Champions Court @ Woodlands - BTO

its my 6th balloting alrdy!! so upset!

but congrats to alicia, ryan and other who got it!!!

that be a nice plc!! i like the layout so much
 


grace> Congrats to u tat u got a gd q no. too! =)

Dun need to envy us de lah, coz it's all abt luck. Wen i applied for DS, my q no. oso super sianz, mayb the next 1 will be beta? Actually i was jus telling my hubby yest nite tat if our q no. for CC is as lousy as DS, den we will haf to take up resale flat le, coz dun 1 2 keep on waiting for the new ones.
 
Xiaoyan, don't be disheartened. there might be better BTOs coming up this year.

As prices continue to dip, you might be able to get a better choice in this year and the next.
 
Grace> Oh... Tis is different from the DS one. For the DS one, i will get to noe the appt date & time even tho my q no. is almost twice the no. of available flats.
 
Grace> Ya lor... I remb for DS de, it shows the appt date & time. Tis one dun haf. Wen i log in, i can still see the message for DS de der.
 
oic...tat means hdb will send letter to those within their q no range on the appt date and time? tat means delay to select flat? haiz...
 
Garce> I oso not sure, but it states there tat "you will receive a letter from us inviting you to select a flat in May/Jun, detailed info available for booking will also be given to you nearer the selection date."
 
my queue is 00592.. hais.. disapointed again

valerie, dun be...it seems tat HDB going to launch more BTOs tis yr if the early yr ones r fully taken up...

alicia, tell u sth stupid...now tat i get gd q no for champion court and waiting for the brochure n all...HDB sent the brochure for Dew Spring, asking us to go select in end may...:S
 
wah, now DS only left 2nd to 4th floor max...somemore, those blks with morning sun alrd fully taken up and my q no for Champion Court is 151...doesn't make sense to go for the DS selection...

anyhow, we did try for the April ballot also...cos our main intention is actually to get 5 rm instead of 4 rm...so i guess have to see how it goes...cos v dilemma now...have to wait and see wat appt date is given for Champion Court liao
 
Grace> Haha! Ya, i tink cc stands a beta chance for u, coz wif ur q no., there's bound to be units higher than #04. So haf u start shortlisting ur units for cc le?
 
still looking with hb...over the wkend we went to check out the plot of land....seems tat most part of the land kena afternoon sun....

anyway, the area also like quite congested...frm the main road, on the right hand side is Innova college..on the left hand side is Innova pri sch...behind is another plot of land where currently HDB is building 500 units (but it's 2 blocks of 11 storey flats)...

wat abt u? shortlisted any? u getting 4 rm ones rite?
 
Grace> I've roughly looked at the plans online, sort of decided wich r the ones i like, but haven discuss wif hubby yet. Still awaiting the brochure den will discuss wif him & MIL bah...
 
grace>
you have to take into consideration of the windows directions. I don't think a lot of units will get the afternoon sun.

I have checked it against the h88.com.sg's analysis. They are quite accurate in terms on the morning or afternoon sun for bedroom. As for living room, it will be up to individual to do more indepth studies.

I also did site survey during the weekend.

The plot of land seems small to construct the MSCP, facilities and 7 blocks of flats. Maybe some of them only consist of SA and 3-Rooms, so it might be a smaller block.

It probably makes me feel the blocks will be pretty near each other.

There are a few factors about the block of flats. They are all very near activities areas of the surrounding school. blocks near Innova Pri will be experiencing the morning assembly and afternoon assembly's noises since it faces the assemly area for the school.

Potentially PE lessons and CCA activities noises if they use the assembly area for these activities.

For those near to innova JC, the tennis court is there and i think it is pretty near another sports activities area. could be the JC's field or something.

Those along Woodlands Ave 1 will be near Evergreen Pri's backyard where they have most of their PE activities and possibly CCA.

Left with one corner which is situated at the woodlands Ave 1 and Champions Way junction.

Well, the eating house and supermarket is there. I guess it speaks a lot for itself. Technically eating house is like 24 hours operations these days.

Thus, this whole area is going to face some noise at particular time of the day. no 4 to 5 rooms units are spared. maybe only 3 rooms and SA have a slightly better position, but your opposite block neighbours will have a clear view of your place for those situated facing the current ongoing new blocks.

I didn't see the layout of the other project that is already halfway there, so this is a wild guess.

This is my own analysis. I concluded that there are pros and cons. So it depends largely on your own preferences to make the right choice.
 
Ryan> Wah... Thanks for ur analysis. So u've shortlisted ur units le? Tink wif ur q no. most of the units will be avail for ur selection. Even tho my q no. is within the 100%, but i guess i wont b able to select 1 wich is my 1st choice.
 
Alicia>
Yeap. Shortlisted and ranked according to our requirements.

