Finally!!! our love nest is here \ ( ^ . ^ ) / *WIS March 2006 - Bt Batok/CCK/Bt Panjang*

*sob sob* mi juz went to look at flats with FPIL. my FMIL like gd view
sad.gif
say must put tat one 1st choice. *haiz*
 


haha... so winnie u end up in goodview ah.
eehh...
i tell u all hor, wat's my decision hor...
we've chosen JELEBU!
the eerie ghost hse!
keke...
at 1st, i'm worry abt the price. 258k leh, not
25.80 leh...
my head gonna burst like mad liao.

in the end, i just like tat place.
i dunno how to explain to u all lor.
like means like.
my MIL oso think tat's a nice place.
my hubby mah, said ok.
when my MIL & myself said ok, he oso ok de.
my FIL oso ok... thinking the price is worth for the location & floor area.

hopefully tat evil goldfish dun steal wif me lah.
just scare she changed her mind frm gdview to BP.
then i wld just give up everything liao.

i dun like the blk 612 #12.
the location & unit is ok.
but i dun like the neighbour lor.
coz hor, think they r "garang guni" leh.
poles of clothings hanged directly at the corridor of that new unit & beside the unit, which is the staircase, a lot of big bulky rubbish bah!
even their hse hor, a lot of bulky stuffs.
i tot they r moving & asked if they r shifting & their reply is NO.

so like tat lor.
i only aimed one unit, & tat's it liao!
 
wow..so many posts already!
sigh..some stuff happened at work, so kinda sianz...

hi winnie,
are you Junjie's aunt? in white top izzit? =)

hi fuyutsuki!
i know how u feel coz i was in the exact position as you are in the jul 05 WIS.. the no. i got was 700+!
when i went to see there seemed to be an empty unit opp one of the units for sale, but is not listed in this current sale. i dunno if its still vacant or its been sold but new owners have not started reno yet..

why don't u try forming a new team in the other thread? comments no more flats.
also check out hdb;s archives n see the trend of withdrawing units in an area n releasing again. you must wait for the announcement for hdb to withdraw an area first before it will be re-launched again. so for BB, jul 05 WIS launch, Dec 05 withdraw, Mar 06 launch. you have to do some analysing n guessing, n pray for luck!
 
Hi sailormoon,
As mentioned in the other thread, reno cost is abt $21k. Total cost including the furnitures & appliances is abt $41k.

Once again, for those who are booking today,
GOOD LUCK!!

yah, i hv jointed the hunting team over at the 'comments no more flats', so really to cheong oredi, hehee. however, i m veri bad in analysing, so if all of u kind gals here got any news, pls let me know. thanks a lot

It's so good to know all of u ..we can discuss and share inforamtion on ID & reno, furnitures together..
happy.gif
 
yEAh... FINALLY...
LovE nest coming liao!
eehh... my MIL told us not to get the keys this month... coz, it's the "qing ming" season.
so hopefully can delay the collection of keys.

tomolo, my hubby & I will go & view the flat liao.
the officer said, since we booked it liao, so we can go in to view the flat le.

& the lady officer very nice de, at 1st telling us only can view during office hrs on weekdays.
then my hubby said need to consider liao, coz this month we r so bz that we took so much leaves & time off liao.
then, the lady called back to say can arrange tomolo morning (sat) for us to see & she'll come down herself. so nice of her.

this month is a real bz month for both of us...
early this month is our ROM & reckee of flat & queuing of flat & selection of flat & booking of flat & viewing of flat...
wow... it's really a fruitful month!!!
everything looks so smoothly & hope this continues on for the rest of our life...
yeah...

of coz, hope all the couples here have a blissful marriage too!!!
congrats to all of us here man!!!!
 
oh ya, 4get to say hor, in the previous WIS in jan'06 for the north areas.
there was oso quarrel for the 1st few queues...
& then the quarrelled couple oso number 3 in the queue leh.
& then hor, they oso din turned up for the booking appt.

so coincidence rite???
number 3 is a "swayed" Q number for queuing number of flat... keke...
 
Hello to all my new neighbours!

Yah, me and diaodu same block, same unit, jus different floor. =)

Diaodu, our MBR and bedroom 2 will kenna the west sun, so it'll be hot in the late afternoon.

Can still remember the 4 shock faces when we know the units are still available.. keke.. my bf still ask her, you sure? need to double check or not? hehe...
 
Hi sailormoon (and those who are doing reno soon),

Set yourself a budget & work from there. I told my ID that my reno budget was $17k. The ID's proposal turns out to be $18k. We accepted it as we like his design proposal. As the reno goes, we changed a few things here & there (like changing of toilet doors, added window grills, tv console.. etc) which turns out to be $20k-$21k.

