«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 2397 Newer› Newest»Can anyone provide me the location of LSS Electrical Sdn Bhd in Penang Island ? Can't seem to find it in the yellow pages.
Thanks.
Hi Ciplak,
Last year, I bought the Panasonic 29 inch TV and inverter fridge from SEC Dato Keramat and 3 sets of free gifts from Panasonic too. Different SEC outlets give different discount. You got to do a survey before you place your order.
Advantages of buying from the same shop is you have more bargaining power and you are able to get more free gifts too.
You can buy from the wholeseller. They are able to give better rate.
I have a colleague who would like to buy it during Jusco member sale day. He just bought a Sony LCD TV 32 inch in May. We realised that the price given by Jusco is the cheapest compare to all other electrical shop. On top of that as every RM100 you buy you will have RM5 or RM10 vouchers. Besides that, you will get extra warranty period. I heard my colleague gets additonal 4 year warranty for his LCD TV so he gets total 5 years warranty from Sony. The most important you can have 0% interest free.
I think the most important things to survey is kitchen cabinets, glass hood & hob and plaster ceiling. Electrical items like TV, fridge, oven, etc is not that important as price for those items will be cheaper when the time you move in. Electrical items same like computer items...depreciate very fast as there are new models coming out. As for lighting, I will said that it depends on individual preference. As for me, I prefer to start doing survey once I had confirm and know how I want to design my house. I believe there will be more choices towards the year end. However, I do go around to take alook if I am free.
Sorry, I am very blur. Where can i find whole seller ?. Can you please recommend afew ?. Thanks.
180k Pls go to buy ocean view or serina bay. Here is 320k ++. Ok
The HOME SHOW FAIR is nothing to see.. so dissapointed la..
But the food fair is nice :)
Oceanview is already 200k lo.....
Any plaster ceiling link that can share?
I received quotation from GCF at RM12K for Melamine board while MDF board is at RM14K.
For those who interested to look for plaster ceiling...I will highly recommend Proplaster (Pg) S/B at 161, Jalan Sungai Pinang, 10150 Penang. Contact number is 04-2822091.
Fyi, the price of the plaster ceiling will increase from 1 July 2008. Thus, whatever price that you get now might be higher by the time your OC obtain.
Hi Ciplak,
Have you got the quotaion from Verra Kitchen? I got the latest quotation today and it's ard RM16K for melamine board.
Fyi: ~chipboard/paicleboard/Melamine Board
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_board
~MDF or MDFB
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard
hi all bloggers,
i havent received any quotations from any kitchen designers yet but i have received my EPF payment though :-) damn efficient la..gonna praise them in The Star newspaper soon :-)
Hi Andrea,
so ru going for MDF, MDFB, Ply or Melamine?
from what i gathered at wikipedia, there's humidity resistance MDF grade as well.. do u think Verra has it?
i'll call up GCF, Brano & Verra today to ask for my quotation and thanks for the plaster ceiling contact.. :-)
didnt go to PISA as planned so i hope i didnt miss out anything interesting :-P
btw, i attached here one chinese blog on Bayswater unit with plaster ceiling etc.. perhaps we can get some hints on ID from there.. i don't know how to read chinese characters so i jz look at the pics :-P
http://cforum004.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?tid=875675&extra=page%3D1
-ciplak @ C14-
Hi Ciplak,
Today is the last day sale at GCF...how come they haven't get your quotation ready?
Steve from Verra Kitchen is on leave today. However, I heard that your quotation is ready and waiting for you to view it.
Fyi, Verra Kitchen does not have the MDF Matt. They only have melamine or arcylic.
Hi Ciplak
U didnt miss anything. That fair is mainly food fair..not the very grand in home show far. I can say i am very dissapointed lor...
Sigh.... looks like it all in all the renovation will cost at least RM50K.
Furniture, electrical items, kitchen, plasters, lightings, door & window grills, etc...
Anyone know where to loan $$$ ?
Yes go to Tai Yi Long(Loan Shark), you can find their contact at any roadside :)
personal loan from banks.
LSS is in both Farlim ( smaller outlet) and Batu Maung ( warehouse)
Hi Ciplak,
I will go for melamine instead of MDF.
Fyi, those who want to make comparison between melamine and MDF:-
http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/MDF_versus_particleboard.html
hi Andrea,
yup, i did call up Verra & they said its ready & i will b reviewing d quotation with them this Thu :-) but as for GCF, i called d contact person & its either not ready (more than 2wks already) or they're still in d midst of preparing it..hmmm... they'll call me back soon though..
after going thru d website u recommended, i surmised that melamine is only used as external layer of certain construction and not as a whole. so i guess Verra is using melamine as external layer with particle board base right?
if using MDF, then they can exclude the melamine layer and paint over the surface instead.
btw Andrea & all regular bloggers,
need advise since this is my 1st hse & i'm not sure what else we have to pay for besides the following basic items:
1) Additional wiring & sockets
2) Kitchen
3) Furniture
4) Plaster & ID
5) Piping (if applicable)
6) Metal grill door (before main door)
7) 3 months of condo service charge
8) d/payment for phone, electricity, water
9) Lighting
10) Electrical appliances
anything else i left out?
