View Full Version : Waterview (D18, 99-year Leasehold, Sim Lian Group)
I paid 40%. Next payment will be 5% maybe in 2 month time.
Yes, no hurry to pay more leh ;), but I think the next two tranches 5% each could come pretty quick as Brick walls already completed (note its mentioned Brick walls, and not dry walls, cause I see most internal dry walls between brs not done yet, and Ceiling for all units already done.
Notice that Lian Beng and Sim Lian adopt different building strategy. For Waterfront Gold, the windows are being put up as the storeys go up whereas for WV, build up to the penthouse first, then do the windows. Looks like can only move in after CNY 2014, even if TOP end Oct 13, 1m collect key, 1 month defects and rectify, already Dec, hard to get contractors etc this period for reno works, but maybe wait longer with downturn can get better rates. :sleep:
so far i paid 2x10%. (maybe cos my stack doesnt progress as fast.)
but i agree with jbtay. i'm not in a rush to move yet cos gal going p1 in 2014. stressful times. must let her settle in then sort out reno would be the better for me. :)

ya hor. i was wondering how the 40% got computed. haha. i need more coffee. :P thanks for correcting me :)
Hi guysg27, what is your stack number?
Looking at the progress, stack 14 and 19 should get called up first.
Hi Bro, mine is stack 29.
Thanks everyone on confirming that only 40% payment is called for.

oh not :doh: CNY 2014 is too late for me.:(
I wish we could move in for X'mas 2013, so just good to arrange school bus for next year ;)
Why do you say the progress is not fast? half of the units are equited with windows. meaning they can start interio already right?
On the meantime, another group of workers are busy for facilities..
i really hope SL can complete everything as they promised by Q3 2013

I also wish we can move in by X'mas next year and looking at the progress guess it should be acheivable. Hope TOP to start by Oct/Nov timeframe.

Double Bay sheduled completion date is May 12, but actual TOP approval date is mid Sept, and I only collected key on early Nov and I'm considered as early batch....
So let's pain the best scenario during this boring afternoon :rolleyes: :
1. July 13 - SL complete as schudule on July (first mth in Q3).
2. Sept 13 - it will take 2 mth to obtain TOP approval.
3. Oct 13 - Key collection
4. Nov 13 - defect report and fixing
5. Dec 13 - quick renovation
6. 22-Dec 13 - move house
7. 25-Dec 13 - X'mas party :D :D
East Lover, u r most optimistic. For me, likely after CNY 2014.

That is how construction work. The first blk to be completed is the genuie pig. Paint, not rite, repaint. The first few units within the block, usually ground floor are the purest geniue pig where the wiring, aircon conduits are laid and see if ok or not, also it will function as some sort of site office after the office containers removed to make way for landscaping. Thats why usually avoid the first completion block and ground units. Just like bake cake lah, the first batch is to warm up, the best are those towards the end.
Just saw a caveat registered for 1324sq ft unit at all time high of 1,133 psf. Any one happen to know the Unit number.
Gives an idea of what to expect once we finish the countdown on final 8. :cheers4:

Sis, if u ask me... This one u really need to do homework... I nearly bot a unit in sentosa cove... I told myself, what the heck, I work so hard, must enjoy lah... So I went searching... Then a unit opposite my current unit was on sale and I bot. Why? So I can live there with my wifey and mum. The other unit, my kid and housekeeper stay. Then my mum decided to move out to stay in her hdb because she missed her friends. :doh:
The rest is history....
It actually depends on a few things :
1. Are u planning for retirement?
2. If u get sea view, your 'savings' etc... Enough for the future?
3. Is the future more important or the current more important?
4. U have enough today for the future.
5. Even if u buy sea view, u will have enough for the future?
For me, I have enough... So if I get something outrageous, still no major "issue". I pay my cars in cash - that's why sales reps hate me. My debts are so low... Because I paid up a few units... Why?? I hate debts even though I know it is good debts... So I balance - people say I wierd, but I tell them I shiok can already...
Sis, a decision is easier made if u can calculate how much u need for retirement and then see if buying sea view will stifle that? But if it something will heart so desire, u really need to see if it is worth it... At the end, my heart was yearning for a roadster, but my brain(wifey) chose cabriolet. I agree it was a wise move... But I will get my roadster 1 day. Hahahaha when all my kids are big... Then u see this old uncle with a 2 seater with the top down driving around waterview. Hahahaha

