View Full Version : Oasis Garden at Upper Paya Lebar
Thanks cadencrh for posting the pics update. We get to see how's the progress of the construction work. Coming to the end of June and the looking at the status of construction work, am doubtful it can be TOP before Sept as claimed by the marketing agent. vbmenu_register("postmenu_57566", true);
I called the sales hotline to test water.. They now say TOP Q4.. Talk is really cheap lor..
hi,
I'm new here, may I know what's the price now for Oasis? As I'm looking for somewhere near or around serangoon/yio chu kang.

Maybe can check URA website ... most pp do that although data wldn't be reflective of the most current prices ... else check out propertyguru for the latest trends??
Anyway, serangoon/YCK should have alot more choices bah (OG near YCK meh?) .... :2cents:
Tried Quartz
My wife dun like Quartz as she claims that we will still in Sengkang, is just from flat to condo. Must well dun change.

Cos my in-law is just opp. Yio Chu Kang stadium, so from OG to there not too far also, just few traffic lights. So fetching kid will be easier.

think oasis gdn has a convenient location and its quite near to everywhere especially there are so many expressways nearby.
anyway think they are left with high floor units and definitely above $700psf for a 3 bedroom. unless u are getting the penthouse then you can expect a lower psf rate.
status of construction as at today :sleep:
11 units left as of 30 Jun 09..
fi, met one of the agents at another showroom, he told me left 5 units... ......

Hmm ... looks like there are pp who do have their eyes opened to see the diff between this one vs. those LH projects with so much hype :rolleyes:
Understand that the last 3 bedroom unit is going for $799psf nett.. :scared-4:

Actual quote by agent was more than 800psf, 799psf is can try with cheque only :D so mayb dev will still wanna sell the last 3-bedder with a bang of above 800psf... :spliff2: :scared-4:
Went down over the weekend and found out from the workers that they are adding 2 new gates. one near units 01 & 02 lift lobby and the other at the rear(pointing towards the wading pool). did not managed to confirm location of the rear gate tho. expected top is end aug.:D can someone else confirm this?

Quite impossible to TOP by end Aug, probably end of Oct, maybe. Saw the 2 side gates but if can cut through the Gurkahs estate then walk to Bartley mrt will be nearer then to Tai Seng MRT station. Anyone got any info on the expected TOP?
According to agent in sales office, it's Sep 09.. I don't think that is possible...

Agreed, I don't think that is possible too. I guess that the agents are also guessing only. Looking at the current construction now, prob end of Oct could be possible.

$900 psf? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Those are probably the lower floors.... Perhaps they can now sub-sale at 800psf?? :confused: :confused:

I think there are still some authority inspection prior to TOP.. And for the inspection to be executed, the property must be fully completed.. Oct 09 also abit shaky...
Spoke to the guard today and he said Nov :rolleyes:. Cleaning will take some time after everything completed plus inspection etc. See if can get valuer to check on OG now. :)

Not sure the guard is accurate.. Scully the developer give him 10 year series answer.. Developer under pressure becos the TOP date shift and shift and shift.. :)

eh wat is the meaning of 1- yr series ans? Is it a practice in the industry? Do developers usually give std ans to say TOP date is "earlier" or should the ans be "later"?
Sales pitch by developer and marketing agent was TOP in Jun 09 back in Dec 08 when the sales are slow..
As it draws near Jun 09.. The TOP date shifted back accordingly...
They basically abused the words "TOP Soon"...
To push and attract sales, they have to "say" earlier TOP date.. Some home owners are desperately looking for places to settle down.. When they can't meet the marketed TOP date, they'll blame it on "unforeseen" circumstances that are caused by their main or sub contractors... Standard 10 year series answers as long as they don't delay beyond the S&P TOP date.. Talk is cheap I suppose.. :mad:
Btw, official TOP date of O.Gdn is in 2012..
Oh ... so tt's the 10-yr series ans .. now I get the pix ...

Oasis Garden is located in a quiet serene setting and it is just minutes away from Tai Seng MRT and Bartley MRT station.
This brand new penthouse unit is on the 18th floor and has magnificent unblock view.
The Singapore Flyer can be seen as well.
Referring to FLOORPLAN,
This penthouse unit is special because the MASTER BEDROOM is situated away from the 3 other bedrooms to give more privacy. The bedroom also comes with a personal balcony.
Be sure to enjoy life as the master's bathroom comes with a bathtub, 2 sinks and has an private exit that leads to the OUTDOOR SHOWER and the open terrace. This unit is also very practical because it has little un-liveable space.
Other key features -
- Marble flooring for dining / living room / master's toilet.
- Built in wardrobe and a walk-in wardrobe beside the master's room
- Full condo facilities
- Classy Standalone Wet Kitchen
- 4 Bedrooms
- Exclusive, only 134 units
- 144 parking lots
- FREEHOLD and minutes from 2 MRT station!
- TOP 2009 end - Estimated.
Please refer to the FloorPlan attached!
Price is neg.Hurry!
Call or sms 9424-4441 for more details.
a bit misleading rite? the unit faces north so the only time you can see Singapore Flyer is in bdrm 4's balcony or the aircon ledge. otherwise, the unit prob has johor views.
Drive past last sunday.....
Can see the lower floor aircon unit is up.. can see the room door... think also see the wardrobe..
For upper floor.. some of the balcony panel not up yet..
Can see they are doing up the main entrance & floyer and 2 side door.
Think there is double fencing.... like a castle..
1 is the normal outer fencing, then a gap that can see the basement.. then the inner fencing... and at the side door there is bridge over that gap for people to walk over...
Emmm... think at least another 3 months before TOP... :(
Prob end of next month TOP. Inside everything done. Outside beautifying which is very fast. Cleaning then TOP!
oh... really... inside all the units all done... then good good... :)
end of next month is very fast...
wonder who will be the first one to move in ...