-ciplak @ C14-
Ciplak,
11) Reno deposit
12) Floor tiles skirting
And do remember to buy extra tiles from IJM for your unit. If you are planning to hack walls, this is very important coz after the remaining tiles that IJM has has finished & when you order a new shipment, the color will be off by quite a margin.
BW
Not sure whether you want to include this:
Gotta allocate quite some amount of your budget when The Spring got strata title. Not sure when will it be done, but that's the money that we have to prepare :)
~ Amy ~
Wah... so much money got to prepare... Sigh...
How how how ??? CRY CRY CRY...
sell yur unit ler..save you de misery :)
Hi Vincent
Can u left ur contact no#..I am looking for contractor for reno but not for the spring
Thanks
Hi Spring residents,
The OC has been obtained? Why is everyone busy scouting for renovation stuff?? I tot it will be nex year sumwhere around CNY?
My contact is 016 5533421
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Vincent
To Ciplak@C14,
The blog that you posted from Chinese Cari is my house.So surprising that someone even share it over here
Those who is interested to do house renovation and kitchen cabinets...you may call Mr Lim Heng @ 019-4464519.
He owns a factory and his own designer. Thus, he will be able to charge you at the reasonable price.
Hi BW,
thanks for sharing..missed those 2 points. do u happen to know how much is the deposit for reno?
example: kitchen is 10%-40%-40%-10%
do u have any contacts for plaster & ID to recommend?
Hi Amy,
i know about the master to strata title change but according to the lawyer, it won't happen that fast yet :-|
Hi anonymous,
we're looking for all these stuff from now on cos at least we can do some budgeting & also, hopefully we can get d best deal thru exchange of contacts here..
hi "go back family-xx-le" (sorry, i can recognise simple Chinese characters only :-P),
u hv very nicely decorated house..took some cues from there and will most likely implement some of the concepts :-) i like the "sun-like" spotlight you placed in one of your room.. mind sharing the contacts here? i also noticed that you bought the adjustable head-rest couch from Kamay :-)
Hi Andrea,
thanks for sharing the contacts..i'll be discussing with Verra on the kitchen by this week..i assume u got it from Verra as well since you chose melamine cabinets :-)
-ciplak @ C14-
btw, "go back family-xx-le", you do check out The Spring blog as well huh :-)
would be good if you can share your experiences in house renovation and etc
-ciplak @ C14-
To ciplak,
My neighbour told me someone mentioned my thread at this blog. :-)
In fact, my house is a show unit.
Ciplak,
I meant reno deposit that you have to give IJM in order to start your renovation.
Reno payment depends on contractors.
There are many IDs who left their contacts here.
If it's not enough for you, then give me your email. Will send mail to you.
BW
BW
Can i have the reno contact,
I am not the onwer for The Spring but looking for renovation for my house
Thanks
Miss M
Dear bloggers,
Next week is MAPEX exhibition in PISA. Propose we go check out how the crowd response is and how other projects fare against our Spring. Would be a great opportunity to meet up and discuss and also meet the andrea, ciplak, chin eng, etc in real life ... ha ha!
I am lost. What is MAPEX ?. What does it stands for ?
Anyway I'll be there. Iam the one with the yellow rose.
small boy
malaysian property expo la... remember to bring yur mum along so small boys like you dun get lost.. :)
Opps...I will not be able to attend the MAPEX fair next week as I will be going down to IKEA. Anyway, do update me about the MAPEX fair. Thanks in advance. Good luck and have fun in meeting up each another.
wah spring photo already put on this blog :)
Wow! Pass by Spring just now and the carpark was half lit up ...really beautiful!
Admin,
I have some photos but what is your email address ?
Thanks.
apartmentpenang@gmail.com
Wif wire type of fence, The Spring not look like Condo style BUT look like juz Apartment 0r Flat.. Cheap n ijm lie to you all guys. you paid for RM300k above but wat you all get juz a cheapest material for your Expensive Condo...
:(
whdn take a oc thanks ?
for information MAPEX is held in moral uplifting macalister road instead of in PISA.
Please refer www.fullhouse.com.my
more photos please :)
aahhhh, i see it now that the pictures are put up. the famous fence that everyone is talking about. yeah, they should do something about it, it does look cheap. unless they are planning a retro look like the fencing in the 60s!!!:)
another property fair? the last one was disappointing though i book the kitchen unit by cucina. who has the money to buy now everything so expensive? hardly any new launches now. or are they just trying to get rid of unsold units?
oceanview a bit low class now la, unless you find the sight of clothes being hung EVERYWHERE in the adjacent low cost project appealing.
thanks for the heads up on MAPEX being in Moral Uplifting society rather than PISA. I tink MAPEX should be more lau juak coz its a state level national event whereas the private property fair last 2 weeks is a smaller scale one with selected developers nia..
hi,
u may want to check out the electrical shop at Rangoon Rd. The shop name is Tan Chong (something like that). It's closed on Sunday. Happy bargaining n shopping!!
hi all,
sorry but i dun think i will go to MAPEX cos in my opinion (i don't know bout u guys/girls), The Spring is my own first property so it doesnt matter if its hot or not as long as i like the place which i bought using my own hard earned money :-)
in any case, we can meet up when we set up our own management committee right?
went pass The Spring quite frequently of late & i must admit that its lovely when they lighted up the car park & inner side of the main building..
btw Mr Admin & Mr Anonymous who took the photo,
Thanks a bunch for the updated photos but it would be better if there're some comments on the pics such as "bathroom","view from A-type balcony" or etc.
i think the pics are taken from A-type facing jetty side right?
hi usual bloggers,
any updates? been rather quietly lately :-) i'm waiting for IJM to send me a notice to pay up 55% of the house price anytime soon.. cos 60days notice is almost up..
