[semblady123]

to those still waiting to choose for semb/Canberra.. go have a look at these flats that I shortlisted and keep the list before going today.. diff ppl different preference.. but I had these In mind la.. in terms of location/direction/wind/ blabla...

CAnberra
129C 03-592 (low unit but quiet and peaceful..facing the quiet industrial area side...windy cos this side is open area and no construction will take place ever...i was planning to choose this if my choice was taken today)
107B 15-587 (WINDY) SOUTH FACING
121B 13-723/14-723.. .I think North facing...
121C 11-735 (corner unit, immediately close to 2 other units) Maybe east facing cos my compass point to between east & south


Sembawang

362B
7/12/13/14/15 - 833 ( right beside lift but facing the cp side.. better than the other units in the blk

362A is ok too.. but mrt sound is toooooooo loud even on 14th storey..


Ok that's all...

Also semb? Ok pls take a look at 362B if you can... and also 121B (IF its still available till next week)... 363A also not bad BUT all units right beside lift/rubbish chute.. those beside chute ok la.. cos all these units are spacious and lots of space in between each units... for me best bet is still 362B... once the park is open then it wont be so dark also.

i had frds that balloted so many times never get a Q number with range

I think you are referring to me and maybe I can explain my stand.
Not everyone who ballot under sobf is desperate for a unit and everyone has the right to decide how they want their ballot chance to be used. I’ve balloted 4 times without a queue number prior to this exercise and I do understand the frustration.

However, having stayed in this estate for my SO and my entire lifetime, there’s definitely a reason why the remaining units doesn’t appeal to us, thus giving up our chance.

Thanks for the kind reply .
Despite being sick I went site visit again justnnow and first time passed by sun Breeze
Looked so bright there but didn’t enter there cos scared to get confused again hehe
Sun natura is good enough for now I Guess

Hey semblady the other day I went walk walk at Sun Natura which is the estate you mention opposite the MRT track.. Discover the walking path from the car park entrance between Natura and Breeze got direct path to Ark@Gambas.. Level 1 got one canteen.... So it's not as bad as I thought. Although I don't know when the shops gonna open, at least the industrial factory still got canteen so you guys can still go there buy food.. But it's not open on weekend though.

3room or 4room ?

[semblady123]

Wow cool la. I didn’t know got through road to Ark. nice
Also they will open Fairprice and eating place in between 362A and 363A
The small building there.. so that area not bad also will develop well soon..
Just that sun natura is more spacious than Breeze
But Breeze is brighter at night cos of the park lights
But soon thy gonna open park in front of 362A also ..

Hi all
For FF flats I know it’s floor finish
But it’s the finish that the previous owner selected during their flat selection is it?
We can only check the floor once we got the keys right ?

Yes, that's right. Its the one selected by the previous owner. And ya, will only be able to check once you get your keys

Did the unit you chose have floor finish already?

I think someone mentioned before in another thread that you can check when booking with the officer. I'm not sure though, the units that were offered in RoF didn't come with any OCS components.
