View Full Version : Waterview (D18, 99-year Leasehold, Sim Lian Group)
abt the same as my clearwater la, and less jammed too. :)
very hard to direct access to this condo using public transport
nope all my picks were gone when i went down.. may look at subsale nearer top. :)
I wanted to get the reservoir stack too but most were taken up the same week it was launched. So I decided to settle for both the pool n pocket reservoir view instead.
I'm sure you'll get shops deal when the time comes...:D
slowly byo, i've got pool and reservoir view now so no hurry. :)

Oh my!!! Majestic view!!! That's very beautiful. I went for stack 42 bro. Guess the view is probably close to that.
It's like a picture painting. Nice!!:D
stack 42's view should be similar. welcome to the neighbourhood bro :D

Simply breathtaking!:)
Been in this neighborhood since I was ten yrs old. Stayed with my parents for 17yrs at street 12, 3mins to century sq and all the malls and MRT.
Got married n made my way to the other side at street 71, 2min to UWC. I've resided here for 10yrs now. Few years down the road it will be 1min to the reservoir. Haha.
Life as it changes... As we move with the flow...:D
**Btw which level is the view from your place bro if you don't mind. It's nice cause things can be seen nice and clear. Too high usually see 'ants' only. Your camera seems to be capturing well. Must b a good camera! Tks for the pic :D
11th floor. previously 7th floor's view was like this :D

Oh my. Being someone not too fussy I guess both hv nice superb view. Gosh, v nice. I hooted the 9th floor, not too bad lah I think. Same area as what you hv targeted too at 1130. Decent but can't beat my 5i HDB for sure.
Prefer to buy layout which I can see and feel but then again, the end product can always be tweaked n create surprises for buyers like us. But what choice to we hv. Just hv to view, grab, go and wait till the keys reach our sweaty palms.
How many units do you hv over at tropica bro? Still holding on to two? Both hv very nice views. Views to a "kill" :D
So many 5 year plans announced across the island for East Coast, Tampines and Jurong Lake etc. Looks like the Govt is out to win the hearts everywhere.
9th floor will be just nice w good balance between pool and reservoir view. :)

Elections around the corner. With more plans we can walk to Giant together and buy a bicycle to cycle straight down to East Coast Park. Heard that it will b connected to Bedok Reservoir. Not sure if it's the reservoir opposite our future place.
Btw the agent told me thet there will b a connector to the park from the back door-via the BBQ n Alfresco dining. If hv then tt will b gd else. We can take a little detour over the main road pathway. An additional of 3mins. Haha. :D

About right time to enjoy a little aft all the stress and hard work bro. Life is short. We hv to play real hard and 'feel' while we can.
Else, when we're gone. We only hv $$$ which we nvr hv the chance to use but hv been working for almost all our lives.
1130 is alright. Win some, lose some and b happy. Your Tropica is a Gem!:D
who is 1130? :beats-me-man:

Oh... I didn't know it is already in place. This means that there's a proper pathway already constructed for us to cycle from Bedok reservoir all the way to East Coast??? That's great!;)

In fact, you can ride from Bedok reservoir to East Coast Park to Changi Point to Pasir Ris Park and back to Bedok Reservoir, some 40km using these park connector.

hahaha. anyone wanna to jog at bedok reservior, welcome to join us! in fact, more and more ppl exercise nowadays. sometimes we went to reservior after 9:30 PM, still got a lot of ppl running, walking... so cut down your bedtime, spend some outdoor lah:p
We tried some new route last night - from Tropica to Beilin wall, then walk along the bedok reservior road to Tampines Ave 1 (along TP). almost 1 hour!
btw, i noticed there is a big plot between TP and bedok reservior road. if new condo, surely can be sold out as hot cake - south facing reservior, next to tampines west MRT station, and have a lot of bus stops can go almost everywhere in SG... hmmmm.... eventhough the view is not as good as waterview/tropica as east side reservior is much narrow comparing with west side, and got students noise from TP as they always practise drum or singing after scool :D

Things will only get better with time... back then it was Bayshore... now it seems so many other condos are up. In future only God knows. haha.
Well good idea. Maybe if you're game we can always meet say arnd 10pm or so... Friday or Saturday nights will b a good time for me. Anyone else??? I have never tried to jog for the last 20 years... kekekek!:cheers6:
I was looking through a video I shot using hp on the model of the project.
It appears to me the covered carpark is built on the surface level, so does it mean level 1 will be elevated such that they are equivalent to Tropica's Level 2?
And also in the brochure, a picture depicts that the BBQ pit is overlooking the reservoir. I think in reality it will be blocked by the trees.

