(Though mine also will gana, bt nt as direct as 572A)... so if there's taking b4 me, i wouldnt b able to get this unit.. should count my blessing..hehe.. :p

tat's it.. we print liao, then show the person who 'entertain' us while we choose our flat.. she says is the correct way..

think we took quite sometime inside tat's y mayb the selected unit remains unshown for quite sometime.. coz they verify quite a few things fm us, coz we apply under near parents hse lor.. bt 1 funny thing leh.. hw come there's no mre 40k grant for staying near parents hm?? thought there is??

we actually opt for the doors n flooring..hehe.. :p
 
oic.. we thought so long as stay near parents then hv liao..

ok.. nvm.. at least we FINALLY got our LOVE NEST... can finally says hi to my NEIGHBOURS liao..!! haha.. finally we are NEIGHBOURS liao.. hhaa..

so hapi today..
 
cecilia> Congrats!! =) Relieved le hor? No more monitoring of stock market liao. =P Ya, the 40K grant is for resale if stay near parents, if resale nv stay near parents is 30K grant.
 
oic.. so if our nxt hse is resale.. then can get 30k grant if din stay near parents.. n 40K grant if near parents.. hmm.. tat's good..haha.. :p

wow, today seems v quiet hor.. only Alicia come in to chat..hehe.. :p

cecilia> hahah! Ya lor, quiet 2day... The 30K/40K grant is onli for 1st timer who buy resale de. Once u buy resale (1st timer), wen the next time u buy a new hse, u need to pay a resale levy. I haven submit yet coz hubby haven pass me the form wich his boss need to fill in, sign & wif company chop. Wif tat form den we can submit the loan tings liao.

dreamy> Huh?! So fast start construction liao meh? Haven even finish selection, dun tink dey will so fast call for tender for construction leh...

cecilia> Ya, the $2k deposit paid can be taken back, but will be very long lor. We asked the officer tat day, she said abt 1-2mths after we were invited to sign agreement for lease. In hdb webby, it states tat hdb will invited us to sign agreement of lease not more than 4 mths after selection, but let's assume they took 4 mths to invite us to sign agreement for lease, so means by oct we shld be signing it, so 1-2 mths after oct, meaning by dec den we can get the $2k back. The money will be refunded back to the bank acc if u paid by cash/nets & they will gif a cheque if u paid by cheque.
 
oic.. so nw we are waiting for Oct for our nxt visit to hdb huh.. so there's 4 mre mths to go lor..hehe.. so b4 oct.. we will still receive a letter telling us if our hdb loan is being approve nt rite?? any mre visits to hdb bsides the signing agreement for lease??
 
cecilia> guess other than signing the lease, no need to go down liao. I guessed tat we wld be able to sign the lease latest in sept, coz tat time i ask the officer whether do we need to still apply for HLE coz HLE onli valid for 3 mths. She said no need to apply after this time, will need to apply again b4 we collect our key liao. Coz i was asking the officer wen is the best time to apply HLE so tat no need to re-apply again, coz she gave us the forms on the spot, but she said will gif us 2 wks to send in the HLE application & then wait for signing of lease but no need to reapply again.

dreamy> icic... den means our flat will be ready earlier liao lor! coz now den the senja green start to fence up the area.
 
good...construction means getting our flats sooner...i can't wait man....

the papers i submitted is for the AGH grant or sounds alike...see eligible for the grant anot one...is there another form?i hope i have done everything right...
 
Cecilia> cograts on getting the unit!

don't speculate too much bah.

actual construction work should be a different type of scaffolding.

I believe this one is just some normal construction work for the piping or drainage around that area. not 100% related to CC's construction bt possibly a requirementment for the project.

The rest of the area not cordoned off yet. so should not be that fast bah.
 
Thanks Ryan... im still so excited and hapi ov my selection.. me too see the construction thingy going on.. me tink might b someting to do with the buildings behind our estate.. dun think ours will starts so fast.. coz nw selections still gng on leh.. this wk last wk liao.. n for 3 rooms n SA.. hvnt even start yet..

funny leh.. my bf yest ask me.. hw come our area is call CC.. many ppl says our estate sounds like condo..hehe..special estate.. hehe.. coz we are all special..haha.. :p
 
gd mrng my champions, do our windows have grilles? i 4got to ask the officer, she said sliding windows. And does any1 know if the corridoor walls concrete throughout or else have opening in-between? i dont knw how to read the corridoor map. the black lines inicate the measurement or concrete walls?....
 
