hmm.. my blk is at 9th floor nw.. bt the blk nearer to the pri sch is juz at 2nd or 3rd floor leh.. wondering why tat blk is so slow leh...
Champions Court @ Woodlands - BTO
- Thread starter alicia_yong
- Start date
start slow loh. lack of manpower or lack of machines i guess.
i just went back to see the MyHDB page and realised their promised completion is End 2012.
Just wondering, if receive in mid 2012, how long will you all think your reno is gonna take before you move in?
my guess is probably around 2 mths for minor reno. Since we live in the internet age, how many of you are also thinking of doing proper wired networks within your homes?
Feeling the financial strain now actually and also the thoughts of steep learning curves in terms of getting the house ready for moving in.

hi all, i'll try to take photos this weekend if weather and time permits.
CH> How's your wedding prep coming along?
I'm looking around for photographer and videographer now for AD. these few weeks going to select liao.
Ask you all something. Sorry ar, say first that I am lazy to go research on this. For wedding bands, do you all have any place to recommend for those simple design with no diamonds for both?
We have a "no-diamonds" policy for the wedding but when we went to citigems and look see look see, the normal pair will have diamonds for the lady and if opt to go "diamondless", have to take the man's ring and that will jack up the price. Which is ridiculous IMO although the argument was that the rings come in pairs, if sell individually, it is not a practice. And the men's ring is "thicker", thus more expensive.

me was flipping thru a brocher given by citigems.. saw tat they hv both simple rings leh.. no diamonds 1.. gota search many places slowly...
tat time when we got ours.. we too been to quite afew shops to lok for it..coz my hb wants identical bands.. both with diamonds.. hving some prob that time..coz some with diamonds 1 for ladies band, dun look good for him (abit niang niang).. then those look good on him, may nt look good on me.. hving some hard time before settling for our pair of identical wedding bands..

CH> Thanks for the advice. I think maybe Causeway pt's citigems is a bit too small and the sales person dun really know also.
We asked for recommendations and she was unable to help. Guess need to window shop again. WTB somehow find it troublesome.
Read up a bit abt some places that does customized bands like Fairy Inc and Far East Gem & Jewellery ( a recommendation by friend). Maybe will go there to check out.
What u learning abt wine? can share? Most of the time at wedding, i quite scared to drink their wine. Got the siap siap taste.
Alicia> Thanks for sharing. Also thinking to check out Meyson.
Woodlands these days dunno why keep raining. hard to take photos.
Ah Kiam> our place reach lvl 4 or 5 IIRC. Very fast liao!

hey tink those blocks nearer the pri sch there v slow.. juz 3rd or 4th floor only.. mine doing lvl 10 liao.. haa.. so hapi.. 6 mre storey.. haha.. omg..!! im getting excited liao..haha..
me read alittle on wine thingy.. me nv like red wine, coz got those siap siap taste lor.. tats y i hv no interest in 'learning' mre abt it.. bt this time, diff, gota get it for our wedding, so gota knw lor.hehe..

oops just reread my post and realised it was incomplete.
i wanted the say for red wine, there are some that is well, not "siap siap" and can go well with banquet food. (Wedding banquet generally only have white meat like fish and chicken. if duck is served, some pple might like other type of red wines since there are a lot of them out there.)
I need to start wine hunting as well to look for those priced not more than $25 a bottle. They do exist but have to so call "invest" by buying a bottle to try before making a bulk purchase.
Buying wine can be quite a headache. Good ones will always run low on stock and will never know when will new stocks come in, based on my past experiences dealing with wine shops.

Another latest update... my blk nw at 15th Floor le.. as predicted, seems like 2 wks, they manage to complete 1 level.. hmm.. seems like in another 2wks time, they will complete my blk le.. yippee.. !!
lol and then you got no more exciting updates until the rest are finished with the structure building.
The structure building is the most exciting part.
The rest will be not so exciting, like doing the interior (can't see much), painting the block and putting up the windows.
Last step that will be the most exciting is seeing them take down the scaffolding!

i kiasu mah... lol
bed hunting because need to get a bed prior to wedding day for an chuan, plus recently i saw Robinsons having private sale and the price seems attractive for the mattresses, so just suddenly pop and ask this question.
IIRC, the measurement for 4 rm master bedroom is around 3 m by 4.2 m only.
So confirm wardrobe need to do sliding door + maybe build-in a "dressing table" in the wardrobe.
It is unlike older flats, the Masterbedroom is big enough for you to put a king size bed, wardrobe, dressing table and a baby cot if you want.