Hopefully it will be the case. If the queue number is a mixture of SA, 3 to 5 room applicants, should have a good chance to get the shortlisted units.

if not, have to settle for a less than perfect choice.
 
oic...Alicia, my ROM over liao...AD in sept tis yr...

yeah, i called HDB...they confirmed tat if u booked ur application for 4 rm then ur q no is for the 4 rm q...meaning tat studio, 3, 4 and 5 rm r all diff queues...

oic, ryan...didn't realise tat...have to re-study it again...thks
happy.gif
 
so far so good...since it's 4 mths away to AD...now tat HDB come in between, headache man...well, see how bah...if get then good...if not, after wedding then try again bah...cos we dun intend to sell it after 5 yrs so have to choose really carefully
 
hahhaa...no lah, i dun mean the otherwise...i just meant it for myself...cos we really hate the hassle so just 1 time flat is the thing...

tat's y have to look carefully at the sun direction n all...at tis point of time of selection, we can more or less gauge...only when the house is finally built, then it would be more obvious
 
seriously wonder when hdb will issue us the appt date and time and brochure...

i tik tis is the first time hdb doing tis for BTO cases where they will just give u the q no instead of everything together...even my gf who took Jade Spring also had everything together...dunno y leh...
 
Grace> I oso not sure... puzzling lor. According to the online brochure, the 1 we looked at b4 we decide to apply, it states there tat selection will start in may, but wen i check my q no. tat time, it states there tat "You will receive a letter from us inviting you to select a flat in may/june 2009".
 
haiz...dunno y like tat...bet even if u ask hdb, they won't tell y...must be some internal decision thingy...

anyway, if tat's the case, i do presume tat it would be late may for selection since it's going to spread over to june as indicated 'may/june'...of cos, tat's just my presumption...

i'm just wondering abt tat cos we also simultaneously tried for the april half yearly ballot...so i guess maybe tat appt date might be either same time or earlier than tis one...
 
yeah...april ballot results out next wed...but it seems tat tis kind of ballot v fast get appt date and time....anyhow, got to cross fingers and see wat happens...

haiz, in s'pore dunno y so hard to find flat...macham whole s'pore apply for flat at same time
 
for the april ballot, diff frm the usual kind...u just throw in ur application...when u get q no then u choose ur area and what kind of flat u want to apply for...

so nope, we didn't apply for any area in specific n neither did we apply for any kind of flat in specific
 
Grace> Oh! like tat de ah... I din noe. So once u got ur ballot results liao, den u need to shortlist units le rite? So where r u looking at?
 
i guess near my parents' area at sbw bah...but we also willing to consider other areas if they r available...have to see the criteria and also, if within distance of transport modes...

hahaha...so wat abt u guys? just DS and Chamption Court? u tried the April ballot too?
 
Grace> Nope, nv try the apr ballot, coz i always tot u gotta apply for a specific unit from the list, so we din apply. haha! Ya, so far onli DS & CC. =) Guess mite stop at CC afterall. =)
 
yeah...it seems tat recent half yr ballot tat my gf tried before tis april also need to indicate clearly...but dunno y tis one seems to revert back to previous ballots...

yeah...ur q no for CC is pretty gd so dun have to tik much liao
happy.gif
btw, u stay ard woodlands or ?
 
Grace> Ic... I've nv tried applying for these half-yrly ballots, so din noe wat to expect. I hope i still able to get a gd unit of our choice for CC. I'm currently staying at bt panjang, after AD next yr will be moving in to hubby's flat at bedok to stay wif MIL oso. SIL will be moving away to sembawang tis sept after her AD, SIL's new flat applied is Jade Spring @ Yishun, hence we applied for DS, so tat SIL can visit MIL & yishun is still not as far for me to visit my parents. Once we get our new flat after 3-4 yrs' time, MIL will be moving in wif us too, so most prob will rent out her bedok flat.
 
Grace> Yup, we sort of plan it on the area, tat's y for BTO launch at sengkang/punggol, we din even bother abt it. Coz the main ting is convenience for all of us, be it for SIL to visit MIL or me to visit parents, i made it very clear to hubby in the beginning tat we will haf to look at flats ard nth to west area, coz he's too used to living in bedok, hence wen we tok abt tis, he was quite reluctant abt it, but eventually he still go along wif the idea. Coz my parents onli got me & my older sis, & my older sis getting married tis oct & after her AD, she'll be flying to dubai wif her husband for at least a yr or 2 there as her husband is working there, so i told hubby tat bcoz i'll be the onli 1 left in sg to take care of my parents, hence we gotta really tink abt the new flat areas. And i've alr warned him tat i'll need to visit my parents more frequently. Luckily he's fine wif the ideas & said will leave it all to me. =) Phew!

Ladies,

Hee, actually i am staying beside this project now. We applied for 5 room flat. This is the first time i ever get a ballot number.
