sunrise to sunset for letter.. And reading forum here and camping at our blk everyday, seeing the lights from many of our neighbours unit light lit everynite. Also getting info every where.. learning from our seniors here their experience. Bo bian.. our blk abit slow.. but nevertheless good as after CNY easier. No need to rush and plan it out. Somemore can wait for the June Comex.. To look at Electronic Products Steady Our hectic time will come

Hi Rachel!! welcome to the family. I am also from Blk A. Sad to say.. haven. the barricade not down yet. I only say Blk B is being remove. Haiz.. I think it should be around Feb 08 to Mar 08 for us. Also good lah.. we can take our time. As they will iron out alot of issues from the other blocks. Must thanks so many bros and sis here that whack HDB left right and centre. Not to mess up this block. I still see workers rushing around during the weekends at various blocks to mend tiles at lifts, leaks and such. Good work all fellow Blk 79ers!!! Whack more!!!!!

Hi Alister, Although mine in Blk A, haven come. But mine come with kitchen floor tiles worh. If there is no waterproofing then how to be kitchen? Abit kena conned by HDB liao right? LIke that must scold HDB CSO liao leh. Anyone in the ballot system can confirm? Very confusing leh.. how can kitchen area deemed as wet area no waterproofing?? hacking away and redo the area cost $$$

Haiz, Wah so many post liao ah.. alot of info to fish from all my neighbours.. sorry ah. was busy with Wedding and securing of hotel.. Man i just got fine last week.. Haiz.. nver know they so fast.. All neighbours .. just careful and put coupons.. they are very on in our blocks

Hi pple! Was at 79C and D awhile ago. Wow the multi-storey roof garden almost done liao. Man still lots of work at the corridor. Workers running around fixing drop tiles at the lift lobbies. They are also rushing to fix cable lines at B and A too. Man at least they are rushing. Reall nice to see everything at 40th Storey. Only premium is abit steep. So eny pple at 40 at times. Real nice. Can see the see from there hang in there pple. Garden real good for good gathering when things are done

Hi Yingsan, Your quote looks not too bad. Oh, the existing C/W can dismantle? if can at least not too bad can change. quite reasonable too. As long as they can meet you requirement. I think the cost looks not too bad. terms of payment, I think not too bad also.. at least broke up into phases and easier to managed finances. And can evaluate base on job done and after inspection.

Hi all neighbours, I also went to the expo fair last weekend. Was quite disappointed. Most of the IDs, more or less are the same. The same form of colour combi are always around in their design portfolio. More of feature and style than practicality. IMHO. Not really what my fiancee and I want. I think really have DIY abit or go into more hands on with the design of our home. Good luck Guys!

Woah, Thanks to all who have taken all the lovely photos.. and also allow me and FW have a better picture and perspective of the unit. Will be starting our engine soon to get our colour theme, setting and mood we want for our new home. Real headache in the toilet Anyone thot of reducing the size of the kitchen to a smaller wet area and incorporating the dinning into the kitchen area? I find that having that too long a kitchen abit too much to wash... as me and my FW dun really spend time in the kitchen. And most of the time will be makaning in at our Mums' place. hmm.. still thinking.. as for the toilet.. I think will be putting glass encase shower screen.. now I have that at home.. reduce wet in the toilet.. Anyway.. will be going down the reno fair.. Thanks all our new neighbours for being so selfless.. and helping many of us bluur kings to start planning !! Can say thank you enough

Wah, nver come in few days only so many new neighbours liao..! anyone got the pamplets.??.. can scan and let every one have a look? really planning for the cost liao.. looks like its 25K down for a proper one..

Hi twotwobravo, Thanks. I read too. But nowadays cant be sure. As gahmen now very fickle minded. Very easy change.. I think I will write a mail to my CSO and see how.. Black and White easier to deal with them. hows things going with you. So sad cant find my the owner of 07-15. blk A., haha

Need to ask bros and sis here for advise, My WTB and me were just discussing, anyone wrote officially to HDB to ask for marriage cert deferment? As if my Blk A, slated for completion by Mar 08, timeline to produce cert is June 08. But I will not be getting marriage at least until late 08 or early 09. Anyone ask the CSO on the matter? If not I have write to him to ask liao. Care to enlighten thanks..

Hi Tension_z, What to do just have to live with it for a long while.. Have to ask my ID whether can work around the colour theme. REally a headache. at least just the toilet still not too bad. minimum amount of time spend.. the main door is nice. quite solid but the room doors are argh How they come up with such color coding. REal form or (ART) sianz man.
