Tedlhw 5th Gear March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 issit v inconvinent for wet market or grocies top ups? or late nite supper to drove out n makan? just curious..of coz mostly have cars..what i mean is just 100m tat kind of range..but if like town kind or some areas..beside freehold n investment..really more convinent? wah bishan hdb hitting 1 million..seems like bubble in 1997.. No la, definitely less convenient. Almost nothing within 100m range, except golf driving range. The Tanjung Rhu area got to drive to Siglap/Old airport/Cold storage@ Leisure Park. Cold Storage at Leisure park things also more expensive.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedlhw 5th Gear March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 Yes correct. but come on , you know I am just generalising for the sake of this discussion. of course this doesnt mean all staying in mass market condos are like that. but I can tell you majority are. and yes, it does appear in other residential communities as you mentioned, no doubt. Anyway, this reminds me of a story, met some friends of friends etc during baby shower. everyone trying to tell everybody, which condo they stay, what car they drive etc...then i realise it's all mass market condos and entry level contis and these are the folks who yak the most. I just stand there and nod, nod, smile smile. The rest of us trying to be as sucessful as you mah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben5266 Supercharged March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 My friend condo charges $300. He has 2 cars, assuming $90 each, then his nett $120 only for security, pool, gym and tennis court. HDB $60 is perhaps over charging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vextan 1st Gear March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 (edited) actually i not sure what exactly is conservancy charges paid for ? we already pay a monthly fee to sembawang company for waste disposal, and electricity and water bills and season car park charges, then what is conservancy for ? ok, repair lift and spray fog, and what ?

Nitro Neutral Newbie March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 Wah piang. You 1 stroke killed everyone living in a mass mkt condo. How can! There are also good folks who live in such mass mkt condos who don't do what you have highlighted above what. Dio bo? Anyway, the behavior you pointed out also appears in other communities like HDB. High end condos and landed I don't know but knowing humans, sure got lah. Half past 6 people can live anywhere. btw, I live in a pigeon hole hor. Can't afford a condo. Can only afford a condom. How to define which is Mass Mkt condo and which one is "high class" condo huh? By location, name of condo or price?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 I do agree. I just sold my place for similar reasons. Not trying to act high class or what, but here were my experiences. My neighbour (old uncle) had a disagreement with his wife whether their kitchen was larger than mine. The uncle rushed into my house (did not lock during renovation) and measured my entire kitchen with a measuring tape. My interior designer and myself stared in awe. People making remarks at one another being cheapskate or whatever. Apparently some people took water from the swimming pool for their own usage. Their taps not working? There was a case of two residents fighting because one car overtook the other en-route to the carpark. Confronted the other. One guy slapped the other and the other punched back. A case of ego problem? Believe it or not, my car (and several others) were scratched; when I brought it up to the security guards, they could pin point which parking lot it was -- some ppl just want to reserve that lot for themselves. They thought they paid for priority parking too? Dozens of toyota wish / honda stream race in the carpark like it's the F1 circuit. Disillusioned themselves with plenty of stickers too. What if someone was knocked down? You have such ppl everywhere definitely; but the proportion matters. wow, that really sucked.... glad you got rid of it.

By location, name of condo or price?? haha. i think "The Calrose" sounds nice and elegant and girly despite not knowing how to pronounce it the yck condo in question is "The Calrose" if i'm not wrong. i think it depends on location. look at 76 shenton.. all sold within ONE DAY. smacked right in the middle of cbd. the name not impressive but the location....
