zirhk3355 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 But CNY not much fireworks. Usually at the River Hong Bao and only for a few minutes.Ya lah, but at least it forms part of our itinerary for the day mah. Otherwise we all end up in slouching in front of the TV, or the mahjong table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cos not all will be using renotalk to chat. What you tink?Actually we had toyed with the idea of putting up notices in the lifts, but guess people would probably not be very happy about so many ads, not forgetting the notices would probably be lost amist all the other commercial ads and flyers.Can also start a website, call something like www.88tanglin.com or something, where it can become a portal for all residents to use, be it for products, services, merchants, activities like gatherings, BBQs, etc. Can also act as information counter regarding crime rates, wanted criminals, missing pets, etc.Further, our children/teenagers would be terrified if we can list their photos on the web for neighbours to recognise and keep a watchout on each others' kids who play truant or sit at long john silver too long. Elderly/Needy people can have their family contacts and medical conditions listed (locked up with passwords and accessible by certain people only), so we can help when there is an emergency. Blah blah...alot of usages!But I guess this will take time, like who to do it, getting sponsorships from the merchants, maintenance of the website, event organisers, etc. Edited January 16, 2008 by zirhk3355 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blah blah...alot of usages!But I guess this will take time, like who to do it, getting sponsorships from the merchants, maintenance of the website, event organisers, etc.Actually there are already quite a few websites that is dedicated to our neighbourhood (renotalk, sgbride, yahoo group, friendster etc). However the problem is that our neighbourhood seems to be quite small and the number of internet savvy guys/gals that frequently logs on are even smaller, esp. when everyone start to settle in and seldom log-on anymore. Then the effort to create this will be wasted and diminished in time. Unlike those bigger estate/development where the number is sustainable. Maybe its better to include the entire Tanglin Halt, but then.. it may invite unwanted attention from the wrong people...That said, it would still be nice that there is a way for everyone to stay connected, informed and know each other from door to door. I hate going into the lift with another neighbour but behaving like stranger and the silence is deafening.I would not mind hosting a website and sponsering for a great IP address, but how do we ensure participation?

For participation, its a chicken and egg story. If we have alot of goodies inside, eg members will get 10% off at sheng siong, you think people will participate or not? But on sheng siong side, if we do not have that many members to let them earn a reasonable profit, will they give that 10% discount?? Just like business lor, it takes time to build up, marketing and creating awareness. But the problem I always see in such initiatives is always the committee itself; being unpaid 'workers', they are only driven by passion. However, there will always been demanding people asking for this and that, so it will act on the committee's morals, 'chi li bu tao hao', eventually the committee members start to drop out and the whole thing will degenerate.Thus, its impt to establish a group of volunteers who are keen on the idea, passionate and will not be easily demoralised by unwanted comments/remarks. Any, erm...volunteers?? Hehe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TYM 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2008 Our neighbourhood is open for balloting again. Surprising to see so many empty units still available in Blk 89 and 90 and the selling price has gone up by quite a lot.http://www101.hdb.gov.sg/hdbvsf/eampu01p.n...?open&ft=be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