Err ... thot exterior is not s/thg predictable? As in, subject to weather conditions rt? How to be sure .......
Cannot be sure but realistic. Pray for no rain. Anyway, now is 7th month so not good to move in. If end of Sep TOP, it will be great:)
Anyone saw the roof on the gym and suna rooms? Think they are using those metal roof which look like those very old type or temp shop/coffeeshop roof. I think it spoiled the entire look of the OG, hope that the developer is adding on something on top of the metal roof.
emmm... will take a look over the weekend...
but oh... raining raining raining these 2 days....
Seem like a lot of owners here eagerly waiting and tracking the progress...
can we request to change the stove not to face the kitchen door ?
write in to who and where ? anyone know...

As per an earlier post.. Think the interior is all done up.. Dun think can ask developer to change now.. Maybe u can get your reno contractor to do it?
i think i made a mistake... the stove is not facing the kitchen door.. but the toilet door...
ya hor.. u mentioned before...
you managed to go inside to view the interior?
anyone knows what are the latest units avail and the price?
Bro nadoey, trying to find opportunity to sneak in to take a peek.. ;)
Bro kgchong, think got only 1x 3 bedder left.. #14-02.. Few weeks ago went with an interested friend to check.. $800psf.. But think may be able to get at 790psf.. The other remaining units are PHs...
Visited OG last evening and was taken aback to see the swimming pool brimming with water.
Spoke to several of the workers around the premises individually and was informed that OG was supposed to receieve its TOP on 31 Aug 09, but was delayed due to the rain etc.
So, the new TOP date is scheduled in 1 week's time!
Let's look forward to celebrating Xmas in OG this year!
Got developers TOP during the lunar seventh one meh?? This is new ..... .....
Well, it used to be that people would shy away from buying properties during the Ghost Festival, but that did not stop Trevista from being sold out in one day recently.
Nonetheless, am simply sharing what I found out about OG's scheduled TOP date. As long as we can move into OG by this year, it'll be great!
Let's hope for the best and wait for our lawyer's call to inform us to collect our keys!

Hi. Called the developer's office yesterday and she said TOP in Oct. I guess she is giving a safe gauge. But good to hear that it is nearly complete. We dropped by 2-3 weeks back and saw that they have started growing "greeneries" on the fence.
Thank you for the updates. Another family waiting to move in! ;)
Some photos taken today....

I'll probably be able to controbute weekly photo updates so owners here can have a better gauge on key collection date.... :rolleyes:

U mean exterior landscaping or interior of the units.. Landscaping should be able to see from the perimeter fence as they have not fully planted stuff around it..

Getting the keys is one thing....
Still need to do some minor works before moving in.. lights, bay window, window grill.. emmm and what else ah??
1. Lights and light boxes
2. Bay windows
3. Feature wall TV console
4. Dining feature wall
5. Study table
6. Curtains
7. Blinds
.....
Another big sum of money...
..... new sofa, dining table, beds to match the new home... :doh:

Actually, it's rather easy to sneak in and take a look. So far, I've visited OG in the evenings at about 7plus and always slip through the side gate just opposite from Bartley Secondary School. Managed to walk into a 2 bedroom ground floor unit and as far as I can see in the dim light, it looks like the showflat minus the electric appliances. You may want to try your luck these few days. Hopefully, the gate is still open.
In terms of progress, as at yesterday, the block just beside the above mentioned side gate still needs to be painted and the grounds around the swimming pool need to be seeded with grass. However, it seems that the workers have started cleaning up the premises. The floors in the lobby were rather wet and seemed to have received a good hosing.
Hmm.. That's not a bad idea.. May try it this coming weekend.. Hopefully I don't get caught.. :tsk-tsk:
Got some info that there was a big group of people at the site this morning pointing here and there.. Hope it is the TOP inspection.. ;)
Anybody can confirm? :o
Popped by OG a while ago and was surprised that it was deserted. It's usually teaming with workers when I visit at 7plus in the evening, but there was only one solitary worker stationed at the guard house.
So, here's the latest from that worker.
OG has passed its inspection today and will TOP this week.
Units will apparently be released in batches of 5 starting from next week.
Also took a nice stroll right into OG by the main entrance, all the way to the swimming pool and back. The kids' playground is not done up yet and of course, there's no equipment in the gym. Grass still has to be seeded in certain areas, but that's it. What you or should I say, I see, is what I'll and you'll get.
I hope that all owners will get their keys soon and will enjoy staying in OG.
All the best.

