Balloting Exercise July - Jurong West


hi hi val, raining on sat, no sun... cannot go in also.. saw a couple passing by, r u wearing red ear rings? tmr is ur day, think u must be very nervous..

hi whyme, around half of 988 will get afternoon sun from what we see.. maybe u can go down and take a better look in the afternoon..
 
yup eileen i wore red earrings haha. u saw me? which is u? i saw 2 couples there. ya lor raining.. we waiting since 3 + at the coffeeshop. so sian.

yea v nervous.. worried i make wrong decision. still debating which units to make my list. jialat manz. haha.
 
we went to the deco fair at expo over the weekend just to see see look look.

our queue number not bad( 220ish ). planning to get block 677A/C/B.

our choices :

677A unit 273 and 275. becasue these 2 have bigger windows for the bed rooms and they have a 'fattier' living room. but parents are agaist these units as the main door faces the west ( gui Xi )

677B unit 299 and 301. square square ones are better to design and have a bigger living room windows.

677C unit 283 and 281. because they have 'fattier' living room.

Actually my HTB quite dislike slanted units but i can accept. a colleague of mine stays at BP also has a slanted living room which i think his ID did a very good job in bring out the spacious feel of his house. the slanted areas were break out using half height storage cabinets which double as seats.



i prefer the living room to be shorter but wider rather than longer but slimmer.
 
hi val, we r at the cluster next to it ard 5+, i think you didnt see me as we jux drove passed as cant go in.. jux happened to see a lady wearing red earings, wonder whether it's u...... ;p

dont worry lah, i think u hv done enough research, relax ;p

i think from this sat findings, i gets to see how the windows is like... at least there is some full height ones... not so bad lor.....
 
just a note to those who believes in Feng Shui, do take note of the direction of the main door when coming out. Try to avoid the west-side facing. Cause everytime step out of house means Gui Xi which means die...


try to break out the living area and dinning are into 2 portion cause older people believe a long and straight dinnig and living area looks like a coffin.

anyway it also depends on your individual beliefs. some culture believe coffin means "Sheng Guan Fa Cai" promotion and wealth. some see it as a bad omen.

hi eileen, the full height ones are actually 50cm from the flooring according to the brochure. So u have seen them on site!~!~!~ how do they look? do they look small?
still offers a fantastic view thou.
 
hi eileen..

too bad didn get to see u if not we can chat abt the flats n yan jiu together haha. ya its still closed.. we walked 1 round trying to find somewhre to go in but cant. yup the hall ones are 3/4 height. not full height though i wish too! haha :P
 
hi hi ^u^ may i join your discussion too ? i'm planning to get st 64 too.

wow you ladies here are indeed hardworking ! can share some tots u have post survey?

thanks in advance
 
hi jan, not too wide, but still acceptable as compared to st93 slant unit.. the view sld be quite ok but must depends on where you face.. if it's inside, basically is the park view..

tks for e fengshui advise..

val, the windows are still acceptable to me, or maybe you can design a platform/ cushion bench beside the window so that when you sit down can look at outside scene..
 
hi sammi

sure u may join us

hi jan chen

unit 273 not so gui xi as its sloping downwards towards SW so u might wan to choose 273 compared to 275.

there are many more such units, u might wan to choose other blocks lor.. like wad u mentioned..677C unit 283 and 281.
 
Hi Ladies

I'll also went for site recees on Sat. Didn't get to see St64 as it was raining and we couldn't get in. So may i know y u gals prefer st64 then st93?

Thanks ya!!
 
hi valerie

yah you're rite ^u^

save money on food, save the washing, the cooking

but the one bad thing is too near to them. they come by also easier.

do u peeps practise giving a set of the keys to the in laws?
 
Hi ms blur,

St 64 is nearer to Jurong Point. It is already developed area and no banga dom around that area lo. Even if some of the units are slanted, we can get a good ID and try to hide. That's my reason for choosing St 64.
 
hi ms blur

many people feel the presence of the foreign workers there freaks them out but honestly i would say the mani reason why we avoid there is the amount of light shining thru from the stadium at night.

other than this, the area is actually quite cozy. and less packed per floor ( 4 units as compared to 8 units for st 64 )
 
hi sammi, think the stadium light doesnt affected the units on the right side of the cluster which is wat's offered tis round ;p
 
hi sammi

most ppl i noe do not give a set of keys to the inlaws.. juz get them to call when they wanna come over then arrange to be at home lor.

does ur inlaws wan the keys?

hi ms blur.. yup.. st 64 is nearer to JP and more residential areas.. more developed. feel more secure there :D
 
my brother do give my parents a spare key
coz my sis always go over to their house..

i think it's okie for them to have a spare key. That time when they are doing renovation, my mum actually help to go there and supervise the workers like when the contractors come to do the gas and etc...

for emergency purpose.
 
oh man.. we spent like 1 hr plus yesterday studying the brochure and everything..and we still cannot decide which block to take at st93!

faints!

val..must share your experience tmr ok? haha.
so exciting!

but i've got no potential neighbours here! =(
 
whyme.. sure.. will share tmr nite hehe. how i wish my date is not so fast. got more time to tink. now less than 24hrs!
sad.gif


i tink neighbours will come soon.. maybe they hv not found this thread yet haha
 
Hi Val,

You can't be wrong with current decision la. A lot of ppl are wishing to get early Q no and some are just plain frustrated for higher Q and worry that their dream flat kena booked by early Q ppl.

