true..but if it provides u with the convenience money cannot buy...its worth it..for myself..i will work in the east fr next yr onwards so a car will definitely resolve many of my inconvenience. Besides, doing reno works need a lot of travelling...during this period..a car will definitely saves u a lot of hassles.

Site survey of Sembawang Green. EST 2PM-3PM
I took MRT from Raffles Place Station to Sembawang Station. Along the Northline was forced to switch train at AngMoKio Station. Not sure if that is always the case to switch? Losing my seat and now stand all the way till destination.
I arrived at Sembawang MRT station in 30mins, saw a starhub store, Fuji photo, UOB banking and Citibank ATMs mainly at the station. Walked toward Sun Plaza and cut through the mall to the bus interchange. Waited for 5-10mins and came 859, hopped on the ride and arrived at Admiralty within a few stops. That was real fast!!! http://www.smrt.com.sg/buses/sembawang.asp
Picture taken right at the bus stop.
Cross the road to the park.
From the park entrance, it lead me to a walk way.
Walked right into the basketball court.
I looked left.
To right.
And saw my home.
Summary:
Going to Sembawang Green from City is pretty fast. Heading to home from the bus interchange is fast too! If you take bus 859 from the park entrance you can reach the commerical market within 1-2 stops also.
Leaving Sembawang Green, I decided to take another bus service from the main Sembawang road at blk 482 side. Walking through blocks from blk 487, I saw a child care centre, pretty quiet and saw the legendary MILKK Cafe Restaurant. Very quiet, lights off with no customer, not sure why but there was a someone at the cashier counter. I could smell some food, on the door pasted a notice that they are "open till 7PM today". Walked further I saw a chinese tu na/sensei shop? I am puzzled why such a shop? Would be better if its a grocery shop. Then finally I saw a medical clinic at another block which make more sense to cater the needs of the neighborhood. I waited at the bus stop and bus arrived within 5-10mins. Maybe I am lucky that day? All the bus came pretty quick. But weather was hot. Travel from SemGreen to Sun Plaza was fast too. Along the way saw Coffeeshop, minimart, shop n save, barber etc. I think its at blk 406. So good pp of semgreen if you are real hungry then got to walk 10mins? or take a bus which is 1 stop only to the big coffee shop.
On the overall the environment is good. As time goes by I believe more shops will "appear" to cater the needs.
Going out from Sembawang seem to be a "headache" if you are heading for E/NE area. The bus network from Sembawang interchange only goes mainly to town but I believe MRT is a better way. So, I figured that for a better bus service by SMRT, I would just either head for Woodland or Yishun interchange by taking the bus service right at our door step if you are really going to take bus to somewhere.
I am convinced that Sembawang is not actually a far and "wulu" place. Reason being that its individual life style! If you whole life stay in the east, you will say the west and north is far! Same if you stay in the west whole life, north and east would be far too.
So now we are going to stay in the North, we would all curse that the East and West are too far accessible.
The above are all true to certain sense. However if you are driving, maybe major express way will make a difference to your life.

Hi Princesspig84,
I took the photos from the bus stop and enter from jelutung park entrance, walk straight and hit the park walking/cycling track. The track will lead you the basket ball court.
If you are driving around admiralty link, you wont be able to see the whole of "inside" jelutung park cuz its surrounded by HDB blocks. The only opening to see whats "inside" is via the park entrance which you can see from the photo I took.
487 is still building the final top level i think.
488 is completed and all the windows done except the living room.
489 is almost complete, no paint no windows up.
490 is the same as 489.
I don't know how true but really hope can get by June09. The tampines "Premier" HDB which was constructed almost at the same time as our "semgreen" is also fully done and painted. if they can get key this year, i don't see why we can't cuz the more they drag the construction i think it only will incur costing?
I also want to ask all again on this very important issue.
Remember when we sign the papers with HDB? I remember I paid the 10% already but I can't recall if the sum I paid include the stamp fee which is thousand over dollars.
Do you guys know if you paid the stamp fee?
I hope to find out more what are the cost and amount need to pay on the next round during the key collection so can prepare.
I know for sure the following is need.
1. 90% to HDB (pay via CPF)
2. Home insurance (if i loan from bank can also be part of loan?)
what else we still need to pay?

Other than buying fire insurance at level 2, we'd need to pay 3 months conservancy charges.
Think we're under Sembawang GRC?
Refer to url for the charges - http://www.sembawangtc.org.sg/scc.html
Can also open account to activate power & water supply.
Initial deposit for SP account - http://services.spservices.sg/cs_services_residential_deposit_info.htm
These are the charges for Citygas -

Citygas charges are too confusing and lotsa figures. So I presume using the private gas operator is a better option and cheaper. So I not including the cost here.
=============================================================
1. SP service HDB 4 rooms Deposit - $70(Giro)/$100(non-Giro)
2. Service and Conservancy Charges - $48.00/$61.00
3.
4.
5.
=============================================================
So what are the other cash amount required in order to get the keys? Please feel free to add on. thanks

Helo jessie,
I saw the web display monthly $48 and normal is $61 and on certain months there is 0.5 rebate. I also not sure how they calculate.
Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) from 01 Jan 2009 are as follows:
Room Type / S&CC /S&CC rebates (in Mar, June, Sept, Dec) / Normal S&CC
4 / $48.00 / 0.5 / $61.00

-quoted from the same page at the bottom of the link-
The Normal S&CC rates are applicable to residents/ tenants with the following criteria:
where none of the owners or tenants and none of the authorized occupiers of the flat are citizens of Singapore
where in the case of a flat sold by the HDB- any owner or essential occupiers of the flat has an interest in any residential property not owned by or vested in the HDB or any industrial or commercial property, whether or not owned by or vested in the board.
where in the case of a flat let out by the HDB- any authorized occupier of the flat has an interest in any residential property not owned by or vested in the HDB or any industrial or commercial property, whether or not owned by or vested in the board.
which is owned or let to any corporate body
which is vacant

Frm HDB:
Based on the current progress of construction, the Probable Completion Date (PCD) is 3rd Quarter 2009 i.e. between Jul 2009 - Sep 2009. Applicants will be invited to collect their keys within 3 months of the completion date.
Do you think we can get the keys faster?

Jessie, you mean you got the mentioned clause,
"Applicants will be invited to collect their keys within 3 months of the completion date." ??
Which blk u choose?
I think the dates might be brought forward to 2nd quarter for blk 488... may get keys before june...

not to worry, our service yard is an open area and it is not obstructing any of the hanger mechanism. grilles are ok... u may wan to install window to prevent rains from coming in too in the event of big downpour...
My blk is the slowest blk. 487.. I think that is the reason why the completion for mine is slower.
"Applicants will be invited to collect their keys within 3 months of the completion date." >> This clause was mentioned in the email that I have sent to HDB.
Think I will be installing window at the service yard to prevent rain from coming in.

Hi Edwin,
Thanks for the recommendation. Do we need to apply HDB permit for the window installation?
Hi all,
For those who missed the display of tile finish like me at HDB hub.
After I have tried to upload photo, I could really appreciate those, eg. Nichiyobi who uploaded a lot of photos into the thread. It takes a while to resize the photo and maintain the photo quality.