Sis, I dunno abt your financial status so I can't really comment on which is a better choice for u, but for me, I think both locations are great, otherwise I would not be vested in both locations. These are my fave areas where I could relate as "home" .. I guess everyone has his/her own playground or home ground somehow..
Seaview IMHO is a fantastic project, but the price tag is also fantastic. If vitamin M allows, it will be a great choice to buy for own stay. Parkway parade although old has gotten almost all the big name stores in sg, in addition to the shops at marine parade market central and I12 mall. The east coast beach is also just a few min's walk away, while the Marina Financial Centre is less than 10min's drive away. The project itself has got v nice landscaping as well.
As for WV, the triumph card must be the reservoir park and the reservoir itself, although there were some unwholesome and insensitive jokes made by folks here on the mishaps of others, but I thought the tranquility, being close to the nature plus the fresh air is priceless...

Thank you my bro!
The trigger point is my son's school lah. during school selection, i realised none of the schools we aimed are reachable within 30 mins. so we started to think of relocation :o but as you said in another thread, maybe the 1-hour journey home is the best time for him to see the outside world... we will let him try to take public transport home first, at least for next year.
Since we haven't decided to use our Tropica unit to upgrade for own stay or invest a smaller one near MRT, i will keep my eyes open for 2013... maybe there will be some good buy next year :D

yes, area is where the kiddos playground should be; they are doing suspended precast concrete flooring pc by pc, the brown dots most likely are the anchor hooks from where the slabs are hoisted up in place by the crane, I guess :D

I drove past WV at night yesterday. One of the quarry facing units was lighted-probably the workers@work or having an illegal party(hehehe...)
I tell you, the place is simple and beautiful. I now understand the need to hv blue tinted windows with white washed walls. I'm so very excited when I saw the light glow in the unit. Maybe it's just me.

Sis, steady lah. From Eastlover now you one up become Easylover. Heheh. Nice red avatar. So which is your new love now? WV no love already ar? Hehheh:p
I drove past WV at night yesterday. One of the quarry facing units was lighted-probably the workers@work or having an illegal party(hehehe...)
I tell you, the place is simple and beautiful. I now understand the need to hv blue tinted windows with white washed walls. I'm so very excited when I saw the light glow in the unit. Maybe it's just me.

The makeshift bunker which they dismantled was underused. I only see two of them being utilised and occupied.
So high time they bring it down and get it erected probably at Centrale or Trilliant. Anyway I wonder how many workers on estimate are working at WV project itself. 200 possible?
I can't imagine how they can built a place at such lightning speed even with the help of machines and cranes at their disposal.
The wonders of technology. Maybe they use wizards, elves and witches at night without our knowledge. Hehe. :D

Maybe they hurry hurry release cause news going around Qbay selling ultra cheap. I hv no idea. Just hearsay. From 900psf then heard 950psf. 1050psf to 1250psf even. Latest market crash to 700psf. Fun isn't it? :sleep:

I don't like the layout of the blocks. Typical style these days. So many small pools and cluttered everywhere so tt every unit has a pool view. Alamak, again trying to please everyone.
I still prefer WV neat layout. All combine one huge proper pool. Not only that, it becomes an '8'. Bring luck to all residents also. :D
Sis you can't be serious. You sure they marketing at 1.2k psf? Gosh! They're promising branded fittings for them and marble flooring though.
So from here, we can guage the pricing but let's wait for news directly from them. If they sell 300psf mire than WV, burns Jan, WV will be sold out for sure.

