    sorry sorry pretty busy these few days, got no time to visit this forum.

    Hi Avatar, acewee,
    my reno cost is quite reasonable, because I hack off the store room to extend the dinning hall, seal up the kichen door, open 2 sliding doors, convert the kichen window to glass door, and buid up a new store room in the original kichen entry.... that's why costed a bit more than usual... > 50K ...

    Stan's quotation is very fair, so don't worry. if you are interested, you can simply drop him an email to make an appointment. for contact info, pls pm our dear McKinnon

    Nice theme. Very relaxing feel. At this price its pretty reasonable. I assume it does not include the furnishing? Does it include the wall paper?

    Agreed! that time when we did house hunting, we did have some choices. but eventually we were attracted by Tropica, because I used to stay at east, and work at east....and Tropica is so green, quite, and convenient if you are driving

    Yes, it's more for quality of life.

    DBR is a good choice also, can walk to MRT... wow! Congratulation to you, i believe you bought at good price also.

    Welcome to the East

    Thanks. We bought the dinning set at Furniture Club. around 2.5K if I remember correctly. it comes with 4 chairs, but i put 2 chairs in the family area as desiger said it's too crowed... :P

    we tailor make the dinning bench, in order to hide the original storeroom wall and floor, as that floor was not marble, new marble color is not 100% match...

    not fair leh. Tropica has better view, facing reservior directly and facing south, and yet no road noise at all. why perform like that!

    but you are right, if new condo come, hopefully Tropica will fly again, and we can have more facilities rather than only got 老增记.

    before CNY i was sick, i had to drive back to my previous clinic in order to get MC. very troublesome leh.

    guess what, my family doctor stays in blk 57 also i asked him to open weekend branch in Tropica but he said not feasible. so i put my hope on the new condo. if got 600 units, sure increase the population and demands.
