More and more pple moving in. So they are more and more busy lor....

Yup. I believe they are referring to me. Cos I gotten the HDB Tech team to come down and convince me that the hollow sound is normal. Nah... dun believe them anyway. Just wanna to make it a record. My friend staying opps me complained very jiak lat jiak lat and gotten all tiles replaced, now solid sound and that was before even I come in. So far SCDF no sound no pic. Sent a reminder to them yesterday.

Got hollow tiles sound in your toilets? A defect which they insisted not defect. Dear all, An update on the provision to provide right turn coming out from our estate, from LTA: They replied too near to junction, for safety reasons, will not implement. Expected this reply. Never even consider other solutions, just simply reject. So I replied to them to re-consider by having alternative route which aligned with the new opening for swimming complex.

especially the last 15 mins...

I was waiting for my wife at the drive thru when u guys were cleaning. I didn't clean up the house until everything over. Cos it was going to get dirty anyway. If u are using Citygas, nope, u got to get the pple from SP Services to come to install, they are very strict on this. Your renovator can only advise where to run. City gas also give free gas heater. But after using Citygas for three months, I found out that it is rather ex considering that we don't cook much often but still so high (avg $15 per month). If I used tank, it is about $30 per tank leh.

weixiaobao: This afternoon saw someone cleaning unti 721. were you the one? Blurbug: I have sent to SCDF_CSC@scdf.gov.sg. Cos not sure who to send to. Told them that even red rhino can run on other surface, other emgencies vehicles such as ambulance and fire engines may got stuck.

I support the idea.... That's very good news...

Me too. But if got escalator one, better.

Ok. Doned. email to SCDF for comments liao. Hopefully would be a favoruable one.

ckoonyin gave me a good idea. Maybe I should also cc to SCDF for comments. They are more powderful when lives are at stake. I think overhead bridge would be under utilised if the road divider are not fenced up to force pple to use it. Traffic light junction nearby would be good. Agreed with Spinball that our estate is very run down. Should brighten the place up.

Blur Blur: Do let us know the date & time. One of my friends who is staying in the neighbourhood is interested to attend. So far, the beep beep sound reduced liao after NEA and LTA stepped in. I hv feedback to Town Council with some suggestions to improve the estate. So far, my email had been re-directed to HDB and LTA for comments. Some extract of my email and West Coast TC reply: Suggestions: a) Re-paint all lines and arrows for service roads: The current ones are already fainted off b) More signages for entry and exit points for vehicles: There is no prominent signage available to the drivers which exit and entrance are. Hence, I do see some drivers driving out of the estate through the entrance. This might lead to accidents. c) More signages to indicate Block Number and the car park: If you observe, you can't see Blk 989A signage at the block when you drive. Therefore, a lot of my friends drove round the estate and still could not find the block. Also, when turning into the estate, should have a clear and precise signage to indicate the block nos and the car park else, visitor would park furtherest away from their intended block. d) More entrance & exit points please: Because there is only one entrance and one exit point, there would be traffic jams along Jurong West St 93 and the service roads for vehicle waiting to come in and out. This is most evident during morning and evening rush hours. e) Turning right for vehicles coming out of the estate: Currently, only left turn for vehicles out from the estate. Those who want to go to Blk 959 for food, have to turn left and make a U-turn at the next junction, which explains why some vehicles took shortcut by turning right out from the entrance point. Some vehicles even make U-turn at the turning right point for vehicles into the estate. It is very dangerous for pedestrians who are walking on the pavement as they might not able to notice vehicles making unauthorised turns. f) Re-paint and repair the blocks and amenties: As the estate already five years old or maybe more, most of the blocks are having cracks all around, discolouration and some deterioration on the amenities. It is time to re-paint and repair the amenities to make the estate a wonderful and safer place to live in. Reply: "....Permit us to clarify that the planning of the infrastructure layout of your precinct, ie the number of entry/exit points for vehicles, including directional signages cited in your feedback, were originally designed and catered by the Housing & Development Board (HDB). We trust that HDB would have made comprehensive planning for your precinct to ensure that the entry/exit points and directional signages are sufficient to serve the precinct efficiently. Nevertheless, we have assisted to refer your suggestion and feedback to HDB Jurong West Branch Office for their attention and consideration for any improvement where feasible. You may wish to provide more details of your suggestions to the Branch Office at email buwadmin@hdb.gov.sg . As for your request for a right turn for vehicles along Jurong West St 93 outside your precinct, the matter comes under the purview of the Land Transport Authority (LTA). By copy of this email, we have also assisted to refer your feedback and request to LTA for their consideration and attention to look into the feasibility. For further feedback on this issue, you may wish to email LTA at Feedback_Unit@lta.gov.sg . On maintenance related issues, we have noted your feedback on some discolouration and shrinkage plaster cracks problem on the facade of some blocks at your precinct. Permit us to explain that the facade of HDB blocks will experience some localised paint peeling and dirty stains caused by weathering as part of the natural phenomenon due to wear and tear as the building ages. As such, our Town Council has a cyclical programme to carry out repainting of HDB blocks at a maintenance cycle of every 7 years under Repair & Redecoration (R&R) improvement work to address such phenomenon for aging HDB blocks. Currently, our Council has no plan to carry out any R&R works as the age of your precinct is still relatively new. Nevertheless, we will carry out localised repair and repainting work for some affected blocks in our routine maintenance, including re-painting the fading road marks at the service roads where necessary. We have also noted your feedback about the lift button's fault at Blk 989A, 10th floor to carry out service check and prompt repair...."