For privacy blinds better, frost can show outline.
Cost wise frost cheaper.

Practically, I don't think we can get the keys starting next week, the facade painting and removing of window protection are still outstanding on the front facing. Give them another 2 weeks to do the final housekeeping probably?
If I remember correctly, there is no stack 04 for Blk 53..

This thread is picking up fast and furious!! For those who pass by the site.. Pse provide updates and pictures if possible.. I'll be doing likewise!! ;)
If I remember correctly, there is no stack 04 for Blk 53..
Only Blk 53 - stack 05, 06
Yes, there are no 04 units...
So it is 3-2-3 units based on the lift lobbies..
ideally unless they paint today & tomo.. then remove the window protection over next 3 days... then maybe next mon still possible.. :)
How about those electric appliance (fridge, wine carbinet, etc) to be installed in the unit? All done ? :beats-me-man:
Practically, I don't think we can get the keys starting next week, the facade painting and removing of window protection are still outstanding on the front facing. Give them another 2 weeks to do the final housekeeping probably?
Hmm.. I thought Banger was inside one of the units a few days back? Maybe he can advise on whether the appliances are already inside and fixed...
Think he mentioned " minus the electric appliances. "... then when will they install ?? after getting the keys ??

Oh yes.. just saw his post.. Looks like have to call developer then..
Mdm K?? :D :D :D
hee hee ... just back from OG.... cant wait for weekend to view ...
Cannot believe myself to hang around there for 45 mins...
Start walking from the school gate that side gate to the main gate, then walk back to that side gate and back to the main gate again... :D
Talk to the indian guard there.... he said take key in Jan 2010, then he contradict himself by saying all construction complete, very urgent to finish it and only left the planting. :doh:
Yah... the window protection sheet still there..
Called the developer this morning. Keys will be released according to blocks, firstly to block 51 then 53 and so on. Block 53 expected to be released by mid Oct 09.
Based on Mdm k's check with developers, the key collection should start soon.. Hmmm...
Before I left OG at 7.45pm, saw a couple park their car in front of the main gate, both alight, the lady stand at the gate and the man with a cigarette just walk straight into OG to see see the area like inspector.... wonder who are they.. :beats-me-man:
I thou they are from this forum...
Then I ask the lady if they are OG owner and she say no... :tongue3:
Manage to snap 3 evening photo of OG using my N97...
As per my earlier post, I did not see any electrical appliances when I was in a unit. Most likely, they'll only be installed according to the units which are released to their owners.
Actually, you too can walk straight into OG. Be nice and friendly to the security guard and ask if you can just take a quick look inside. I've been visiting OG so often that he recognises me. For you, perhaps you can bribe him with a drink or snacks! After all, he must feel dull holed up night and day in the guard house!
Not too sure about whether the release of units will be on a weekly or daily basis though. If I can, I'll pop by OG this week and 'pump' the workers and guard for more details.
Anyway, if any one of you get your keys, please be a kind soul and update us all here.
Thanks in advance.

Looks neater than the past Sunday definitely.. The protection sheets for the windows facing the showroom building are all peeled off?

Actually did went in a bit into OG, from the side gate nearer to the school when the workers taking their rest/dinner but that's abt 7.40pm... dark dark and did not see much... from the ground unit of stack 02, can see the swimming pool filled water as they turn on the pool side light. Can also see the shower head in the toilet of stack 01 ground unit...

Am not sure if the lifts are working. Was carrying my baby and did not want to risk being trapped inside!
Just called the developer and they said that 'Inspection' is still going on...not completed yet, normally take up a few weeks. That is probably why sometimes you see people pointing here and there as these people will be there everyday to inspect for a few weeks before OG can get TOP.
Developer are looking at around end of Oct to get TOP...

