Think positively in the future...
With more and more condo/EC/HDB built around the bedok lake, it will be a densely populated area...which means there will be more and more ppl jogging/playing/fishing/boating around the lake. So, many ppl are watching, such unhappy thing have less chance to happen... correct?
It is not natural anymore. I thought we want to have good reservior view and closer to water and nature. We have not heard of anyone jumping into the pond at botanical garden. Fencing is too artificial.
Agree on the artificial look, perhaps plant greeneries covering the fence? I think there are designate entry area for the water activities, they should not be affected. Any way I doubt much they will respond or take action.
Damage is already done. Let's move on to e next hottest sites.

Is the picture showing 2 lift doors per floor serving 2 units on each side? And in total 4 lifts per floor?
Or is that the bombshelter door? :D

Bombshelter!:)
the living areas and back yard are quite defined from the photo, with the steel work exposing the main structural walls of the unit.
Big Thanks East Lover!

Its usually, one lift shaft with 2 lifts side by side, one of which will be designated fireman's lift in case of fire.
hopefully, we will not experience the teething problems at cbtp where its 39 storeys and the lifts are behaving erratically and doesn't stop at certain floors due to some software bug. :doh:

Hello guys n gals, I checked with Shirley. It's possible to omit the "L" shape wall betw wc room and the yard. For those who is interested to convert the wc room to a dry area, this might be useful.
Cheers.

Cool.. u can put a super large fridge in that space.
I agree the current allocated fridge space is really small. I already find my current fridge (size similar to the SL one) not enough to use for 2 adults + 1 baby.

Yup don't forget about me when you purchase the household items k. We will tag together. As for the home itself, I will not be using any ID. Mainly keep it nice and simple. Just maybe need reno contractor to do the rain shower, toilet spray, wall paint, electrical-lightings, racks in storeroom, curtains and blinds for kitchen balcony and possibly living room balcony if it is permitted. Other than that, nothing much for me. :p

True bro. Funny world for weird people. They always go for the more expensive ones. Hehe. Hmmmm:D
The bed can be flipped up to the wall to keep is it?
Yup. It can be folded up to save space when not in use. However, I think it's not 'cosy'. Hehe. I prefer a bed I can jump to!!:D
If anyone wants to buy mattress, we an also go for group buy. That day tried to cheek out this 'Sleep to Live' or whatever it's called over at Courts. A queen sized custom-made and so called scientific mattress will set me back by at least 9k. Might as well get the normal ones.

All the showflat fake one... should be expensive to install fan or even air cond in such a thick wall right?

I think there will be a ventilation hole at the top of the door of the shelter. IMO WV's bomb shelter should be quite ventilated since it is positioned along the large service balcony, unless there are alot of things being placed there.

Will it be dark if u install full height wooden door? Not only outside bomb shelter but also the kitchen? Kitchen ralies the light from dinning hall n back balcony...
Shall we request SL to install 1 panel window grids for all the units? for security purpose. Possible? Maybe our dear bro Kengar can help?:D

Yes FOC for service balcony...
I heard last time tropica 2 bedder units complained a lot for the water problem as water fall inside during raining day. Then hong loeng installed a class panel outside each unit to resolve the problem.
If all the units have same security issue as 2 units just tooo close, I think we should have the right to demand developer to fix it. Install window grides or glass panel nvr mind.

you are right, it would be dark, maybe full metal gate then; also thinking of removing kitchen door, since I have a full gate at that wall between toilet and washing machine. Kitchen door unless its sliding type will be in the way.
If panel windows can be fixed for the half wall balcony, that would be the best outcome. :cheers6: Not hopeful though. May need to wait one year when new MC formed.

This is getting a bit out of hand and wonder what will and can be done to prevent such cases. Just hope that no fences will be erected around the reservoir waters to limit access as it will definitely spoil the view...
Another case:
INGAPORE - Another body has been found at Bedok Reservoir this morning, the fifth such incident in just five months. Police have cordoned off a section of the reservoir bank, directly opposite to housing block 717.
An eyewitness Yeo Kin Kiat, 53, told AsiaOne that the body was pulled up by police officers at about 7.25am.
Sources said the body belonged to a woman, and she was wearing a red top.

