I've checked mine today. The wall behind the door to the bomb shelter is only 17 cm wide. I think also tough to make a partition to cover the bomb shelter with shoe rack inside. Think I may have to forgo this idea.

Yes, I collected the keys and went to open the door on the same day

At first I wanted to just get contractor, show them the photo and ask them to do it. But the design I want, e.g. the spaces, cubicles, etc may not be the same as the photo. My friends were telling me to go for ID as he/she can help me with the design and I think with proper measurements it will make things easier for the contractor? I don't know. Will ask for quote and see how much is the cost.

I have a question. I have gotten my keys and I need to do a build-in wardrobe, a cabinet to cover the bomb shelter door and wall and kitchen cabinet. Build-in wardrobe and kitchen cabinet is kind of quite standard designs but I would like the cabinet in the living room to have a curve edge than the usual 90 degrees turn. How should I explain to the contractor or in this case it is better for me to get an ID to help me with it? Normally how much would an ID charge for a 2 room flat?

My aunt checked the Chinese dates book for me, she said on the day of the key collection I can go open the door as that day is auspicious for me. I don't want to hear too much myths, it's giving me a lot of worries and headache 🤣🤣🤣 I just be positive and go open the door next Tuesday. Wish me good luck! 😄😄😄 Btw I always have a talisman with me in my bag, I hope I'm safe 😆😆😆

You should be getting your notification soon

Does she open the PUB account at HDB or do it beforehand? How long grace period is given for us to report the defects? My key collection date falls in 7th lunar month. Many people tell me a lot of things to take note. I'm having a bit of headache now. Omg. Haha

Hi, I'm at West Scape. I'm collecting my keys on 2 August.

Cool! Thanks for sharing. Now at least I have an idea where to get those things. Looking forward to my new house.

Thanks for sharing the photos! Did you engage any ID for the renovation? Did you redo the sink in the bathroom? The dining table looks good. I think I can plan to have 1.5 m table too. Hehe... Where did you buy it from? The wall tiles in your kitchen looks good and also the pink wall in your bedroom is very sweet. What's the size of your bed? Queen size? Where did you buy the fan in the kitchen and also the drying rack? Thank you!

I think mine is about two bus stops away from the future Jurong Regional Line, light blue line.

Not sure how it is compared. Mine was supposed to be ready in Q4 2021. Then I was informed the date changed to Q2 2022.

Mine is at West Scape. Estimated to be ready by this year Q2. Hopefully there won't be anymore delay. I want to quickly settle everything before the GST hike. 😆

Since your ballot number is within the total number of units, should be quite safe. All my ballot numbers (including the one that I got selected) exceeded the number of total units available, hence I didn't get it. The best part was HDB still was able to hold sale of balance units in the following round despite our numbers exceeded the total number of units. This is something that I could not understand why there were more applications than the units available yet there was still balance units for sale. Why can't they give the chance to us instead 😕 They would give you a stack of units and its prices for your selection. If you have got that, then you can start to shortlist the units you prefer. I think it was given on my first appointment with HDB.

Have you got the date for the first appointment? First appointment is to pay the option fee only. After which they will process and then see how much grants you will be entitled to. After everything's done (which is months later), then they will give you another date for selection of the units. Just sharing my experience: I got balloted for a number for different BTO applications but my balloted number was only shortlisted in Dec 2017 for an appointment in Feb 2018. That was for August 2017 BTO. The previous two times I got a ballot number sent to me via email but not shortlisted for selection. So in Feb 2018, I paid an option fee of $500. I think I also had to submit some outstanding documents ( I can't remember too). The lease agreement was signed in Oct 2018. Mine was on a Sunday. It was on that appointment that you need to select your unit. What I did was I shortlisted a few units that I wanted, in order of preference, e.g. floor level, location of unit, unit number etc. This is because in case the unit has been taken up by others, you have other options to fall back on, unless you want to give up this chance, it will be deemed as one chance forfeited. You can monitor on the HDB website to check if the unit you prefer is still available. When I was waiting for my turn, there was only two units left in my selection so I was quite nervous at that time, in case those remaining units of my choice got selected by those applicants before me 😁 Supposed to collect keys in Q4 of 2021. Now it's delayed to Q2 of 2022. Hope it won't get delayed anymore.
