gadgetman 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) so far, every time i went up to the sky garden, it isn't locked leh...somemore, during the most recent visit, we walked from the blk E sky garden all the way to blk A leh...that was on the 2nd day of cny...haha...we were lucky enough to see the lifts were working and we went up to see our unit's door...see the door already so happy...anyway, tomorrow is vday...happy vday to all~~~ I believe it is still locked most of the time. I know because my son will always ask me to bring him to see the "Big Sun" at the MSCP rooftop garden and then go blow bubbles at the Skygarden! There were once or twice we got lucky and the gates were unlocked, but most other times they were locked There was one evening a few weeks back we bumped into a staff from HDB at the rooftop garden entrance. We were told that someone had earlier removed the wooden door and some illegal wanderers had even set up a camp at the sheltered area near the entrance!! I had actually seen it with my own eyes too! It was even complete with mattresses and shades for privacy! At that time, I thought it was a resting place for the construction workers at the garden, but apparently it was not! Imagine a slump right at our doorstep! Anyway the police had been called in and the place was taken down immediately! Thank GOD! Anyway, the staff also said that the garden is still not opened yet and there are still many things to be rectified with the building contractors. To my son's dissapointment, we were told not to go into the garden for our own safety. From then on, the gates were securely locked most of the time. BTW, if you do wander to the MCSP rooftop gardens, please take a closer look before you sit down! There are thousands of caterpillars everywhere! Hope the contractors will be able to fix this problem when the gardens are officially opened.... Edited February 13, 2008 by gadgetman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup I agree. Guess HDB designs are getting nicer but not practical. This sky garden and roof top garden concept more suited to private developments where you have a gated compound or card access to prevent unwanted characters from wandering around and creating a nuisance.I'm just speculating when Blk 79 will encounter it's first "Jumper"...

Wen up 2 40th sty 2 check-out, well, e view i dunoe how 2 describe. Go see yorself if u wana noe.For those A's ppl who havnt collect keys, mayb can go touch ur main gate & door liao. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hey neighbours,e foodcourt at 79E there is name 'Food Park'. Scheduled 2 start business on 15Feb08.Saw abt 7 nos. of chinese food stalls ->- seafood (zhichar)- economical rice- pan mian- curry mee & noodles- western grill- braised duck rice- drinks.All stalls r those common brand which 1 can find in other coffeeshops. - Stil got 1 stall stil vacant if i'm not wrong. Any takers? - Neber see any LCD TV being mounted, mayb stil in e process of delivering. So soccer fans, gota wait wait wait... - e exhaust duct outlet frm e food court is facing 79E #02 units. i believe it wil create noise & air pollution disturbances to these units. (potential neighbours if u happen 2 read my post, dun choose e lower units in 79E unles u likes smell frm cooking fumes & smoky air & motor sound)- e paint supplier shop below 79 seems 2b big & e only odd 1 among e clinics.Dats all 4 2day, folks.

Or adventure-seeking jumpers ? If u mean the former, it already happened....so no need for "first". it can just end where it is now...if u mean adventure-seekers, wow! that would bring us much unexpected surprise! both examples are so extreme...
