    Some of my friends plagued by monkeys in other developments (monkey issus are common even in other districts), have tried the those super water guns after failing in trapping a particularly tiresome monkey. The monkey did not return after a couple of 'hits' by the water.

    Then again of cos' that's just one monkey making negative reinforcements easier to enforce... haha

    Yeah, make more signs telling people to help the monkeys return to the forest by not feeding them...

    I am a future owner there as well.

    I totally agree not to feed the monkeys, it will only make them come again, and the number will get more and more. It's animal instinct, where there is food, they will go.

    Also important to make sure those having BBQ in the estate in future do not throw food around.

    Otherwise, it should be a very nice place to stay!!!

    The monkeys there are NOT shy at all! They would look right into your eyes if you stare at them. There are reported cases that they snatch people's food and plastic bags...

    Yes. I saw one monkey snatching a ang moh lady's plastic bag before. Maybe there is food inside, but it is not meant for the monkeys one. The lady got a rude shock and struggled with the monkey. the monkey even snared at her. My wife was shocked when she saw how fierce the monkeys can be.

    The lesson here is: don't tempt the monkeys with food. When they are hungry and they see food, they will act on basic instinct: get the food AT ALL COSTS, which may include scratching or injuring the human being carrying the food.

    Cover the food up well so that the smell doesn't get out. If the smell gets out, not only monkeys but cats and dogs will also follow you.

    Don't think smell is an issue leh... so long as they see plastic bags, they think its food.

    * plastic bag = food inside =(

    Heard from developer's staff that they are pushing for 1st quarter 2008. But of cos at the end of the day, intent may not equate delivery, actual delivery would be dependent on multiple factors.

    - I don't know if there's still discounts.
    - low floor units facing train tracks still available. I bought a level 3 unit because it's cheap. Went to the actual unit at the construction site and realise that I can't even see the train track which is great news because the garden vista units have a FULL VIEW of the ugly tracks. I'm facing some decent greenery too, behind that I can see a little bit of South Haven.
    - Last heard frm my agent: 508psf to 580psf depending on facing. But that's for 3bd rm units. didnt ask about 2rm, 3+1 or 4.

    P/S i really didn't like the lap pool facing units - because you the satelitte dish is right in front you.

    Anyways heard its mostly 3+1 left. I personally feel that there don't seem to be any really "bad views" in this development, which is surprising & gd. Had first thought that unit facing tracks was "bad view" but my partner like the train & the tracks... then later to my delight & my partner's disappointment, discovered that one can hardly see the train/tracks!

    the pool facing one can only see slight part of the radio tower.
    if trees are taller, maybe can't see. checked on google earth,
    it's about 500m to the left corner.



    i am eyeing a unit there but was quoted 580psf.

    agent claims developer will not bulge.
    some folks at condo.com.sg says developer might
    sell at old price on case by case basis.

    anyone knows?

    Hi there, are u the same person asking the question in the condo.com.sg forum? Anyways heard from my agent that the developer on an earlier occasion had even tried to stop her from completing her sales at old prices. Complain that they'd have nothing to sell at higher prices by time show room opens if the agents continue to stakeout that area without shw room and pushing for sales on the basis that price would be increasing/more shortly. Am not sure how true though.

    But of course to me it would not make sense to sell at lower price with positive private market sentiments, so little units left and expensive showroom on its way...?

    Hi, am a owner of a unit and one of the first few who purchased a unit. I was wondering how many of us here are owners of a unit at RT. As the TOP is drawing near, I was wondering if actual owners wanted to form a RT owner's group to exchange information regarding TOP, payments (advance maintenance, surveyor, reno, etc), added finge benefits, and other info for the benefits of the owner. I suggest that we form an email group to exchange these information. U can email me at [email protected] and I will consolidate all owners and form a cc list to keep the group updated.

    Cheers to all and hope to hear from u soon!

    Some of the points to note upon TOP as told by agent:

    1) 6 month's worth of maintenance fees to be paid upfront;
    2) Surveyors' fee in cash to be paid to lawyer (need group member to advice so as not to kana tok by lawyer);
    3) Support help here to identify common faults upon checking installed components;
    4) Fixture cost not provided by developer (eg, main gate, rear window gate, etc)
    5) Etc.

    I bought a 4th floor unit in Blk 83 (~ $450 psf), not sure if it is defined as track facing.
    While we had the intention to stay, may consider sub sale if the price is attractive enough to convince us to let go of such a wonderful development.

    If you let go of raintree,how else are you going to get another home at such a good price?