-ciplak @ C14-
hi BW,
would greatly appreciate it if you could email the contacts of yr renovators (kitchen, hall, wiring, piping etc) to the following email address.
thanks a bunch
ciplak_me@yahoo.com
-ciplak @ C14-
testing to see if my comments can go thru.. i've posted 2 entries earlier without realising that there's a new rule for this blog site...
-ciplak @ C14-
Ciplak,
I think the photos were taken from the C-Type unit. Notice the 90-angled window area in 1 of the bedrooms. And also the main door which is facing the balcony. :)
I'll send you the contacts later.
BW
hi BW,
i realised that as well :-D
yay...so tats how my unit looks like.. :-)
thanks.. will check my email in awhile..
-ciplak @ C14-
Anyone with Type E unit photo of their unit and view please share :)
Anyone with Type F unit photo of their unit and view please share :)
JANE
Oh my God, Jane u copycat ! :)
I thought I double post.....hahahhaa
Dear All,
I am very interested in the Spring and in the midst of negotiating on a sub-sale. I want to get a second opinion on the legality of the sub-sale of leasehold property which is under construction.
1) Under our law, Do we need to get developer's consent for a subsale? I heard from certain lawyers a developer's consent is not necessary now. Only the state consent is required becos of leasehold.
2) Can i apply for loan in this scenario?
Please advise!
Dear Dark Knight,
May I ask you some questions ? Hope you don't mind.
How much are you purchasing and what is the unit type ?
If the unit is what I have, I maybe able to offer you a better deal.
~spring owner~
I also have one Unit.

dear all,
IKEA SALE! from 24jul-17aug.
Today had visited the place. The Elevator have digital LCR display. all the repair work still on going... the scenery from Top floor is very nice.
But the fencing look still feel unaccepted...any new from IJM when to replace it????
Hi Spring regulars (ciplak, andrea, 3am, chin eng....and gang... sorry if i missed out anyone)
I understand that the latest update on obtaining OC is prior to CNY. And it appears to me that some of you has already paid the deposit on kitchen works.
I was at both gcf & signature kitchen. Was thinking of doing the same as u guys in order to lock in the price before it escalates.
However according to both companies they say price lock-in is only valid for 2 weeks, unless I'm willing to pay in full now. Besides, they cant really give an exact quotation without physically measuring your apartment kitchen dimension. Of course they can proceed to doing it, but you'll have to bear the risk if the kitchen cabinet doesnt fits. Seems like a big risk to me...
So the qns is.... how u guys done it? Besides, if OC is really forth coming just before CNY, tht's still SIX MONTHS to go. I'm really puzzled... care to shed a light on this?
what is digital LCR ?. Did you take some pictures ?. Pls share la if you have...
THANKS.
small boy.
hi all,
IKEA sales is just at the right time :-D might go there within this month to grab some small non-essential items first :-P not to mention their free flow coffee & yummy cakes..hahahaha...
Hi Amy & all usual bloggers,
did IJM or your banker send any mails requiring u to pay up to 55% of the loan amount already? i havent received that kind of mail yet.. but 60days grace period should be up anytime soon (at least for me :-))
Hi Myx,
FYI, i'm still pondering over my quotations cos to me, its still rather early..but i'm having the same dilemma as you are.. all kitchen makers said almost the same thing.. in which we have to pay 30% ~ 40% to lock in the price first.. but to tell u the truth, i'm still sitting on my hands as of now.. 30% ~ 40% is not a small amount of money mind you :-)
but according to those makers, deadline will be by end of July.. decisions decisions.. arrgghhh...
hi anonymous who've posted about the LCD screen in the lift,
how you managed to "sneak" into the site? can take more pics if you have the chance ah?..hehehe
i hope we'll have the same LCD thingy in our individual unit ala Bayswater.. then it'll be uber cool.. :-D
-ciplak @ C14-
btw, did any of u heard anything about increase in BLR? any hearsay or Astro will be greatly appreciated..thanks
btw, did u guys/girls noticed the ceiling type used in the bathroom? (refer to the photos pasted here) can it withstand high humidity environment? or can we remove it to make it look "naked" such as ceiling of Tesco and Jusco?
-ciplak @ C14-
Ciplak,
What do you wanna do in the bathroom that requires high humidity? :p
Nowadays all bathrooms come with that type of ceiling. You wouldn't want to remove that. Else you'll be seeing all the piping & other stuff. Not a good sight.
BW
hi all,
i jz happen to notice that PG1 condo (Pesiaran Gurney 1).. the one beside 11 Gurney is using almost similar type of fencing as The Spring. i wonder why no one complained about the fence. it looks quite nice especially with shrubs & trees planted beside and around the fence...
