I finally visit the WF Isle showflat. I have to say that FEO really spent a lot on ID, our WV really like HDB DBSS :mad:

Did you notice that except MBR, none of the room dear to put queen size bed... they put a lot of effor on converting the baywindows into usuable stuff, very creative :cool:

SL must earned a lot from WV - save money in ID, in marble floor, in oven, in fredge, in washer for 696 units! no wonder they can start to work now!

[East Lover]

More practical to think of how to fully utilze my tiny 4th room ;)

[East Lover]

客来临，把房中的榻榻米升降台升起来，新朋旧友四个角落一落座，围炉煮茶，侃遍大江南北，聊尽家事国事天下事，又或是打打麻将消遣消遣，自是其乐融融。如果相聚甚欢，偶尔邀请朋友小住两三天，自是情理之事，此时把升降台降下，在平整的榻榻米上置一床棉被，或将墙上的多功能壁床放下来，可就是一间体面又简单的卧室了。平日里这里又是小宝贝“摸爬滚打”的天然游戏室，没有茶几横亘的空间提供给小宝贝自由嬉戏的乐园；如果在墙一边置一书架，存上满壁书香，这里还是一个简洁高雅的书房，是大人家庭办公、小孩读书写字的理想空间；而榻榻米地台刚好是一个绝佳的储物室，什么杂七杂八又弃之不舍的物件尽可纳入其中，既妥贴又方便，美观又实用。

Hehe. I took a stroll to The Manhattan on the other hand today. Very good layout. Proper and delicious, just like WV. Logic to purchase this place but the thing for me is... condo facing road. Alamak. Thais is the thing. I'm very into view when it comes to condo.

Other than that, units too close together unless facing the private properties. But then, what's there too look at. But like many, the MRT just rolling beside it and Eastpoint will be plus. So at 1200 thereabouts, it sure it selling like nasi lemak.

Btw WV contractors working very hard even on a Sunday. Haha. Your dreams all will come true in 2013. Hehehe. Merry Advanced Xmas. :D

Hi Desquire I hope u didn't literally walk there? Haha.

I was there yesterday, agree on your point that the layout is good. Just find it strange to see 2 small panel of folding windows in kitchen like those found in the older HDB, and also the bedroom flooring is laminated wood. Did you pick up the brochure? Noticed the gym is able to see the living and bedrooms of nearby units?

Back on WV, yeah I also saw those hardworking contractors at work.

[desquire]

Hi there...

Yup noticed that too but if you ask me to pick, I'd prefer their layout to any of the waterfront series. Just that waterfront has a nice view. So there goes the fairytale of life... Win some, lose some.

After all and cooling measures or what nots and ppl still piling up the showrooms, without any doubt at arnd 900psf, WV is alrightlah. View plus good squarish layout. Minus MRT and marble flooring, obens and fridge and not forgetting the wet kitchen balcony!!!:D :o :D

I'm heading to reservoir now. Trying to take a perp at the progress. Hehe. :D

wow, our WV $888 psf like a steal comparing with "Manhattan" price ;). yes WV constractors are working day and night now, sooner we will receive a 10% payment request for foundation completion :o

Yes, Merry 2013 X'mas at Waterview :spliff:

kekekeek... Manhattan projected completion in 2014. WV 2013?? hahahaha!:D

Don't be tricked by the showflat furniture lah. Actually I prefer if developers just show the REAL THING when pple collect their keys - what u see is wat u get. Just show the customers the stuff that are included and exclude all other stuff that is NOT included. So all walls, pillars, doors that comes with the real thing should be included and exclude others. All these renovation costs on the showflat is obviously bourne by the buyers anyway. The ironic part is many developers exclude the real stuff e.g. doors and pillars and include a lot of frills that is not part of the deal.

But you are 100% correct! 羊毛出在羊身上 :D

Most funniest thing is that the agent told me proudly that WF is the last batch of condo come with baywindow:p

Lies, deceit and alterations are part of the game to switch it over to a sure win strategy..:D

no prob. Do hope SL can give such detailed plan

[desquire]

no prob. Do hope SL can give such detailed plan
I find it rather weird that they do not hv the detailed floor plans to the correct measurement. Else how could they even built the showflat?