Hey East Lover,
Thanks for all your updates...really great.
I bought from developer and i meant to say i am Stack 35 (block 89).
A bit of a sad story..when wife and i were about to buy, there was 1 high-floor 3+study unit left (stack 36)...only 1 night difference, it was sold. No choice, bought the 3bd room unit on Stack 35. Till today, a tad bit disappointed as the study room would have been very useful :-)

Heh... its probably sales talk. All the blks at the back will hardly get any reservoir view. When I was there on 2nd day of "preview", there was a 4th level stack 9 unit. Regret not making the decision on the day because we were looking for high floors and waited till next day... left only stack 47 :( Even stack 40/43 all taken up from mid-floors onwards.
That said, we're very excited to move in ASAP. The location is really perfect for us. We will really enjoy the reservoir area activities. Only wishing units were bigger. So hoping to get some space saving tips from this forum when TOP.
Also, earlier this year tried call Sim Lian to change some of my unit things but were rejected. Not sure if anyone successful? I wanted them to leave out the "maid" toilet and the kitchen hob. But they rejected even though I'm not expecting any kind of "returns".... strange. Even the floor i asked for them not to do it "free" so that my contractors don't have to dig it up. But they rejected as well..haha. Anyone same experience?
BTW, have a dying question I've been wanting to ask but unable to get in here till now :p
Are the windows casement type? It looks like it from the pictures. Casement windows insulate noise so much better.

Actually, Sim Lian would have allowed the changes if they were requested earlier. I had asked around Q3 last year to remove the maid toilet (bigger yard) and remove the hood and hob too. Also requested other changes like change to marble flooring etc. For things that i remove, they actually net it against the additional costs of having marble flooring etc. Quite a number of our forum mates have successfully requested for the changes. I think Sim Lian "closed shop" on such requests this year.

Heh..ya, it was crazy during the preview. Personally, i was caught by surprise because for most developers, the "good" units are launched at later phase. Not sure why Sim Lian launched all the good units at once. Everyone was scrambling for it. Had a good friend who actually rushed home to get cheque while his agent try his best to "hold" the unit during the time..haha. My agent told me a lot of the reservoir facing units are "pre-booked" by insiders.
The showflat sometimes not accurate de. My current place, showflat was casement and turn out sliding windows. I'm not sure what the agent tell u guys, but they told us the floor was "compressed marble". It was only later on then I realized its just tiles. I can live with the flooring, just that I feel that it creates "dirty" work to remove the toilet later on.
To be honest, I was "tipped" that its cheaper to change the flooring myself because the area is pretty small. I've checked with some contractors and it came up pretty cheap, probably in the region of 5k-10k depending on quality of marble used... but it just will cause a lot of dust / noise etc. So most likely, will adopt to wait and see attitude. Not sure how much Sim Lian charges for upgrade? 4k?

Abt 8k, but it's hassle free. My ID Stan quoted me abt the same price and he highly recommend us to ask SL to do it.
You may check with SL again? I guess they havent start the flooring yet? But for toilet, if simply lay tile may still possible, but like other bro to remove the wall, it will be too late as brick work already completed.
Wish u good luck!

Yupz, hassle-free is key motivation :) Intro your ID to me? I wanna compare a few.
Erm... i tried my very best to sweet talk them already..haha, in fact, I would like to keep the toilet wall so that I can shove my dishwasher / shelves etc in between the walls. They just not very willing to take request at this moment.

Ya.. Same here ... I also tried to get changes accepted few months back but was rejected. Now thinking of getting that done as part of Renovation. Any one can recommend any good ID.

This someone I know personally. Most likely I will use them so that I've more say over the quality of materials used. Plus his style is very similar to what I'm looking for (in general). Nonetheless, I'm also looking around for 1-2 more IDs to compare just so that I have more choices.

