ELECTRONIC PARKING SYSTEM

No free parking on Sunday and Public Holidays.  No lots after 10pm  on weekdays.

Friends and relative visiting not aware of NO free parking, or simply forgot to put extra parking coupon.

Foreign cars, contractors cars occupying season parking lot and some even overnight without displaying the "green" parking coupon!

Upcoming small eatery and mini mart near drop-off point, foresee more illegal parking if not congested service roads due to drivers grab N' go.

Well, hopefully this will solve and improve parking conditions in the estate.

OLD NEWS LAH... *YAWN*

Been in this neighbourhood for almost 4 years.  Nothing seems to change.

Yet another Boo Boo.

You dont need to be in M'ysia to get connected to M'ysia's Telco.

Poor mobile coverage to "AUTO" roaming, there's spate of water seepage, faulty alarms questioning the quality of these BTOs.  Got quantity no quality. "SHAKE HEAD"

Residential blocks going up fast and furious but not enough amenities for the residents.  Well, IMHO, you can die but better not fall sick unless you can drag yourself a few LRT stops and prepared to wait up to an hour just for a 3 mins hi-bye session with the GP.

Well, as long as you are in the neighbourhood, it doesnt matter you are in HDB, EC or Condo... Buying a "high-class" unit doesnt guarantee you are safe from all these shitty issues.

HDB got complaints , now EC owner also got their woes - EC or Condo...still the same developer ... so what gives?  

JUST ANOTHER PIGEON HOLE

The latest DBSS which caught up with the recent "complaint frenzy"

Read about it here Pasir Ris DBSS - An Expensive Pigeon Hole and here Yet Another DBSS Under Fire

Isnt it a bit too late to know that you are living in one?? I already knew that years ago.

Nice Exterior but still the same boring sh*t 

Hong Kong or Singapore?? Everywhere there's housing problem.

Reminds me of a program on FYI - Tiny House Nation.  Who knows - there isnt luxurious space even for a pigeon hole and we had to reduce to shoe box apartments and even tiny spaces.

ARE YOU LISTENING! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Came across this article in TODAY.  I find the situation very similar to the current one faced in my own estate.

1. Again, invading of the already very limited void deck spaces.

2. Again, it's a GO despite residents' protest.

But i'm not sure if there were plans for this space when residents first made a purchase on this BTO.  Otherwise...

3. Again, plans comes only after residents had settled in.  Residents can simply do without such 'add-ons'.

Again, I'm sure there are still people who welcome the 'add-on', and then those who approach the issue nonchalantly.

Rather than spending two minutes to finish the whole article, it could simply be summarised as follows: -

Some things are better left unchanged.

TELCO WOES

Came across this little voice on The Straits Time.

He stays in Sembawang, I'm staying at Punggol - but we sure are living uniquely in SG .... or wait... M'ysia?

He has been staying there for 12 years and he's still complaining? I'm coming to my 4th year and I'm done with complaining - gave up - raised my white flag!!  Stop wasting my breath!

The one and only solution all telco companies that's going to provide to you - is a very standard template answer: - that by the 2nd year, I can even memorise word for word, even in a reverse manner - that is...

"switch you handphone to MANUAL SEARCH network"

We are paying ever increasing monthly plans for these type of sh*tty service??  Why should it be our fault when our SMART PHONE detect an overseas provider when we are HOME?  If they are able to do that - wow, that means their coverage is far more superior than local telcos!

Shouldnt telco companies do some soul searching than to throw the ball back to our court?

As for Mr Foo, welcome to the club.

TRAFFIC JAMS

Accidents are very unfortunate and unexpected events.  But having stayed here long enough - I had seen a fair share of accidents happening on the TPE, resulting to long snaking jams and in fact, it did happened before that the whole stretch of expressway had to be closed for hours!

The town is ever growing but there's only 4 exits to get in/out of it??  Yes, it was announced that a 5th is coming - akan datang.

On any normal days, a trip to drop the kids at school and returning home is usually 5mins.

Unfortunately, both yesterday and today, the roads were jammed due to accidents on the Expressway.
Today was worst than yesterday - having stuck in the jam for more than 25mins!

Traffic updates only report the jam only goes all the way back to certain major road or certain exits on the Expressway - but look at the REAL SCENARIO here - how to get out of town when residents cant even leave/enter their own estate?

IT'S A GO

All board up for changes.

The 2 blocks affected are in the "red" box.

Since it's a "GO", let's see how these 'extra feature' will benefit us in the long run.
