drying laundry is the easy part... just use the dryer machine.. after living through so many years of life in an oven baked environment, i will never follow my parents footstep & go for the high floors - i do not want to go through the next 60,80 years of my life where i immediately sweat after just 1 minute out of the bathroom... the heat & sweat is no joke for high floors - super jialat.. ah well just hope i can select my low floor units on 2 jan 2013..

Your selection date is 2nd Jan2013????super long sia..you should be able to get ground floor unit too!lol

knock down the wall, when cooking the dinning room will it be oily ???

Open concept kitchen is not for Asian cooking, just my 2 cents. Your kitchen need to be well-maintained, tip top condition if you wish to adopt this concept. Else , keep the wall & make a door.

I think you can select on their behalf. Because both units must be chosen at the same time.

I'm looking at CSC too! Doubt there's much chances since my appt date seem to be the last few.

can knock down anot arh. I read the HDB reno guidlines like cannot knock down. Best if can, so can extend the kitchen.

Confirm can knock, but need to apply permit from HDB and hire "qualified person" to oversee it.

Want to extend my kitchen so will be knocking it down.
Not worried about drying clothing as I will be getting a laundry dryer.

Definitely, a open concept kitchen will be oily and all if you deep fry stuff regularly.
However, with normal cooking and constant simple maintenance, should be alright de. I'm used to it so it isn't that bad.
Just need to get a deep fryer to deep fry food.
Good also lah, avoid unhealthy food mah. LOL!

Open concept is good stuff...just need to get a good cooker hood!

Ya man..that's very important.
And of course, no deep frying, frying fish or salted fish!

The open kitchen concept, I do like very much.
I only pray that the kitchen will be wide enough.

I thought of that too! Esp after seeing 2 of my frenz do that. But the price also very 'crass' man.

As in, I applied to live near them using MCPS within 2km. Not together in the same project or with them. But for the selection process I know I need to bring their ICs and marriage certs and my birth certs. It doesn't state i need to bring them. Can I safely assume that I just need documents and not their physical presence?
