My first shots with the C700UZ - a glimpse of my neighbourhood's architecture:

And a couple of shots taken at the newly-opened supermarket, TGIO! (Thank God it's open, said my mum, who promptly visited it 4 times on the day it opened for biz.)

Wai · 22nd July 2002

which block u staying? i am moving in really soon..

love those windows..7 big tinted windows in the living room

Zookeeper · 22nd July 2002

Blk 109x, what about you?

Yeah those full-length windows are nice, but right now with lotsa construction going on, they get a bit too dusty for anybody's liking...

sinner1974 · 22nd July 2002

Ya loh... open at last... if not i have to go all the way down to Ecxx... far for me..

The new super market just below my block...

Anybody staying at Block 110A?

So only three of us?

I believe there are more.

Zookeeper · 23rd July 2002

I really really hope the MRT/LRT gets up soon. Travelling is a real pain, my whole family literally depends on my dad to ferry us. Buses are a nightmare....45 mins to AMK, not even talking about town....

pker88 · 23rd July 2002

ya lor although me live at sengkang is also far for me too
to AMK is also 45mins too hehe

u guys living in punggol 21 ah?
i cycle there before not bad but abit ulu lor

any ting new in punggol 21? like new shop opened me being ther a few time but dunno where got shops he

Zookeeper · 23rd July 2002

It's still pretty ulu. The most "bustling" area would be Blk 199, where the Econ minimart, coffeeshop, clinic, Kimage hairdressing and bookshop, etc is. That has been open for quite some time liow. And then there's the Prime Supermart which recently opened for biz. That's all loh. Dun even have ATM machine...:P....

Wai · 23rd July 2002

I will be moving to Blk 176 in these few weeks (which is a rented flat for temporary staying) until end of the year when Blk 166 is ready

dunno why my block build so much slower than others...probably this is the first batch of flat that uses a design similar (some said even better) than condo.

what i worry most is transportation...the only bus that go to my place is Bus 82 or 83, i also worry that SCV is not ready at my block

wildhoney · 23rd July 2002

are those HDB flats or condo/private apts?

where is punggol 21?
near hougang?
near sengkang?
near sembawang?

any gym/sports hall/track?

Zookeeper · 23rd July 2002

- Those are HDB flats.

- Right next to Sengkang (separated by only an expressway (like Ang mo kio is next to Bishan)

- No facilities yet (only gardens, park areas) but there will be in the future when it's a full-fledged town. Supposed to be a model town, as promised by the govt, complete with seaside entertainment at Punggol end....but goodness knows when these will materialise lah...

sinner1974 · 23rd July 2002

gotta wait for a long long time for all this to materialise..sigh....

I just pray hard that the LRT and MRT will be ready "soon"...

sinner1974 · 23rd July 2002

izzit? end of this year?

not too sure leh....

Wai · 24th July 2002

this is two of the hundreds of shots that i taken at punggol for the past year, all taken with Sony F707

hope yunling dun mind if i post them here?

Sea view...hopefully my room can see the sea

LRT is almost completed now...but my block quite ulu...notice that there some pple staying at the opposite bank of the river? there are some interesting building there too...i tried to get to the opposite bank but failed

After more than a year...my block still under construction...the progress is the slowest among all the other blocks

Zookeeper · 24th July 2002

Of course I don't mind, post, post!

Actually I've noticed that construction progress (excluding LRT works) has slowed to a crawl since a few months ago, dunno why. Maybe because supply has outstripped demand, so they dunwan to build too fast and over-increase the supply again?

my block actaully expect to be completed in Sept...however, we got a letter saying that it will be delayed to March!!

but anyway, i will still move to Blk 176 and stay there until my block is ready

longkang??? cant u see the ship?

Teo · 28th July 2002

Me too staying at SengKang since 2 years ago. Understand all the inconvenience that the residents faced. What to do? for a new town to develop is not an over night thing. Sometimes you need to bear with the noisy jet plane zooming as late as 9pm!!!

Can't imagine with so many schools around but not a single theatre for leisure or wet market for the residents???

Guess got to stop here else the list will go on and on .........
