skyspectrum 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 The popiah stall at level one also sell in package. $50 for about 40 rolls. Order 1 day in advance, they will prepare all the ingredients in seperate boxes. We just had a popiah party recently. Oh, heard from the news yesterday that MND is converting the old queenstown polyclinic to temp foreign workers domitary. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin.../393886/1/.html Yes, both stalls do sell packages. Just that IF the one at level 1 is closed, you may still proceed to the one at level 2. We had already ordered from them twice. As for the dorm thingy, many future potential social and security issues would need or have to look into them. hmm...don't think they will waste their hard-earned money on that... They will most probably buy their beer from the nearby NTUC, wonder to all the nearby shelters, void decks, parks (along dawson) and the worst case will be loittering ard at our neigbhourhood. Think the COP thingy need to be in place before they shift in, esp now with the NTPS opening next year, "more light and place" for them to "rest & relax". In future, depends on situation, better to escort your wives back if they are working OTs beyond certain timing .... Looks like I've picked the right place to live in, thks for the warm welcome ppl. Skyspectrum, I think I'm going to like u a lot, you seem quite the makan guru...will try out those teochew places along farrer rd. Yah, quite a lot of changes going to come to queenstown, seems that a lot construction will come abt that area. Even as I was renovating, quite a few MPs came by to visit the area right? yes indeed. Both my wife and I love food too. Just that we are controlling for two reasons - health and size. haha. Cant eat too much unless balanced with disciplined regular exercise. I just passed my IPPT for this window and will last me till next Sep. Yeah! Well ..... we can always organize group makan session and try different food at different places .... you have definitely chose the rite place to stay. Where were you/your wife staying previously? I remember our PM mentions that there will be a revamp at the big plot of land. I suspect this is part of the revamp to turn that area into a mini fusion town of all races and cultures, so you can see alot of chinese, ang mo, ah neh and singaporeans there. Your nick "richman" .... maybe you shd bid for that land .... then develop into a land of different makan/eateries place, e.g. Nonya, cantonese, hainanese, teochew, indian, malay, etc... like dat, we can still exchange culture values rite? hehehee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
explorers 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Not that I am resistance to the idea of foreign workers domitaries in our neighbourhood but perhaps we as residents could also be informed/consulted earlier of this development. drawing from the experience of the serangoon garden 'fiasco', they don't dare to inform early liao...

deepakvali 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Hmm...will the foreign workers march to Ridout Tea Garden Mcdonalds for their lunch/dinner? probably they will use the pond as a pool to relax, use the number of trees there to dance and use the grass patch to snooze n drink "Kingfisher" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a supermart to be opened in fusionopolis? Yeap, it's not exactly very convenient. Biopolis was still within our walking distance..Fusionopolis is quite further down. I went there to visit my colleagues for a few times already. Nothing much up yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yster 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Hi guys and gals, I just got round to painting one of my smaller walls with my sis, and have quite a fair bit of spare paint left. The colors are MESA (bought from the Toto Paint Shop downstairs near the chicken rice stall) 2596A (Light Green) 2518A (Yellow) Nippon Paint Vinilex 5000 Low Odour 5034 (Chestnut) Nippon Paint Website About more than 7.8 of the paint is left, if anyone is interested, I'm willing to let go at 5 sgd per can. I bought them at 12sgd each for mesa and for nippon is 14 sgd. Thought it would be a waste of resources if I let it lay there. Still fresh, just bought over the weekend. Will post pics of the paint colors and my wall tmr, currently no internet connection at home. Cheers! Wow, shoe thieves huh... must watch out then. btw anyone know where I can buy decent foldable bicycle? Edited December 17, 2008 by yster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