Hi BW,
of cos i'll take bath in bathroom :-P what i'm trying to say is.. can those ceiling boards withstand high humidity? will it flake or soften when in contact with water?
-ciplak @ C14-
Hi, ciplak,
No, I haven't get any notice from bank/lawyer about releasing money to the developer. Well, I think we need to take the initiative to contact with our agent/bank to know about the status. I'm going to do so this week since it's already middle of the month.
~ Amy ~
We can only know how much interest rate will go up on the 25 July 2008 when our Bank Negara meets.
Analysis' say that the increase is inevitable but the increase will not be much.
~Chin Eng~
Do somebody know that what is the rental for the spring high floor? I hear my agent ask for RM1600 per month, any less than that?
Alex
wah..rental also out liao :)
Ya gigi, i thought Alex was meet a bulk buyer owner at the beginning. So, I go to check with my friend who become as an house agent. He said with the spring housing price, the rental of RM1500 consider reasonable lo & it may be shoot up after everything is complete.
I was agreeing with him also, as I foresee now near the beach side, it was very similar with Gurney Park. A lot of Chinese walk a round they & they was a police car stay they to keep the place safe. Looks great! Maybe you guys should have a look at night.
Chua Agilent
Yep. RM1500 per mth is consider cheap. People are already paying rental RM900 per mth for Serina Bay.
Bi Lien
Genvieve Goay what floor is your unit. How much are you selling. I am interested in buying a unit. Other that is interested to sell their unit please contact me at dpylow@yahoo.co.uk. I am a keen buyer.
rental with RM1500 is refer to full furnisture or unfurnisture?
I dunno about the market rental price in penang.
spring location nice no doubt..but hope wont get hawkers etc selling food outside the area..know la people come to jalan2, makan angin..next thing u know hawker stalls etc...malaysia boleh style..know what i mean
It will become another new gurney definately. I believe that the spring price will increase again....my god...!
To all blog visitor: my advice is to purchase a complete house better than for others still under construction, not much worry even the recession is coming...just BLR. Anyway, it can earn back from the house appreciation. You can see now, everything is increase, you get a house for yourseld earlier, you are more safe.
~RM360K at penang is consider normal, soon you will know what i try to say here if you still not yet get a house...(not only applicable for "The Spring")
Simon Teoh
yeah... this place is great but not like the one in Gurney Drive. Gurney is LUXURY living, Bandar Seri Pinang is LOW COST living. It is more like a new Padang Kota Lama rather the Gurney Drive. Very good place for fishing and roman...
Hi guys, may i know who will offer a better price for rent?
I am looking for type A 10 floor above, and plan can move in once the constuction complete.
i hope i can rent less than 1k per month, without furnish is ok. Please leave your email add. Thanks!
To upper Anonymous, you need to wait until everything is complete, then you can know the rental la! I believe you are very hard to get 1k per month...:p
I was ask a lot of agent....all of then said most probably will more than.......1K/month...ai.....
< 1k per month? dream on la brudder... should be at least RM1500 above for furnished.
Simon,
I agree with you on the hawkers thingy but i wish they can set up some classy eating outlet like ASIA CAFE in Air Itam, with good furnishing, landscape and LCD tvs.. But if they end up building one like super tanker in Lip Sin ..cialat liao oh....
Springster,
You guys are dreaming
i had received the 55% progress billing as well as the subsequent 10%. Total payment is 75% of my purchase price.So, I think by the next schedule payment, we are at the VP stage. Thus, please be prepared to get your key soon.
cywee
Correction:
After checking my S&P, it is actually 55% + the subsequent 5%. Total up is 70% (10% + 55% + 5%), which means 2 more payments to go (5% + 5%) before VP.
cywee
Springster,
Please la, beside dream those springster still sleeping. Trying to compare gurney drive environment with the reclaimed land environment. Along gurney drive, where got low cost flat!!!! Rm1600 rental per month. BUbble!!!
My fren,
The rental for apartments along Gurney is around RM3K to 6K. So, for spring, RM1.5K rental is reasonable. As what i previously said, rental for serina bay is already RM900.
Anyway, who can predict the future ?. and one must always dream to be motivated. Without dream or vision, there will be no improvement.
Well, by buying spring, my dream did come true. ! It is my childhood dream.
Bi Lien
Hello All,
No need to argue here. My advice is you can refer to market trend for the rental.
If the house "normal" not like bayswater..it's too hot. The rental for a house is 5% per year.
Say, now the spring is about RM320K, 5% per year is about RM16K, &.....it's about RM1333 per month...so, RM1500 per month, you may judge yourself...high floor? Low floor? Reno?...Thanks!
Wan Wan
RM1.5? for rental the spring?... hahaha... no view n dump site area, not worth it. RM900/- below ok lor... hahahaha... dreaming.
sam
haiya....talk so much for what? All this depend on the owner & people who want to rent? Just deal or no deal.
Sound funny they are two party is fighting here....the spring owner & the people who failed to get the spring...hehe!
I am interested to stay at the spring as i feel that it is convinient to me. So, most probably will rent a room only...ha...
Alex
1500 for mthly rental, halo, wake up la, okay?? who will spend $$ to live in a place where surronding by bad smell, buring smoke and low cost flats...haiyo, 1000 also consider not worth for this medium cost apartment oleli lo, somemore no facility, location wise oso suck, like other anonymous comment: 'dream la'
Ha....another loser who can get the spring.