I spent another $10k on non-movable items (items which cannot be shifted when you move house, like air-con, hood, hob, heater, lightings & electrical wirings..etc)

The final $10k goes to furnitures which can be moved when you shift house like fridge, washing machine, tv, beds, home theater system..etc)

As you do your reno, a lot of $$ spent are unpredicted. Better save up more.. (or get something with less features).
As an idealistic, i go for most of the good (and expensive) stuffs. If you go for cheaper stuffs, should be able to save abt $10k...
happy.gif
 
Thanks MoMoCharz.. ya.. we same reaction also.. we were not able to decide for the first 5 mins.. cos very surprised to learn the high floor still available.. we also same blk as Q5..
happy.gif
She's nearer to you..

What did winnie choose in the end? it's really a turn of event of her to swop to Gdview..
happy.gif
 
keke... she decided to be a filial DIL and choose what her MIL wanted..

I saw Q5 jus now already, so out of 4 units, 3 already "ren4 qin1 qi4". Dunno who has taken the last unit only...
 
yah! i reali so excited man! cant wait for all of us to move in & hv a celebration leh .. *fireworks mayb?!?* hahaha

We r still waitin for No. 5, Stacy to join in the forum leh ....
 
lightz: thanks for yr advice.. yah.. my bf & i oso scared will go way beyond our budget..afterall, its our 1st love nest & we would wan it to be nicely done up ... not to forget, we both are like u - "wan mei zhu yi zhe"
kao_wink.gif
 
tomolo, we will be gg inside the hse to view the flat. coz it's an RP unit, so the officer allows us to step into the hse to view the unit!
today, after i got the A4 size map of the unit, i enlarge it into A3 size so that we can start doing our planning liao... keke...
a bit ks rite?
keke...
 
Joan.. wow.. so nice .. so envious of u..
got special treatment one.. gd luck for yr planning!

Momo, my bf so excited .. he went down straight after HDB to recee.. our new unit..
happy.gif



Anyone know when we get the key? My bf heard 3 mths later but i tot i heard officer said 1 month. Also, does anybody know if can drag for more than 1 year, to present marriage cert, with appeal letter?

Tks Sailormoonwt.. those are valuable photos, really remind us of the blood, pain and time we spent to get our love nest..
happy.gif


All, have a nice weekend! It's really time we sit back and relax.. get ourselves refresh to start the next challengea ahead.. Renovation!!!
happy.gif
 
yah, Diaodu..those r memories of the overnight Q at HDB hub man...nxt time can put into the powerpt slide & show it during the Wedding Dinner.....*idea hor*
kao_clap.gif


wei, did u type wrongly? u wan to drag for more than 1 year? u mean 1 mth huh? for us, we ask for early release of keys & the HDB officer let us fill in a form for our appeal ... she says with this appeal...on an avg, 4-6 weeks can get liao!
 
i think diaodu, u type wrongly is it?
do u mean whether u can delay for one yr to present ur marriage cert even after collection of keys ah?
if tat's the case, maybe u can seek lights' advice on how he did it...
currently both of them still not yet ROM, but already shifted into the hse liao.

sailormoon, thanks for the pics...
aiyyooo, i looked so sleepy man!
all of u seems to have so much energy... keke...

it was really a memorable nite which i wld never 4get in my life lor!

i wonder hor, if we can hold hse warming b4 customary wedding..... keke...

morning to all..

Sailormoon, me intent to rom cum customary next June. So need to present the cert. 1 year 3 mths later. Must think of way to appeal. hee..

Joan, I got a no. of friends who had house warming prior to customary. So not really that unusaul..
happy.gif


Winnie, oh.. u got #08-378. That's my first choice intially. the family at #07-378 very friendly.. they also invited me to their house for viewing that time.. have a lovely dog.. hee..
happy.gif
I just realized that guy in black is your nephew. I tot he's Momochaz few days back when I came to forum until I saw her yesterday.. haha.. blur blur.. For IDs, I like EI-FA Design (joseph), Wide-angle (Frankie). Heard from friends, forumers that they are good.

Magical, u really very hardworking leh..recee IDs straight away.. come to think of it.. u must have 1000 tasks on yr check list to rush everything by May/June. Good luck and take care!

I always organize BBQ with my friends and families.. at least 4 to 5 times a year.. so i will probably plan one next year with forumers... after I move in..hee..
Angel & Joan are definitely in the list too.. we go through thick and thin mah..haha
 
diaodu: then how come u din get #08-378? i also remembered tat u mentioned u like tat one... tat's y i thought i no chance with tat unit liao.

btw, should look for ID b4 or after getting keys?
 
actually, earlier I learnt that Q3 will be taking 5 room at Blk 388.. and then I know Q5 might take too.. so all along my bf and i focus on #08-378 cos of study room and same unit no.. as my mum's place.. We were shocked the high floor were available during selection. I want #08-378 but my bf say take high floor better.. so.. give up lor.. haha..

