redbottle 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) i went to the Hbay's SAFE (see-and-feel excursion) earlier this month, and the RAFT (reno awareness fun tour) last saturday...the SAFE tour brought us to see a HDB apartment in Seng Kang and a terrace house in Changi, both done by this ID firm called ID Emboss... the RAFT tour brought us to Seng Lee, a laminate supplier (laminates for cabinets etc) and to Hafary, a tile supplier... so, we can hear first-hand info from the suppliers, instead of thru' the IDs... of cos, there's a bit of sales talk, but also a lot of general information from the experts themselves... each tour is $5 to cover transportation, refreshments and a goody bag...the tour also brings us to the showroom of an ID firm to get quotations... for SAFE, i went to ID Emboss... for RAFT, i went to Urban Interiors...if interested, can give the person-in-charge a call to find out more:Alice62975503http://www.hbay.com.sg/ Edited July 31, 2007 by redbottle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

green_tranquility 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Hi all,I may have to give up on the house. Does that mean I will lose the full $2000 fee? If I find another owner to take over, can I get my $2000 back? I agree to let in-laws move over with us because I feel it's a son's duty to take care of parents. Now the sis wants to move over with us too! She lives off in-laws and doesn't give a single cent to in-laws even after she works for years. If she moves over, it means my BF has to pay for her everything too! She wants to divorce her hubby 2 months after marriage so she is staying with her parents now. She owns her own house. Though her other married sis (without kids) asked her to move in with her, she rejected. Of course la, she wants to stay with her parents because they pay for everything. She's mentally not stable and will faint almost every month whenever she blows her top. I already got a BIG scolding from her when my BF wants his parents sell house and move in with us. We asked his parents to keep the $$$ as their retirement funds.I suspect something fishy when her sis suddenly treated me very well at the other visit. My life will be nightmare when I stay with her. She is so hard to get along with Edited July 31, 2007 by green_tranquility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linggie 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 Oh no I am so sorry to hear that babe its getting more and complicated it seem. It is easy to find another buyer, i can easily think of 4 couples friends who balloted with me but couldnt get a unit but the issue is whether HDB allows. As my bf is in a high risk profession, we asked the hdb officer in case of anything mishap (touch wood), what will happen? she told me i can find another guy to buy the house with me (dont know the time frame given to me to find a new guy ) or either of my parent (who already owns a flat) or a elder sibling who is over a certain age (not too sure the age criteria now)I do hope things will turn out alright ya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
green_tranquility 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Thanks Linggie,Once we went out makan, she would sit down and asked parents to order food and drinks for her like princess. She ate Cheong Fun (50 cents), she also didn't want to pay herself!I also hope nothing happens to your BF! Dun worry, SAF is safe nowadays, there are many safety procedures in place.
