House hunting

Wah....after a weekend of going house hunting, guessed things are more or less settled. Already have confirmed to rent a condo at Springdale. Nothing too fancy,
in fact....it is unfurnished and it has 3 bedrooms. With about 1170 sq ft of space
and is also bright and windy. It is a nice small place....over looking the swimming pool. At 6th floor...not too high or too low.

For the price of $1850 per month....which is much cheaper than some HDB flats we went to look at. Got one EA...at Bt Batok, the owner is asking for $2.3K which to us is too much becoz I still gotto pay for car park too. While for condo...the rent is including the car park already. Why...choose a unfurnished one? Well...I have my own furnishings which is a waste to throw away. And for some old condo...the furnishings are quite worn-out. The TV is just 32" LCD or smaller...or the old fashion 29" box like ones. So....I can still take some of my stuffs along with us to the new place. Btw I will be having a 2yrs lease.

It was quite tiring running around....from one condo or flat to another. Yes....some
condos are really "class" eg like Maplewoods but I don't quite like the unit I saw there....it is a 1+1 and going for $2.4K. The prices pretty wide in some cases esp for those with MRT stations near-by. Like the Warren in CCK....a small unit 2+1 will go for $2.4K and the swimming pool area look like a public pool. So many different races....they don't really care for the place. Making it worst than public area. For Springdale....it is a small development so not so crowded....and it is quite clean.

Until....we shifted out of my flat into the condo, I have no peace. Worried about so many things....plus also how things would work out. The transports for my wife and children....yes! we have all agreed that there is no problem from there to their workplace or school but have not actually do it yet. Only when it is really proven to be okay then I can only relax but for now....big headache!!! Then....to get more stuffs for the place. That maybe fun....Courts - Bt Timah is just opp my area.

Springdale is on the piece of land where the old AMOY CAN was. It was the bottler for the Green Spot orange drink, just beside the old Bt Timah fire station.

The other thing I like about the place is that it is also beside the Bt Timah hill area. We can go for a hide and just do a brisk walk to there and back. Nice view and fresh air too. Lots of monkeys too.

It has got lots of advantages to stay there. One thing....cheap rent then followed by nice house and quiet swimming pool. Then with Bt Timah thingy....plus shopping and makan places near-by which is good for wife.

Hopefully...it will improved the quality of life of the children esp the environment for studying that we shall keep one room free for their study and computer-room.
