i mean i cry... he will say things like i will not tolerate such nonsense from u

foga SG

no need to guesss

just directly opp redhill mrt ( across the road )

foga SG

we're looking at reasonable sized units, easily accessible by mrt and bus

just the rite kind of place we are looking at

plus it's in a mature estate and resale price should be better.

plus we dun wanna have to walk 25 minutes to the nearest mrt Mr. Green

red_amoeba SG

enjoy while u can. There is gonna be a 30+ storey condo coming up. the showroom is nearly done. so its gonna be around 2008 / 2009 that the view will be blocked. Twisted Evil

foga SG

considering the distance, of course sure wil kenna one. so no point worry until so much Mr. Green

i put it this way, BM will block the condo's view of PSA

red_amoeba SG

very true. but i prefer the bt timah view…very peaceful, all the greens and the rolling hills (or highland).

BufPuf SG

isn't there a condo or something
just at bukit timah hill?

shinta SG

shinta SG

XD XD XD

=)) SG

Very Happy

BufPuf SG

oh gosh,

i am damn pissed toking to my cousin over the flat thing.

Kept telling me how much worth is it to get a condo.

Her logic is
300k+ for a HDB flat,
might as well get a condo in some 'rural' estate ..nevermind the tpt is very inconvenient, nevermind if no amenities there. As long as is condo is worth it..

What is she thinking siah? Kept bombarding how bad choice i had made
kept bragging how rich she was..having more than 100k in her CPF

wTF!

qooorange SG

Well, if you are confident of servicing the housing loan, why not? But if you fall short of your monthly payments, the bank will come knocking... what happens if you are out of job? Cannot service loan, bank reposses the condo, bankrupt you and you become homeless.

Now for HDB, if I remember correctly, the bank cannot seize the flat even if I am bankrupt.

BufPuf SG

that cousin of mine is NATO ( No Action, Talk Only )

jus another irritating mosquito Mr. Green

Wanda SG

Don't listen to her lah. Buy a flat in a good location and save your extra cash and extra time (saved from travelling) for other things/luxuries. You won't regret it. Wink

red_amoeba SG

maybe the cousin is thinking of buying condo and later tio en-bloc. But rural condo no value leh. somemore so many condos nowadays want to en bloc oso won't touch the rural areas one.

BufPuf SG

that's what i thought so too.

me and foga did a calculation
a very rough one though,

we will save quite a lot of $$ to and fro from work and to parents house
as compared to living in those 'less convenient' area..in the long run, still benefit..

She told me her bf and her's combined CPF got more than 100k, so she can choose any place she want.

100k is really exaggerating for someone who just work like 4-5 years and never work in a job more than 1 yr+. bf only 30 this year.

aiyo, i like so 'sour grapes' like that
haha

choco B SG

Now even Jurong West also got condo Laughing

Xcert SG

since U know what U want...just one-ear-in-one-ear-out lor... Laughing Mr. Green

BufPuf SG

lakeshore and centuris (not sure abt the speling)

centuris shd be quite expensive because downstair is shopping centre. Extension of Jurong point.

Quite good location if have $$ and work in tuas.
except got the coco smell lah....haha
