As mentioned in the earlier post, we have decided to book our EA at compassvale street. almost all the units offered in these cluster of 10 blks were EA except for one 5-rm high floor unit which was re-purchased. of coz, the blks nearer to the LRT station offered lesser units. but i was surprised dat it was the units further in dat were more expensive. huh???

looking at the flat list, any units above the 5th floor cost more den $300k. since we both do not have any preference on high or low floor. we decided to stick within the 2nd-5th floor. otherwise, the monthly loan payment will sure set us back by more den $1k. though my hubby n i had abt $100k in our CPF, we'd decided to park abt $20k in CPF investments juz in case of rainy days (touch wood!!). if every single cent were to be left in our CPF OA (ordinary account), it will be wiped out once we collected the keys and sign the lease agreement.

since our appointment date was on the first day of selection, it also meant dat we oni haf two nites (06-07nov) to look around SK and decide on our choice unit. on both nites, we left my place ard 9pm n return home oni aft midnite.

the 1st nite, we oni went to the first 3 blks near the front. roughly noting down which units were better. our criteria was dat the corridor muz nt be too messy, neighbours nt owing $$ to loansharks (saw 2 units dat has been splashed with paint, one even removed it's unit no.) & one more secret criteria.

the 2nd nite, we went around the first 3 blks plus another 4 blks. did not want to check our the remaining 3 blks rite at the back.

reason no. 1 - i dun like the layout of the units.
reason no. 2 - oni two top floor EA units were taken. fm downstairs look-up abit scary to mi.

end of our rounds, we've shortlisted 10units in the 4 blks nearer to the LRT and expressway. 2 units were on the 7th & 8th floor though i mentioned earlier dat no units above 5th floor. of coz, it was the last two choices/ i told hubby confirm will get our first choice unit coz most ppl sure aimed at the 4-rms & 5-rms.

one thing i find veri cool abt the kitchens of these EAs was dat it has two entrances. some ppl said its bad FS but it really into this, so i'm find with dat/ can play hide-n-seek liao. haha. also, it has both service yard & balcony which is very rare in the new flats nowadays.