This is getting a bit out of hand and wonder what will and can be done to prevent such cases. Just hope that no fences will be erected around the reservoir waters to limit access as it will definitely spoil the view...
It's true, no point fencing the area. There's always the sea and other skyscrapers which they can have access to. Endless ways to die that we can go on debating about it. We can even author a book of 1001 ways to die.
This has nothing to do with WV and properties around the reservoir or whatsoever of such. It's just sad knowing a recurrence of an incident like this. The main area of concern should be the lives of the people (not only Singaporeans, but a 'life' in general.
This world has become such a difficult place to live in, so many stress and social problems everywhere. With such high living standards and the rat race existing even among the young, problems like this will only escalate. Just look at the current property, COE and food prices which is set to climb only higher with time...
Earthquakes, floods and disasters happen just like a weekend getaway... too often than not... :( :( :( :(

Same for Block 95 too, but think of it this way, we get to pay last but all needs to TOP at same time. Ha ha.
Also, let the architect and surveyor make sure they got all their measurements and alignment correct in the other blocks so that when they work on ours, all the fine tuning has been done.
I doubt much work has been done as it had been raining quite a bit lately.

It looks the speed is not 1 floor per month. :tongue3:
One more body found this morning, a Chinese man around 9.15am.
Probably around Sheng Siong side since I saw nothing between Aquarius to Waterview when I went for my morning walk.
My friend who jog around 10am saw the inter-religious group praying at the floating platform. May they all rest in peace.:(

The scenario is like multi suicides case at FOXCONN in China.

Today Sim Lian advertised Big Big in Straits Times for Parc Vera, Waterview and A Treasure Trove. Must be having good budget from recent success of ATT.

So far I think around 6units recorded sold in October. Probably somewhat like 127units left unsold. This accounts for 82% of sold units.
People say price around reservoir will drop big time and this and that. If got shy reservoir unit drop, do alert me. I shall grab another unit. I'm afraid no ghost!!!:D

Technically speaking, Bedok Reservoir is too small to fit many rowing sports, unless seagame 2015 could shrink the norm.
BTW, rephrase of the goal set 10 years ago when MBT was the Sport Minister:
SG football team in WorldCup 2010 Final
SG sport top 10 in Asia
Need revise liao...replace the goal with SEA game, sure can.;)

It's said by Mayan calender, something important will happen in Dec 21th, 2012 when solar system is inline with galaxy center.
The earth magnetic pole will slowly shift, likely followed by earth rotating axis change...then, west sun is not an issue for these stacks.
Other stacks might be in trouble...:D:D

This rotation of magnetic pole conciding with Mayan calender is new to me. The Earth's magnetic poles definitely have reversed several times in the past. It will affect earth crust stability, the ocean flows and the climate patterns.

It should speed up when the rainy season is over. Was reported that Sim Lian profits jumped ninefold to $103m in Q1 compared to previous year, something to do with their UE.1 industrial project in Paya Lebar. Hope WaterView will progress steadily with GOOD QUALITY :sleep:
By the time the rainy season over the showflat should be closed? We are expecting it to close in Feb 2012 :scared-5:
Anyway Waterview is left with 106 units, 84.7% sold!

84.7% looks inline with those other projects which are not near to MRTs.
The construction for stacks near the gate is progressing well.. now it nearly blocks the entire view of the stacks at the back. Bro Desquire must be happier now! :D

sorry to spoil the party, but found this info from http://www.ura.gov.sg/circulars/text/dchbgfa/Part1-5gfa.pdf
Balcony screens can be allowed provided that they comply with the following performance criteria:
a) The proposed balcony screens allow for natural ventilation within the balcony at all times;
and
b) The proposed balcony screen is capable of being drawn open or retracted fully.
it does not comply with a).
a balcony that can be fully enclosed and sealed will break ura regulations it seems, though i would consider it too if allowed.

Would the backyard still be considered a balcony, since unlike the front balcony, we will have washing machine, etc. Shouldn't that area be considered internal i.e. we can do what we like for internal so long it doesn't cause any structural issues. Anyway URA can't be serious. This looks like century old rules, and no one bothers to review. Surely URA can't be insisting for natural ventilation "at all times" even when it is raining.
Sometimes a letter to Strait Times forum page will set minds thinking at the top. Incidentally, the CEO of ST also Cman of URA.
Lets see the response from SL first.

True bro. Rules an be tweaked and changed to suit to current situations. I believe by then, maybe future condos will have it installed during purchase. It will solve many problems and keep the place neat at the same time.

oh those regulations are recent enough, which includes the following mention, "The GFA of the balconies is allowed to be computed over and above the Master Plan control, subject to a cap of 10%, and "With effect from 1 Jan 2009, bay windows in all types of developments will be counted as GFA, regardless of dimensions and materials, " both of which are recent changes after review.
actually i did ask an architect friend in-charged of a current condo (upcoming bedok reservoir one), n he said that screens with holes are allowed, but govt will not approve those that can become air-tight.
but no harm asking sim lian, who will ultimately still has to revert to the architect, who then has to adhere to all the regulations. on the off-chance it's possible, i also want to install, n all owners with big balconies will be very happy :D
i did not buy a unit here at wv, btw. but whoever that's going to ask sl keep us posted :cheers1:
if all depends on the condo
but check first b4 u do
in my condo, all have to come down....as long as it affects GFA
yup. because if it can be fully enclosed it will be considered part of gfa, and not part of the bonus 10% gfa granted to new condos. so the chances of getting approval for new condos is bleak. for those old condos where balcony is part of the actual gfa, owners can do whatever they want, with condo management approval.