Could it be possible that there's discrepancies in the original from the one they showed us? I hope not. This is worrying. :confused:

[desquire]

SL's DBSS showflat will b opened soon I think for sale. Then up next will the EC at Tampines Avenue 8 in a few mnths time. Now Tampines Central 7 site also put up for sale.

Tampines is SL's favourite. I'm sure they'll get the winning bid. Wonder what's the price like. So many condos everywhere all of a sudden. Every little space is cleared for housing!!!:D

no longer 85% of Singaporean staying in HDB, it will be 85% of Singaporean staying in Condo hahaha:D

[desquire]

I'm actually more worried than not now. Is what we see over at the showflat the true dimensions or was it made to look bigger than expected to lure people to buy WV? Possible? I'm not sure myself.

I don't want to get a rude shock upon TOP and realise that the unit we have purchased is not what we see. Wonder still why they not willing to release the actual dimesions of the floorplan. Any ideas anyone?

Grrrrrrr.... :(

I don't think developer dear to con people by giving a wrong size of showflat, they may use ID effect to make the showflat look bigger.

at any case, the floor area you purchased is already stated in your S&P contract. if the size is not correct when you collected key, you have right to sue them :o

as you said, SL is focus in Tampinse. WV is their 'highest' standard in Tampines liao (as they specialised in HDB DBSS :p ). I believe they want to and are williing to do a good job in WV.

Write to Shirely about your worry lah. she will give you a good answer ;) Her contact: [email protected]

[desquire]

Hehhehe. I have no doubts about what you have said. kekekek. The thing is I don't even know if the showroom is put up according to the size (could they make it bigger to make it look spacious?)

After the HK and China drama and here in SG too URA is clamping down on such 'cheaters'. Many also said that they usually build the showflats bigger and all to make the eyes believe that the size is what they are getting and when TOP... they almost fainted!!!! Kekekeke.

Let's hope we don't faint together. I have already written and even spoken to her (very nice person) to her regarding the option for the wall from the kitchen to the MBR. kkekekeke. However, I did not ask for the dimensions of the floorplan. :cheers1:

[McKinnon]

when we viewed, my dad mentioned that the wardrobe is too slim to hang shirts. :beats-me-man:

Even if they give us tomorrow and the measurements are different from the showflat, then I'm really dead. Already have to make my kids squeeze into a room to make way for furnitures in one of the
rooms!!!

Wah three years. Very positive Christmas thinking. I like. :D

[mantrix]

Have fun when you get your keys.
If this is your first condo you'll be in for a small surprise.
If it's not, you should have gotten used to it.

Haha. Let's celebrate 2013 Christmas at WV and then buy another new one.

Price by then will be at 1500psf. Haha. Aft 4 yrs no more penalty. Stay one yr, sell and go back HDB wait for price to crash. By then dunno if I'm still around. Next generation please.... Hahhhahhaha...:D

[McKinnon]

sister eastlover's 4br is confirm bigger than ur hdb. and her reno made it jaw-dropping when i visited her. :)

not telling you to sell wv, tell you to cash out ur hdb for another tropica 4br, for the sake of ur furniture collection. ;)

Can sell but can't buy back HDB that's the scary part. I can pass renovation. Hehe. I prefer movable items. :D

[McKinnon]

rules will change lah.. from what i can see hdb doesn't have much meat left, save for the rental yield.

a 10% upside meat from your non hdb investment property will offset 3.5 years of rental income liao lei..

i'm actually thinking of selling my hdb for a waterfront wave unit. kekeke..

I'm alright but I'm usually available during the weekend evenings after 5pm. Let's see what the rest say about this. Might want to make it a gathering just amongst us. I'm not sure myself. With the whole troop might be a little hectic.

At least we can relax and chat in peace. Hehe. I'm alright with anything. Just my thoughts...:)

[McKinnon]

understand, in that case, probably a saturday afternoon so that you can see ur future reservoir view in its full splendor. :D

bro, can elobrate on this or not? I'm always very confused about this, as some ppl said HDB always yields the highest return, while other ppl said HDB too many rules, need to fully pay off before can have return, so it's actual expensive....

I use maths calculation to understand my return:

Assume one bought a HDB flat at $400K. now rent out at 2.5 per mth, that results 30K per year, does it mean:
30K/400K = 7.5% return?