According to agent, and i saw the spec he printed, the ground hight is 4.5M, even higher than the showflat. So technically speaking, frist floor unit equals to 2 and half floor in Tropica.
For BBQ, you still can see the water throgh the gap between trees :) You can try to see see look look at Tropica club house second floor garden, should be at same height. By the way, that's a good idea to have BBQ pits there. But stack 14 and 18 must be very irriated by the BBQ smoke and noise :(
Only thing lousy in WV is the tennis court, which is on carpark level. Will there be some pollution from car? don't understand why SM not buid it on the first floor. And there is only 1 court, Tropica has 2 courts + 1 practical court.
I like this idea of looking at the water throght he trees... kekekeke:D
I recall some agent told me even the first floor unit is higher than the usual upper floor units.
Looks like WV after completion will be higher than Tropica? I thought there is a height limit in that area due to nearby air base.
My 2nd balcony overlooks the tennis court, i guess i will have regular "pong pong" noise on weekends. Hope the noise will be contained by the carpark level design. :D

wah you guys are definitely very early birdies... so you get 10% off for being early right?? good stacks and great deals..:D
Early bird discount? Last time I asked they said no discount but price going up instead :mad:

Yup.. no discounts..and i think prices did not increase too.
Alot of bluffing from the agents. So much competition then, not much room to increase prices too.
You mean from the time it was launched, preview, stage one sale up yo now prices hv remain the same?
I was always told tt early birds drg VVIP n VIP preview will get them at better n discounted prices? No?

we were told given early bird discount lah, and agent told me the price will increase after official launch. but as Kengar said, till now the price should be same bah, given the suddent of government cooling measurement, only facing Ave 10 units left, SM dear not to increase price lah. so, in another word, no discount in fact :cool:

I've always had the perception that the quick feathered friends always gets the thick juicy worms.
Those quarry facing units also not too bad actually. Even people from the developer purchase those units drg the preview. Members of the Orange Tee included. They bought a substantial number from the project. :D

Maybe yes, but probably not always. Those really hot launches should see price increase after the preview. For WV I would think very unlikely, and given the cooling measures, it will be even more difficult to increase prices.
An interesting read which is not really relevant:
http://www.h88.com.sg/article/Marketing+101%3A+Collecting+cheques+before+project+launch/
The early bird gets first pick. Last time agent bluffed me that price already discounted. If they can sell without oven and fridge I doubt they will give discount.:2cents:
Oh tks Kengar for sharing. Interestingly saltish information indeed. Anyway WV sales whether place blank cheque or checkmate its pretty clear. Sales at the site is really good. I came across this piece of news by accident but anyway here it is...

Firm sells Chancery bungalow to boss
The executive chairman of Straits Trading Company (STC) has been given an option to buy a strata bungalow at a project being developed by one of the firm’s units. Tertius Development has set the sale price for Ms Chew Gek Khim at about $6.6 million, which includes a 2.1 per cent discount. Two other units from the project have been sold. A 5,737 sq ft detached house went for $6.33 million, or $1,104 psf, in July. In April, STC acquired Tertius Development and its project of 12 freehold bungalows in a development called Five Chancery in Chancery Road. In other property moves, a group of buyers comprising several OrangeTee directors and members of their extended family have bought units at Sim Lian Group’s latest project, the Waterview condominium. OrangTee is the marketing agent for the Waterview. The Kuik family bought six units for a total of almost $7 million, with prices ranging from $847,000 to $2.2 million.

Sim Lian big bosses also shopped a lot in WV ;)
1. Mr Kuik Ah Han #15-10 2,223,000 Executive Chairman
2. Mr Kuik Sin Pin #13-24 871,000 Group CEO
3. Mr Kuik Ah Chong #08-09 1,116,000
4. Mr Kuik Ah Chong #09-09 1,122,000
5. Mdm Kuik Lee Lee #06-25 850,000
6. Mdm Soh Li Bin #08-24 847,000
Only need to declare units bought by family members, but not when being sold off later. This seems to allow family members to choose the best units at discounted launch price and generate appearance of good sales, then the family members quietly off-load for profit after the lousier units are mostly sold. Good strategy indeed.
Showroom closed again today, looks like taking another festive season break? :sleep:
Maybe it's open bro. The other day looks close from afar but when I went nearer it was opened. Haha. Just that not many ppl arnd. Wah h going to take pics izit? Cone share share. Haha. :D