I'm really more into clean design and space saving ideas because my WV seems so small for the family of 2 kids
Yeah i got the same amount of quote from a previous ID i used, i guess the $8K amount is not unreasonable.
The challenge is getting contractor to do vs SL is that the levelling of floor near the bedrooms (which is parquet flooring) has to be carefully managed since the bedrooms are done by SL.

Talking abt windows, I think tropica design better. We can casement window can push out fully. In the bottom, we can another kind of design, allow us to push upward. So during raining time, u can still open windows to enjoy the cool fresh air :p
From the progress photos, it seems WV just provide standard casement windows.

I'm really more into clean design and space saving ideas because my WV seems so small for the family of 2 kids
How abt this?
I don't know how practical to climb daily, but seems interesting...

East Lover,
I believe the bed you posted is from IKEA.
I measured it before...there's very little room when trying to fit into a HDB flat. This is too tall. Confirm when kid wakes up, sure knock head :-)
I don't think it will fit WV too.

Mine is 1 kid - 1 room. These are pretty safe, seen it before in other countries. The bed is pretty "light" so the ceiling and hinges can easily hold it. My concern is the mechanism - how long it will work properly without it breaking down.
Keep the ideas coming :)

One of the thing about WV bedroom is the full length window right? At least I remember is full length.... So i'm also trying not to block it as much as possible. This type of bed looks like it will block it majorly... Do you think so?

True. A big waste to block the nice waterview.
So the hidden wall bed could be one of the solution.

Alternative, use platform to steal storage space.

Just curious about bro/sis who bought direct from developer, did they up the price or is it still 800+ psf?
Definitely, a fold-up / hidden wall bed is one of the choices i'm thinking about. But mine will be folding up length-wise, not like the one in pic which is upright fold.
Platform bed also consider, just that is a bit high for kids (afraid), so maybe for MBR.
One thing my contractor told me is to think about whether i will really fold-up the bed regularly, because from his experience, a lot of ppl do it with the idea, but end up leaving the bed down anyway. So we will assess the actual situation when we get the house
Just curious about bro/sis who bought direct from developer, did they up the price or is it still 800+ psf?
I'm only aware of a friend who bought 1 yr after me. The price is still same as launch pricing although he faces the "quarry view".

My wife and I do our own laundry, except the heavy stuff like large curtains and bed sheets, and ironing as well. We need music whilst we gather the dry clothings and watch TV whilst we do the ironing. She needs her Taiwan and Korean soap opera whilst I watch the biz news :D . So intends to organise and do up the yard a bit, since SL allocate such a big space, might as well use it properly. Will be using bamboo blinds, painted black and white stripes with pvc backing, hope that should keep out the rain. Likely have a wireless speaker there with wifi to log into tunein.com for endless music from any station worldwide :D . Still undecided if want to put a TV there, depends on where we decide to do the ironing. Will have proper clothes racks, hangers, storage etc. Space behind the MBR door (which we have asked SL to seal up with wall instead) is good place for some storage cabinets. Most likely will have aluminium laundry rods just below the toilet windows, that can fold down when not in use. Not decided yet whether front load washer or top load washer and whether to have dryer in case rainy days. Quite a lot of details to work at in the coming months. :cool:
Looks great but I am likely going to use most of the 2nd balcony space for storage, thinking if there is economic way to build a storage rack which is water and rust proof. Will cost :2cents:

65wx4=260cm. Abt 1k. Will 45cm depth too shallow? 184cm height too low? Can store a lot of things?
I'm thinking of that space behind MBR, that wall space depth is about 60cm and width about 130 cm, can take 2 pcs. Depends on what you want to store. Simple things like detergent, iron, laundry stuffs I think should be ok. Would not be deep enough to hang clothes hangers though. Height should be ok. Should be able to take compact to large luggage sizes i.e. 63x36x21 cm to 76x48x29 cm.
Alternative storage area is of course HS, but will be putting fridge in there plus dry pantry for tin foodstuff and dry goods.
Mops, brooms and wet stuff will be in toilet (minus WC). Will change shower head to jet spray for washing etc. :D
I am thinking of getting my maid to sleep on the upper deck of the HS , and the lower deck for storage.. i have already started spring cleaning in my current place with the expectation to bring minimum things across to WV next year.. haha