If one cashed out at $500K, he use $400K as 40% down payment to buy a 3 bedder condo (assume $1 million for easy calculation). He needs to loan $600K for 30 years. given the interest rate at 1%, the monthly instalment will be $2K, assume he can got rental at $4k, so he has 2K left.

rental 4K - mthly instlmnt 2K = 2K.

After the condo mgmt fee, property tax etc, the actual cash is around $20K per year, does it mean:

20K/400K = 5% return?

Don't forget the low interest rate won't last forever. once it's at 3%, mth installment will be at $2.5K, 4% will be abt $2.8K.

My understanding correct or not?

[McKinnon]

the 2k instalment for the condo also goes towards paying down the loan.

so, if use ur calculation, rent 4k-$600 interest - maint - property tax.

assuming expenses is $1k, yield = 3kx12/$400k invested = 9%.
less income tax from rental and misc fees about 8%?

however if price of the condo goes up 10% after 1 year, profit = 100k- $25k stamp - agent comm.

assuming 70k nett profit in addition to 36k nett rental income after 1 year, how many months of hdb rental should you collect to reach 106k based on 2.5k hdb rent? 43months, or 3.5 years.

so it boils down to how much upside we think there is, for hdb and for private condos. no right no wrong one. :)

i see. the key different is the $2000 installment. i didn't think of that way :)

My initial thinking is use the same $400K, how much return can we gain.

If thinking of the $2000 as part of income, does that mean we should change the calculation also?

3Kx12/1000K = 3.6%

And at this moment, can condo price still go up 10% after 1 year??? :D

Frankly, as a condo owner, i 200% wish it can happen, and hope WV can sell at $1500psf in 4 years time as what bro desquire wish.;)

[McKinnon]

gross yield is a quick offhand calculation on rental yield viability.

in ur revised calculation, 1mio is the home price, not the actual amount you sunk in.

well, my sense is ocr properties around mrt will hit 1k-1.2k over time.

:D

I thought has already hit 1k - 1.2 k. Think "My Manhattan", "Lakefront Residences".

I awed in admiration at the Mathematical knowledge of you guys, with such complex calculations. There's absolutely nothing that I capture apart from simple percentage related formulas. Hehe.

With the current uprising property prices, I can only imagine how high it will peak at. The night that I had to make the milllion-dollar decision, I broke into cold sweat anh shivered till sunrise. No joke. So much thinking to do and the risks involve is pretty high for me.

At an estimated 900psf, how high could it go further, I asked myself? But three months after, I only see an increase in prices which I think is rather ridiculous and with cooling measures in place, nothing seems to sliding the downward spiral. In fact, it getting more scary.

With the other waterfront series going higher including the newly launched simmer condo, how more wrong can I get? I leave it to fate. As long as I hv a home, I shall sleep well tonight. :sleep:

[desquire]

It it ever hits 1500psf, I will forgo the view and make my way to my humble HDB for shelter, retire with a smile and live a frugal life. Enough is enough. Hehe. Till the day arrives...:D

[McKinnon]

If it hits 1.5k psf you will say wah piang how come i din buy 3 last time.
If hit drops you will say wah piang how come i bought.

Before u buy u will be in the bearish camp,
After you bought you will be in the bullish camp.

So now you're a cautious bull :D

when u earn 10k/mth, u spend 5k away.....when u earn 100k/mth, u spend 50k away:p

kekeke... if i hit 1.5m cash, i spent 1k a month, shake my whole body at home and rot till i bid goodbye to mother Earth...:D

[desquire]

If it hits 1.5k psf you will say wah piang how come i din buy 3 last time.
If hit drops you will say wah piang how come i bought.

Before u buy u will be in the bearish camp,
After you bought you will be in the bullish camp.

So now you're a cautious bull :D

A lost bull roaming the reservoir instead of being in the proper wild... with no clues what will come next... quite true... kekekekeke...:D

[desquire]

Almost forgot. You snapped the images from your unit sis? Nice, sharp and extremely clear. Can see the dust particles too. Hehe. :)

Nice! Which floor were these pictures taken? Are you able to take a shot of the reservoir from the same position?

[desquire]

Sis thank you so much for the lovely effort. But like same same leh. Not moving. Maybe tomorrow I go help lah, faster a bit. Hehe.