Hehe. Sneaked in to the Isle series just now. Agent told me 10% disc by FEO 5% early bird another 5% for today's purchase. Hehe. I gave a broad smile.
What cooling measure I wonder. 3 blocks released up to the 10th floor. Almost all sold. Gosh. Funny thing is the lower floors are snapped up even faster than the higher ones. Change in taste maybe. Haha but nothing seems to cool down!!!:D

The cooling effect is already priced in with the discounts, so the response reflects this.

Interesting ... Did you take down the quotes / unit numbers? If I have a chance to go down I'll check out the prices too and compare if there is any discounts. :D
Yup good to take a look around at what they have up for sale... last of the series of waterfront collections...:D
Some screen shots taken during the launch and some provided by the agent. Apologies for the low resolution. :p

Excellent views from some stacks, pool and reservoir...
Yup everyone has a fair share of the turkey but some might get the juicy part... Kekeke...:D
Good view ones all taken up already...:(
I was a rather hesitant also due to location, beside highway (noisy?) and not near to mrt or amenities. Or did I missed out something?
There is some "beauty" about sim lian design though.

Not too sure if it will be noisy but it's the link to many highways and expressways. Giant, Ikea, Tam Mall, Cen Sq, Tam 1 is just abt 5min drive. There's a 24hr supermarket abt 5-10min walk over at 800+ for those who knows the area well (a few forum WV owners are staying in this area-any comment?). Good food and there's all that we need for our daily necessities.
Used to stay with my parents for almost 20yrs over at Tampines Street 12 with the MRT and all the Malls like 5mins away before i migrated over street 71. A few bus stops away from the MRT station is alright. Never had any problems and i hv stayed in this area for 10 years now. Probably it's due to the fact that many but not all of us have the convenience of a car.:)
There is some "beauty" about sim lian design though
This is one of the many developments that I hv seen without the use of ID. Personally, I prefer the priviledged of being able to see the real walls and layout of the 'orginal to be completed' design rather than visualising the developer's idea of what we can do to the space and the decoration we can put up.
If you were to ask me, I think this is a plus and I hv never been more impressed than the only other which I have seen a few years back in 'East By The Breeze'. THey layout and everything else including space is terrific! However, I cannot meet the financial expectations it was asking for at that time. I have no choice but decided against it and maybe I'm fated to remian here in Tampines.
Many commented against their fittings and the use of homogeneous flooring. While there are many fans of marble which is being used by FEO in those projects that I came across, I thought that the flooring is neat, simple and nice plus it gives a nice calm feeling (I might be the only one feeling this way though!). Heard that FEO fittings are a nightmare after 1 year (I dont know how true this is) but I'm impressed with SL simple elegant fittings. Might not be classy and expensive but it works fine with me.
Many developments I hv seen but not many or should I say nothing that really blew me away apart from the two which I hv mentioned. So, that's where the story ends. Hehe.:D
there was one particular showroom, forgot which development where I walked in to one of the bedrooms, asked them that the bed wasn't standard size queen right? and they said, "yup". so do be careful, take one hard look at the bed size in the showroom, don't just assume the walkable space is what you're going to get.

Thanks for your advise. What I saw with my own naked eyes over at Waterview seems like a queen sized bed. I definitely did not measure it's size and taking I'm good hands that we common people set not cheated of such scams.
Both the bedrooms are able to squeeze in a queen sized bed decently. I'm not sure maybe some other friends here and those who hv purchased and hv a better info with regards to that might want yo share with us here too. :ashamed1:
Good view ones all taken up already...:(
I was a rather hesitant also due to location, beside highway (noisy?) and not near to mrt or amenities. Or did I missed out something?
There is some "beauty" about sim lian design though.
I guess there are always some pluses and minuses in every development, near MRT may mean near HDB or near MRT tracks, near expressways brings connectivity but with inevitable noise. I do not think the noise is noticable while I was at the WV showroom and at the reservoir carpark near WV.
Compare this with those Waterfront units facing PIE I think the latter should expect some noise. I used to stay at the Bedok North HDB opposite Waterfront, the noise is quite loud and all day long. Of course, the winner in among the Bedok Reservoir Condos will go to Waterfront collections being near to amenities, MRT and a water front view.

