teddybear is a cheena ah pek who like practical condos, if a bit obiang. all that modern stylish design wasted on him. just like how cheena mainlanders and obiang indo prefer 4 seasons to BLVD.

thanks. Most sensible comment to dateOriginally Posted by Reporter
Teddybear's taste is a bit heartlander, due to his upbringing, but cannot blame him.
There is a reason why there is such a disparity between Park Infinia prices/rents and Newton Suites', despite Park Infinia's attributes like land size and proximity to amenities. It all sounds very good on paper.
No need for me to tell you guys that NS price and rent $psf is a good deal higher than PI.
It is pretty obvious which group of buyers have both taste AND money. They are willing to pay premium for art, design and ***y living, a concept that is totally foreign to buyers like Teddybear.
Teddybear's mantra is typically heartlander Singaporean: rooms must be square, otherwise loogi space! must have a lot of facilities so that extended family can use during weekends! must be freehold! better still, must be condo status! must be near MRT and supermarket! if don't have all this, really loogi one! bang for the buck argh!!

Newton Suites was never intended to be a family condo. Childrens playground is totally unused. Newton Suites is a yuppies condo, as can be inferred from the type of stylish cars in the carpark.Originally Posted by teddybear
Go to skyscraper city forum, they have many Newton Suites fans there who can educate you a little on classy design, style and taste.
But i think lao obiang cheenas like you will still totally miss the point.
I am not vested in NS, but i really like it. In fact, love all SCDA and WoHa designs. That is really modern Euro design, avant garde.
I am young and loaded and drive a 335 cabrio so I am really hating on all these old foggies who shake their head everytime they see an "impractical" expensive purchase, be it a car, watch or condo! So therefore as an analogy, i hate 4 door Mercs, Rolex watches, and family practical condos like Park Infinia!

hello! you know how to use forum or not? alamak... primary school kid also know how to attach file or graphic URL lah!Originally Posted by moneyspinner
At last we agree on one thing. The higher LS sells and if LS sells well, the better it is for everyone who has a vented interest in this area. This includes developers. If LS is a failure then where do we go? Balestier/Novena?Originally Posted by amk
Now back to the original debate which is better for investment, LS or NS? Let's not worry about how much developer paid for the land. They paid peanuts for GLS and yet they will still sell at market rate. If they paid high they must still sell if they don't make or they lose more money
This is my take if you must buy something in the area. Let me also make it provocative so that we get some reactions going
Price differential >$250-$300 go for NS or PI or Viva else go for LS or Trilight
Teddybear's idea of condo is: must be bright, lots of space, must be "dai fong" with big driveway and the name in cursive fonts everywhere... better still if got little boy angel statue pissing in the fountain... wah lau.. this guy must be just walked out of those '80s HK movie sets, with the slick back hair and the baggy white suit and cigar in his mouth, sitting in white Mercedes SEL or Rolls Royce.

Ha ha ha! Why you guess I am ah pek? Only those goodus pay an arm or a leg for the so-called 'modern' blackish eerie-ish and still cannot see day-light type of apartment and paying condominium price! Seems like only those 'mouse head mouse eye' type like to live in such dark apartments. Not only that, all the units so small size. Good to be used as high-class Hotel 81 like Pacific Mansion.
Real stylish design can also be practical, not those fake type.

Children not suitable to live here (discourage to have children living there, so better don't have children playground). All sort of orgies happening there so must be dark and cannot see clearly is it? Ha ha ha! Those who like such condos must be such orgy type, that is why when I reveal the truth and they so worked up! Ha ha ha! Orgy mouse head get lost lah! Otherwise need to set mouse trap already. Otherwise cannot tahan I sent 1 post and he needs to send so many posts.
Who cares you are loaded or not? This type of people sooner or later will die of AIDS or meet accident for speeding. No cure one (luckily). Unluckily they are so near to the hospital. Ai yah, wasted, so always get saved, but never mind lah, they don't die suffer even more (cannot die but also cannot live). This type of people "eat & waste rice", don't know live in this world for what.

I see you getting too carried away ... There was a clip on pet pigs on TV. The pigs show more inteligience than you.Originally Posted by teddybear

No choice lah. Who ask me to share too much? May be I should just keep quiet and let other forumers get conned about how good these condos are so that these people with self-interest can pass on their 'babies'.

I agreed Teddy has probably shared too much. There are probably one or two others whose comments has lots of value if you care to digest the knowledge. These people are also into multiple forums and not just this one.
It's a pity other forumers take them either too seriously or not serious enough
Can we get back to the topic on Lincoln Suites please?
Pls vote Yes or No, if No what other options? Thanks.
Probably need another cup of tea and another picture to cool down.

Lincoln Suites just behind Newton Suite.

One thing LS will be blocked by USQ in front unless you go above 25 floors? There is probably 1 block which can peep thru Viva to the City.
Nice picture Reporter. Thanks.
andy I have just seen Trilight. Very nice. rooms pretty big. And the finishing at least in the showroom is nice enough. The layout is better than LS. (One lift with a star shape for the units, more privacy) And is cheaper (1800 for 2bd, 1700 for 3/4bd, but quantum bigger). If you are seriously considering LS I urge u take a look at Trilight.
how's the take-up rate for Trilight so far?

Also note that they shared a common driveway with the small 10floor builing next door
I posted my impression of trilight at its thread. u can take a look. in short a little diff from yours, I guess just diff ppl diff taste.
anyway not to OT too much here, did u talk to those eager LS agents outside Novena Square ? funny such a makeshift "stall" kind of practice. Koh Bro better setup a proper show venue asap. If not the image maybe tarnished. I saw a few girls with short/tight outfits handing out flyers, and I actually thought they were for some new opening bars outside NS