To the write who mentioned "It is my childhood dream."
Wah.. u can predict IJM will build a Spring in that area when u are small.. u really geng wor.
No matter the writer is from spring owner nor neither...rental 1.5K is ridiculus...
There are inconvinient at all..The area in Sungai Dua USM is realy convinient...
i wondering why this blog allow write in bad word "sxck". this is all predictions, possibility always there. so loser and winner plz come back after after few months to prove your prediction.No need to keep argu here. please save it.
well, i am not the spring owner and just interest to the blog on Oasis and the spring only.
T.S. vs O.
hi cwyee and all usual bloggers,
how should we proceed with the additional 55% + 5% progress billing? should we wait for lawyer/IJM to initiate the request to our banker or we should be proactive & ask the banker beforehand?
Hi Bi Lien,
I would suggest that u don't draw yourself into unnecessary debate here. Its not like we owe them a living or they can dictate their thoughts on us. its our house whether they like it or not.. so cool off ya :-)
IMHO, its definately amusing to read thru all the blog entries cos up till now there're still people who're too free to post such negative remarks.. please stop disgracing your goodself in public blogspots like this.. i would suggest those naysayers to grow up and go do some beneficial work instead of posting nonsense here..period.
-ciplak @ C14-
To T.S,
I am definitely agreed with you. So sad to see “the spring” owner & people who unable to get the spring unit are argue here. This situation is just same as before spring launch, a lot of bad comment, but the price is keep increase is a fact….think twice!
I am actually Ixora height owner, so i am dammed bad luck....! Besides, I agreed with Wan Wan also, the rental is 5% per annum in the market. You can calculate it if you still rent a house.
Hi the spring owner, congratulation...you just need to face BLR rate increase (~0.5%). No need to worry about the construction. I was go to property fair at pisa, just one or two new project at Penang...the rest is the same as previous project (Dunno able to complete or not….like ixora height)…:<
Hi All,
Anyone of you know where can we get cheaper electrical product(Air Cond, Water Heater, Fan, Lighting) in Penang Area ? Or any website to intro?
Thanks in advance.
walau..Return of the Sore Losers! Ha Ha! Last time condemn bulk buying..then condemn soft launch..then condemn price increase..now condemn rental pula? cant blame them leh..other projects all nuthin left to comment. fighting for survival nia.
Hi Ciplak,
I believe you would have received 2letters from IJM...one required 55%and the other one required 5% by now. You should be more initiative or proactive by chasing your lawyer to instruct tha banker to pay the loan. To be safer, check with your bank officer too.
To be honest, not every legal firm who will be nice to keep track on the due date for you all. Most of the time...it will end up customer will be penalty for late payment. When you ask your lawyer, your lawyer will put the blame on your bank that release the money slow. So better check it out yourself and insist the banker to issue the letter to confirm that they have release the money to the developer. In the letter, they will indicate how much you need to pay for your monthly installent and when you need to start paying for your installment.
sometime they really boring to comment in blog you know.they can only comment their project how slow the progess la..keep wait the feedback from developer la..nothing much!!!thtwhy all come here try to make a topic. pity to them.
PITY
To the anonymous who wish to look for cheaper electrical product in Penang...you may consider buying it during Jusco member day in December. I have a colleague who bought a house early of the year...and he told me that buying from Jusco during member sales is the cheapest compare to other electrical shops. The reasons are you will entitle 5% disscount, RM5 voucher upon purchase of RM100 and longer warranty period.
I called Winston Ng & Teoh to ask about the loan agreement. They told me that it is in the court for PA. I don't know what is PA anyway. Any experienced home buyer can explain? Plus how long will it take for the payment to be ready from the PA stage. Really scared of the penalty of 10%. Right now, can't stop thinking of the day i'll hold the key to my own house. Cheers~
Type-C-Buyer
Hai, all
To share with you all, my banker has released the payment of 55% to IJM and will follow by another 5% soon. So, pls f/u with ur bank officer to ensure the $$$ release on time to avoid penalty interest.
For the aircond, think to negotiate with the dealer for special price if v can group together to buy the same model/brand. What u all think? Email me if any of u interested.
Heard some1 visited the place said that the quality still acceptable, might not as good as bayswater. C how lah until IJM finish the final step. Also mention that the corridor a bit dark for the units around type E. The bathroom set brand(toilet bowl, basin n etc) is “Dolphin”, any1 hv any idea how is the quality for this brand?

Hi Thamvb,
Looks like the unit you photographed is Type-G. The thing I am curious is the bathroom pics. Seems like there are 3 different bathrooms. The 3rd bathroom does not have shower but yours shows it.