Hehe. I'm sandwiched in between the stacks being at 42 so I guess I'm like a piece of hot dog. The noise should be minimal and absorbed by the buns - quarry stacks. :D
Bro like I hv guessed... Many buyers who purchase the waterfront series, waterview included knows the place and vicinity very well. Well, I'm here now at the park taking a quiet stroll with the kids. My virgin trip. I must ssy very nice. Tempted to come here for a nice jog soon.
Must get a few of us to jog together soon. Haha. Where's the lover sis from the East? Haha. Maybe she can lead us. :D

Yes, noise level at 42 shld be quite minimal with sound barriers from the adjacent blocks...also no need to walk so far to bus-stop if you're not driving :)

Showroom closed again today, looks like taking another festive season break? :sleep:
Just came back from my CNY holiday yesterday - the showflat still closed as the main gate was closed.... don't tell me it has been closed for whole CNY week!
SL not worry about the left over units? How is the sales now??
I was told the construction will be started after CNY...

Yes confirmed, the showroom was CLOSED during the entire weekend, i drove past it. SL must be super "yaya". Anway I think Jan sales should be quite low, maybe 5 units?
The funniest thing, the Waterfront Isle sign board is pitched right outside Waterview. :scared-1:
I have visited the Waterfront Isle showroom yesterday, I quite like the MBR toilet sink, more posh looking than WV's. It generally have the same "sunk-in" design but with better looking and 'feel" materials.
Also saw in WF Isle's that they have a slim full height cupboard covering the rubbish chute and also provide some storage space, i will probably do the same for my WV unit. :D

Space is what I am concerned when I took a look at the Isle the other day. The rooms are pretty tight. Most i guess buy for investment as their main agenda.
Personally, i like the sunken in bathroom at the MBR. makes me feel very very nice. Other than that, I think I didn't make the wrong move in getting WV. Have seen the waves, key, gold and now isle.. my heart still lies with WV. If I was asked to trade, I would not think twice keeping WV.:D
** Any of you guys know if a bed of another size or an altered 'Queen' was used in the showroom (for WV that is)?! Hehe. I hope not!:tsk-tsk:

I will still go WV, simply for the south facing water view and no road noise. good enough to compete the WF collection liao;)
by the way, i haven't got the measurement floorplan from SL yet, so before i went for overseas trip, i brought my maid to showflat and DIY! :ashamed1:
good news is that the common room is almost as same size as Tropica. in my son's room, i managed to put a queen size bed, 1 study table and 2 IKEA bookcases:p so I'm sure the queen size bed in showflat is a real queen and the one in MBR is the real king :D

Oh my. I thought the one in the master is also a queen sized bed? It's a king? Ohhh. Silly me again.
The waterfront series is always being compared to one another but I think every develoment and unit has it's charm. Apart from the 4-series of Waves, Key, Gold and isle, there's also Baywater, Clearwater and Aquarius.

Anyway, these "artist impression" images sure looks good. Make people drool. For real or not I'm not sure. Hehe. :D
The developers better sell faster, or else H2 2011 economy and sentiment won't be as good.
Government is already clamping down on immigration numbers and pushing for conversion to PR. These PRs will buy HDB or EC instead of renting condos. Sooner or later people will realise it is harder to get quality tenants and interest in property launches will subsequently dip.

usually when will the developer start to 'develope'? what's the treshold? 60% sold? only a few workers around the site, the real development not started yet...

They sure hv an extended party there nightly. Heard piling aft CNY but by the looks of it, maybe they waiting for Halloween before importing the machines over to roam the area.
2013 I don't think possible. There is a chance for 2014 Dec completion but I believe it will be June 2015 or Dec itself the same year as projected.

I asked a few agents, including my agent. I said that my friends might be interested to see and buy, and asked what units are still available and any incentive.
They all say no discounts, we are selling very well, developer usually wont give discounts. hahaa.. :tsk-tsk:

Ya hor... You're possibly right too. maybe its Isle but they can't be releasing and hv sold so many units right. kekekeke.
Yup i believe only old uncles and aunties more keen on WV rather than young couples. That makes us part of the senior citizens!!!! hahahahah!
Let's wait for the man to clarify. kekekek:D
WF target young couple to invest
WV target uncles anties to enjoy life hahaha

Let's wait for the URA statistic tomorrow and see if they are really near to the 500 units as they claimed.. :D
I suspect the flow of crowds at WV yesterday comes from folks who visited the Waterfront and Manhattan showrooms and "shun bian" drop by WV.

