Subaru Challenge

David, Matt's bro is in!!! Now he is one of the 400 competitors outside taka taking on the gruesome Subaru Challenge!! It was pouring just now. What a nasty first day to start with!! Hope he can overcome this mental and physical challenge. Jiayou!! =)

Application sent!!

Finally we decided on a 4rm and sent in our application yesterday!!! =) Now we have to wait for the ballot results in Dec, so exciting!! Hope we can get a swee swee queue no. *Pray hard*

Yesterday we drove down to the site to explore. Location is not as bad as I thought! I was very satisfied with it! If we are able to select the unit that we want, it is actually quite near Fernvale LRT and Fernvale point. Besides, a few fernvale estates are already there for a couple of years so it is not that ulu. So by the time we move in, the area is more or less developed. Anyway we came across an interesting sight, famlies are gathering at this open space near the Sengkang central and flying kites!! So many cars are parked along the roadsides. It looks like another Marina Bay to me. Sweeeeeet.... I love seeing family having fun together. =)   

Moving on to another stage of life....

Met up with Alice yesterday at Tampines for dinner and also to visit her NEW HOME!!!
Yes, she is now a proud homeowner of a 5rm flat in Tampines! =) So exciting... Her house is so BIG and SPACIOUS which you can never find it in Punggol and Sengkang. It costs a whopping half a mil!! Well that's the price to pay for a premium location and space. =(

The current HOT topic with my dear gals are now revolving around marriage, house and moving on to kids soon. We are really moving on to another stage of life. I felt so hmmm....MATURE! (I wldn't use the word OLD!! Taboo!!) =P At the same time, I am also excited because house will be the most expensive asset that I can ever own!! So it is so damn important to be able to buy a house that you and spouse LOVE!!! So that everyday after a long tiring day of work, we can look forward to go back to our LOVE NEST to nuah!! =)

Good Luck to all home seekers!!

New BTO Launch - Fernvale Palms

A New BTO Launch - Fernvale Palms on 16 Oct.

As for location, it is situated at the western side of Sengkang, near the prata haven Jalan Kayu which we often frequent for supper! =P Hmmm...location wise, nothing much to wow about. However as compared to other BTO flats, it has a much affordable pricetag.

Indicative prices for Fernvale Palms (Sengkang)

3rm - $129,000 - $163,000 (96 units)

4rm - $214,000 - $262,000 (347 units)

5rm - $282,000 - $340,000 (52 units)

We are undecided whether to get a 4rm or 5rm but we are kinda inclined to choose a 5rm unit #533 of Blk 433B which is not facing the main road so it will not be too noisy. However there are only 52 units of 5rm to select from!!

As at 18 Oct:
Flat type     No. of Flats     No. of appln     Ratio (Approx)
