And the part regarding old folks homes, I'm not exactly the perfect son, but I will take good care of my parents till old age. I don't know any people in their right mind would send their parents to the old folks home... that is in my opinion, simply, NOT RIGHT.

hahaha, send to old folks home also not cheap leh.

maybe can add me in the Tampines EM kaki.

huh...y maybe? Heeee....just kidding. I've added u in and 2 more to go.

Announcement for the day

heard the heavily tenanted EM in my block (mid floor) sold liao

Val=385k

Sold=405k

COV=20k

Move-in condition= -0% [the workers for the contractor/id gonna have a hard time]

Wah..u took over 2 months ago and HDB still doing rectification?Wat kind?

Btw which blk u buy ah..& how much?

They just started actually.

The last time we spoke to our TO, he said that they will be

1) removing all cornice in living room

2) hack toilet, living room tiles (dunno about replacement cos we may not want them to)

3) replace cracked and missing windows

4) smoothen all the walls. currently the rough rough type..

We are only going back to see this Sat, so not sure what they have actually done.

and we are hoping that they will do as spoken. *fingers crossed*

our place at blk 245. got it direct from HDB through Feb ballot for $470k.

we felt that it is really ex but got it cos of the proximity to MRT and Central.

could have collected keys in April but we were hesitating, and postponed to end May.

almost like no diff from buying resale...

but why are they removing the cornices...hehe..if can choose the type of tiles..at least save on buying new tiles.

Hi,

Congrats on getting your EM and added u in. If my memory didnt fail me, urs is from the WIS right? Bought at good price?

If the existing reno is ok then u can more or less save quite alot especially on the floorings and wall tiles. Times are bad and raw materials all going uphill. Can save quite a bit if cut down on carpentry eg. leave out built in wardrobes in the extra bedrooms if its just the 2 of u staying in the EM.

Kakis,

3 more to go before we hit the 50.

snail mail very slow de. Dont wait for the letter, go online better.

Whoa Hello, your memory very good.

you're right, we got that unit.

the flat is totally empty, so we will have to furnish everything ourselves.

we do away with beds as scare the kids fall off from bed. The only bed that came into my flat belongs to my parents in bedroom 3. They bought the bed when they moved in last Jul.

infact, my hb was telling me....dun hv to buy any bed for the boys,...cos they will fall.

so, guess we will also take it off our purchase list.

what we did to the wrought iron at the balcony, window grilles and gate are to re-spray to the colours we like and it cost us about $580.....and it turns out to be very nice...

you may wish to refer to my pictures to do a comparison....