I nearly fell off my chair reading this...haha... but on a serious note, it's true. Most buyers are senior citizens holding purple EZ link passes and HDB upgraders plus "Hardcore" Tampines lovers who knows the area pretty well....:D

I think there were no deals concluded when I was there yesterday, no serious discussion at the mostly empty tables.
I saw the video of the development at the showroom, quite nice. i guess i missed it previously, perhaps too kan cheong then.
Also saw the front gate of the model, i think it looks pretty cool. I also missed this previously.:D

i always have a question but always forget to ask - how to walk out from the 1.5 floor high ground to the cool front gate? i couldn't see any clear path in the model. even there is a staircase somewhere near the front gate, we have to be very careful for the left right car traffic???

Do you like the idea of 'open' concept of WV kitchen? in real life, who can maintain the kitchen as classic as the showflat everyday? where to hide the Jif, Mama lemon all those stuff?
any reno idea can share?
I'm thinking if SG have some kind of special glass - from dinning room, it's mirror, so can make the place looks double bigger and also can hide all those stuff. from another side it's glass, so that the light can go inside the kitchen, no need to on light during day time. something like the movie 红番区 if you can remember - when Jacky chan met anita miu...that kind of mirror glass loh

Hmm.. I am thinking of putting those security window film (http://www.jestac.com.sg/) in my MBR cos i believe Stack 9's 2nd balcony can see right in. :D
... perhaps the same concept can be applied to that glass panel between dining and kitchen? allowing the light from dining/living hall to go in. but cannot see kitchen from outside since technically the kitchen should be darker than outside.

Back to Reno - do you notice that there is no storerroom if the utility room used for maid room?
I need to create a storeroom, but where is the best place???:doh:
If i do up wardrob-kind storeroom in the second balcony next to maid toilet (see the attached), am i allowed?
I think you need to check with the reno contractor. It should be allowed. Erecting walls shld not be a problem as i know but hacking those permanent pillars will never be allowed. Yup i think your idea of a small storage room at the little corner there will be a good idea and not that distracting. hehe.
Luckily I'm a full-time housemaid myself. If not another set of problem. Every house definitely needs a storeroom. We always believe in the motto of 'No storeroom-Keep Less Rubbish' attitude but it always turns out otherwise. kekeke.:D

Yes.. I will have the same problem in the future should i also get a maid. Probably will need to rent a external storage to keep the Utility Room stuffs.. or have the maid to sleep with the kids.
But a possible suggestion is to create a partition at the small area outside maid's toilet?
I think the Wardrobe storeroom in the 2nd balcony should be fine as long as from the outside, it does not show that you are covering up the entire balcony.. from your picture it looks like the wardrobe is built behind a wall.

Being a first-time condo owner i really hv no idea on this. My understanding for fixture is covering up the open area with windows (mainly).
I did get a first hand answers from the correct people at SL and she told me that the kitchen balcony can put up blinds (which is not a permanent fixture), like what they currently have over the showroom. I dont know if i am right in this??:beats-me-man:
For myself working on the place overtime at the moment. I hv a big big headache due to my furnitures!!!!! Other than that i will probably...
1. re-paint the place using pentalite-matt.
2. remove toilet shower and replace with rain shower (portable)
3. some fixtures for toilets - put shampoo, shower gel etc (wasted no wall shelf-which is easier to maintain)
4. indoor metal 'bamboo' hangar - kitchen balcony (go green - need no dryer)
5. electical supplies maybe just simple l-box instead of false ceiling.
Can we fix a ceiling light in the balcony (hall)?? Perfect space but rainwater comes in!!! I hate this the most!!!!! :ashamed1:

Bro if thats the case, honestly the house seems useless to me. Space all collecting rainwater so that means i will just let go of it when TOP or rent it out. I'm no speculator but apart from the hall, kitchen and rooms which are kept dry, the other areas are almost good-for-nothing. Both the balconies are actually the 'plus' factors for the place and the reasons for my purchase.
Limited space in this case. I told my wife stay in our HDB and release the WV unit lah. No issue lah. Sad but without a choice.:beats-me-man:
relax bro most new condos got balconies, so you still got 3 years to check out how they keep rain out. but i understand what you mean, this is why i don't like to buy condos w balconies.

