It's Dec.....very soon 2010 is over.

Man....when I said how fast time flies, guessed it is an under-statement haha. Well, at least it's how thing is esp talking about time. Blink, blink and it's gone!

My lease for the condo....just left with another 6 months and now I am house hunting for the past 2 Sundays. Lucky that the COV is came down quite a fair bit. Now can still see some asking for 30 to 50K....and they have to wait "long long" lor. On the average....the asking COV is around 20 to 30K but the reasonable ones are those asking for around 10 to 20K esp for lower floor units or the older ones. For the newer ones....the valuation is still pretty high. Also noticed the Punggol has a higher valuation cpmpared to Sengkang. Therefore....planning to get in Sengkang around Blk 297 to 299 area for the sake of wifey and kids' transportation.

Went to Waterloo street temple on last Monday ( lunar 1st of 11th mth ) and took a chiam-see. Got no 69.....it is about the shoot of a cherry bloomson in winter looking dry and leaveless but come spring and it will be bloom into a nice plant with lovely flower. Meaning....must have the patient to wait and things will be fine. Same time....asked about the housing thingy but was advised to look to Yee Tee area. For the past 3 days I have been looking up the property ads plus on-line at I-property and Propertyguru sites.....but cannot help noticed the COV and valuation for the flats there. Yes, some of the older ones have a larger floor area but the look is not so in tune as in Punggol or even Sengkang. Unless go the newer ones near the end of Yee Tee and I went to have a look on last Sunday....noticed lots of FTs ( PRC and Indians ) as there are worker hostels there. Understand these people would sit and messed up the ground floor with their litters eg empty beer bottles and food packaging. So it is not safe.

At Punggol....went to view EA and 5I units, wow....some have very nice fixtures and in "move-in" standard but with higher COV. Also went to view Sengkang....and it is less by 30 to 50K in valuation for some units. The renovations for some are also "good". May have to break the advice if I go for Sengkang....and from the look of things, I will go with the flow with nothing casted in stone!