Just visited the site at about 6pm and took some pictures...
Realized that the new gate exiting from the lift lobby of Blk 51 does not have place to mount the access card reader.. Perhaps this is an emergency gate rather than a normal gate for residents?? :beats-me-man:
Some photo updates of the back of the property...
Entrance to the property...
Steam room and pool shower rooms...
Thanks jtpy for the latest updates.. Looks like I'll be there tomorrow to view it "live"...:)

Think getting a dryer may be a better option.. The yard area is not exactly big...
Dryer consume more electric power... :(

There a gas option from Citigas.. Suppose to consume less power and cost less in terms of running costs..
The main problem is that the yard is integrated with the kitchen and if your family cooks, then there will be a problem with the drying clothes... The aircon latch area is not exactly big and acessible as well..
yeh....we can start to form og mc :D
So early?? That spells big trouble for the Managing Agent who will be appointed by Dev to manage the estate.. :D :D
Anyway, its good to know that there are so many active owners. It really means our home will be well taken care of! :cheers1:
I just hope that regardless of whether the developer allows us to install a retractable dryer above the air con ledge, none of our OG residents dry their clothes or worse, underwear by hanging them over the window or balcony ledges!
That, above all, will totally spoil the look of OG!
Perhaps you may want to consider getting a dryer. I've been using a dryer for many years and the plus points about it are that I save time hanging the clothes on the poles, I don't have to monitor the weather and I also save on ironing!
woo.... what brand of the dryer you use? can consider ...

The blocks are stated on the brochure?? Cannot remember, probably will check later.
Yup, you are right - as per the brochure... been flipping thru it sooooo many times and dreaming too hehehe :sleep:

Is the "washer" and "dryer" better or a "washer dryer" ?
Of cos the diff is 2 boxes vs 1 box.. save space.
Price of 1 box should be cheaper that 2 boxes... save money, rite?
any others ?
I never use a dryer before...
only the spin function in the washer.. come out still wet.

up to individual...
some dont like the combined function becos if 1 is spoilt, then the other also cannot use...
in addition, having a separate dryer means you can continue to wash the second load while the first load is drying... saves time
as for price, 2 in 1 is not necessarily cheaper.. depends on brand..
i have been using the ariston washer and dryer (separate) for nearly 6 years already... no problems so far...
Thanks for sharing...
Was your electricity bill high ?
Looks like ariston is the common word...

it is definitely higher...
my electricity bills range from 100 - 150 per month..
but again i use air-con and cooker often so it is really up to individual household.
get the salesman to estimate the electricity cost (1hr of usage x 2 times a week x power consumption etc)..
for us, the convenience of not having to put wet clothes on poles and able to dry my clothes any time of the day outweighs the cost of using it

just visited mayer@greatworld city with hubby to check out the prices.....2-in-1 ariston washer dryer costs $1399. 2-in-1 indesit washer dryer(smaller capacity ie 6 kg washing load & 5 kg drying load) costs $999. as a comparion, a korean brand washer dryer costs jus slightly below $1k (i think:confused: ).....
still thinking if to get 2 boxes or 1 box......maybe leave it to hubby to decide haha.... if no gd... its his decision.....
jtpy mentioned that Mayer is offering an Indesit 7kg washer + 6kg dryer package at $1099.. that's mean for another $100 more... you get another box & higher capacity.. more worth it ?? :D
you no ask them if buy more got any discount...:2cents:

For the washer+dryer combi into 1 box type, you must take note of the capacity. Some have 8kg washing and 4kg drying capacity only.. This would mean if you are washing 8kg of clothes, you need to take out 4kg first before you can start drying.. So you have to be careful...
For e.g.
The Indesit Washer+Dryer Model WIDXL 86 has 6kg washing and 5kg drying capacities..
And the Ariston Model ARM7L125 has 7kg washing and 5kg drying capacities..
I also did not believe in dryer initially. But after staying in US for 1 year where not many people hang their clothes out to dry, I became a dryer convert since I came back. I now swear by a dryer for it versatility in the time of washing my clothes albeit the slightly higher electrical cost.. :spliff:

Emm... went down to OG again this afternoon at 3plus...
Stay about 15 mins.
Not much difference since...
Saw some tall bamboo plant and dead leaf..
Saw one of the balcony glass panel is not fix...
Saw the workers are pasting masking tape on the window frames...
Getting ready for another round of whole building painting? :beats-me-man:

Hmm ... looks like got to wait some more, & not as wat was previously said to be early Oct? :(
Didn't think of bulk purchase with the rest of OG owners... :doh:
I've never used a dryer at home before either but I think will definitely need it as the yard looks so small and dunno whether if can get full sunlight.
I just bought Bosch 7kg washer for $869 and 7kg dryer for $899 a few weeks back from Courts (yah, I know..so early buy things already hehehe). And got the staff to change the $200 shopping voucher to Courts voucher instead which I used to offset another item. It does seem quite ex when compared to the Ariston one. And decided against buying 2-in-1 becos if its spoilt, that's it lah...
Aiyah, buy already leh.... was also concerned with the bill so I bought the one with the higher energy saving rating... can't rbb the electricity consumption else it is easy to calculate the cost of running. But the staff was telling me that some of the European brands are actually made in Indon/Thai so it is cheaper. So check first :)
Oh yah, also a very big thank you for all the pictures and the updates on the progress as it is not convenient for me to go down for the next few weeks :cheers4:
OMG is it my eyes or the windows are tinted green........
Dear lucky OGPs ( Oasis Garden People),
Went in again for everyone. A picture says a thousand words.
Our oasis garden in stressful Singapore is not worth 1k psf, but priceless. I will not be selling at any price.
When TOP, it will be the most relaxed and happiest condo in the northeast

