Hi Jacky, 1) Good of da authorities 2expand da demarcation for seasons parking.. but I din take note if it's many lots or merely a few.. hope many2 : ) 2) At least an item on my wishlist being fulfilled..While AngMo supermart has better pricing & variety, I reckon 7-11 wil be a convenient stop, esp aft hrs. As for other wish-for items like a Sheltered Walkway to MRT, TC gettin gondolas 2clean our filthy aircon leadges.. gotta cont'd waitin..

Hi All, We been stayin here partially & eventually moved in but our things remained unpacked, stacked high in a part of our hall (altho most rooms are in live-in condition). There've been times we shud've stayed home 2unpack but da temptation 2go out superceded our desire to roll up our sleeves, sigh! 1st, Thx AlmondDust, for alertin me 24 Feb re. some residents' cars being vandalised & tat we ought2 check ours too.. Thk God it seemed ok w no visible damages xcept4 some bird droppings : ) ________ Hi Soudezne, I read ur recent frustrated note & the above. Aft AlmondDust's alert, I 1st tot it's da work of mischievous kids (coz I saw some of them hangin around da higher levels of our our carpark as we waited@ lift lobby). Then I went online & hvg read da cases, I conclude otherwise.. Tink I know a hub cap but wat's a vault cap (I aint no expert when it comes to cars, hee)?? Anyway, wat u described sounded vicious!! Such malicious acts dun seem like child's play.. U nid tools to slash tyres & get da cap out! Btw, how is it tat u gotta "msg frm police"? I feel so sori for ur poor car(s)& u being a 2x victim! Others who kena oso.. It makes ppl see red & wanna patrol da carpark by da hr! One recent wkend, we got home & were behind a police patrol car in da carpark while we searched4 an empty lot. Told my hb I'm glad of their presence in view of da recent spate of vandalism. However, I was surprised when they drove off aft only 2 floors! We're in no hurry & gv them no pressure cos we understood da task@ hand (no bumper2bumper & besides, there's space 2manouvre & we can overtake if they wan2). Whether they returned later remains any1's guess..

Hamilton catchin up fast, his 4th to 3rd place manouvre v.interestin! Alonso a surprise... Sorry, non-F1 enthusiasts, I got carried away, hee. Hi Jacky Thanx, I will definitely drop, must see!! Sms/call u, ok? : )

- HB handed me Ticket Pkge, wch got Brochure w useful maps - Map info-> convenient, Shuttle Service from Lavender/Kallang MRT to Gate 1 (nearest gate2 our Turn grandstand seats. Others gotta check seat locations cos I saw Clarke Quay Shuttle Service, Taxi pickup points, etc). We cud drive2 town, park near MRT station (I went online prev, saw race track & seat info but dun rem bus route) but tink they discourage ppl 2drive cos congested traffic - Lanyard-> Cord w Card (ticket) is black color, stating "Singtel Spore Grand Prix (F1)" w Spore flag __________ Hi Rewyr Tks4 reminder abt earplugs. - We got earplugs but HB say will buy there cos donation2 charity & v.affordable@$2 (earplugs+ poncho cos Rain/Shine event) Those going, Enjoy! __________ BTW, any1 did Ventilation Fan in toilet?

Walk2 Marina Sq area/Liu Lian like walk 1/2way round Singkapoh, sigh!

Hi Alister, I readin blogs & abt2 logout then, saw ur predicamt.. If "parkin" ur kids@others' not feasible, STAGGER da jobs ie. do kitchen entrance tile 1st then, laminated flrs or vice versa but Not together so kids got some space 2run abt. To cordon off kitchen entrance, I cud suggest chairs, etc. Most practical (esp if dusty) is prob to create 2 Posts abt 1m height each eg. 2 dustpans w long handle (or anythg easy 2wash: 2 plastic stools). Tie both posts w rows of raffia strings. Warn kids cannot go into kitchen. If they da dun listen kind, we'll discuss alts.

Jacky, My Supreme laminated flooring has lifetime guarantee (tho I recall a forumer saying Supreme has diff grades). Alister, Watever brand/grade, ask ur ID to get floor ppl 2rectify, FOC. Ur ID has their contact & know them so, easier for ID 2get them 2do da job. Once done, ask ID 2obtain for u a Warranty Cert for laminated floor, in case any other defects emerges in the future (but hopefully no more la).

Hi Alister, Best is to get ur ID to rectify loose tile prob or, u hv to live w it everytime u step on it on ur way into kithen. After my kitchen cabinets were up, we decided 2relocate some switches so, hadda replace wall tile(s). My contractor cautioned tt using grinding machine cud be dusty (& wet if his subcon uses water 2spray). Tink they no spray but it sure was dusty (gd thg I had prior advice). If u hv young infant & ur contractor uses machine, noise cud be uncomfortable.

Hi Drac, Noted ur reply2 Stay79.. Yeah, I share ur tots. It's up2 residents 2voice their concerns 2 relevant authorities. If residents r aware yet, indifferent to undesirable thgs happenin around them until smthg major happens/bothers them & start scrambling here for solutions (frm us amateurs when now got authorities 2help/ advise) then, I too rest my case. I reckon if authorities' solutions not good enuff, we tell them so they know & we work together.. Anyway, u guys decide, ok? Jacky, I tink it was Shivan who hadda prob but dunno if he took up HDB's offer 2install... Best check w HDB re. process.

Hi Jacky Thx4 ur suggestion. I agree, let forumers decide if they wanna attend. I merely facilitate tis meeting 2channel our residents' concerns, opinions & feedback to relevant authorities while they inform us of measures (2b)taken, updates & advice. Dear Stay79 Yeah, tho not every 1 of those 1,158 hseholds access our forum, even so, I agree our nos todate is grossly undersized. ________________________ - Proposed Meeting w NPP, 2b arranged by TPCZone2 RC - Time: 3pm, Sat 6 Sept* OR, Sat 13 Sept*.
