preciousjam 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Finally I have the chance to start my own blog....I'm so inspired by the forummers here with all their selfless sharing and contribution esp the Ah Soon Club Forummers!!! (simei xiaomei(thanx for the contact), fondue(thanx for letting us view your house), smallboy family of 4 (thanx for sharing) After months of trying to sell my house in Woodlands (that's another story), finally got a seller after the Chinese New Year...and so lucky juz 2 weeks later I got my dream house near my parents(Whoppiiee!!!!!) Our initially plan was to keep the flooring and juz keep everything to minimum but as we look at the condition of the house...its like "OMG what have I gotten into?" The condition is as it is 20 yrs ago, not much has been done...I muz have been blinded by the fact I'll be so near my mum's house that I never really take a good look...... but then i thought to myself with the COV i saved up, juz do an overhaul to my house and it'll be a place to call my own with all my ideas in....and finally my second apt will be end of this month!!! In the meantime here's the layout of my house....any ideas are welcome!!! My reno has been completed and i've moved in....enjoying every moment of it.... Will consolidate information for my reno.....

preciousjam 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 mine was at senja...sold and im currently staying with my mom who stays just next block from my previous house But my new house is at Pasir Ris...far leh... Senja's flats are the newer ones and expensive lei.... what i'm paying for the EA can only buy a four room there...did you manage to sell it when economy was better? my agent told me now there can't get COV, most selling at valuation..... quite a drastic change from west to east....but i guess you like to be nearer to nature...my friend stay there always bring their child to the beach....