Hi mdm k, think the energy saving info is reflected in the form of ticks. The more ticks on label the better. Ariston & Indesit shld be both made in Italy, but think Bosch shld be a good brand too ... u really "on" ;)

Thanks banger69 for the pictures & updates! So you managed to sneak in?!?
Visited OG on Sunday afternoon and saw that the side gate diagonally opposite the secondary school was open. So, went in and took some photos to share with all of you. The kids' playground is almost completed. It has a little 'tree house'.
Also, I saw the workers carrying out huge empty boxes. From the text printed on the boxes, I believe they previously contained our appliances. Finally, the workers seem to be removing the protective film over the windows. Some of the windows facing towards the pool no longer have the film.
We can forget about asking the security guard to let us take a look in the condo. The 'nice' security guard has been replaced by another who will glare at you if you so much as step a foot past the gate divider!
I've already got a Bosch dryer so I'm afraid I won't join in the bulk purchase. This is my 2nd dryer, and from my own experience, I do not recommend getting a dryer from China. My 1st dryer was from China and it conked out after only 2 years. My current dryer is from Italy and touch wood, it's been 3 years and still going strong.
Also, we may want to consider bulk purchase for curtains, roller blinds or even painting! We'll all need that!
Perhaps we should even have a garage sale if we're moving into OG from another home. We definitely would have things to dispose of such as kids' toys etc. After all, one man's junk is another man's treasure!

Oh, looks like Bosch is a popular brand.
Hey cutematilda. Whatever I can settle, or do bit by bit, I do it first so it will not be overwhelming later :)

Wow!! Finally get to see the pool, have been trying to sneak in but side gate always locked. :D
Did you see the children's pool? Small?
Do not expect too much in terms of size for the kids' swimming pool, kid's playground, steam rooms and the gym. They are rather small although functional.
For instance, the kids' swimming pool should be correctly called the kids' wading pool. The water reaches up probably to my knees.
But the adults' swimming pool is gorgeous. When the frangipangis beside it are full grown and in bloom, it'll be perfect. I doubt many of us will be visiting Bali in future. Might as well stay at home!
Agreed. No more Bali... :cool:

In fact, we already purchased some of the items for our new nest as sometimes you see something you like but a few months later might no longer be available...:D Like Mdm K, don't want to rush to buy everything at one go.
True hor ... looks like I got to ask hubby to go shopping more often :D
But for furniture, quite afraid if later measurement not suitable leh ..
Hi Hello and Cutematilda... glad that i am not the only who has been looking/buying stuff. Yup, the washer/dryer will be stacked. Dunno how much it will cost now to 'raise' the base of the floor by a few inches in order to place the washer/dryer..... and also another base for chest freezer.
But the furniture will have to wait until we see the place cos not sure abt the measurement, dunno how accurate the floor plan is cos it comes with a disclaimer from the developer.
Also hopefully there will be sale/lelongs to look out for. Have anyone checked out the factories sale around OG? any good?

hey mdm k, checked out furniture warehse sales but hubby said no pt buying now as betta to be k.s. abit i.e. play safe and take measurement wor. We visited the one (if u've heard of it) melandas. Think that company used to be at paragon then decided to move to china to sell furniture. Now maybe they intend to return so recently held a warehse sales.
Haven't tried stacking up two machines but currently we use both, side-by-side. Do share if u got good ideas about the 'stacking' concept as me afraid of the machines collapsing :ashamed1:
Do not expect too much in terms of size for the kids' swimming pool, kid's playground, steam rooms and the gym. They are rather small although functional.
For instance, the kids' swimming pool should be correctly called the kids' wading pool. The water reaches up probably to my knees.
But the adults' swimming pool is gorgeous. When the frangipangis beside it are full grown and in bloom, it'll be perfect. I doubt many of us will be visiting Bali in future. Might as well stay at home!
May I know how deep is the pool ?

May I know how deep is the pool ?
I thot these days adult pool must follow standard i.e. can't be too deep?
Hi banger69, when u said kiddy pool smallish, exactly how small is the wading pool? Is there a fountain near it as per the artist impression? Do u've any pix to share over that side?
Emmm.... a very quiet weekend...
Oct is approaching....
Is this the "calm-ness" before the "storm"?
A good "storm" rather... :)
Went down to OG on the last day of Sept....
Not much changes... workers still do minor work inside and outside the units..
Are the standard unit windows & glass planels supposed to be green in color?:confused:
End Oct TOP ??? :beats-me-man:
Thought it should be clear? Could it be the protection layer?
I'm currently overseas for business and thus no chance to go see the progress live.. Got to depend on you guys for updates liao.. :)

What kind of minor work inside & outside when you went down yesterday? Last time saw some workers putting in the details such as pebbles near the main entrance i.e. the ground work at the round-about. Looks like they are at the stage where final details such as 'beautifying' the place are being carried out.
Happy children day .. today only 1 Oct, so we can count down. Hope won't take too long for the vacant possession.

