I GOT PINNACLE (ED) @ DUXTON!!!
Can you believe this!!? I got it!! I got it!!! I cannot be more thankful then anyone now!! Its a blessing afterall!! Haha after all that complaints! And now I got a flat at Pinnacle @ Duxton!! Well my appointment as posted before was on the 02 March and queue number was at 500 with only 60 S1 apartments for Chinese quota! My chance to even select a flat looked a gonner back then! I was like monitoring the flats left every few minutes!! And when it was a day before my appointment there were like 26 units left! With not much choices left we choose the one that was the highest at level 14th! Unit is #14-81 !
Above is the floorplan for my new house! Its 95m sq! Bigger then the current one we're residing in! But I guess its due to the planter! :)
There you can see my future unit!! :) Its at BLOCK G! There are 7 blocks in all!! The choices like I said were so little to choose from. Wanted the block 1A which was nearest to Outram MRT but the only available unit was only at 6th floor and 7th floor. Thus after much consideration we selected Block 1G, #14-81.
Today I just went down to HDB to submit the Housing Loan Eligibility form and some other forms. Now the only thing we can do is wait. Wait for HDB to revert back if my loan is successful? This is the crucial part. I am hoping they would loan me the maximum loan of $400K to $450k. With that the monthly will be tough. But had work out with Mum that we will rent out this Jalan Membina flat out and hopefully we can get about $2,000 to $2,200 in rental and pay for Pinnacle. Win Win situation! So I am crossing my fingers now that the HDB loan be approved to the max!! If not, all dream dashed!!
This picture was taken sometime back, there is much more progress up till today! The HDB officer who attended to me told me that we should be able to get the keys on about the 4th Quarter of 2009 which is December 09! I wish it would be true! Infact after reading on the Pinnacle forum, it seems that it was supposed to be handed over about this period to HDB! I guess the economy crisis is taking its toll on construction after-all! The wait is gonna be killing!! Imagine my own house and with such a premier location! This is really a dream home man! Right in the heart of the City! Did not get a high floor but the location of this flat is cool enough! There is a Sky Garden on the 26th and 50th storey! And I heard that it would be resident accessible only?? Can't confirm this yet... If its true! Its Wooo! Condo style man! haha.
Found this picture on the forums! Wooo this is nice man! I would love to have my living rom like this! Simple yet nice and cool!! Modern I guess! On renovation, I had approached an old friend Colin from SWOG. Infact I'll be meeting him tomorrow to do some simple discussion! Budget I guess would be about $35k max?? Probably gonna take a reno loan la. Gotta make this house stand out man!
I am so excited now!! But for now I had told my brother to stop my CPF investment of about $47k which I think left about $40K. Need it for the downpayment!! Whatever it is... Gotta wait for HDB to come back to me on my loan!!!
I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Congratulations! Am happy for ya.. :)
rem the house warming!!