morning tweety. I think by default no grilles from what everyone who bought a new flat told me...the thick black lines indicate walls which cannot be break thru...the thinner lines are those which you can hack it.
 
cecilia> Tink our area called CC coz of 1 of the rd der calls Champions Way bah...

tweetygal> I tot all windows comes wif grilles? Sliding windows r where? All windows? I tink mayb living room & kitchen r casement windows.
 
yah.. me too think the name champion court comes with the road name nearby "Champion Way".. bt tats a nice name rite..haha.. :p

may our children all b champions..haha.. :p

our windows are sliding windows huh.. me thought those push oout type..
 
cecilia> Push out type tink r called casement windows. I prefer the sliding ones. =)

i was hoping got grilles but when i asked around, i was told no grilles, to give us the freedom to either have or not have grilles as some people don't like grilles..

Sliding maybe easier to clean ba...safer also...i went to see the site..the champion way that area...looks v nice...classy like that...nice environment...
 
i will call hdb and check regarding the window grilles...the hdb officer told me (on my appt date) that all windows (living room and bedrooms) are sliding windows not casement windows...will update you guys in a while...i hope the walls outside our main doors have opening and not concrete walls...at least have some breeze coming in ...
 
Hi Tweetygal.. so we are same blk neighbour..hehe.. :p

wonder who else same blk as us..hehe..

anyway, we prefer nt to hv any openings on the corridor side.. coz got mre privacy.. dun nid to hv ppl lok into my hse whenever they walk pass..

n worse if the opening / windows are low ones.. then cannot open the windows along the corridor area at nite..
 
all windows are sliding windows and cannot change to casement. If I not wrg, there is a document sent to us in the package, stating like no casement for window and approve window grilles for champions court.

Dreamy bf here
 
if only can hv optional items for window grills as well hw nice.. hehe..

then ppl can even opt for window grilles instead of juz doors n flooring tiles..hehe.. n all paid by cpf..hehe.. :p
 
dreamy bf> "approve window grilles" as in?

If the design have not much changes, I had been to an estate in punggol which have almost completely same block and apartment layout to CC.

tweetygirl> The walls at corridor areas are ledges, it will not be a full bottom to ceiling concrete wall. but i highly doubt that there will be wind channeled through the corridors area.

Based on the various block's layout for each storey, there seems to be no windows facing the corridor section. So there's no need to worry about privacy from the corridor side.

the area to worry about privacy is actually your neighbouring blocks.

Frankly speaking, the layout of CC only allows a few units at some blocks to have more privacy.

Those facing innova pri, innova JC (comes with west sun i think.), maybe some units from those facing Woodlands Ave 1 will have slightly more privacy than those facing the multistorey carpark, the "inner" side of the neighbourhood.

Your neighbours at opposite blocks can see you clearly with a telescope or binoculars.

some units like 4-room at 571B #916, your SA neighbours at the next block can see your bedroom from their service balcony.

the punggol estate seems very well spread out but then if your neighbours wanna peek at you, that is definitely possible. just a matter of whether they want to use binoculars/telescope or not.

Not forgetting DSLR is so cheap these those, they can buy one and use those super big zoom lens and see you in action if you never install curtains and draw them! lol

Sidetrack, some word of advice from a friend in the reno/interior design industry:

When doing your interior planning, people often forget about 1 pretty important element in SG.

That is the placement of water heater.

In the market, there are basically 3 types of water heater:
1. "Instant" type that have no storage tank. (Not a good choice IMO as water is not really that "hot".)
2. Electrical heating element type with storage tank. (this is a ver cost-inefficient type for your utility bills)
3. Gas-powered heater with storage tank. (low cost on utility but poses a danger point for gas leaks and such.)

Placement of the water heater is crucial for option 2 and 3 as they are relatively big and they are hot.

Take that into consideration when you are doing your interior planning. Most forgotten about this and caused quite a bit of hassle.

Another thing is that, it is good to spend a little bit more time to think about the kitchen's portion.

Kitchen is small for all of us here. Space maximization is the key. If you intend to maximize space, built-in cabinet is a good way to go as you can have them from floor to ceiling.

However they will be fixed and it will cost a fortune to redesign. Spend time to look around and find smart ideas from others. For instance, you might want to consider a drawer system to keep your plates and cups for easy access, rather than a door-type of cupboard.

it could also be used for your canned food and such. be creative and study your lifestyle habits to find the best customized option for you, since built-in gives you high capacity to customize.
 

Hdb should have given you all one paper printed with window grilles right ??? only those can be approve &amp; accepted by hdb