Solved the "beep beep" sound liao. NEA called me and updated me that they had advised the contractors to minimise the reversing sound of their vehicles at LTA construction site. U stay at 989A too?? I'm at the 10th floor. Dun know leh.. but blur blur requested to drop an email if interested to attend.

hahaha... quite interesting immediate neighbours you have. Guess u not a MJ fanatic Jap restaurant at the stadium there? the one with 1.90 for all sushi rite? I Went to the same one at Revenue House. normal sushi, yes, 1.90 but the rest are very ex. Will u be joining blurblur for the meeting with Nanyang police? Blurbug: Hey, welcome to the forum....

I heard 988 kana. Swimming complex got indoor pool. got lasy river also but no wave pool. Inside also have two restaurants, Sakura Buffet and one jap. Stadium, hvn't use yet... going too. Anyone at 989A and 987A who have moved in? Were you bother by the "beep beep" sound everyday, morning afternoon and even at night?

I oreadi staying there since Jan. So i believe dat fella was observing the units cos the time he tempered was the day when no one at home.

Good... have more & more pple moving in. Remember not to keep any valuable goods in your unit during renovation. Cos recently, I noticed that someone had tried to tamper with my gate hinges.

Can't post pics leh... no rights to upload. Who to write to for rights huh? qaraj: Housewarming... not so soon. been busy lately. When u moving in?

So far all my trunking all hidden inside false ceiling or cover up or near to the corner of the toilets. . But only one that run across the room to the living room. Was told have to be like dat. But then I no expert, so ok lor, they said wat means wat lor.

I can say that they are very fast... so if u hv 2nd thoughts about where u want to place your air-con, better be fast. Workmanship, I dun know how to see leh... maybe i post some pics for you to assess.

10th floor. urs? Actually All Best price quite ok huh? Cos they include in their packages with Class 0 piping, plus vouchers to use fo servicing and 5 yrs warranty for workmanship. Unlike Gcity, have to upgrade with cost for Class 1. mine oso All Best, I keok tio when Mit run out of 10K BTU unit and they substituted mine with all 13K instead. Initial tot they deliver wrongly, but then was told they promised that day delivered so bo pian, replaced with 13K.

Amoyz: I think my curtain ex becos I am using rollers for all windows, one with nursery rhyme for my daughter (this one ex), then use solar films too at two bedrooms cos facing west. But then, If minus these things away and purely using normal items, feel that the price would be about the same as the rest lor. Ckoonyin: i stay at 989A leh... Zen2008: can try All Best at IMM. My friend was quoted for Mit non-inverter sys 3 at 1888.

spinball: I moved in liao loh.... Yup, done curtains for all windows. Using roller blind most. Also use solar films. Comes up to abt $2100.

va|er1e: I think the lady u spoke to should be Bee Hoon (technical officer for our estate). Not very responsive one, even her superior, Peh also the same. Email dun wan to reply until I have to go all the way to QSM. I hv a contact for curtain. if u guys wan, let me know, I PM u. He will come your house to provide quotation.

spinball: Bo pian leh... when shopping for fridge, my wife saw the product and die die must have. Got similar one but only inverter made in Japan while the rest from Taiwan. But my wife die die also wan fully japan. Inverter will kind of save electricity since low power during the night instead of fully charge throughout. For fridge since operating 24x7. think worth it lor. I wanted a two door fridge lah but kitchen too small. power988: If I know can change skirting in living room, I will definitely change. Cos wooden skirting around ceramic is kinda weird. Furthermore, if u notice, bottom was not glue, still have gap in btw the wood and ceramic tiles where water can flow into. Amoyz: Got one year liability mah... U can still call them to come and fix. Mine facing the same for the holes in btw the tiles. Wanted to DIY but too many liao so get them to come. R U referring to the rings on the hot and cold portion? If yes, then I dun have any problem with the 2 rings.. all screwed tightly to the wall. no thread. As long as within one year of warranty, all defects can call them.

hahaha... except those that we see as defects. Anyway, my relative commented that the condition of the house is considered good since there were no major defects found (like cracks on the walls, crack tiles etc). Anyway. I did not check for the parquet cos I dun have the strength to squat down and start knocking for three rooms. Only when I moved in, then I started to notice hollow parquet tiles in the bedrooms. So this fri, the contractors are coming to fix them & also to touch up the holes appearing in btw the tiles of my toilets.
