i think the nicely designed mosque is less of an eyesore compared to the MRT track facing your unit next time.

It's ding dong ding dong plus zi... Zi... Zi..... Plus si si si and zi si zi si sound till mid night... Toot toot toot plus bongggggggg bonggggggg haha

we may not like it, but this is music to the ears for those who bought a track facing unit at caspian

wellwe may not like it, but this is music to the ears for those who bought a track facing unit at caspian
if they had gotten a good discount for those track affect units ... enough savings to put up sound proofing windows / one way glass ( can look out, cannot look in) ...then those units are worth it ...
otherwise may have paid too much
Senior
very hard to soundproof if the track is just beside your unit. i like natural air entering the unit and if i have to close the windows all the time just to avoid the noise, living in the place can be stifling, i will rather not live there.

hey...i like that adam rd prawn noodles...the chilli powder really gives u a good kick!
Senior
during his early days, his mee pok was the best. he later changed his biz strategy to sell big prawn noodles. His soup base still good lah i must say.
Senior
if got really good discount, use the savings to instal a sound sensor window ..
everytime train approaches ...sound proof windows automatically shuts ... and open after train passes ...
Senior
you are more advanced than me, don't know they have such windows now. come to think of it if the sensor detects the sound, wouldnt it be too late already? MRT track noise is just one aspect, what about the traffic noise from the road in front of caspian, more decibels will be added. I think if the residents instal such a window, it will be constantly opening and closing until the mechanism pitcha in less than 1 month lol
Newbie
the soup base is really solid...sometimes i finish that before touching the noodles...dont fancy the nasi lemak that is supposed to be famous there...both of them.
Senior
ahhahaha true
maybe reverse the sensor ... everytime you walk near the window .. it opens
Senior
don't know about the nasi lemak there, but the indian stalls selling mee goreng and mutton soup not bad. Talking about this makes me hungry liao
Senior
when i was building my house ..i wanted to instal a rain sensor ... when the car porch roof is on top of the patio ..
when it rains .. it slides side way ..to cover the car porch ... that way in and out of the car .. one wont get wet ..
i am a tech freak ..my contractor hated me for all these stuff .. anyway i didnt do it cos contractor couldnt find the right track .. but the architect loves my idea ...
i actually such motorised track in germany ..though not specifically meant for this use .. but too expensive to bring in ...
Senior
i think this kind of windows hard to sell in singapore, otherwise the company making it would have capitalised on that a long time ago. but it is still interesting to know something like this exists
Senior
CNY period .. yu can expect to eat only non chinese food at all hawker centres / food courts
Junior
whether vibration for mrt track travel faster or sound waves to reach the sensor?
but for high tech device, prefer the electrical opaque windows. press 1 button, the windows become opaques, press another button, become transparent again.
Senior
how good and reliable is that ?
i have seen it but not used it ...
imagine installed in bathroom ... and while you pang sai ing ..it kaputts and turns clear ... meanwhile your face turns blue

i think they use this technology on LRT, each time the skybus passes HDB flats in close proximity, the glass just darkens.

Following from other chaps... Perfect reasons for not buying a 12 year old RH, situated in an inaccessible location where views can be had in many condos located elsewhere in Singapore with less than 12 years old history.
Buying at current price will mean suicide. Your money, not mine. Spend anyway you like.