BW
hi Thamvb... wow..!!!! i didnt realise that you've sent some new pics to the administrator!!.. hahahaha.. toilet & balcony view looks alrite to me :-) dolphin or what is also OK..as long as it doesnt clog up la..hehehe..
so which unit is that? which floor? mind sharing some details here?
btw, our aircon point is at the side wall instead of the balcony wall?
hi Andrea,
thanks so much for the pointers.. gonna call my banker now.. i did receive 1 letter about 55% progressive billing (not the 5% yet) but i'm in the CC loop.. so i jz put it aside :-P didnt know that i have to be more proactive in this matter.. first house wat..hehehehe
i'm damn excited to see all these pics here..hahahaha.. cant wait to get the house key..!!! yahoo..!!
p/s: i parked my car almost daily after work at near the heavy machineries shown in the pic to look at my unit..hahahahahah
-ciplak @ C14-
Hi, Thamvb,
May I know which unit and floor did you take the photos from? Just curious. My unit will have a bridge view too. Woww, looks nice. (But not sure whether my view is as nice as in the photos)
And, IJM is building the road now. Yaaahoo~
Ciplak,
We have to take initiative, as bank/lawyer is not the one who will get penalty, they're not in hurry :)
Well, what is PA?
I called to Winston Ng and Teoh few days ago, they're in the process of sending my loan agreement for stamping. Wonder they've done it and instruct my bank to release money to IJM. Going to disturb them again later :)
~ Amy ~
Winston Ng & Teoh do things real slow man.... My deadline is just a few days time and they still have not yet instruct the bank for the release of money.
Called them and they just say ok ok, we do today.
~Chin Eng~
Called Winston Ng and Teoh just now to ask whether they've stamped my loan agreement. Sigh, not yet. They said will be done next Monday.
Sigh... Hope that they'll really get it done by Monday. *cross fingers*
Slow~~
~ Amy ~
hi, i am type A owner (Facing Penang bridge, high floor). Can you guys send me the photo captured? Thank you! (ahkaikai83@yahoo.com)
Oops... let me rephase the word "slow". "Slow" is basically not up to my standard and my standard may be quite high if compared to others. hehehe... if don't clarify afterwards get sued... :-)
~Chin Eng~
hi Amy & Chin Eng,
same situation here.. i guess they wana "lump up" all our agreements before sending it over to IJM..cos i jz called up Winston Ng & my banker. Winston Ng said they're waiting for IJM to approve the paper first before they can hand-over to the bank for loan release :-|
however, i have assurance from my banker that they (bank) will send us snail mail indicating the starting date of loan repayment.
gonna call the law firm every 2 days until i get the green light from my banker..
Hi Amy,
u bought bridge view unit as well? which one is it?
btw, the following are replies i received from an outgoing IJM staff.. just FYI..
Que: Can I go view the unit now? If not, when can we view the units?
Ans: When OC is obtained . I wish i can take u up but the door is all locked
Que: When can we get the OC and key handing?
Ans: I target in the next 3 months
Que: Finally, any other charges we have to keep aside for IJM before we can move into The Spring?
Ans: YES , the deposit and maintenance for 3 months but the killing will be the strata title one.
-ciplak @ C14-
I just called up my lawyer and banker. Both confirm that 55% and the 5% had been released to developer.
My Maybank banker informed me that I will get the confirmation letter by end of this month indicating how much loan had been released to developer and what is the interest amount that I need to pay starting next month.
I was informed that I will start serving interest now until OC obtained and all the loan has release to the developer, then only we will start our housing loan repayment. This few month will be serving interest.
Wah u want cheap, good, big and tasty some more ah?
People buy smallest unit high floor already near 270k. With interest and all the loan+lawyer fee maybe near 280k, who want to sell you at 280k?
300k also cannot find already man, cheapest is 310k at the moment and also for low floor. I am full time sales agent so I know the pricing
Wow Thamvb,
Wonderful pictures. Thanks alot. Anyone got pictures from high floors ?. Pls do share... I just do not have enough stamina and strength to climb the stairs to high floors.
cheers
Loo
just an advise..pls do check with your respective lawyers on the release of your loan to IJM. better get it done fast. wouldn't wanna be charged late charges from developer. i had mine released on 15/07/2008. 4 days earlier from my due date.
so guys, pls do rush your lawyers ASAP to avoid any unwanted costs..
cheers~
Ok, raising my budget now to 300K,if you think you have a good deal for me for the spring unit, do call me, also targeting others old condo for personal stay, hopefully can find one for personal stay. Cheers.
with RM300K i think you can get some lower floors for type D, B or G. Heard from an agent a type A < 8Floor changed hands for RM320K. Good luck
Sim
Last nite went to the promenade. Sigh... There is still open burning. Anyone knows how to make a complaint to MPPPP ? Thanks
"environment friendly"
From the latest pics submitted, looks like they are doing something to the fence..hasn't anyone noticed? they are raising the concrete portion higher from the ground. hopefully this is a start. :)
Gigi, I have taken photo of the construction since the beginning and sad to say that the higher concreate portion has already been there all the while. It is higher than other parts of the fence cause the road is going up hill and they have to make the fence higher. Do notice the height of the entire fence is different which is cause by the road elevation. I really doubt that IJM will do any modifications.
Anyway, lets still hope for the best. Cheers.
Bi lien
from the pic seems like it's not 2x2 tiles... but i'm not sure.
one major gripe.... wht's with the brown strip of tiles at the pedestal toilet bowl? I can sure do without it...
Hi all,
I did check with my IJM sales people just now (21th July 2008). She say the spring targeted to be complete (Including OC) at October 2008 instead of next year. Thanks!
