See, I live at saraca court in a rental. As such have no real incentive to keep it's reputation etc but the video above may convey too drastic of a situation as the footage taken on bukit timah rd, entrance of the condo but it is not flooding inside condo.Originally Posted by stalingrad
Living on a Low floor I can say there are more coach roaches then I'd like. We have used the grocery store type pest control which helped but some still there especially at T the laundry area.Originally Posted by land118
At least no ants as ones I used to battle with in another unit at st Thomas walk.
Generally nice environment, quiet and peaceful.Originally Posted by devilplate
Heard the resident committee is very on the ball.
Is it because the cockroaches homes got flooded? so cockroaches have to run up?Originally Posted by land118
I remembered whenever neighbours do renovations, my house will have lots of cockroaches. all their hiding places disturbed.
I was studying the possibility of amalgamation of vacant plots to the left and right of Sterling. As if it happens the potential of Sterling is very good.
Extracted from a SLA document.
"Remnant lands are small and/or irregularly shaped plots of State Lands.
Due to their size and shape, there are limited uses for such lands. Tolands into their projects."
optimise the use of State Lands, the Government may encourage or
require developers of adjoining lands to purchase and amalgamate such
However on closer inspection i realised the empty land are pretty large by its own. Its neither small and/or irregularly shaped. I doubt URA would allow it to be amalgamated.
The security ic is also damn on the ball...which is good.Originally Posted by ymgsterling
btw, sterling built by FEO.....quality still goodie after 10yrs
duno y many condemn FEO quality wor...
i simply love their worksmanship.....personally witnessed lakeshore, vida, icon, clift.....
for this particular project, i agree. For their recent projects, the finishing better be good - they charge a premium over others in the area!Originally Posted by devilplate

Flooding, none recently.
Next problem is the Access Hole for the DTL2 TBM right outside and MW now organising a petition to have it moved. Problem is mostly about the number of kids walking to MGS that will have to walk along the new footpath on the new bit of road installed above the river. The current footpath along MW boundary is to get dug up and nobody till recently told MW management. There's also a problem of a 3-Way bottleneck being planned for BT Road, MW and Truck Access to the hole.
I don't have/use Facebook but anyone that does can find the details on the MW petition page.
Sterling now is in the better position till construction is complete.
Went down to Casa Esperanza and Sterling yesterday in the late morning for some errands. Thankfully, the exit from Blackmore down to Bt Timah Road to Clementi Road was not blocked by the floods.
It appears that the flood prone area lies between Blackmore (not inclusive) all the way down to Tessarina. This means Maplewoods, Cascadia, Floridian, Nexus are all affected....
Yah. Flood prone area. But at least u have some comfort that the carpark of Sterling is not flooded lor. At least FEO has some conscience to plan the drainage properly and effectively within the condo compound. Outside the condo is not within the developer's control.

But can you imagine the feelings of those who have purchased Cascadia?

things have improved alot since ... but we are seeing a return of flood in that stretch ...
i wonder , apart from the schools there ... how can D11 still be prime ?
Can the mrt help? The water diverted into the tunnels up to track level. Still ok right?
I think the mrt tunnel should be converted to drainage system to support the long kang.
Ok, seriously, did Tessarina's new flood gates and warning signals work this time?
With these floods, the houses and condos are all affected one way or another, but I don't see anyone exiting/cashing out. Why?
Based on the news reports, Tessarina survived. Wilby Road was raised by a metre and the surrounding storm drains beside and under Tessarina were deepened. They survived this round of floods.Originally Posted by mygeemeel