Bro Kengar dun do this please. Mc Kinnon already giving me sleepless nights. End up I built a tent on top of one of the trees later to have a natural water view. Very stressful. Haha. Leave it to completion. We move in together and view the water together k. Hehe. :D

Paiseh leh, but really cannot resist the urge to see more... almost can imagine a salted egg sunset at the horizon among the green green trees and still serene quarry water.

I am ready to volunteer my Sony Nex5 to take a panaroma 3D shot. :D

[desquire]

Bro Kengar, I was just pulling your legs. Haha. We do have multi-talented professionals in here. Latest being photographers. Cool.

I was wondering if there's something more going on across the huge drain. Seems like a lot of work going on. Piping for WV or is it a bridge across the reservoir? Maybe works for the park in the hope of a better-looking one like the ones they have over at 'sing-song' or the park cross Clearwater? Just my thoughts.

How do people get across the showflat from the carpark? No clear paths. Hehe. Swim across drain?:D

Yeah I am also wondering what works are they working on, it stretches all the way to Clearwater. Probably a pipe to link the quarry water to some treatment plant?

i think the showroom visitors have to walk all the way out to the side of the main road where there is a little walk path.

From reservior car park, 2 mins walk, visitor can go to the showflat.

BTW if you go reservior jogging, you can come to the carpark, to have some physical feel of WV. It looks very pretty from carpark.

Also it seems can have some 'water view' from showflat, as i can see the showflat from reservior side, that means first floor of WV can have some view also...:cool:

[desquire]

Hmmm sis you're very updated. :) I was thinking it would be nice if there's a bridge complimentary of SL. Hahahaha!!! Wild thoughts! But again its not that far across walking from the side road.

A sewerage project made to look promising to WV ppl. kekekekek.:D

Yup, when i 'jog' over these weekends, usually night-time can see how nice Tropica is also. With WV coming up, the place will be sweetly lighted up and buzzing with the waterfront series all around. The 4-in-1 series at Bedok Reservoir will look fantastic I think!:eek:

Must save the best when TOP for the view. Else the feel will die after some time. kekkekek!:D

haha, agree, the 4-in-1 series will be a very good lighting background to WV, on top of the beautiful lighting surrounding the reservior, especially the floating platform - looks very nice at night time with lighting.

how abt i hold the housewarming at PM, so we can see the peaceful afternoon view, beautiful sunset and charming night view? :D

But how for the sunset, since my unit won't have much afternoon sun, so where to see the sunset as bro Ganger said??? :confused:

[desquire]

You people just love stressing others!!!!:scared-4: Hahahah!!! Let's all go for the 'jog' with pizzas in our hands :p round and round the reservoir from sunrise to sunset!:D No view will be missed!;)

Home supply to spike in next few years

Prices and rents may drop in 2013 and 2014 as a result: Analysts

By Esther Teo, Property Reporter


A HEFTY supply of new homes coming on to the market over the next few years could push prices and rents down, warn analysts.
The risky years look to be 2013 and 2014 when a record number of homes are expected to be completed, many on the plots of state land that have been sold in recent months.

A lot of people bought new properties which will TOP in the next few years for self-stay. But what will happen to the old properties they will be leaving behind? Many people also bought new properties for investment to rent out in the next few years. These two supplies will make things very interesting.

This is the analytical mind of a great thinker with much experience. You must have been in 'this line' for some time bro. That's the talk of the town. Like many were talking about the Waterfront Series being overcrowded with 4 new-ones and 3 already in exist. Those looking to rent their place might not be getting a good return after all.

Old developments are hard to sell despite them being 'hot' during those days. Many prefer modern facilities and 'new' instead of 'old' ones. So many things to consider and think about. I can drop more hair each day. haha.

Honestly, I'm just a 'rookie' in these property business. Buy for home stay and be happy whatever the outcome is. Wanna sell also cannot, wanna make $ and buy new one also stuck. So sit down, relax, keep quiet and watch others play the game.... kekeke..:D

[East Lover]

I study the floor plan again - if it's correctly proportion, the wardrob has a standard deepth - 60cm!