You can see this thread for more details on the cons (mostly): http://forums.condosingapore.com/showthread.php?t=9204
Below is the comments from a fellow forumer:
Be extremely careful about buying Regent Heights. My friend just sold her regent heights 3 bedder and she had been living there for 10 years. The following are the list of problems:
1) the workmanship for the project is poor and she said that partition between certain walls are partition board and not even concrete.
2) the central heater is hidden and unreachable without hacking, a rather strange feature i thought (u need to confirm that)
3) The surrounding area is very poorly maintained and the lifts at the multi-storey carpark have been vandalised without being repaired for some time
4) Too many strange people walking in and out of the condo and you won't feel like you are living in a Singapore property
5) Go to every lift lobby and see the number of bicycles parked there and you will think twice about living there. The bicycles are messily strewn all over the place and many are rusty bicycles. We are not talking about a few bicycles here and there, we are talking about 30-40 bicycles at the lobbies, making the entire place look so cheapskate coz you see parapoondeks and mainlanders paddling to and from work everyday in their rusty 2 wheelers.
6) The last time I went there, the trees in the projects were not well-maintained as well. Sometimes dead leaves everywhere and not swept by the management.
My conclusion for this project....
I think The Jade is a better choice since 50m from Bukit Batok MRT station, just beside West Mall and NTUC Fairprice, etc, and near bus interchange for direct bus to many places if don't want to take MRT.
i am not a supporter of regulator or teddybear. but for this i support teddybear. cannot imagine an opinion of a project can be so contradicting by a same person within a short period of time.
1st - it is a CMI project
2nd - bought for investment
how can a CMI project be bought for investment?
if want to buy RH for investment, why want to condemn RH in the 1st place? hidden agenda?
Go for Smallest Unit
Buy at current price can be suicide anywhere in Sg too.
It's common to pick and say all the negative things before buying.
It's also common to pick and say only the positive things before selling.
It's most common to ask for as much money for it when it's comes to selling, even if that person hates it to the core after buying.
That is human behaviour for u.
You should also be like that and also will be like that. Even CCR folks are like that. When everyone is like that, no need to say.
五十步笑百步.
Go for Smallest Unit

One of the best views before it is gone. Near MRT too.
When I sing praise for views, this would be a real example. When I comment on the views positively, it is for any tree or moutain view that is rare to find in Singapore.
Senior
i think you better start worrying about your own 2 bedroom unit facing the MRT track in caspian and not worry about Regent Heights. You better quickly sell your 2 bedroom unit quickly now, if not when you try to sell it after it is built, it would be almost impossible, coz nobody when they realise the noise from the unit would want to buy a lousy unit facing the MRT track with track.
In case you forget, the following are the articles and video for your reference:
(1) MRT trains are causing too much noise
Tue, Dec 02, 2008
my paper
By Mr Soo Ann Poh
It is good to know that SMRT is rolling out more train trips every week for commuters.
But that, unfortunately, is bad for those who live near MRT stations or tracks.
The increased speed and frequency of the trains have created more noise pollution for these people. I am one of them.
The noise starts as early as 5.30am and stops only after 12.30am. It is worst during peak hours.
The noise level ranges from 55 to 70 dB.
This exceeds the World Health Organisation's guideline values, which state that the range of noise levels inside bedrooms during the night should be lower than 30 dB - and no higher than a maximum of 45 dB - to avoid sleep disturbance.
The continuous noise from the trains is annoying and distracts people from working, studying and sleeping.
I hope SMRT, the Land Transport Authority, the National Environment Agency, and the Ministry of Environment can look into the problem and come up with solutions that would benefit everyone.
(2) A Piece of Scientific information on MRT noise
"The noise interferes with sleep in a number of ways like causing a person to awaken repeatedly, resulting in poor sleep quality as well as other impacts. It also alters sleep pattern by causing sleep to change from heavier to lighter sleep. It reduces the percentage and total time in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. The noise affects slow wave sleep, increase body movement and change cardiovascular responses. Subjected to 45 decibels of noise, the average person cannot sleep. These affect mood and performance the next day and have adverse longer term effects. The train noise level at the affected areas is typically above 60 dB (allowed by NEA), very much above the healthy limit (about 30-35 dB) recommended by WHO and values adopted by First World countries. "

Better avoid beside MRT track, bus interchange, mosque, temple, church, flooded property, expressway, casino, KTVs. Anything else?
Senior
To mygeemel:
Sorry for the broken link earlier. This is another link preparing you for the daily 17 hour MRT symphony in your new home at caspian. Listen to it long enough and i am sure it will be music to your ears. You may even want to upload this piece of music to your handphone and use it as your ring tone

You mean people who say positive things are hoping to sell at good price while people saying negative things are hoping to buy at cheap price? All these people are hypocratic & are natural human behavior?
I better don't say anything good or bad about any property least I become labelled hypocratic like these people?