I received from the lawyer to ask for payment for completion of car park, road and drains(60%). The next stage is vacant possession (TOP). Anyone one has previous experience to know how long it will take from this stage(completion of car park etc) to to TOP?
Minor as some sort of patch work to the walls, windows, balcony...
See the workers hand around the baloncy and windows with scrapper/cutter..
But the side door card access reader is not mounted yet.
The look from outside has not much difference from few weeks back, so did not trigger to take any photos... let's see any difference over the weekend..

Visited OG last evening and the security guard probably took pity on me and did not shout at me when I went all the way into OG.
The kids' playground is completed. It is very suitable for kids between 2 - 3 years old. Older kids would shun it though. I do wish though that there was some fencing or rails separating the playground and the kids' wading pool for security.
I also noticed a 'water-fall' between the 2 gyms.
The workers have been busy uprooting many of the plants and re-planting them with new ones. For instance, the dead bamboo plants at the side of OG facing the secondary school have been removed. The shrubs at the left side of OG's entrance have been replaced. For those of you who do not visit OG regularly, you would not notice the little differences. But for me, while I feel that all this re-work is wasting time, admittedly, it makes the place look even nicer.
Unfortunately, as I did not expect to be allowed inside, I did not have mo mobile phone on hand to snap some shots to share with you all.
Also, I see many workers in the individual units. According to the now very friendly security guard, they're touching up the units. The developer has already passed the necessary inspections, and it just not issuing TOP, which has now been delayed to next month. :banghead:
Since Children's Day and the Lantern Festival are over, I guess we can only cross our fingers and hope that we'll be able to celebrate Christmas there.

I was impressed with the layout. The area is quiet and very near to the MRT. What is the price per sq.ft.? The Gurkha compound is huge. Prime property if you ask me. I wonder if the gov't has plans to relocate them.

No news yet anybody? or is it going to be like what banger69 updated i.e. till next month?!
Heard my hubby said his fren claimed that the gurkas could fulfill contractual obligation, then go home, so tt compound could be developed into something maybe?

Hi fellow OGP,
While it is frustrating to wait and wait, our new home seems to be getting more and more beautiful. I managed to find out who is in charge of our very beautiful OG.
Ms Chang huai-yan. They also won the 2nd Prize by STB at Aichi Exposition, Singapore Pavilion.
Profile from web:
Salad Dressing was set up in 2002 by Chang huai-yan and Lee Berlin, who are both architecturally trained.
The principal designer, Chang huai-yan was trained by landscape artist, Michael White. Combining his training in architecture, he leads the company's vision in creating landscape with a romantic modernist touch.
The company believes in using new garden and bio-technology techniques when creating new aesthetics in landscape. We explore with new green roof system as well as vertical landscape techniques. Artwork that incorporates softscape is the other interest that we use to animate our garden.
http://www.saladlandscape.com/home.html
Let's hope we get the keys soon!
Cheers
Banger69
It is indeed frustrating... I visited the site on Saturday and was quite upset that there were only 3 person working inside.. One was assembling the rubbish bins to be placed at the ground floor lobbies while the other 2 were fixing the roof-top of the guardhouse.. Otherwise, the entire site was all quiet..
The other disturbing sight is that the gondola cables are still hanging there..
Call developer trying to get some leads, no answer.... :banghead:
Really frustrating!! :simmering:

19-10-09, 17:21
Yes indeed. It appears that there are just minor works left, but the developer is not eager to finish it up...:tsk-tsk: I am really hoping for TOP and collection of keys before end of Oct.
That's the part I don't understand... Since they are almost sold out (left 2 untis of PH), ain't it better for them to collect the TOP $$ from the owners rather than to delay the TOP further? Doesn't make sense right? :beats-me-man:
Maybe Kheng Leong is just too rich... :scared-1:

Secrets to Oasis Garden?
Posted on Oct 20, 2009 by Banger
What type of home you want to live in?
Peaceful?
Safe?
Close to good schools?
Good transportation links?
Near eating places?
Growth potential?
Good Fengshui?
Oasis garden has it all. Why?
Peaceful? Balinese serenity with few landed residential and no HDB
Safe? In front of the Gurkha residences who are our elite police guards
Close to good schools? Maris Stella and Cedar, RI, RJC and International schools
Good transportation links? Circle line MRT, KPE and Tampines-Bartley - Queensway viaduct
Near eating places? Many coffeeshop and eatery along upper paya lebar
Growth potential? Under URA master plan for the next 10 years, Paya Lebar will be the new commercial Hub. The catch is there are few residential buildings in the area
Good Fengshui? Super if you understand Fengshui and know its importance in a home.
Lastly, it is FREEHOLD and like wine, it will get better with age instead of depreciating like 99LH.
What else you you want in a home?
cutematilda
20-10-09, 18:00
Hi banger
Do you intend to sell? Such a good write-up I must say. Thanks for sharing with the world the goodness of our new home.
Pardon me for posting your review here but I just got excited when I see people (or future neighbours being so proud of our OG) :ashamed1:

