I even go to jurong east to see..but felt tat i wont be able to adjust as my whole life is in north and north east..and am lucky to find this unit and the owner is nice enough to accept our offer!! Its a blessing.. East side still not so far from north east there is TPE!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