Not that complicated. my current back yard i just simply use an IKEA shower curtain to block the rain. very effective.
Definitely we can find out a way to work around. Don't forget your beautiful front balcony is for you to enjoy the water view. second balcony is a bit waste but my maid really likes it. so it could turn to a big plus to you ;)
some of my friends like balconies while i prefer to view reservoir through floor to ceiling glass.

That Telok Kurau unit is 2nd floor and there are no nearby buildings, hence the exposure to rain is higher. Most of WV's 2nd balcony are shield by the opposite unit, hopefully the exposure is reduced.

Hi bro..
How hv you been? True about what you said and that's the only setback about condos that i can forsee at the moment, the space taken up by the balconies seems unusable (empty space collecting rainwater). I'm residing in a 5I HDB at street71 and space is really something i'm very comfortable with.
Too huge a space can be a problem and not easy to upkeep. That's the main reason why we passed the 4-bedder there. With an additional toilet. Grrrr... another additional spare hour put to scrubbing the tiles!
What I'm sure about is that WV is a good place with sufficient amenities for its residents. The location in my opinion (not agreeable to others due to MRT and others personal reasons) is fantastic. With the choice units being snapped up at lightning speed and after so many developments that I hv seen really put me off, this I'm sure will be comfortable for my family at least.:sleep:
We jumped into the boat defnitely and are still happy and excited about it.:D However, space is my concern should I not be able to put my furnitures in. Apart from the hall, I can't think of another area in the house which is decent in space (this includes many condos out there-unless the psf is huge).
Im trying to see what options I hv till the place is ready in 4 long years to come. By then I will not be held back by the new cooling measures etc-hopefully. The place will have to go if my stuffs can't fit but that definitely will be last in my mind right now. Nevertheless, I will see what can be done to those 'restricted' areas, the advantage being it's 'square' layout.:)
** Your uploaded pics stressing me bro.... kekekekekek:tongue3:

This i think we hv to play the 'wait-and-see' game. If a waterproof blind can be fixed and there's minimal splash of water. I'll be more than contented.
Is it true that the lower the floor the more 'collection'? Flood gets me more worried! Btw, I haven't done an experiment on it yet! kekekek:confused:
Waterfront Waves was launched in Feb 2008, and according to the press then it was to be TOP in 2010. Probably the economic crisis and competition for construction equipment against the IRs delayed the progress. I still hope for WV to TOP in 2013!! :D
Oh yes I also saw the WV excavators busy at work at 645pm just now.:)

Oh, I didn't know WW was supposed to be ready the previous year. Wow that means they targeted the completion in two years. That's fast. The lawyer told me that developer will do a quick job. How fast I'm not sure. Hehe. Maybe 2013? Then we can be the first to BBQ there. Hehe:D
i think the yard balcony can install windows like at tropica. living room balcony just close the sliding door when it rains?
if you're a hoarder then it's gonna be hard to stuff all 5 room flat barang barang into a condo la.
i used to stay in a 1700sqft jumbo in marine parade and have learnt to streamline the stuff to be used at the tropica.
you'll probably buy sleek new furniture 3 years later, dun stress yourself until TOP lah. :D
just a footnote: around the reservoir only tropica and clearwater dun have balconies should you decide to hunt for another property. :)

We jumped into the boat defnitely and are still happy and excited about it.:D However, space is my concern should I not be able to put my furnitures in. Apart from the hall, I can't think of another area in the house which is decent in space (this includes many condos out there-unless the psf is huge).
Im trying to see what options I hv till the place is ready in 4 long years to come. By then I will not be held back by the new cooling measures etc-hopefully. The place will have to go if my stuffs can't fit but that definitely will be last in my mind right now. Nevertheless, I will see what can be done to those 'restricted' areas, the advantage being it's 'square' layout.:)

hey are you camping next to waterview? i only know the trees have been cut down coz i can see kaki bukit highway now. :p
At first there were 2 excavators, today I saw 5!!:scared-4:
Oh, I didn't know WW was supposed to be ready the previous year. Wow that means they targeted the completion in two years. That's fast. The lawyer told me that developer will do a quick job. How fast I'm not sure. Hehe. Maybe 2013? Then we can be the first to BBQ there. Hehe:D
What's that blue jewellry thing? How much is that?
some of my friends like balconies while i prefer to view reservoir through floor to ceiling glass.

