thanks for the pics! Were you in the mid of the plot????
Thought I saw a lady rejoicing! Really wonder which blocks will be built first
Entrance for the construction is ard Blk 591A or 591B ya?
TB contruction is building for Punggol Lodge now and looking at their thread, their progress seems very fast. their digging started about July08 and now at OCt09, about 12 levels now and the forum ppl said that TB is handing over the project end of this yr or in jan10, thought it is pretty fast
Dreamy>> Thanks for the wonderful pics.. yah, me too think tat the blocks near the pri sch will b up 1st.fm the way we see it nw..
babysummer>> wow, hope our CC will b tat fast too.. TB hand ov the project meaning they will complete by Jan10?? bt think TB is mainly on the constructing of the building only rite.. still got those interior thingy lor.. and electrical things.. bt still consider fast lor.. juz 1 and 1/2 yr to build the whole building... mayb interior give them another 1yr time bah.. so 2 n 1/2 yr time to compete everything..
hahaha btw understand from my bf.. Now they are still in the midst of testing and evaluate the ground. Once we see the giant cube or square stone being stack up, we are about to see them pounding the ground. And the lego will start connecting.. nw all of us already so excited. I wondered how we will react when we see each other blk are being built.
lol, somehow find it hard to remember the new blk number, blame it on rising age
dreamy
I do see some big square stones though not a whole lot of them. Some of my neigboring units are selling off their units as their good view will be blocked. Thankfully we did not get those units last time hee.
babysummer>> so u r currently staying v near CC huh.. wow.. so good..envy u.. staying so near to ur parents hm... so u really see some big stones in CC liao huh..
yah, they say once the big stones come in.. that means the blk gona b up liao..
Currently my unit is a design and build too, from what you can see in the pics here, just opposite CC. I am oso staying at the top floor currently and my ceiling is very very high. Resale flat. Hopefully i can fetch a gd price when CC is ready. Ya, the blocks were there but not many.
babysummer> Wow! Design & build flat muz be very nice. =) SO do u experience any water leakage & power trip in ur current flat?
CH> I tink wen it's time for us to collect keys liao, we'll be too excited & mayb some agony coz dunno whose unit/blk will start collecting keys 1st.. =P

No water leakage and in fact my flat is pretty windy and we have full glass windows for living rooms compared to CC. The estate is about 12 years but still very well maintained. We were deciding CC or another resale 5room ( 125 sq m) in our estate( currently mine is 4 room with 106 sq metres).
The ironical part is that we have to pay hdb abt 45k cash for resale levy when the keys are ready for CC....hiaz. Hopefully i can have higher cos when i sell off here. Maybe by then , they will take out this resale levy thingy, dreamzzzzzz.
For CC, from the brochures pics and hdb models , one of the bedrooms will be standard windows compared to 3/4 windows. But the layout on brochure indicates all will be 3/4 windows. I asked the hdb officer and she told me all windows will be 3/4 .
babysummer> Oh, tat's gd, no leakage & watsoever. Den y u want to buy CC if gotta pay such high levy? Bcoz it's new? But nowadays new flat size so small, compare CC onli internal 90sqm, ur current 1 still got 106sqm leh.. And the other 5-room so big! Ya, i realise from the pics is 1 room will be standard window, but i din ask the officer abt it. If it's all 3/4 den gd!
i also notice the models at hdb display for CC and the papers given to us also says that 1 room will b norm standard windows.. well.. if is also 3/4 window.. is good too..hehe..
wow, ur current estate 4 room so big.. got 106.. yah, then y u wana take CC.. 5 room only 110.. and 4 room only 90.. v small compare to old ones.. n ur resale 5room is 125.. tats v big...
we dun hv so much hard cash.. and rather throw those hard cash for reno.. else, will surely go for resale coz the sq area is bigger...
nvm lah.. be contented with wat we hv.. hving faith in CC..haha..
alicia and ch
my current one is 4 room at 106 sq metre and cos i did major reno last time, so people alway mistook my 4 room looks like executive flat!. I took CC becos i want a good view. Pray hard that it will be unblocked. So fari heard that the plan is to build a community centre at the plot of land beside innova pri sch. Not easy to find a flat in woodlands here with full glass/3/4 windows with good view cos some areas have higher chances of high buildings so we decided to give CC a go and it is new
haha.. yah..i also agree with ah kiam.. no smell impt..
babysummer>> actually woodlands do hv some blks with good view and full windows.. those area near admiralty.. blk 690.. those blks there hv super good view, airy and full windows.. their 5 rooms rather similar to ours in CC... my sis hse is there.. their view is even mre nicer.. in front of her hse can c Ave 12.. and a big patch of grass, empty space infront of her unit..
The 69X series indeed have very good view but their layout is not nice wo, slanted weird shapes, main flat door facing staircase(some) and my usual hse agent also commented that our ceuurent place is much better in all ways, so dun waste money to upgrade to those with another 4sqm after doing those viewings. That is the only series with higher floors in woodlands if I am not wrong. We went to see abt 20 units of resale 5 rooms and valuation is about $350k ( this year feb/mar09) for high floors that we want and only 110sqm too. The view super good too but the empty plot of land is more threatening than CC cos of further developments. No primary school and mall nearby! And COV is an average of $15- 20k. HB and I discussed and thought having a new lease of 99 years ( next time my gal can stay) , newer buildings and pay $295k plus $45kcash = $350k) is more worthwhile to buy those series. Also of all woodlands areas, I really like our vicinity after shifting from another 2 parts of woodlands for more than 20 over years.
My current neighbour told me not much difference staying near chute area. For me, my unit is not beside chute but I can also smell from the next estate which is a distance when they are cleaning in the morning due to the wind.
But okie la, I can just close the windows at the service if it is smelly. But i will definitely not choose if i only had lower floors to choose.
By the time we move in, my gal should be going to P1 and I just have to cross the road in the morning then quickly run back to go and sleep till 11am again haha.
yah.. me agree with babysummer.. my sis hse only nearby marketing plc is admiralty mrt statn.. which is like 3 traffic lights away..nt convenient..
at least our CC will b hving a supermart at our estate..
actually me also wori if infront of my hse hv a plot of grass.. bt my sis 1 for sure wouldnt build things 1..coz tat grass cannot build things 1.. according to law..
alicia
I dun do marketing every day. Usually once weekly so that hb can lug everything back home. There is only morning session at innova pri which is good, compared to other schools ard CC.
CH
Which blk are you? are you referring to the odd shape hill in front of Sports school? I am only worried about this odd-shaped hill cos 591B should be overlooking innova pri , odd-shaped plot hill and sports school Not all fenced up yet. Abt 90% fenced. The big block stones I saw were used to put big tanks and cylinder. They are still digging. More workers today.
No babysummer i think u have more updates than me coz u stay nearby mah, im in the west and got to look after my kids...... By the way y u repeat typing 591B again hahahaha very cute of u.
kiam
wow congrats!!!!! the goverment loves you ley haha. If I ever have no.2, unlikely, sure i need a helper before i go insane to juggle between kids and chores
kiam
i have problems conceiving and our precious gal is thru IVF and i was lucky to succeed. Tried for no.2 using my remaining eggs last year but it failed halfway
Most likely dun want to try cos i am sick of all the jabs hee.
babysummer> Oic.. Hahaha! but i tink i saw the news last time, MOE says they r trying to haf single sessions for all sch, therefore now quite a no. of schs r expanding. =)