I guess SL properly 'slim' the wardrob in showflat, to make the room looks spacious, to show you you can easily put a standard Queen size in any room!

hehehe, no wonder they dear not to share the detailed floor plan with us

Desquire, don't worry too much. I feel in most of the recent launches I seen so far, the common bedrooms are more or less about the same small size given that much space are given to the balcony and yard. Even new ECs, BTOs are build in the same way. Space contraints are fact of life we have to accept. Cheer up, let's look for a good ID to make intelligent use of the limited space. :)

Hi East Lover, is our Stack 9/13 the same facing as the showflat? if yes, then really will hit by west sun.. but i remember the agent say no west sun back then.

tiny bit only bro, the sun changes position throughout the year, as long as dun have direct west facing it's fine.

your block hopefully can be blocked by block 87, 89 :)
Yes, stack 09 & 13 same facing, and no "protection" by other block at all, so we will hit a bit afternoon sun.

Hi East Lover, is our Stack 9/13 the same facing as the showflat? if yes, then really will hit by west sun.. but i remember the agent say no west sun back then.
Yes same facing. my MBR will hit a bit, half window i guess? luckily no big window like stack 14.

room 2 & 3 is pretty safe, balcony can cover by the wall, 4th room hopefuly can cover by the aircon ledge. not that bad.

Good thing is that we can afternoon sun to dry the laundry...:)

yes same facing, slightly south-west facing which is the best facing in current 八运 :)

but maybe 16 floor tall of block 87/89 can somehow block the west sun for you?

For stack 09, we don't have such "luxury" :D... maybe stack 14 can block some westsun for bro Kengar
remember the famouse siteplan?

if replace the sliding door to folding type, will it look classic? maybe not nice in living hall leh... i guess there will be 3 - 4 pieces, 2 slide to TV side, 2 slide to sofa will be safe right?

i seen some folding type quite nice and modern....but not so easy to open and close wor....later on wear n tear liao...surely become more difficult....:eek:

4 to 6 pieces open to both sides still a safer bet:D

[mr_chongfs]

yes indeed, I have seen some houses with folding doors that are nicely done. It frees up the living room space.

Morever, I don't think we'll open/close the door often. will leave it open even when I am out of the house.

Not sure whether the rain will splash in, but if it does, I am thinking of installing blinds to minimise that. will need to do so for the 2nd balcony too.

still exploring the options.

Morever, I don't think we'll open/close the door often. will leave it open even when I am out of the house.

Not sure whether the rain will splash in, but if it does, I am thinking of installing blinds to minimise that. will need to do so for the 2nd balcony too.

still exploring the options.

den might as well jus remove the sliding doors and leave it vcant....install nice blinds will do? hehe:D

welcome welcome, my neighbour, we are in same block of 77 :)

you must be very very fast, so can manage to grabe stock 12:)

By the way, i haven't figured out how to go to block 77. you look at the sitempap and model in showflat, there is no path to reach 77 life lobby, the nearest one is blk 79.

did you ask agent? :confused: i forgot to ask!

Hahah. I was told nothing can be fixed in the main balcony right? Blinds also cannot isn't it?:D

[desquire]

i tink blinds can leh....depends how 'NIAO' the by laws lor
I was told that there shld b no fixtures in the balcony. Blinds also usually not approved by management.

I rarely spot anyone having them in their balconies as well. Maybe they choose not to. I'm not sure myself. Having them would solve a major part of my predicament. Hehe. :D

[mr_chongfs]

is it true that nothing can be fix in the balcony ? I have seen my friends doing it in his condo, not to mention names here ....

East lover, have not look at that. I guess, we'll cross the bridge when we get there ...

We got hit by expressway noise. :ashamed1:


i see. nvr mind, as long we work they fly, we go home they rest should be fine lah.

btw does it mean your WFW also got hit by the airbase noise??

Bank will settle with SL all that stressful amount.:eek: Hehe. Btw, I brought a friend over just now. Sis you're right. There's a black and white document stating that the place might TOP December 2013. Thats why they working at lightning speed. Very very fast.

New worker's quarters also up. They will get reservoir view for their stay there as well. So let's keep our hopes alive.

Yesterday went over look look see see H2O. Wah very expensive. No joke property prices these days. My chapter already closed, wait for time for WV ready. Hehe.

just currious - where did the black and white document saying TOP Dec 13?

So our WV still consider good buy???:)

My 4th room is so tiny, i'm thinking of not asking wardrob from SL. got $$$ refund or not?:p

[desquire]

It's stated in the agent file which contains documents on details of WV. Hehe.

