Balloting Exercise July - Jurong West


just checked My HDB.. nothing in there yet. think go by queue number bah..
my HLE haven even approve yet..haha.

any idea if we can delay uh? but before the option expires lah..
 
My queue number is 300++. I called HDB on Tue and was told tt they send HLE application for processing batch by batch. Mine application is still with Sale Dept. Hopefully can get my key soon.
 
Hi Valerie,

My appt on next Thursday at 1.10pm. My block is 677A. We called the officer yesterday and she gave us the good news. I was jumping up and down for joy.

Just checked the calendar and seems like Thursday is a good day to go open house.. so will probably do that after getting our keys... my aunt and dad says must do a lot of things before opening door... sometime about rolling oranges to all 4 corners of the house... distribute salt and rice around the house??!!

We have been shopping around for IDs. So finally settled our ID.

Hopefully can start work soon.

Anybody has any recommendations on which kitchen appliance brand to get? We are thinking of Ariston... but there are some pretty bad comments about the product elsewhere in the forum...

I have 3 wedding dinner for Nov and Dec.
End of the year is a real HOT date!

ryan.. which area u eyeing? when's your appointment?
 
I still have not decided if to take the corner slant unit, or the corridor slant unit.

I think the biggest flaw of the corridor unit is that it had window by the corridor. However the corner unit layout are harder to design and put your furnitures and i hate the small jail-like window.

What do you guys think?
 
Yvonne,

My appointment is 10.15am on Tuesday. I think most likely i will end up at 678C. I also thinking about 677A but i didn't really like that side. I wanted the square units but the best out there are 4th floor left. Too low isn't it?

Those blocks by the temple i heard fengshui not very good, although unblocked.
 
yvonne,

me roming on 1st Jan! haven settled anything yet except venue!! how much time is needed to settle everything? cos i'm only free in dec. tink will be very rush.

Lin
 
Lin, I gotten my Dress MTM, so takes about 6 to 8 weeks. If u getting it off the rack then no issue. Also do look out for shoes too..
Found your MUA? Where u holding it?
 
Amphitheatre is not for wedding and funeral leh,it is OPEN & not sheltered, think is more for sports matches and for spectators to sit and watch. It is in front of 675B and 676B.

Weddings and funerals will be held at the precinct pavilion which is sheltered and in front of 678A.

I done site survery there so i know. THe playground is in front of 678C and the last I saw it is rusty and old. The entire interior of the estate is unkempt. Hope they do something abt it.
 
Hmmm.. i have a question.

Anyone know when will the option fee of 2k be refunded? and will it be in cheq or credit into your account?
 
xesthir, i've got a friend staying at near the block 680plus estate and they say the amphitheathre is sometmes been used for wakes and malay weddings. not too sure abt the precinct pavallion thou.

strange, i tot you were the one asking abt the use of the ampitheathre? seems like u know more leh
 
yvonne

i had 3 weddings last mth.. broke le. jan got more.. at least 3-5. so where is ur rom venue? ya xmas sale is gd! but a lot of ppl also.. trying of clothes take time.

the 2k will be refunded when we take keys. not sure will be in cheque or wad leh..
 
Haha coz i think dun look like hold wedding/funerals leh coz is open area.. got spectator seats. but is also too small to hold any sports game. haha. i am not sure the usage of hdb estate new stuff. coz my mum stay in old estate, funeral/wedding hold at void deck. haha. i mean i think i am quite sure not for funeral.wedding lah.. :P i asking to see if u folks got better idea..
 
hi yvonne,

i have sign up with a Bridal Studio liao but I dun quite like the tea-dress they have for ROM so tinking of getting it from elsewhere but haven decide. so shoes cant buy yet cos i duno wat's the colour of my dress. MUA will be from the BS. me holding at Yum Cha so only left invitation cards, dress, shoes and HTB's things. anything i left out? rings i got it 1 mth ago. luckily, if not really panic now.

Lin

Lin
 
Hi Lin,
Hahaha....dun tell me we share the same profession?? Do u have to deal wif youngsters? :p
Are u the one who selected blk 182? Until now, i still haven't seen anyone who stays the same blk 178 as me. My hubby and I hav been putting so much attention on new house, that we already put our customary wedding preparations on hold, so many exciting things coming up, that we nearly forgot abt other things. haha
 
the latest we heard from HDB is that our block is still undergoing touchup.

when we enquire abt the 2nd appointment dates, the officer explained to us that it's based on the completion of the unit by hdb's contractors. Touchup, painting, etc. not necessary by queue number or first appointment date.
 
yvonne, is it? i long time nv visit tt thread liao cos i glued my eyes on this thread and the hdb website these few weeks. haha...

lavendar, tink we share the same profession just tt mine is younger! ya, i selected blk 182. few ppl in this thread select YS tt's why hard to find kaki. hee... my ROM in less than 2 months but i'm concentrating on reno now even thou i'll start reno only aft CNY.

Lin
 
Hi Lin,
hey, we deal wif the same pple. But mine is 11-12 yrs old...so same same!! Hey, its good to find another same kaki staying at YS. Care to share ur workplace? U can PM me

Lavender
 
ah sy chen..
that's comforting to know! haha.. means i won't get my keys so soon.. =)
i think those who wanna get the keys soon are going to kill me.. =.=
 
whyme

i forced my SO to called up our HDB officer but she was not picking up the calls. So my SO called up hdb hotline and enquired abt the 2nd appointment date.

was told 678A's keys was just handed over to HDB last week.

HDB didn't tell him the date. just probably end nov early dec
 
yvonne.. morning need to sleep ar... hahaha. but i guess to really beat the crowd.. must go earli. nv tried tat b4 though hehe.

urs is st 64 also? u planning ur reno after getting keys ma?
 
Hi fellow westies,