Especially like this part but is it near RI? Can also share more about fengshui, would like to learn how good is it. Thanks! :p
Wow, where did you find this post?? :scared-4:
But hor.. sound like property agent... :D
Haha. I was bored in the office and decided to contribute to why Oasis Garden in property guru since no one wrote anything notable. Glad you like it. I am not a property agent and not intending to sell my unit too because a good home is hard to find and money in the bank does not bring happiness unlike a a good home for my family.
There are more than 20 units on sale and hope it may help them sell out their units faster and at a higher price for greater happiness.
On RI and RJC, the school is only 5 mins drive away. Having spend so much effort to raise funds building up the school, I would certainly hope my son can benefit from it as well.
On fengshui, there is really too much to talk about and difficult to write out accurately. Btw, I am not an expert but read a few books to learn. Just a few points of the top of my head,
1) Protection from the rear like hills and mountains. In our case Gurkhas, the elite defenders of Singapore and their families. Trained to protect with their lives, do you think any bad guys will dare come close?
2) Smooth flowing qi like water or air in the front. OG has constant breeze from the unblocked north. Smooth flowing traffic in front most of the time especially on weekends and nights
3) Bend in the road in front from Upper paya lebar to Bartley is good. Roads bending away is bad. Never buy near expressways, the occupants will be easily irritated and excitable due to the fast moving traffic.
4) Never buy near pubs or religious places. Too many vices and sorrows.
5) Buy near schools as education is very positive and the best gift you can give your child
I guess, the easiest is to feel. Take a walk around OG in the evenings or weekends, how do you feel?
Do you hear peace and tranquility? You do feel the constant breeze? Do you hear kids laughing? Do you see happy Gurkha families walking and running together? Do you feel at peace with this world?
With peace, you will find happiness and prosperity. Cheers
Sounds nice, especially since it is FH and peaceful. :)

Hi jtpy, think you would have found it by now .. yup, guess correctly >> propertyguru ;)
Good for everyone of us!!
Anyway, my agent just told me that the last 3 bedder in O.Gdn #14-02 was sold for $827psf... That's not too bad news for those of us who bought our units at lower psf....;)
cutematilda
21-10-09, 12:43
Yup, good news for everyone, hopefully also include those who bought really early during the boom time. Perhaps now the pricing almost close to that level then two years ago? More positive energy when everyone is happy! :p
Just a question as I'm really new in Fengshui. Thought the road is so wide outside that it appears that there is another one bending outward? Referring to point 3 shared by banger, does it mean the flyover, which is not too near but also not that far, is no good?

Remember you have an international school a stones throw away, which will be up and running in A few year. I know there will be more development in the area. I have to believe it's a matter of time before the gurhka compound will be converted into private residential units. BCA has conducted their inspection so it's just a matter of time. OG is FH does everyone realize how valuable land is here. Who bought and will live there?

Sorry no insider news I know everyone is eager like me. Workers there are doing touch up work major stuff is done. I do know that there will be some development near to the new American international school on the side of woodleigh mrt.
3) Bend in the road in front from Upper paya lebar to Bartley is good. Roads bending away is bad. Never buy near expressways, the occupants will be easily irritated and excitable due to the fast moving traffic. [/quote]
Just to clarify, the road should bend around the property like this o) and not face away and cut into the property like this o( . Hope this is clearer. :)
The flyover is not an expressway and also we are not so near to it. But projects like the Arte, Vista, Hundred trees and even Double Bay and Centro are just beside expressways and open MRT tracks.
For info, the marina bay IR is prime fengshui land for Singapore. It is called the eye of the dragon.
For your own house, you should get a fengshui master to assess before renovating if you are really serious. ;)
Sharing more info on OG past and future,
A bit of future, Paya Lebar Central is set for big changes under the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA’s) latest Draft Master Plan. The plan is to transform Paya Lebar Central into a suburban commercial hub with a unique Malay cultural identity.

Heard also that the plot of land opposite Bartley MRT will be open to Tender this Nov too. We can then better know the potential of our land. :D

A. If we read between the lines, I know that it is nearly impossible nowadays to find new freehold condominiums that has such an attractive redevelopment potential and high capital gains.
B. Nevertheless, many of the points under "The Benefits" are worth relating to; whenever we want to purchase any property.