As for your case, though less than 24 hr, you'can choose what you want lo.
 
hi cutie

i don mean wrong with which unit to choose but whether to move out o not as i prefer to stay with/near my family.

been tinking abt this for quite some time.. v sian abt it.

its ok.. after tmr all decision shd be made le
 
hi val, when r u getting married? can understand how u feel cos I went through that b4, u will get used to it after some time and the flats are so near, can always pay a visit after work, go home for dinner or ur parents can also pop by over the weekend..;p

hi whyme, we may be neighbour.. though i prefer st64 but looking at it's popularity a lot may be gg for st64, so I may not get the units that I want.. in tt case will go for st93 ;p
 
Go with yr heart bah!

it's big decision. Think most of us will have a harm time thinking, especially when queue # are in the front.

Decide on the blk first -> Than narrow down to the units you want.

List down based on the floor you want and when you are there, just tell them yr choice
 
hi eileen

my AD is in may. 7mths more to stay w my family haha. popping by to sit n eat is diff from staying there. i noe its part n parcel but juz feel gloomy abt it. cant help feeling tat way
sad.gif


hi jan

its not the selection of unit tat is hard though tat is not easy too haha. haiz.
 
Haha i understand lah, usually for gers more attached with family.

I also told my SO that he can move in to my house after we married.

My colleague told me the first few days he stayed in his new house, he felt like crying. When his mum call and asked whether he had eaten and etc, he nearly burst out crying
 
val.. nvm about more time to think; i think you done enough research liao.. is about the rare opportunity to get your dream unit! =)

cutie, my number is 203. not bad a number bah. =)

eileen.. shall see how it goes bah. actually, some of the units at st64 are quite ok, bigger kitchen and master bedroom too, and it's 5 mins from my house.. but my bf doesnt really like it. haha. what a dilemma!

can anyone advise as to which kinda rooms that are connecting can be hacked down? i'm thinking of hacking down the walls between the master room and one of the bedrooms.. how to tell which units can be hacked, and which can't?
 
hi jan..wa seh guys also feel this way ar.. tink he must be v close to his mom too.

cutie.. tks
happy.gif


whyme.. duno y i don feel its my dream hse though i don dislike the flat. 5mins from ur hse! better get it la. if only my family is 5mins from my hse. haha.

u look at the layout.. those with thick black lines cannot be hacked. those with thin black line can be hacked. normally there's only 1 bedroom next/near to mbr so u can hack tat one. shd be hackable for most hses i saw
 
cutie.. your in-laws number is 195+? means.. when is their selection date?

val.. 5 mins seems good but my bf thinks it's too ulu, far from MRT also. my current house already 10-15 mins from MRT; from st.64, around 20-25 mins walk. if rain, sian also.

can't tell from layout leh..all the lines look the same.
can help?

st.93, blk 989D unit 665 and unit 655
one has the room directly mirror image with the next bedroom, the other one only has a bit of wall next to the bedroom..
are both units hackable? haha.
 
whyme, it's definitely less than 20-25 minutes walk..at most 10-15

the bad part is raining that time quite sian ..no shelter at all
 
jan.. my house is the pink flats.. opposite petrol station. walk fast already is 8-10 mins..
at st. 64, how to be 10-15 mins?
and yah.. no shelter at all man.

cutie..same!
mine is 24 Oct, 8.45am!
 
hi whyme

for unit 665 the wall btw the mbr and the bedroom right next to it can be hacked. u look at the top of the wall btw the 2 bedrooms.. got a thick black slab right? tt is the part which cannot be hacked. so if u wan hack the wall btw the 2 normal bedroom, then not the entire wall can be hacked.. left the black part cannot hack. this applies to all the black slabs in the layouts.

for unit 655 hack also not much use cos the joining area so small. then got a pillar there cannot hack.. so i not sure if it will affect part of the wall. the other unit is better if u wan hack wall to join the 2 rooms

i try walking from jurong point there a few times. I guess is the huge crowd around MRT during peak hours that might increase the time.

So far, the most i took is about 15 minutes. Cross the traffic light at John Little. Cut through the blk, cross the road and than cross the estate of 680.
 
yah i tried walking from jurong point to the new estate takes me abt 10-15 minutes.

actually we plan to seal the kitchen toilet door and hack a new one in the living room. i know it might sound stupid but at least i will have more space in the kitchen to make space for the laundry space.

but i heard these days the toilets are pre-fab and we are not allowed to hack them ( at least a min 2 years from lease? )

anyone can shed some light on this? Thanks in advance ^u^
 
whyme.. ya i walked a few times le leh.. its ard 10-15mins.. u walk zig zag under the flats ar? walk along the pink carpark road there.. straight road to JP..easier but no shelter la haha. i also complain abt tat but no choice :P
 
why me.. no prob. glad to be of help
happy.gif
u can use this to look at all the layouts n see wad u wan hack n wad u dont haha. i also played ard with this last time keke.even thot of hacking the 2 toilets into 1 big big one lolz.
 
i had also spoke to my colleague who's wife is a full time housing agent. According to her the resale rate for jurong west that area not fantastic for 5 roomers.

she also told me that opposite side where the temple is, they are planning to build a high rise estate there.

anyone heard of this too? ^u^
 

It's probably becoz of the construction going on..

hopefully the interchange will be ready soon.

at least alighting from MRT station and walk back home is easier. don't have to squeeze through the narrow walkway