My HS needed to be used for maid room, so is the toilet. The only place I can utilize id the 2.7m wall behind my 4th room in the backyard. If I build up a waterproof cabinet with 60cm depth, that will give me 1.62sqtm storage. If build up to ceiling, that's 4.2 m3. Can host a lot of things right?
For small things like shampo, shower cream etc, I will build a mini shelf between maid toilet n HS. Saw the showflat in WFI, quick like that idea.

It is a tight squeeze indeed. WV kitchen is really small, so my intention is to squeeze in these stuff into kitchen + 2nd balcony + toilet space
1. Oven
2. Washing machine
3. Dryer
4. Dish washer
5. Tons of cooking stuff like cooker / toaster / lots of sauces etc.
Actually, I've been looking at the layout for a while. It looks very do-able if I move the oven & rice cooker "outside" the kitchen....
Now my main issue is since I've used up the 2nd balcony as clothes yard and machine space & ironing. I've not much other place to store other things like
Big items like
1. Kids books
2. Piano
3. Tons of DVD and CD (am thinking of just dumping them...haiz)
4. Tons of soft toys that my little girl wants to keep
in fact, my current Home theater system may have to be downsized, am using a full sized one currently

Look at the layout, just out the kitchen to the HS. There is a small corner. I'm thinking to build up that corner and put my oven and rice cooker there :p. And build it all the way up to ceiling so that I can put some of the non-essential kitchen stuff too...

Have to admit, it's very very challenge job to squeeze everything into much smaller house and still want it look spacious and class :D
But hoh, I went to see several smaller units recently, our WV is not that scary lah.... As long as u know how to maximize the utilization, it will look nice ;)

Since there is no attached bathroom for 4th room, so the layout is quite efficient in fact.

Oh no. I'm already having constant headache thinking of a five room downscaling to a 1130. But again not of us face the same challenge and dilemma.
After clearing the storeroom yesterday I think smaller space also good lah. Less rubbish and easier to manage. Not too small also lah. Quite decent for a simple lifestyle.
If you are not selling off your HDB, you could consider renting the flat excluding one of the smaller bedroom. Then use that room to store the stuffs u wanna keep but no place/not suitable to store in WV.

After clearing the storeroom yesterday I think smaller space also good lah. Less rubbish and easier to manage. Not too small also lah. Quite decent for a simple lifestyle.

Good point.if u lock one room, definitely will impact the rental. Tenant may offer 4-rm price for ur 5-rm flat.
Alternatively, u may want to put into those spare storage type warehouse if its cheaper than the diff. Or, if ur skin thick enough, put into ur in-law house :D :D :D

Bro let me scare u a bit more, since today is 21-12-2012 :D :D :D
I went to kipo my neighbor units in DBR. Both are 3+study, around 1367 Sqft. One still under renovation, another just move in.
First I went to the vacant unit, I was impressed by the spacious living hall n balcony, and nice pool view with waterfall, btw its pretty quiet. Then I went to next door, owner was so proud to show me every room. But hoh, with the ID work everywhere and king/queen size beds, it looks so crowed ! :beats-me-man:
Think of their size 1367, now I haven't confidence of our little one liao, don't forget we have super huge backyard.... How much will be our actual living space? If we managed to squeeze everything in, will it look nice?? :scared-5:

Des quire, u r welcome. Just normal photo takings.
Don't worry about the space constraints. Nowadays many products are cleverly designed to save space. Unlike the past we need lots of cabinets and book shelves, nowadays most stuffs have gone digitized ie. ebooks, e-statements, photos, e-documents.
Even the mops and brooms have extendable handles which u can retract them for storage. CRT tv replaced by LCD/LED Tv, so do we still need such big and deep tv console? Or simply just mount on the wall? With smart tv around, do we still need a DVD player and cd racks?
Haha ...

