Vacanza @ East

[dell1000]

What? Let's get our lawyers to whack Hoi Hup!

I am not sure what to do next, since only the management office told me that LTA reject the main gate, I don't have any black and white.

But I think we need to push them to build a main gate since it is very important, else our swimming pool and play ground will be used as a open facility.

If you need MIO TV in your master bedroom as well, you will have 3 options
1. approach Sngtel to wire another data line to your bedroom (20m wiring is free, thereafter, you pay the difference in the length).
2. buy power line home plug and hook the ONT/MIO box to it
3. rewire the telephone line to a data on at the JB/DB.

Your choice really...good luck.

Ok. Thanks for the advice. Will go check them out.

But now the problem is HH never reply the email why there is no main gate in VE, the "LTA reject the plan" is from management office, they only told me without any document.

From what I heard, it got nothing to go with LTA or landed property complaints, it's down to the transponder for our cars, it can't detect if vehicles coming from the sides thus they remove the main gate, which is kind of ridiculous as anyone just come in and out of the condo, after observing for half an hour, I realize especially those agents, just smile and wave to the guards and enter the premises, not safe at all.

Divert attention, do all the toilets have the white block to put items or only master bedroom toilet?

yes, even i just drove n rode in w/o even looking at the guards.

white block to put things only in master toilet for my B4

Just went to singtel shop. The staff told me to check whether there is a distribution board in the DB box and whether all the points in the apartment are data points.

[dvldude]

my bathroom is without that white solid shelf ...

Both the bathroom or?

[mshlin]

the answer is no and no.

[mshlin]

I disagree. It is a problem because Jason wants to install mio TV boxes in both living room and master bedroom.

There is no issue with the 1st mio TV box in the living room but to install a 2nd mio TV box in master bedroom, it will be a major project to do concealed wiring tapping from living room across passageway, 3rd bedroom, 2nd bedroom before arriving at master bedroom. That would easily cost a 4 digit figure. If non-concealed, then would be cheaper.

mio TV Box doesn't have WIFI capability to connect to the modem.

I have a solution/idea:
1. get the 2nd TV box - I don't know how but maybe buy from Singtel?
2. in your mio modem, configure VLAN 20 to another Ethernet port
3. from this port, connect a Cat5e cable to a Homeplug
4. use another homeplug in master room, pair them.
5. from this homeplug, connect a Cat5e cable to TV box
6. connect your TV to TV box.
It just an idea, not proved to work.

Singtel also provide another solution:

Stupid contractor created stupid problem which requires a stupid solution.

Ask the three guards to rotate shift to guard the main gate by one guard sitting in the middle of the road to force drivers to stop.

Cars I am not so worried because we have the automatic barriers.

Public I am worried because they can literally walk past the guards and into the condominium.

I am not sure what to do next, since only the management office told me that LTA reject the main gate, I don't have any black and white.

for mine, only 1 white block in mbr shower cubicle. none in the common toilet.

Why can't we write a petition to HH with all our concerns and cc lta.. Let the 2 fight and we wait and see. Best cc our mp in our estate..

[jasonetee]

the answer is no and no.

Huh? So all the points I see in the living room and bed rooms are not data points?

[jasonetee]

Why can't we write a petition to HH with all our concerns and cc lta.. Let the 2 fight and we wait and see. Best cc our mp in our estate..

I can help to highlight to MP. So we need the petition first.

[V@Eowner]

I can help to highlight to MP. So we need the petition first.

I do not think it will be productive to involve an MP and LTA has already stated they are not involved. Looks like its between owners and HH.

Today the guards sit outside. When it starts raining ......

I don't think it has to do with the transponder too as alluded to by a former earlier. We just need a barrier at the entrance and the current barrier system inside the car park should still stay though it will be better to locate it at the car park entrance below the V@E sign.

If the ingress and egress barriers are fitted close enough, it will also prevent people from walking in away from the guardroom.

Anyone knows who/how to contact HH about this? I don't know how this works but can we not accept the completion of the development (until the security matter is satisfactorily resolved)?

I had highlighted to my lawyers who handled the purchase but they had not gotten back to us also. Take our money and run liao.

May I know in the kitchen, who has listed the space (sides stuffed with plywood leaving a huge space for insects in the middle) under the oven as a defect and have got it rectified?

Thanks!

[blade_kap]

If you can provide a link to the pic, I can help you insert here.

Thank you for your kindness. let me try one more time.
Is below considered a defect?

[mshlin]

I think it's not a defect. the hole on the sliding rail is to drain water, so the outside tile has to be like that for water flow.

Its the final defect that was rectified on 4th March for me. But they did not do a good job. In the end, I bought my own and DIY to touch up the remaining loss ends because if I wait for them, it will delay my renovation.

[Francis Woo]

If you are referring to the water outlet, it's not! However, the workmanship on the left side edge between the vertical and horizontal threads is definitely not acceptable and has to be reworked. Definitely a defect!

Thank you both! Looking forward to meeting your guys around.

We visited our unit today. Had the joint defect inspection exactly 2 weeks ago. Only very few minor things done so far.

We arrived in the morning and were a bit shocked to find our door closed and unlocked! But shortly after, one of the (managers?) from the building office (malaysian chinese I think) who assisted in our joint inspection came by and said don't worry his workers are in and out today. hmm..

Any way, we inquired about the tiles (we have one of the lucky units where the color of some of the tiles DON'T match the others!)

We told him we just want it all replaced. He said, no, they can't do that, but the tile guys are coming on Tuesday, and what they'll do is put on a new sealant (i think), and repolish, and that will fix the color issue (along with the other blemishes). He said it worked well for other units.

I am skeptical. Anyone else have experience here?

a unit on my floor had all their tiles hacked n replaced

i am lucky to have only a tile w a couple blue stains and they say they will not replace the tile but will rectify w chemical. a fren in tile biz told me this is possible but will take hrs to lighten the stains only. my reno contractor told me dat replacing e tile will take only 2 hrs but then cannot guarantee same tone

this is probably the best solution maybe but will take more time. so depends on what you want and what you can live with