Sis your 4-bedder will be alright. I got the 3-bedder instead cause I find the additional toilet unnecessary (adds up to doing more houesework). From a 1323sqm to 1130sqm is no joke. This leads to my headache. Well I guess same goes to your huge Tropica unit.

Initially, I also wanted to forgo the built in wardrobe but again we still need it for our clothes isn't it? So, it's not a good solution if you ask me. It's a matter of acceptance and adaptation now.

The H2O I visited over the weekend increases my stress level. The size is exactly the same at 1130sqm. However, both rooms doesn't seem to fit a decent queen sized bed and it looks so very tiny. We even have the kitchen balcony when they have none. I wonder if...:scared-1:

my 4th room no attached toilet, that make me happy as my current one is really really under unitlization.

but it's still small comparing with my current layout. don't know how to convert to a guest room cum study room if don't give up the wardrob...

after my careful calculation (again :))), if i don't give up wardrob, my tatami platform only end up like a queen size bed. so ugly!:(

[desquire]

I'm having a terrible migrain thinking of those problems as well. Many if us indeed are. Especially the huge kitchen and main balcony which seems to be more like a white elephant if we can't fix blinds etc.

Endless of thoughts. That's a good choice sis. The attached toilet is totally unnecessary. Hehe. Meanwhile happy cracking. I'm in it myself for weeks thinking of a peaceful solution.

Yeah WFI is appearing everywhere , TV, Radio, newspapers and newspapers inserts and one time outside WV. Impression counts in everything, good job for them. WV probably can sell more after all the WF series are sold out. If not it will have to fight the future new launch near Bedok Reservoir Sheng Siong.

Bear in mind that this stack facing ave 1, heave traffic as well, no pool view, no lake view, no quarry view, only got green view but soon will become EC construction site, so no much selling point lah. SL should find a way to market mah.

URA:
http://www.ura.gov.sg/pr/text/2011/pr11-29.html

URA has plans to clamp down on developers who use misleading showflats to lure flat buyers.


new rules would ensure developers display showflats with all their structural walls and columns and with accurate ceiling height.

Other likely regulations include clearly marking out the divide between the balcony and living rooms, and using walls that have the same thickness as in the actual apartment.

Bomb shelters, when required, are also reportedly required to be present in the showflats.

Nothing to be alarmed. Maybe its just my wild thoughts or sheer coincidence....

1. Project launched on November 18 2010.
2. Site area 341, 000 sqft (approx)
3. Big ''8" swimming pool.
4. Sim Lian was one of the 8 bidders for the site and emerged as the winner.
5. Showflat closed on 24/12/2010 to 07/01/2011.
6. Showflat reopens again on 08/01/2011.
7. Projected to be sold at average of $838psf.
8. Last month average psf happens to be $888.
9. This month sold 17 units. 1+7=8
10. This place was built according to someone on the 8th sector (fengshui).

Seems endless to me... Was it supposed to be this way or SL market this place in such a way??? I'm not sure myself... ehehe. For those who love 8, maybe this is the right place for you... :D

Nope, you are right on that. The ceiling height will be 2.8m high. That is what it will be when the place is up. I don't even know that it was higher in the showroom. This is sad isn't it?

You mentioned about the new showflat being the same it was supposed to be upon completion as required b URA. Guess we here are a little too early for it. Hence, get ready for a blast when we get our keys! Hocus Pocus!:(

Sis East Lover , Bro Kengar... this time i think you guys 'catch' me sorta better. That was the reason why I have been hoping and praying that the showroom 'floor-plan' is accurate.

If its the way we see it and according to the same measurements, my furnitures will be able to 'travel' safely over to WV with one of the bedrooms being sacficed as there seemmed to be no other alternative. Else, the stress will come...

That's why i am in a dilemma. Im very worried if what we see is all just plain 'imaginary'!:scared-4:

Hmm I can't find the clause on ceiling height in the brochure. But my wife did specifically asked that time and was told it will be at least 3m in height, or about 2.8m after installing the false ceiling (just like the showroom)... cross our fingers :D

The new EC opposite Tropica/WV launching soon? Looks like alot of acitivities going on. Not surprise it will be sold out before WV does.. haha.