i think the yard balcony can install windows like at tropica. living room balcony just close the sliding door when it rains?
if you're a hoarder then it's gonna be hard to stuff all 5 room flat barang barang into a condo la.
i used to stay in a 1700sqft jumbo in marine parade and have learnt to streamline the stuff to be used at the tropica.
you'll probably buy sleek new furniture 3 years later, dun stress yourself until TOP lah. :D
just a footnote: around the reservoir only tropica and clearwater dun have balconies should you decide to hunt for another property. :)
If I can install windows for the kitchen balcony then all problem hv been solved really. Nothing to think about. Hehe. Living rm sure hv to close the sliding door when it rains but a nice huge space gone to waste.
Nice and cosy but I can put no furniture there. I hv been an antique collector bro. I can't sell my furniture even for any price. My life is my furniture... They go my heart stops beating... Hehe. :o

Huat is Huat but if my stuffs can't migrate with me then I shall stay put. No way I will move...hehehe...
I was just thinking. Does that mean most of the condo owners keep the "barren balcony land" empty apart from probably plants and flowerpots? Since it's not waterproof even simple furnitures can't exist there right unless they are plastic or made of glass. Am I right?:beats-me-man:
wah so hardcore.. wat furniture you collect, starck and eames?

Chinese and Tibetan antique furnitures. From rugs to door panel including robes and porcelain. I took lotsa time, pain and effort to buy, keep and maintain them since I was a teenager.
Nothing till today will make me give up. Do hv good offers for some of the items but I rather keep and see them daily at home than get the $$ and spent.
Once it's gone, I can never buy the sane piece ever again. It follows me where I go lest I'm gone...:)

I'm old at heart. I will choose Eames anytime.

This i think we hv to play the 'wait-and-see' game. If a waterproof blind can be fixed and there's minimal splash of water. I'll be more than contented.
Is it true that the lower the floor the more 'collection'? Flood gets me more worried! Btw, I haven't done an experiment on it yet! kekekek:confused:
In fact we can team up to ask developer install a window or glass panel for the backyard. In Tropica, there are some addititional glass panel added in the lobby for those 2 bedders unit, after they collected key. they told me initially they have rain problem also, after complaint complaint complaint, developer installed glass panel for FREE!
So if we really face the raining problem, just compliant to SL, if half of the units make noise, that's BIG already.

but if we team up, in worst scenario no free glass panel/windows, at least we can gain the persmission of install those stuff. as I know now it's not allowed to install window. Hopefully we can have better discount, as we must install certain standard pattern in order to unify outlook. that's condo, a lot of rules here and there...
btw, even window allowed, for such big balcony, must be very costly.... must negotiate for good discount:rolleyes:

bifold casement windows, but then it'll defeat the purpose of having a balcony.

Thanks. That can be only used in backyard balcony, of course not in front balcony lah.
if it's really approved, we can block the rain effectively and yet have balcony feel - in fact, how many of us really want a balcony in the backyard? it's SL wants to make more money, then come out such idea of huge backyard balcony :simmering:
bifold casement windows, but then it'll defeat the purpose of having a balcony. Personally, they should have got 1 type that folds outwards rather than inwards, so that doesn't give one the feel of obstruction and less space...

sliding windows easy to open and close and looks nicer too but it 'collects' rainwater....and rainwater may even leaked in if waterproofing is not done properly....one of my apts got such problems:(
the above type of windows will have similar problems....best is still casement windows
as for yard....just do blinds lor....hehe yard area get wet abit ok mah?

how much can they slide? I guess there will be at least 5 to 6 pieces, the maximum they can slide is 3 into 1 right? i want open space, yet can keep it dry during raining time, so i thought that kind of floding window (if they can fold all the way to the end) is good choice?

gd choice but not so easy to 'slide' after sometime
depends on number of tracks la..
5 pieces on 5 tracks you can slide all into 1 piece width.
actually hor, dunnid open so big one la.. open 50% just nice.

Been trying hard to think of what to do to both the balconies as it will be a real waste if these 2 areas are not utilised...and of course, how to keep it dry... Saw some units in the Premiere which uses blinds that roll over the ledge, looks unsightly but guess that will be effective to keep out the rain.

The thing is we must keep the rain away. Thereafter things will be more feasible.
If water keeps pouring in then really no point right. Just my sentiments. Everytime it runs whole place wet. Mop non stop. A little silly.