Meng
Yipppeee...!!! OCTOBER 2008 !!!. Thank you IJM. Three cheers to IJM !!!.
Complete earlier in September 08 can ar ? hehehe... Can't wait already la...
~Chin Eng~
Wah, Chin Eng, you're too much...
Complete earlier in Aug 2008 can ar? Hee... :p
Just kidding.
Oct 2008? I hope that it comes true!
Wow, if we really can get the key in Oct 08, that means that we might be able to move in before Christmas... or Chinese New Year 2009.
I hope that no so-call "appointed contractor" waiting downstairs.
~ Amy ~
that's great but i have same concern like ~Amy~, is there appointed gangter contractor which revonation will charge higher market price and quality not up to standard? even IJM officer told me nope but i still doubt on it. For loan release, this is my last week and now waiting my bank to release $ to IJM.how abt u guys?

Most of the time there are "appointed contractor" in all types of apartments you buy. It will be the same for The Spring. Normally, we might need to buy sands from them...
omg..i think they will sell sand, brick,cement and etc with 2X market price. we need to recalculate our budget to feed those monsters. Anyway to avoid this?
~3am~
I don't think we need to buy from them la... If we really do need to buy from them, let's make a complaint to IJM.
mi mi
Hi 3am,
There is no way to avoid them. They can recognise those contractor that you hired in. They will stop they van or car from entering the building if you didn't purchase those cement, bricks and sands from them.
wow..!! OCT 2008!! yahoo!!
can't wait la.. i bet we'll be able to start the house renovation and etc by then.. plus minus 6weeks to finish d whole thing.. which means that we'll b moving in by Dec 2008.. :D ;D
btw, those "sand/cement sellers" will be there for what purpose? do we have to factor this in by ourselves or our kitchen/ID will know what to do? or can we jz give ang pow to settle ah?
Hi BW,
any issue with yr condo particularly on this "sand/cement sellers"?
btw, my banker said they havent received any notice to release d loan yet. Chin Eng and Amy, how bout u both?
-ciplak @ C14-
hi all,
just wondering.. can we ask IJM to block those ppl? i mean its pointless for us to buy cement/sand from them if we have no use of those materials right?
my blood boils when i think about this daylight rip-off.. arrgghhh..
i think i might ask my friend who's staying at Bayswater whether they face the same issue or not during the initial stage... will keep u all posted..
btw, Loo & Thamvb,
is our unit fitted with audio visual LCD panel like Bayswater?
-ciplak @ C14-
Ciplak,
Initially the gangster from Regency Heights set up shop at my condo but after numerous complaints, I think the residents managed to avoid paying them.
BW
if we give ang pau meaning we afraid to them, possible another type of monster will come back to us again. =.=" let's ask around and update here again. :)
~3am~
1 good thing on ijm project is no appointed contractor, u can hire ur own contraction, no need give money for those blood sucking ppl. u can ask bayswater ppl, they dint facing this problem. as i know, only ijm project dun hv appointed contractor, other developer like regency height, serina bay, i-regency will hv those gangster as appointed contractor.
hey, summerplace proposed price is 300 onward. the spring 315K consider too cheap already. why dnt wait till OC obtained for higher return? :P
~3am~
3am,
I think the person who says wanna sell at 315K is just testing the market. No contact number or name is placed.
small boy
Hi all,
Called to the lawyer yesterday. I was told that my loan agreement is already stamped, and needs another 1 day to do some stuffs, then bank will release money to developer.
Going to call to my banker later, to check whether they already received the instruction from lawyer. Another few days to go before due...
About the "appointed contractor", a friend of mine who is staying in Alpine Tower told me that she didn't face this problem. She appointed her contractor to renovate her house. Any update about Bayswater's situation?
Summer Place @ 300k? Wah...
To me, I'm not too happy when seeing housing price is getting higher and higher (ridiculously?). Investors are making money while people who really need a house are suffering. The worst part is, some irresponsible developers are doing low quality job, or even abandon the project. And then, these irresponsible developers can still go for another new projects. People are not protected :(
Just a piece of personal opinion.
~ Amy ~
hi all,
there're 2 sides of the story.. 3 sides if we include BW's comment :-)
first story (my colleague)
he paid/bought cement & sand (obviously higher priced than normal) from those ppl & also paid roughly RM200 for "rubbish collection fees".. the best part is that these "contractors" will issue the purchasers official receipt upon delivery too.. :-D he also said that we can ask these ppl to clear off the rubbish & also send those purchased cement/sand directly to your unit..
second story (my friend)
she told me its a complete crap cos she didnt buy any cement/sand from anyone other than her direct contractors. end of story :-P :-D
she also added that we have the right to complain to IJM regarding this issue & it seems that IJM is quite good in handling this kind of situation..
also, IJM will set up management office even before we get the keys to our unit and we as resident will have to register ourselves & also submit the contractor's company profile to IJM's management office for verification before we can start the renovation. any unregistered company/individual will be barred from entering the site.
the moral of the story is.. this is only applicable for Bayswater, so we'll never know what will transpire after this for our place.. :-) one thing's for sure, we need to continue having this kind of feedback session so that we can handle this as "virtual management committee" instead of handling it individually..
-ciplak @ C14-
ciplak,
I will go with the second story. Will make a complaint if i am unhappy with things.