Eastlover sis: Thanks for the great research! The smart windows are really cool. Even though our unit doesn't have the back balcony, I would love to have them for our front balcony - can enlarge living space!
Hopped over to ATT and Palette earlier today. I must say they are impressive in their own ways. Pricing for ATT is so attractive and they kinda hv less than like 50units left for taking I think. Almost sold out.
CDL's Palette was also attractively priced. Both developments near MRT. The toilet over here is beautiful and practical. Just that the ID work probably camouflaged then real thing.
At the end of it all. I still stick my guns to WV. It's a view to a kill, something rare amongst condo these days. Apart from the reservoir, I would say that other developments are really attractive in their own ways. Oh, not forgetting that our blocks are also a distant apart from the two I mentioned.
Feel like buying another one but the quest willnever end. At the end of it all, it's about having a home, not $$$ all the time. WV doing quite alright with124 units left. Hehe. :D
My gut feel a MRT line will sprout out near Tampines Ave 10/WV/Tropica/Arc in future connecting to UWC, Ikea/Giant ... so much land left to develop there.. stay tuned .. :cheers1:

Both Quarry and Bedok reservoir got very deep water, not easy for MRT line to cut thru. :spliff:
Look at Line10
I think they should tunnel under Tampines Ave 10 as it will cut between the quarry and reservoir, and then connect to Bedok Town Park Station.. i remember I saw Bedok Reservoir being dug when i was still a little boy :p

In fact I can imagine it to be a very nice place should it be upgraded. In terms of having another station there maybe not in their agenda. By the time MRT built there dunno if we still at WV. Haha.

Took public bus to work today and passed by Waterview.
From the upper deck bus view, the progress of the construction looks good.. reservoir facing stacks are well into the 3rd floor, and the rest of the stacks are either at 2nd or just done with the 1st.
The upper deck of bus can easily see the Quarry and pocketed view of the reservoir, so WV residents on the first floor should have some views too since the actual ground floor is carpark..
Can't wait for TOP! :D
Haha BR is way too "hot".. 3 bedder is $1,300 psf.. ours is cheap cheap at $800++ psf, maybe too much water for WV.

Haha BR is way too "hot".. 3 bedder is $1,300 psf.. ours is cheap cheap at $800++ psf, maybe too much water for WV.
Haha. Water put off the fire long ago liao. Hehe. :D

In the sitemap from WV booklet, quite strange there is no sauna facility.
Looks should have for most condos.
Can someone bring some light to this?

If I am not wrong, there will be a sauna probably in the pool's changing room. I am expecting it to be a small one. Anyone can confirm on this?:p

Well Tropica has 2 sauna rooms in the changing rooms, but very very under usage. so i guess SL saved the cost of building that....
but hor, Tropica have 2 tennis courts, and half courts for practise, but WV only have one, and beside car park.... :scared-3: the more exercise, the more waste air will breath in:scared-4: .....

I agree with East Lover, that unless there is high usage, may be better not to have PROVIDED SL really focused on doing a proper job for the BASIC necessities. From what I have been reading from the Clover site, even something as basic as hot water for the bathrooms, does not seem to be done properly eg installing heater in the yard, (when kitchen does not even have hot water - which I accept as not really necessary in the local context), but installing in the yard means long run of piping to both bathrooms which result in cold water collecting in the pipes, which have to be drained away, each time one takes a bath. This is also what I am experiencing at Aquarius for the common bathroom and I had hoped this will not be repeated at Waterview. One mitigation is for SL to provide insulation for the hot water pipes to keep the water hot, but even better is to site the heater closer to the bathrooms (eg for the MBR bathroom at Aquarius, the electrical storage heater is at the false ceiling space in the bathroom); but if SL decides to use gas water heater, then there is an issue of ventilation of the exhaust gases to prevent build-up of carbon monoxide.
Hope SL and Design Link come up with practical and sensible solution and not present residents a problem that we have to live with EVERY DAY.

