I have heard a few sonic booms since this morning, even rattling the doors/windows. Another friend living closer to town also confirmed windows rattling. Anyone else has heard them? Or know the causes?

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20090812/tbs-...ty-0b9af05.html Not yet sleeping so I thought of sharing my view on the current property boom...I was in the east looking for a small apartment...Why?? I just need a small apartment to stay....If I buy a 3-room HDB...It's probably something which is quite old...If I am going to buy a 4 or 5 room in a more centralise area....It's probably going to cost me 70% of the money I required to get a freehold 2 bedder in the east/west or north etc....So why not i pay 30% more and buy something that can last for a long time... I went into the showroom...The salesman very helpful....explained to me the project...bring me look around....then tell me he got colleague that can discussed further with me....yes....it's going to be money talk I guess!!! Anyway since no more 2 bedder is available...I told him I got all the information I required....should i am intersted in the left over 2+1....I will let him know...He immediately told me to wait and bring out a piece of those seem like triple 5 notebook paper...and tell me he got customer whom are willing to let go....minimum 5 units in the paper I saw....I just ask him if that's the case....won't I be buying at a more expensive price? He brush off my question by rattling off again what unit he have to let go... 1 person have already at least 5 units of would be willing to sell units...simple maths...if there is only 20 sales pple and each have also 5 units on hand ready to let go....5 x 20 = 100 buyers whom are willing to give up their units at a profit...The development have a total of 300+ units...I think speculation is really getting hot !!!! Price are really being driven up....