Sis, think we have no choice but to adopt the "less is more" concept and use the minimalist look. Stan should be the expert here. Create a lot of ceiling height storage space and hide most things for that clean look. and of course, to throw at least half of what we have collected over the years. If haven't seen, use or touch it for last 6 months, ain't never gonna need it.

You're right bro. I kept so many things in my storeroom for the past 12yrs for the sake of pity. No heart to throw. Always think I need them but they have never left the storeroom. Not for a minute even. Finally all down the chute.
I admire you people can use ID. I can't cause of my antique collection. Just doesn't fit. It has to be walls and walls and simple stuff. Else look weird. No zen, no ID. Alamak, you all do up your hse then demo to me lah.
My block will definitely be the last to get the glittering keys. So we can visit you guys and kepo and you can demo. Sis Eastlover and Kengar. Thanks for the hospitality. Hahahah. ;)

I was told 230 for my 1130 unit. The lowest I heard of them all. Dunno how true. These days so many cheaters out there. Web after TOP they say 300 what can we do? Anyway the fee will keep on increasing. Heard even after the first year. Typical right nothing new. Bully tactics. :ashamed1:

Bro, first year is fixed... After that SL will hand over to new committee... New committee will decide new rate. Most of the time will up, because sinking fund needs to accumulate...

Yes, you are right. A long term capital equipment replacement plan is usually drawn up and the amortisation schedule will indicate how much sinking fund is needed to be collected.
Also equipment is new and under warranty in the first year so no need to spend so much on maint. But over the years, equipment deteriorate and that's where the cost starts to increase. The more fancy facilities you have, the more you pay. Usually, the highest maintenance cost items are cleaning services, guard services and lift maintenance services.
The incoming MC shld comprise members who can spend wisely and not splurge on unnecessary stuff. Not easy to find a group of honest and sincere folks who want to work for the good of the community with no pay or perks. Most likely just get brick-bracks when things go wrong and silence when things go right. :(

Was double checking visually my kitchen appliances (because I find kitchen the hardest to maintain if not properly laid out).
I realized we still have a slow cooker, a steamer, a fryer, juicer..... think may have to get rid of some appliances :( Because we still have big items like salad bowl, pots and pans etc.... how ah? WV kitchen really tiny.
That's why I bought an old resale condo and completely renovated the kitchen. The new condos are designed for people who don't cook at home.
Strictly speaking you don't need so many appliances. My maid does frying and steaming in one big wok. You can also cook rice in a normal pot, no need for rice cooker. We stopped using the slow cooker long ago, it consumes a lot of electricity.

What you need is one oven and one vacuum cooker to tackle the soup without gas or electricity. That would handle most of the basic cooking.

My maid also use small wok to steam rice. We have no rice cooker also. And slow cocker hide deep deep inside. In fact, many thing can reuse. I even request to install an oven in WV kitchen at my own cost. I believe we can manage the space well. :spliff:

so, you are using gas to cook the rice? not electricity?
i notice my bill increase when i boil water with those electric boiler.. really can drink the 'electricity'
Yes, in fact, any pot can cook rice. If want more even cooking, use a claypot. Just have to watch the fire. The advantage of rice cooker is keeping the rice warm and also modern cooker - perfect cook all the time :). Also, u can use rice cooker for a lot of one-dish meals and cook stew etc. Its more useful than just cooking rice.
Actually, if chinese food is not your thing, then oven is the be-all, end-all appliance to have. You can literally cook everything hassle free. Unfortunately, for my family, every meal have to be chinese food.
As for electric water pot, yes, those consumed a lot of power. Better to boil and pour out into another thermal flask. You'll be amaze how much it saves. So for us, we'll use a kettle and thermal flask.
To all WVers, A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
