OnePostWonder 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 Yo, why not laminate flooring? can share more? what is floating effect?some parts of the floor has warped, thus it feels spongy...the way to prevent such things from happening is to use 1 whole piece instead of several pieces together...u can go to Furniture Mall, the 1st shop, "La Casa" or something... wow, their laminate flooring sure is scary... enough to put me offUpdated on 5 August 2007 BLK 25A- redbottle- loobhlinda- pertBLK 25B- Linggie & KhooK- Green- MsBeanBLK 26A-BLK 26B- dunkmycar- noellechua- lynnnie- dorcas- Vacis + moonbellBLK 26C- elaine1205- ZLia- Cindy-Monkeybone- chewyBLK 26D- OnePostWonder - jj2- Princess Momo- rommie- binzz- kriegs- wonsen- Velynn- SimpleboiBLK 27A- xlan- nemofc- bchew- Yang Guo- Seafaith- chaq- Jasch- glaminnBLK 27B- VinceDelfino Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msbean 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 Hi Neighbours,Went to the estate today 12 plus. There are lots of uncles near blk 25A. Seems like they are contractors who are more than happy to show you around either 4 or 5 room units depending on your preferences.An uncle showed us a unit on the 19th floor. 4 room 90 sqm. A bit disappointed because the unit is smaller than what we had anticipated. Our unit is at Blk 26B 4 room and it is 85 sqm so it is even smaller. Dont think our initial plan of having a walk in wardrobe in the MBR can materialize. Even a raised platform at the end of the living may have to go.A cleaner even left the rooftop access door open when we "accidentally" took the lift with him to the 24th floor. Manage to sneak up to Blk 25A's rooftop to take a breather and enjoy the scenic view of the area. Hope you all meet the cleaner there when you are visiting. Lastly, for my immediate neighbours at 26B, dont think we are getting the keys any sooner cos I can see from the rooftop that most of the fixtures in our units are not even installed yet. What a disappointment!Enjoy your excursion to Jalan Membina!YA it is small , i also feel disappoint nevermind try think the bright side , can save money dun need buy too many furniture or reno too much . One thing mop floor also save a lot of time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vacis 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 that's the unit that i saw toohey, that's the unit that i saw. To correct, that unit is 85sqm and not 90sqm. We did checked with the uncle because we saw the unit so small as compare to where we staying now. Hope the owner of that unit is okay that we go in ... Hi Nemofc,The unit I saw is #19-100. Should be the same unit you saw too. Seems like it is the show unit for all of us. Went thru the price list and it is 90 sqm, not 85 sqm. Ha ha I really cant imagine what 85 sqm would be like.Nevermind, just contented to be living in the prime estate with friendly neighbours. Smaller means easier to maintain too. btw Nemofc, you play soccer? Nemo Football Club??? Just curious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kriegs 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 Hey kriegs,You view the flat from our blk 26D????yup. 'some1' brought us up. Quite windy when i was up there, the view is nice too.xlan, that's not some kind of weird "design". it is actually one of the tiles - flower print design. And it appear on other side of the wall. Actually, i saw the hanging thing, very big lei, really headache whether to remove it or not.. this design is sure weird. it extend inside the kitchen. Which mean u cant cook when your clothes are drying... to me simply is a bad design wonder who came up with this, not at all practical Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