[desquire]

Hehe. I'm a person who can't handle docents and papers too well. Too tedious for me to search and fathom what those papers are all about. My wife was the one who came across it on the very last page of the booklet. Written in small print at about 2.8m in height. After or before false ceiling I not too sure.

These people just can't seem to make things easier fir everyone. Ten people will tell us ten versions of the same project. Grrrr:mad:

[desquire]

Reached home and flipped though the pages of the WV Booklet page after page. Recalled that it was on the last 'specifications' page but it was not meant to be.

Could have come across it somewhere else or probably i have been hearing too much of 2.8m and visiting too mnay showflats... apologies... kekekekek... i guess its somewhat 2.8m.

I have tried to visit a few property advert over the web and it's pointing to a 2.8-3m height with a possible completion in december 2013 should the workers have the extra enerygy to push themselves and work overnight like the IR maybe? kekekekeke

At the same time, saw another 21/12/2012 date indicating a possibility of the end of the world. There goes my WV. hahahahah! ** There's no need of a floorplan after all. Haha.:sleep:

[desquire]

Was just thinking if it's possible to make a request to have sliding doors for the built-in-wardrobes in the rooms instead of traditional 'pull-open' ones. This could help save much space when it comes to arrangement of furnitures.

Also, does anyone knows if the kitchen cabinets/wardrobes will be fixed with anti-slam (sound-proof) gadgets to make them longer lasting? Is it a standard feature in all modern and new developments?:D

Was just thinking if it's possible to make a request to have sliding doors for the built-in-wardrobes in the rooms instead of traditional 'pull-open' ones. This could help save much space when it comes to arrangement of furnitures.

Hi there Sis...

Thank you very much for being so kind to us in updating the progress of the development. Looks like SL is very well organised in its work. The beds are erected in all three workers' quarters and work has been progressing well since. I run at Bedok Reservoir at least thrice a week after 10pm these days so I can see the difference each time I'm there. Hehe. They must be keen in completing this project asap.

Time time time... Planning to write to dearest Shirley by this week regarding the hinges for the cabinets as well as the floorplan and cost should we use sliding instead of the traditional doors. Hehe.:D

[desquire]

Bro Kengar...

Let's hope that the first batch of keys will be from those stacks. I guess it's more like Block 77 and 93? I don't know myself. Don't know whether those bricks really meant for the foundation of the stacks or something else. Kekeke.

Sis eastlover should know right. She's the ambassador de WV. Specially handpicked by SL. Hehe.:D

hahaha, really hope you are the big boss of SL! are you the one bought penthouse in my block 77? :D remember to show us the breathtaking view when you collect key in 2013 OK? :p

[desquire]

If I am the Big Boss I won't be your kind neighbour already. Haha. Hopefully after TOP 'Huat' BIG '8' time.. then I can retire early and enjoy the beautiful view with my cup of hot choclate every morning..

Met my friend who bought at around $7XXpsf Clover By The Park by SL too. He letting go of his unit now and buying over landed property. Phew! He mentioned that more than half of the owners already put the place up for SALE!!! Wahhhh...:scared-4:

Looks like beri hard for me to catch the quarry view, Stack 14 is on my right and angle is not optimised. Would be great if WV has the same rooftop garden like WF.

I will be happy if I get a decent reservoir view.. cross fingers.. hope the trees do not grow taller.

By the way it looks like the upcoming EC launch is moving fast.. are they constructing the showroom and the EC itself at the same time? :cool:

hopefully we can have some mini market soon since we have big Tropica+WV+EC, sufficient to setup some shops :spliff2:

by the way, what's the selling point of this EC? quarry view? or possible LRT station to Tampines center???:D

[McKinnon]

Waterview and Tropica view! :D

In the future after we moved into WV, my wife and I will definitely miss the super convenience of the Prime Supermarket, 24hr Shop & Save, coffeeshops, clinics, AXS machines etc etc from our current home. \

I foresee i will join the Tampines Cycling Gang to carry out marketing.

Cannot seem to think of any potential mini market location around the WV, Tropica, EC area, unless URA end Caltex lease and replace it with multi-storey market/coffeeshop? :D :D :D

[desquire]

Waterview and Tropica view! :D
Haha. Some of the stacks will get the quarry view like WV. I wonder how much it will be priced at. 600psf maybe?:D