Honestly.. It really depend on your plan..If u getting married soon and need a place, then maybe can start earlier ba.. I am looking at IDs now cos plan to renovate in May and June. Just wrote to HDB today to appeal early release of Keys. My exam finish in april and school start in July to Nov. So if don't do in May onwards, no time..
happy.gif
 
MAgical: wow! looks like u wanna rush everyting by late may wor~~ kind of rush.. delegate yr stuffs to close frens or families to help u loh...else hor..too stressful for u liao... & of cos u need any help... jus post in the forum... we will help u to find out .. okie!
kao_wink.gif


Diaodu: wah piang ooi... u hv BBQ on an avg of every 2mths ah... hehe` yah! we should hv one & will include Angel & Joan *confirmed, guarantee, plus a chop*

hey ladies..jus wondering if we r lucky enough to get a peep at some of the Bt GOmbak forum pple house for an idea hor.... anyone got lobang? Ü
 
hello everyone!

diaodu, sailormoon,
ya loh..how i wish i can take leave for the next 2 months! so many things to do!!
n invitation cards inserts haven print yet leh..die die i must print them by next week! now march left only 1 week only..where did all the time go? sigh..some more apr/may need to set n mark exam papers, sigh.....

yeah i'm very lucky liao la, angel is a super good jie mei.. =D

both us us already going around IDs..hopefully i can find a comfortable one n when i get key, just pass to him n say 'start work NOW! n dont stop until its finished!' ha...

but a bit difficult to know what i want coz haven even seen how my flat looks yet!

anyone knows if i can apply for cement screeding now? before i get my keys? or must wait til after? then they can go n scree for me while my contractor does my living room tiles. then wont waste precious time!

also, for 4-room, my bathrooms n kitchen floor tiles are in already right? anyone knows if my kitchen wall is tiled up yet?
 
Hi Magical,

If you are not going to engage ID, u must really have in mind what u want to do cos I read in magazine that contractor is unlike ID who gives ideas. They are taking orders of what u want to do and usually won't be responsible of the consequences of the results as they are following instructions. I think afacai same blk as u.. 395. This was what she posted earlier..

Common Toilet:
Wall tiles - Upper portion (Cream colour)
- Lower portion light brown colour)
portion of it come with flower pattern
Basin and toilet bowl: Pink

Master toilet:
Wall tiles - Upper portion (greenish blue colour)
- Lower portion (light blue colour)
portion of it come with flower pattern

Basin (built-in with vanity top): Should be Cream or light brown.

HDB provided:2 Shower "hua sha" (dunno what's in English called) in each toilet.

Hi Sailormoon,

I am very keen in wideangle design... i saw that lightz showed a couple his house's design sometimes in Dec 2005. haha..don't know whether can go his house or not..haha

Diaodu
 
haha...
lights very good de lah...
he anything de lor.
confirm will let u all in de lor.
he's a hao hao xian sheng!
but of coz need to notify him in advance lah...
keke...
 
hi diaodu!
wow thanks ! i'm in 394, beside afcai..
i think its called shower head..

hm..like that ah..i'm thinking of changing it to the glass type one.. n planning to include glass shower screen also..

today went to ginza plaza n met no. 2! =)
what a coincidence..

hey no. 2, come in faster ley..waiting for you leh.. =p!
 
Aloha Ü

how was yr wkend gals? can see magical chiong alot of ID companies ovr the wkend ah... so magical..u saw any ID companies u like?

hey.. so anyone got labang to go & chk out the Bt Gombak forum people flats?

hey ... jus wanna ask if u gals r taking up renovation loans... frm where & how long u will be taking... i check previous threads.. not much comments on tat... but i noe some recommend RHB & TCC .... my bf & i was jus calculating the amt tat we wanna loan ... wow, the interest alone is enough to kill ...
kao_sticktongue.gif
 
hi sailormoon!
haha..you greeting always in diferent language eh...i add one more, annyong haseyo! =)

wah very hard to find ID or contractor to do up the house leh..!
 
Hi all,

lightz and light'z wife-to-be had decided to do another round of "open house" due to popular request from diaodu & sailormoonwt. The day is on coming Sunday (2 April 2006), 1100hrs-1600hrs.

To make this an enjoyable session (for host & guest), please observe the following "rules".