I popped by yesterday night and the makeup is almost done. They are still planting more hedges and bougainvilleas at the lift lobbies which makes it even nicer. There are so many different species of plants that our children do not need to go anywhere to get the young scientist badge! :D
OG is simply beautiful at night. The deck chairs are lighted warmly and the swimming pool is like a mirror reflecting the moonlight. Too bad my hp camera cannot take good night pics.
My colleagues have asked me if the photo I took in OG was at Banyan Tree!
Imagine the shock on his face when I told him it was my home. ;)
For those thinking of cashing out, be careful of doing it too early unless you have plans to do something better with the money like buy Marina Bay Residences.
The completion of the IR in Singapore is very soon. 1st quarter 2010. When that happens, Singapore will enter our golden age. Our property price will not go down in the near future. For macau, the casino effect increased property prices about 30% before and 30% after its completion. Do you think Singapore will be much worse?
Not many people get a chance to move into a brand new condo. The experience is priceless.
Besides the price should go higher after TOP as buyers can view the units and be charmed by OG's beauty. The brilliance of an architect or landscaper is to convert an idea on paper drawings like our brochure into reality don't you agree?
Kudos to them :cheers1:

I didn't know Macau property prices jumped so much before & after its IR .. wow. But it's not that developed like SGP so perhaps the upside is larger?

A. If we read between the lines, I know that it is nearly impossible nowadays to find new freehold condominiums that has such an attractive redevelopment potential and high capital gains.
B. Nevertheless, many of the points under "The Benefits" are worth relating to; whenever we want to purchase any property.[/quote]
You forgot to mention. This development is just beside many industrial buildings & factories.

Feng Shui not so good if too near industrial activities.
Besides the price should go higher after TOP as buyers can view the units and be charmed by OG's beauty. The brilliance of an architect or landscaper is to convert an idea on paper drawings like our brochure into reality don't you agree?
Best of the best statement! Kudos to banger! :spliff:
Wow, banger is really quite a poetic person don't you think :p
I didn't know Macau property prices jumped so much before & after its IR .. wow. But it's not that developed like SGP so perhaps the upside is larger?
Having read so much good stuff about OG, AGREE that it will be an experience not to be missed ;)
Cannot agree more.. This guy's a poet man!:D
Why not? If can sell at this price or higher? :D :D
Maybe they are just testing the market...
Yah, take #14-02 as example, bought for $827psf and assumed he sold at $1250psf... That is a profit of $423psf! Translate to physical gain is $519k!!!! Can pay in full for a 4-room HDB with spare cash for a nice good renovation!!
Of course, the lost is in missing the opportunity to enjoy this great development...

Exactly..so it can be quite tempting if can fetch a very high price so have to sacrifice something to gain some..it depends on individual perference.
Anyway, when is the keys collection?? Anyone got any idea? Wait until neck long long...:banghead:
Since we are all eagerly awaiting the TOP of our new homes, I believe most of us has already done some shopping for electrical appliances and some furniture.. Let me start the ball rolling on some of my findings on electrical appliances..
One of the best buy 42" LCD TV - Philips 42PFL7409 - Full HD, 100Hz.
Current best price is $1499 with free $150 Choice voucher. Offer from COURT.
Sound bar to match the LCD TV. HTS6100 (Newest model is HTS6120 with iPod docker) -
$849 with $60 Choice voucher. Offer from MEGA
$809. Offer from COURTS
Sound bar HTS8140
$1100. Offer from MEGA
The Philips HTS with Ambisound can produce pretty nice sound without taking up too much space and burn a hole in yr pocket. Of course, these systems are not for the group of serious audiophiles.. Heard Samsung has got some decent soundbars but has yet to check them out...
Indesit washing machine and dryer stack-up systems
$1199 - Offer from MAYER
Check out some other options from Bosch, Fisher and Parker, etc and most cost >$1.5k..
Will update more once I go check them out.. Still looking for a decent 32" LCD for the master bedroom..
Over the weekend can visit the Home Electronics and Consumer Expo h
eld at the Singapore Expo.
See if can look for a good tech deal... :)
Fancy a new LCD TV at $199?

Just to clarify, the road should bend around the property like this o) and not face away and cut into the property like this o( . Hope this is clearer. :)
The flyover is not an expressway and also we are not so near to it. But projects like the Arte, Vista, Hundred trees and even Double Bay and Centro are just beside expressways and open MRT tracks.
For info, the marina bay IR is prime fengshui land for Singapore. It is called the eye of the dragon.
For your own house, you should get a fengshui master to assess before renovating if you are really serious. ;)
Sharing more info on OG past and future,
A bit of future, Paya Lebar Central is set for big changes under the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA’s) latest Draft Master Plan. The plan is to transform Paya Lebar Central into a suburban commercial hub with a unique Malay cultural identity.

Heard also that the plot of land opposite Bartley MRT will be open to Tender this Nov too. We can then better know the potential of our land. :D
A bit of history, Oasis garden was Enbloc many years back. Interesting to read the marketing agent talk to potential developers back then. Enjoy!