From what I have now found out from reliable sources, SL and Design Link have taken into consideration the long run of hot water piping, and for those piping longer than say 15m, the Ferolli gas heater with inbuilt pump was installed rather than the basic version. The pumped unit has a feature where water in the pipe is somehow recirculated back to the heater and reheated. Kudos to them as this is indeed an improvement. Unfortunately for some, if their piperun is just below 15m or so, then this feature is not available but hopefully, the stagnated cold water should be lesser.
Understand also that gas water heater will be installed at WV and location most likely be near the aircon ledge.

hi bro jbtay, thanks a lot for your knowledge sharing! didn't know it's gas water heater... sorry to ask a layman question - is it safe? :ashamed1:

i waiting for ARCHIPELAGO! might just invest in that if my finances become more manageable...just downgraded my car, closed some counters...for better liquidity....:banghead:
Archipelago should be much lesser in price compared to Bedok Residences. Probably in the range of the Waterfront Series, slightly higher. Hehe. Nice location too at the edge. The distance to the reservoir is bot as close at WV. Even Tropica is a little inner. WV front blocks get it right at their doorstep almost. Eastlover, Kengar correct? Your blocks are already up and pretty close apart from the drain. Hehe.

Gas water heater is safe as it will have all the safety features, eg if flame goes out, solenoid valve will shut the gas flow, or no water flow, main valve will not open. Also as heater most likely at the aircon ledge, pipe run to bathrooms will be fairly short.

i like this idea! so we will have much more choice of fridge rather than expensive Folio... .
what did she say? OK? any impact to the already very small cooking area?
by the way, didn't have mode to take photo as the progress is toooooooo slow, no much diff from last mth.
I asked her if any additional costs, she says does not think so.
I think I will still have enough space, since my wife doesn't cook much. But not sure about the future. In fact, the reduced space might actually be more than my current kitchen table top space. Haha. :D
My other consideration is ceiling fan.. should i have 2 ? One for living hall, one for dining? Or just have one at the living hall? But dining area will be stuffy.
Having 2 ceiling fans looks abit overwhelming in a small space.
Any comments? :beats-me-man:

I have always love a 2-dr fridge. Just not fated. Haha. I scout around and have seen a very nice Samsung latest model fridge which will be nicely tucked around the corner. After much thought, even my current fridge suits me fine. Have to eliminate the 'wants' and 'needs' and be practical about it.
As for the fan, I will be getting a ceiling one too (powerpoint will not be a problem for fixture right? I'm not too sure about this) just for the main living room. Anyway, the air-con is just a button away in times of emergency. Hehe. But having another at the dining area will be great too!!
I have spoken to Shirley of late too (shhhhh). She told me that the gate from the kitchen to the kitchen balcony cannot be removed now as it's against the ....... (whatever).......
Thus, I was advised to use my own renovation contractor to do it for me upon TOP. At the same time, i told her to remove my kitchen door (make it similar to showflat) for ease of movement. Dor here, there and everywhere!!!!:D

which is better??? archipelago or WV??? But the layout is really superb!! Would love to own one at half that price. hehehehehh. wait for economic downturn, I sure whack one unit there!!

I'm no investor. I buy fir own stay like I think many would at WV. Apart from space, it bleeds to sell such a unit away upon TOP unless the space really can't make it. I'm still worried over the fact that the showflat is a 'blown-up' from the original.
With a quiet and convenient location apart from the MRT and amenities all around, there's no reason to let it go apart from space constraint. The blocks layout are fantastic with sufficient parking lots and low maintenance fees. I'll keep for sure!! No two ways about it. :tsk-tsk:

Now the question is shall we go for 85cm or 91cm for more fexibility? i will go Courts to check the normal fridge size, hehehe. if the trend is going to smaller, then i go for 85cm. my current one is 2-door with beverage bar and instant ice water dispenser, very good looking with white flower, however the right section is too small to store normal food, and the left section is too big to store frozen food... my hubby said i can buy whatever type of fridge as long as i like it!;) :rolleyes:

no discount leh, agent said no much impact as WV is targeting to HDB upgrader, usually this is their 2nd house, no need to pay 3% woh.
btw, sales pretty good, already 90% sold liao. only 70+ left, even better than bedok residences, still got 90+ units left (of course 3/4 bedders)
That means over 50 units sold in the past month ?

I drove past a few minutes ago and there were 3 couples with umbrellas walking through the door.

