Laguna last word at Eco's thread :
'I have already earned the respect of others, and there is no need for me to show off at all.

YOU entitle to your own opinion, it does not bother me at all.'


The above is Laguna's last post at Eco's thread...don't know y he or she is still bothered by what ppl says abt Eco hor?

why should I in the first place?
If I bother about others' opinion, than I am living in a life dictated by others and not my own life.

Quite basic. Where there's low land, bad chi flows there. Those above slope are too near feels like slipping. In that area, u have a row of HDB slanted at an angle that cuts thru. Alot of units there so called north south facing, but too bad the main doors are not. Some have layouts with wc facing main door.

These r personal opinions if u don't care about fengshui it's your own problem.
The above might sound excessive but no, I just need a good plot, good front door facing. Just have to pay a higher price, that's all.

If people keep saying your house is no good, and keep saying that theirs is very good, of course you will want to debate on it.

I forgot to add that those units w sky pool on top is bad fengshui. Go google and see. On being practical, having sky pool is really great in yr project as long as its not above my unit. Maintenance is difficult for pools on roof.

no need la!
when a person talks more, u will know more about the person, so let him talk.
He owns a unit at Optima, so it is understood.

No doubt I was pretty impress by the idea of a sky pool in a mass market condo, until I googled about it. Its not good staying under it, both feng shui and maintence issues.

Yes, freedom of speech excluding garmen and lees. I learnt a lot from this forum. Some really gave good tips that I didn't consider before.

Choices made should not by led entirely by price and facilities.
I don't have parent's backing thus I need to make a choice wisely.

if skypool leaked, wouldnt the unit directly below it be inconvenienced?
does worker need to enter the unit to repair the skypool?

is there any opening and closing times for skypool?

This one I agree with you.
I won't want to stay with pool directly above my unit.
But if leak the MCST is responsible for its repair.

i LOL super loudly at this comment ........

Somehow i feel shooting down each other's projects may have some/slight negative impacts on the resale/subsale prices cos potential buyers would be able to google for the project info... and whatever written in this forum i believe would still be accessible many many yrs down the road =)

For Eco to build a 'public'shared skypool on one of the blocks shows they are really trying very hard to impress,not only there will be a fear of damage/leakage and cost of damage will have to be shared with All residents as its open to ALL via a lift.
There will also be potential noise and it intrudes in resident's privacy as well.

Despite all these "discussions" I'm glad we didn't need to use hokkien.. Not like the forum on caspian

Maybe Laguna shld start a New thread to bitch All he wants there as he's not getting any attention here. Lol shoo...

you refer to me? I missed the boat? yes, I missed, I missed many, many.
Did u miss? YES, perhaps more than me
and lots of people missed many boats as well.

I own the worst in the vicnity, let it be your call then, and let time proves it.

What I wrote about Optima is a statement of fact and not talking down.

Why should I get attention in the first place. I don't want and I don't need.
BTW, if I am not getting attention, I will not encounter such strong response from u.

Warrenty for pool is 10 years from the developer.

Warrenty for pool is 10 years from the developer.

So the moral of the story is sell away the unit after 10 years.

I went viewed Eco. Layout is bad for fengshui so nono for own stay.

I read back past postings and realise the same as well.
Their feeling is understood.

thats a good sign that developer is ready to standby its product.
But I prefer if it doesnt leak at all for 95 years if i am staying directly below the pool without any intervening structure

My concerns for block with skypool, not just Eco:
1) any opening & closing hours for skypool, because of noises at odd hours.
2) for the block with skypool, are there extra lifts to cater to additional visitors? if there isnt, i would expect the lifts to break down faster, which would add to the inconvenience of the residents in that block.

If i am not mistakened, the warranty from developer to owner is 1 yr, but the warranty between the developer and construction firm (and its sub-contractors) could be up to 10yrs.

Usually the warranty of 1 year is for the inside of the unit.

Anything external, under the responsibility of the MCST should be about 10 years eg waterproofing, swimming pool defect.

One of my condos has a minor water-proofing defect in the unit. I only discover it after my tenant has shifted out which is more than 1 yr after TOP already. Contacted the MCST and they managed to get the developer and subsequently the sub-contractors to rectify for free...

But no.. i didnt enjoy all the hackings, dust and re-laying of the parquet floor even though they r for free....

NO need. I'm not so paranoid. I just need good plot and door facing. Maybe u need it more