1. This open house is open to the following only.
- existing forummers in this thread (new forummers will be on case-by-case basis)
- forummers whom i know personnally (met or chatted before on any issues)

2. Only you & your spouse are invited. Please do not get your pets, family, parents & grandparents here. My house is the smallest unit in Goodview and hopefully nobody gotta sitting at the corridor. If you have kids, you're welcome to bring them along also.

3. All interested parties need to inform me beforehand. No surprise visit. (lightz afraid his heart cannot take it!!)

4. Cameras are strictly prohibited. Camera phones found snapping away will be confiscated!! Hahaha...

5. I personally feel that is not necessary to bring gifts. If you really need to carry something on hand, you can bring some lunch, desserts, fruits, pasteries, snacks for everyone.
happy.gif


6. For entertainment, i can't sing nor dance. However, i do have a home entertainment system to entertain everybody. But my DVDs are very limited, you can bring or rent your own disc. If you want to chit-chat/KPO over a cup of tea, also no problem.
happy.gif



I apologise to the "rules" which i had set. (esp 1, 2, 3 & 4)
I hope you can understand my concern.

Interested parties, drop me a PM with your contact number & e-mail address. I will update everyone from there. See ya.
happy.gif



*The above-mentioned rules are subjected to change without prior notice.
 
Da jia hao!

anyone knows if there are floor tiles for the 5rms kitchen or we have to do them ourselves?

Any pics of pre-renovation stage of the flat?
 
Sailormoon: mi also looked at reno loans fr different banks. did up a spreadsheet summary. if anyone interested, can PM mi, then i email u all :>

overall, think RHB and Hitachi Credit is better.
 
Hi Momocharz,
Tiles and flooring for kitchen & toilets are ready for both 4 & 5 rooms.

Hi Winnie,
Mine's a 4 room flat.
Drop me a PM with your contacts.
happy.gif
 
Hi Winnie,

Lightz is staying in 4 room.

Hi Lightz,

Really appreicate your warm extension!
happy.gif

My bf is working so I will be there in the afternoon. All terms and conditions agreed and I think it is fair and reasonable. Look forward to seeing all of you!!
happy.gif
 
hahaha...!

We take Q no. accordingly and go inside his house ah!?

Lightz, thanks for the info. Randomly took one ID to "kai dao" last night and was told BG flats we have to do flooring for kitchen ourselves. There is a vanity in MBR toilet issit?

Can I ask if all of you ROMed already / planning to ROM / planning for marriage?
 
Magical! u learn korean mah? mmm... aggasi Wendy (Missy Wen) oso noe a little little bit when i went korean 3 yrs back... picked up thru internet... *wink*

Magical: i tink u dun hv much time for now to look for ID contractor at yr own sweet time .. my suggestion is to browse thru Home & Deco mag and get those ID companies to design a simple conceptual plan for yr flat.. i browse them before tat u hv to jus fax them yr floor plan & they will design for u with no obligations .. but i duno if u wanna go for tis as it mayb time consuming...

hey lightz!!! thnks for extending tis warm invitation to all of us ...
kao_clap.gif
tink my bf & i, diadu will be there around 12pm sharp... will be bringing some simple fingerfood...

Winnie/Momocharz/Magical : u gals wanna met us as well at 12pm sharp? tink we all can go in a group!

hv PM u my contact le`
kao_wink.gif
 
Hi MoMoCharz,
Flooring for kitchen should be done. As for vanity in MBR, i think for 5rm, is already done. Mine's 4 room, so dun have. So, i made 1 myself. (with my wallet!! of cos!!)
happy.gif



Hi diaodu & sailormoon,
Had received your PM. Will send out mass e-mails to update everybody on Wednesday. Watch for it!!
happy.gif
 
hello winnie!

[email protected]

hi momocharz!
my hubby n i romed in 2004...n our AD will be on 28/29 may this year..=)

hi sailormoon!
yeah i studies korean up to intermediate level have always wanted to complete my advanced but no time n no money!!
good idea the hom n deco mags, but usually they're the more expensive ones right? coz the shops featured in bridal mags are always the top end ones, so figured that home n deco mags will feature expensive ones too..that was angel's theory.. hee..

hi lightz!
thanks for so warmly inviting us to you home! n thank Mrs Lightz too..=)

i'll liaise with sailormoon n arrange to meet up with them first..coz i still dunno my schedule on saturday yet..=)
 


Magical: WOW!!! so u mastered korean very well liao... still wanna explain to u the meaning of aggasi lah...
kao_sticktongue.gif

hey...its sun...not sat ooh~~ sotong... *wink*
well, actuali not reali wor... some of the shops featured in Home & Deco mag might not be top of the cream ... jus forward them yr flr plan & see wat their design is lah.. no harm mah...