Yes, I agree with desquire. I think SL will not give any discount or FV after the CM. The reason is to be fair the the early buyers.
I am one of victim on the 2nd cooling measure.
I place my 5% cheque on Tuesday.
The CM announced on Thursday and launched in the next day.
I ask the agent whether will I have any discount or FV or waive stamp duty for my case, and they told me "NO" due to be fair to early buyers. I ask if I pull back my 5% cheque and he tell me maybe I will lost 25% of my 5% payment. I can only move forward to accept 16%, 12% 8% & 4% cooling measure. The only excuse to make me feel happy is I bought WV for my own stay and not investment.

but i did see many time ppl walk to showflat... most likely after saw the sky high price opp the hill, then might as well take a look at WV, then they found out it's super cheap (1200psf without view vs 850psf with quary view but road noise), then they signed the dotted line loh.:rolleyes:
yesterday before went to reservior jogging, saw a big family walking to showflat...
anyway, as long as no much left, SL no worry liao, should be full speed now. agent said the longest time is foundation, once completed, the rest should be fast. he even said we may be able to collect key around Oct. so high chance we can celabrate our X'mas at WV on 2013!:cheers4:

You can complain to MOM. It is not allowed.
for a limited period only
developer is giving the 3% ABSD reimbursement for affected buyers upon TOP
anyone interested to buy?
WV showflat will be closed on 22 Dec '11 - 5 Jan '12 for the festive season
Viewing during this period is by appointment only on Sat/Sun 4-6pm
make an viewing appointment with me! :D
Was on leave today and went to take some outdoor shots, noticed that all the reservoir stacks will get almost a direct west sun. In fact, the quarry view stacks are not facing west sun at all for now. Perhaps the Sun will set at a different "west" during each part of the year.

Was on leave today and went to take some outdoor shots, noticed that all the reservoir stacks will get almost a direct west sun. In fact, the quarry view stacks are not facing west sun at all for now. Perhaps the Sun will set at a different "west" during each part of the year.
Thanks for your good update! :)
I know our reservior staks are facing south-west, so second of half year should be as hot as its price.

Hey Brothers and Sisters

There will be a designated point at the 2nd Balcony just beside the maid's toilet. The drainage, power point and water supply were not "featured" at the showflat.

Last Saturday afternoon I was wandering in the WV showroom for almost one hour, during that time I didn't see any other bird.;)
When walking through the path to showroom, I lifted my eyes and saw the crane hovering back and forth, with tons of counterweight stone in the arm, just over my head!!!!:scared-4: :scared-4:
What if the stone falls...:scared-2:
I tell myself: don't visit the show room again
Oh my!!!! Thank God you're safe. This is dangerous!!!:simmering:

I think you Pinevale (by Capitaland) can be added to the list as well.
It's located at Tampines Street 73, not literally around the reservoir, but still considered near i guess.
Of the whole list my fav is The Tropica and Waterview reservoir facing units. Very quiet, serene and peaceful ambience for own stay :D and value for money.
These units will have minimal impact of recent cm.

If need to choose quarry facing (+road noise+west sun) and tampines ave 1 facing (only road noise), i think quary facing is still better!
luckily the bus stop is at Tropica side, and there is no unit in tropica directily facing it, otherwise the bus noise is even worse than consistant road noise...
i saw one unit opp the reservior, view super nice, but master bedroom outside is bus stop, even high floor, also can't tahan....

Any cost effective measures in house 装修 to isolate road noise?
I saw in airport, people can't hear people separated by a sheet of glass.:D very impressive noise isolation

Sound relies on air molecules to vibrate to transmit. So no air means no sound.
Airport is 24/7 air-conditioned. How about your place?

Merry X'mas my dear FEC brothers & sisters!
Need to seek your opinion - did you notice that the TV point in showflats are diferent in 3 bedder and 4 bedder?
which side is better?
1. 4 bedder - close to kitchen side - so you can have more choices for sofa?
2. 3 bedder - opp to kitchen side - make the living hall looks bigger?

Sis, the wait for 2013 is running my dry. A reno contractor might help with the trick. They can almost do anything that we wish. It just depends on how we want it to be done and how deep our pockets are.
Just that those not in tune with management and obvious, we have to pass. Things like fixtures to balcony etc. Other than that, we can have our call!! Hehe.
It's the New Year soon. Happy breathing-fire guys!!!:D

By the way, I can see a bit of 4th floor in block 77 & 79 from the floating platform. does it mean 4th floor can have water view also?:D :D

Yes blk 79 first, follow by 77.
Btw weekend during exercise, I went to the oppt hill to kei po - the average is $1100 psf, and hardly no view!
if 4th floor can have waterview, that's good news for wv owners. in fact, the view from the showflat which is 1st floor, also not bad. WV is really a goooooood buy! congrates to all FEC members!
Happy New Year!
