Happy Deepavali to all who celebrate it today. Its been sounding like a mini warzone tonight but who can fault them for celebrating?
I wanted to join in the celebration but have nothing now in inventory.
My neighbour too wanted to join in but the 6 x 250 shots barrage that my neighbours have shall remain sealed until a certain month
in Q1 next year.

Guys, even if there was quota, the developer can apply to remove it or to add on when required.
Plus, the quota does not apply to subsales so one can still buy resale/subsale into a desired development
where previously the quota was met.
I know Taman Laguna was very reluctant to raise the quota. Nusa Duta's boss (bless his good soul) was very
reluctant to raise the prices more because he wanted to see more of his fellow Malaysians getting a good
home.
Ah, hearing the sweet explosions and smell of gunpower in the air. Nice except it disturbs the wife and kids. I definitely don't mind it though, listening to strains of 92.4 FM and hearing the odd firework and rumbling of distant thunder is nice. Even on a stormy night like this, some never fail to entertain with their spectactular fireworks.
The familiar smell of burnt gunpower in the air, mmmmm.

The question then should be, why wait?
"Xiang dao da ming tian, xian zai jiu yao qi cheng"
If you want to reach tomorrow, you must start the travel now.

Thanks for some of your PMs.
I am glad you guys are surviving here well and making the best of things, i am really happy for you.
There is no one to thank but yourself and i am glad you guys made the right decision. I know it wasn't easy,
making your own way in choppy waters amidst the fears and the lies that clouded the way.
No meals or coffee is required but some of you have been very kind, thank you to one especially for doing
something very unexpected for me.
I am very touched by the very kind gesture and will definitely not forget it.

TIME FOR REALITY CHECK !
I feel like beating up the UEM Management after reading this. Another thing that pissed me off is they have failed to stop some residents from modifying their house in a super ugly manner, despite the fact that everyone signs a covenant. I visit the construction site at least once a month, i have never seen a local foreman supervising the workers in all my visits. 100% FTs at work. How do you expect quality control? In the end.. you can only HOPE the bunch of workers do not stuff empty coca-cola bottles into your walls.
The only consolation is we bought these properties early, hence i would say... just add 5% to your house price for putting it into decent condition. I dare say, none of the developer in JB are responsible enough to upkeep their reputation. Sadly, these are some of the pitfalls in a less advance countries. We know very well this even happen in Singapore with FEO and some other developers... but there is yet to be any CDL in MY.

Ya pricy and need power? I am currently away and when I return I will try the compost bim like what my friend had said before. I did bury some food waste before in the garden and I found that the area that i dug is more fertile than the other spot. Will continue that when I get back and also will try to compost with food waste in the bin. I will place it at my yard.
Cheers

As far as I know n to my knowledge, LF showhouses were built by "their contractor" they were not paid till the show house were sold. Guess that's why, the contractor are so eager to please the buyer, to immediately do up their rectification work as fast as they wanting their money to be in. Thought that was a very smart move. As LF don have to b too concern of the workmanship.

That explained why the boss of the contractor comapny, personally called on me after I collected my keys, passed me his hp no. and walked with me to do an inspection of my house. His foreman was stationed here for over 18 months with a few experienced workers. That was the length of warranty period. He himself had to drive back and forth from LF to KL, where he has other projects with the same developer. Really tight him down to get satisfied result.

Well I dare say Tanah Sutera (Capital Land JV) is quite responsible. After got my house for 3 years already and have no complain on cracks, leakages. We were surprised when they come and upgrade/ waterproofing our toilets drainage system last month for free! They say that this is to prevent future water leakage and it supposed to last 40 to 50 years! Now this is how the work is carried out over the weekend for 4 days. First they hack away loose concrete around the drainage hole. Next the apply a few coats of black water proofing compound (take a few days between coats to dry). Lastly they plug the pipe with a small ball, filled the toilet with water about 1-2 inch of water. Next day the supervisor and owner inspect the toilet for any sign of leakage. (If water is drained off mean waterproofing is not working). All 3 toilets upstair , they say cost about 500 buck a toilet to do the job , all for free.

Emery Point condominium residents have filed a suit against listed property developer City Developments Limited (CDL), the main contractors, five subcontractors and the architect, due to many building defects.
The condo's management operation (representing the owners) is claiming approximately S$600,000 in compensation to resolve defects in 17 areas.
These include cracks in walls, lift lobby ceilings damaged by rainwater and a leaking basement carpark, which is situated below a swimming pool.
Opening in the High Court on Monday, the lawsuit is fixed for a 10-day hearing.
Located at Ipoh Lane in the Tanjong Katong area, Emery Point is an 18-storey block of 51 units. The freehold project was completed in 2003 and fully sold in 2007.
Leo Cheng Suan, the lawyer representing the condo owners, said in his opening statement that CDL was aware of the defects. "The plaintiffs are extremely disappointed that CDL, being a public-listed company, did not live up to its social responsibility to build quality homes."
There is Sunway Development in Malaysia, a top quality developer whom was bought over by UEM recently. Any development is bound to have defects and I was believe in luck, whether you are lucky to have a good unit or not. Just like a brand new car, even Mercedes have its flaws too.

Wah, when you said the sales lady, sitting down with you, chit chatting for hours talking about anything under the sun... Wah, this is what I call life..
Everyone has their own preferences.. Some people like to live in Orchard Road, amidst the heavy traffics and crowds and some people love to live near Katong, with the rustic feel of sea breeze and swaying coconut trees.. and some people like to live in Geylang, for the convenience and choice of good foods...
I love Horizon Hills for the theme but hate the ideas of renovation works.(but sure that problem will be resolved soon).. LF seemed to be more homely.. Maybe I am looking for something that I found missing in Singapore.. everyone is so busy and our conversation with neighbours barely last more than 5-10min.. and i miss the sounds of birds, insects, fireworks etc are all the things that many Singaporeans are unfamiliar with.
I need to visit LF show house one day.. maybe get a smaller townhouse? but again.. I have no time to have so many wifes... no time to visit.. and don't wish to rent them out to strangers...
