Alex,
He got Migrain which happens to sudden, so no choice. He went to sleep hoping it'll be better but it got worst, so we have to go down ourselves. He did offer to ask a colleague to bring us down but he can't really promise if he can find one, so we went down alone lor. Well at least we took quite a number of samples back lar. Now is to look for other options. We prefer ceramic tiles with white base so at least chip won't be so bad. So he say white horse(brand from Malaysia) have this type of tiles. So he'll bring us there this sat at IMM. Hope this time, no more hiccups. Oh, he did offer to treat us Starbucks coffee as a form of compensation but i reject it. I'll prefer price be lower

Hi AhBur,
I have paid S$180.25/- for hualage of 5-rms. As for debris and permit fees, my ID settled it for FOC. Maybe already include into the package. I think your contractor should be able to know the cost or alternative request your contract to apply for you. Most ID/contractor settle this for customer. You can also call CCK town council to check out the fees.
There is one direct bus from CCKC to Yew Tee MRT. I think is bus no. 302.
Hi Meow,
Good Good, Ask him to give you lower cost for reno.

Alex,
So upset over the weekends leh...
I didn't really manage to find any nice ceramic tiles from white horse. Joseph brought us to other places to look for the tiles. Not really very fascinating too lor. But we still need to start work before chinese 7th month, so we need to buck up a little liao.
Ahblur,
I think the price is what alex has given you. Like you, i've not started my reno yet. Hubby ever check with Town Council and that piece of paper thats pasted at the front of the lift. Go take a look if its still there and jus give them a call to check the price. At least you know you won't be con by your ID.

Hi Meow,
Just a suggestion. Maybe you might want to consider other brands. Can also go to other shop or even to other ID from IMM or neighbourhood where they usually display tiles. Copy down their model number or take (digital pics). I think Joseph will be resourceful enough to find it lor.
Me too during that time start work before 7th month but allow the them to complete after 7th month.. They project 1.5months but I allow them up to 2 month to even finish the minor touch up.

Alex,
My home got 3 luo han fish too. If you wish them to change colour, put a background with the colour. My background was white but sand was pinkish red, so the fish turn a little pink. My hubby realise this at fish shop where they use dark red so that they can change colour. Dun know its a believe or pure luck but can try lor. But you must know how to see if its a male or female fish also. Some breed will never change colour one.

Hi Adam,
Your Kois must be big now. I guess you are using fish tank.
Hi Meow,
Jus clarification. Do you mean the background color will affect the color of the louhan? I think it is very difficult to tell whether if it is a male or female fish lor. Espceially my fish only less than 10cm.

Alex,
The shops normally sticks the colour paper at the bottom of the tank. Hence my fish also a little pink lor. Its up to you to believe or not. To deter the sex of the fish, look at their fin. Those on the top of their body, not side. If at front portion got a patch of black, then its female. Not patch will be male. That's what i know from my friend

hi to all the uncles and aunties of cck
very likely i will get a walk in at cck, close to yew tee. but why are there so many empty apartments? is it because buyers know something that my fiancee and i don't. i mean, five rooms for 180,000 is incredibly cheap, yet they are all vacant. you know lah, how we singaporeans buy things, we want cheap and fresh but if its cheap and no one buys, then alram starts going off
eh aunty angelia, what are your thoughts on this?
epsilon

Hi Epsilon,
Urrr... Not all are qualify for "uncle and aunties" yet leh...
Well... Singapore as we know is quite KS. Buying a flat is one of the big projects in life. Some are looking for location, this includes the house facing position, conveniences of the place, near relative, future resale values etc etc... As for CCKC, it has already went thru many rounds of selection (2 x WIS) and about 2 to 3 times direct booking scheme before WIS. Therefore left with the units that might not suitable for some. However if really were to spend effort to physically visit the remaining units in CCKC, you can see that some units is really not bad too.
For eg 692B, the remaining 9 units of 5rms from the recent WIS, is only mean for non Chinese and only 4th floor and below. Might have difficulty to find buyer since they have more choices like other area where there are more non Chinese population. Sometimes is not the price that matter. There are many reasons behind it. Especially now many of us are more economy cautious, we might have a career now to pay for the loans and it is not be guarantee for the next 15 to 20 years. This might be also being one of the reasons why the sales transaction for the flats is quite slow nowadays even the flat is cheaper.
Hope this helps.

Hi Alex,
Thanks !
Has been reading the archives of this thread (so many! only half way there ...) and can feel the warmth and friendliness of our neighbours.
I think most of u have lived in CCKC for almost a year.
Those past articles on reno issues and ID/contractors have been most useful, as I've just started looking for one .
Looking forward to my new home !

Hi Piggy,
Nono, the renovation permit the contractor will do it for us. But as for the haulage thing they want us to apply for it ourselves lor
Hi Alex,
Yeah, i will try to request my contractor to settle both the renovation permit and haulage things for us. Will definitely call Town Council up to check how much the price is to prevent contractor from conning us

Hi one and all
Glad that I found this thread!! Got a flat at 691B in the recent WIS. Started reno last week. So for those who stay there, my contractors were the one who have been causing all the din
Quite satisfied with the flat so far, just that the dining area is really very dark
Also, how come can hear the horning sound from the trains (m'sia) one ha??
Aiyoh, that's something we didn't realise when we selected the flat. Hope it's not too frequent?
Any good eating place around? Went to the coffee shop next to Mac at yew tee last weekend, not much choice leh. Any other recommendations?
Will come in more often to get to know the neighbours!!

Hi Dora,
Welcome Welcome... I think I know how your layout looks like. For 691 and 692 series, only a 2 kind of layout which having the dining away from the main door which are slightly darker. Maybe you want to consider painting brighter colour.
As for train b’cos 691 and 692 series are slightly nearer to the Railway track, so it will be noisier. It is not very frequent about a 4~6 hrs once. Sometimes in the middle of the night will hear once or twice. Early in the morning can also hear buses sound too if you open up the window. Very soon you will get use to it.
It think there are renovation at the stalls right? Maybe future there will be more good stalls available.
Hi AhBur,
If Yew Tee have higher floor, I would really want to buy it. Like those at Bukit Panjang 40 storey high.
