Thank you as usual very efficient

Unit with front door literally beside the common bin lobby…

Don’t like this type of raised open space letter box design Haven for collecting dusts ….Poor design

Views from Block 419A Waterfront II of Northshore Plaza I Most likely opening at year end of 2021.

This era, Wooden based PES fencing is popular feature of such EC’s /Condos

On 16 July 2021 a visit to Simei Green Distinctive triangular halves:- Old EC development sure to have run-downs + higher sinking funds

New kid on the block : Block 252 Jurong East Street 24 coffee shop (next to the market) $7/- because ordered specific items.. Generous portion of the kway chap noodle. Even comes accidentally with a strand of yellow noodle… Like the help yourself condiments especially the chilli sauce. Overall flavourful, but would have hoped that the chilli is more tangy rather than sweet.. Otherwise no overpowering- aftertaste like some other stalls… There is also a Dim Sum stall called Tian Fa at this same coffee shop. Not tried it though. But their steamers exterior seems to look plastic.. not of bamboo material.. okay I may be wrong here.

Case Study 1A: What is the difference between an EC/Condo unit ( includes past Privately built DBSS) Vs most HDB flats? 1. It’s a balcony and Personal Enclosed Space PES. 2. From personal experience, even staying in a home with pool side views + a room with a bay window; eg. 4 storeys high, noise simply bounce to the RC roof of the bay window and magnified into the bedroom or living room. 3. This is why several recent developments provide sound proofing panels eg. The Clementi Canopy for units facing the AYE, The Visionaire EC for specific units facing the MRT tracks. 4. Thus can envision what it may be like for white noise “victims” at this condo. 5. Just maybe the developer provides this, here? My write-up of The Visionaire has some photos of the sound proofing panels. Actually it is more of a reduction of it. Let’s hope their showroom does not any any theme associated with the Three Musketeers! “All for one and all for one!” Let’s share the train noise together!

Good question. Fresh in some of our minds was the debacle of did we site a hospital too close to shopping malls? That of Ng Teng Fong Hospital and it’s ancillaries? When Singapore met a situation of suspected “cross-contamination” where most likely person or persons passed through a mall. Some touted that a hospital should be “Isolated or on it’s own” to avoid such a drastic closure. Perhaps it may be different for a Poly. (Most likely, it may be the crowd. And thus the higher risks..) But there can always be a biased that one’s home should not be near to anything associated with a Poly, Hospital, Temple etc. Such stigmas will always be stuck to some. Thus if we are okay with it. And in a potential resale, a potential buyer may not be comfortable with it! How to convince such persons otherwise?

Case Study: Wealth luck sectors will change from 2024 to 2043 From Key collection till maximum of 2023, luck sectors will change locations especially on/from 2024 till 2043:-

It is not a living-IN area. And even in recent years, the Singapore government had to regulate how much ratio to floor area the balcony or PES is allowed for each flat. I have added this details somewhere in this forum. Forgot .. roughly perhaps not exceed 19%? Total floor area.. or thereabouts! “This is my way or the highway, lah!” Anyway there is no ruleset on this matter. Some others may do so, I don’t know… about them.

"a" All I wanted was no that no unit face the MRT tracks. Did not mean really mean to make such a "Mess". Luckily as you had mentioned: YOU WILL END UP STAYING THERE. I DON'T! I will collect my fees and WASH MY HANDS FOREVER! LOL!

Case Study 1: Welcome to a world where every unit gets close to equal WHITE NOISE (Noise pollution) from MRT train movements/braking! YES, LET"S SHARE THIS AMONGST EVERYONE! Sounds Communists.. doesn't it? Note: The White Streaks is a rough illustration of noise pollution reverberating to ONE and ALL .. LOL (If you ask me, it is a stupid idea really & truly.) For example, such funnels actually TRAPS & EVEN ECHOES sound .... LOL In my opinion, again a stuPIG idea designed by brainless people. Perhaps the designer's mantra is: YOU STAY THERE WE DON'T! SO WHY I CARE! 1. In the past developers had toyed with how to place their developments in relation to an elevated MRT tracks and trains. 2. For example, a silly idea was that of Tropical Spring Condo where it's U surrounds the MRT track. 2.1. This means especially the entire stacks/units within the inner U can have some sort of noise from the MRT trains running on it. 3. And then some developers decided that there must be some sacrifical "lambs or goats" where for example Capsian has block 54 to bear the brut of most of the MRT train movement noise. So goes for The Lakefront Residences especially block 42 and Lakehomlz with blocks 86 and 88:- 4. Pasir Ris 8 Site plan design means that every single block is not spared from the echo of every train movement. Given that there are totally no blocks nor Multi Storey Car Park (MSCP) to buffer it for the REST of the development. 5. Actually previously had written this concern in a near-by HDB development. LOL This development is HDB Costa Ris. Which Pasir Ris 8 seems to (roughly) try to mimic it:- Blocks & Site Plan = 1 Star out of 5 Probably or Confidently will be the worst Site Plan of the whole of 2021! Yucks!

Thanks to a kind lady who has forwarded me a copy of the Sales Brochure. Will do the review as soon as I have some spare time. Thanks!

Hi Cecil good morning (Name hidden) We are selling our house getting a new flat can i buy a number 13 house. Please advise Me : xx/xx/19xx My hus. Xx/xx/19xx Once bought will call you for house feng shui Reply: Hi Padmah, Frankly Feng Shui does not take into account house numbers. In numerology, there are humid formulas. Thus some can show positive or negative. Highly subjective. Thus more to when you go into the house, how’s the feeling like! Best of luck! Stay Safe

Others…

Case Study 3: Wow! No wonder "I am so popular!" I am closer to the condo enclave of Skyline Residences and Harbour View Towers

Are you interested in buying a home at The Estuary condo? Is my existing house or potential new home still lucky today?