I suggest we all do the same.
There will be roadshow at Gurney Plaza for Pacifica home appliances. Please refer below for information:-

To The Spring Owners,
Please aware with construction companies named ID Box and Tan Design.
They are a company with gangsterdom background which already got a lot of police reports from owners at Regencey Height. They even complaint to Bukit Aman. Remember the show units at Regency Height and Bayswater....??
dear frenz /spring owners.
i've checked with IJM the other day, that they still have about 15 bumi units left. mostly at the midlle level (11-16), & only left A,B,C,D type. the price now is at RM 280-290k depend on level.
1)would it be worth for me to buy this house considering that, the unit is bumi lot and leasehold property, for that price?. i might have hard time to sell it later.
2)need your opinion on whether what type of the house is the best & which side is better (ferry / bridge).
Chin Eng, Ciplak,
Hi, any update on the loan part?
My banker told me that she has another case which is under another lawyer, already done for quite some time.
Arrg!
~ Amy ~
YEP... my banker just release my loan. Chase lawyer and banker until all my hair nearly drop.
~Chin Eng~
Hi, Chin Eng,
Do you know that how many days does bank need to release money after receiving instruction from bank?
This morning, the lawfirm told me that they're going to give instruction by today.
Called again just now, not yet done, and said that will give instruction tomorrow.
Chase until going to get heart attack.
Cool it gal,
For my case, they took satu minggu (5 working days). I have to call them every day to get 1 week.
~Chin Eng~
For my case, the loan release within 2 days upon lawyer firm instruction. To me, banker side is quite efficient, as compare to my lawyer (Winston Ng & Teoh), who took more than 1 month to issue instruction.
Now it is time to save up and ready to pay monthly installment.. going to be broke... :(

Dear Potential Bumi Lot buyer,
Prices normally jump around 10% after bumi lots are released..same for other properties... so definitely you will have a price appreciation but again does the small increase satisfy you is another question.
true that its bumi lot and leasehold but do bear in mind there are no other newly completed projects in the island for this price range.
ferry or bridge is a personal choice but during the launch, most of the ferry units were snapped up first.
This project around 60% are pure investors, rather than genuine residents.
facelift for the blog? i prefer this new look :)
I really can't understand what is the point of saying "60% pure investors blah blah..."? We are here to share our experience, from signing snp to loan agreement, loan release. Is your "60% pure investors" going to help out anything? and who are you to speak on behalf of all spring buyers and came out with 60%? come on...
~e~

Hi all,
went to Ikea last Sat..had to stop myself from buying everything in one go.. :-P anyway,thanks to Andrea,i've signed up with Friends of Ikea card & will most likely utilise it to the max :-) might go again this Sat..
btw, i went to Winston Ng's office last Fri..d lawyer asked me to sign only 2pcs of paper with similar contents..thats all..how bout u Chin Eng & Amy? any of u guys started paying for the loan yet?
i've informed my banker that i've signed the paper & asked him to let me know when they released the loan..
i guess there's not much thing to update here except to wait for the loan release & OC.. and also almost daily drive to The Spring site to look at the progress :-P
-ciplak @ C14-
Hi,
Wah, ciplak, already bought many things for your new C14 from IKEA?
My loan is already late. Called to my banker, seems that they haven't received advice from lawyer :s
Ciplak, when is your due date to pay to IJM?
Anybody else is late? Any action taken? Or only my case is late? :'(
I went to Spring almost every weekend. Haha.
~ Amy ~
By the way, FYI, IJM is already moved to Menara IJM which is located at E-gate that area.
~ Amy ~
Amy & Ciplak,
Mine is also late. But don't worry. So far, already two weeks and still no penalty from IJM yet. Winston NG is alright after all. They really know their stuff. :-) Maybe they appeal for us ?
Mmmh... saw you last weekend ah ha. I am there every weekend. Wei... the pasar mlm sells great stuff. Also quite cheap.
Seok,
Gotta compliment you on the photos. They are great !!!.
~Chin Eng~
Hi Amy, Chin Eng,
thanks for yr info.. else i'll get jittery cos i'm worried that IJM will charge us for d delay :-P any other bloggers here tied to Winston Ng's law firm?
where's d pasar malam btw? i only drive/walk around the Promenade, then will definitely stop by the fence to look at the progress..the guards are quite efficient though..cos they've asked me twice on the reason i stopped there :-P
Hi Seok,
Thanks a bunch for the pics..ru working for the developer? how did u manage to take so many photo shots in the construction yard?
-ciplak @ C14-
Chin Eng,
Yours is late for 2 weeks? How do you know whether you are/aren't penalised for late payment?
You saw me or ciplak? If me, how do you know who am I? If ciplak, then forget my question. Haha.
Pasar malam? Where is the pasar malam? *drooling*
Wow, new photos! (normally I don't realised until somebody mentioned about it)
When can I get the key? Waiting... (now even the loan not yet done... sigh)
~ Amy ~
I am assumming no letter from IJM so no penalty lor. :-)Anyway, I believe our lawyer knows what to do. They are IJM's panel of lawyers right ? No need to panic.
Mmhh.. looks like you guys don't go to SPRING really often eh ?. hehehee. I'll be there sometimes maybe 5 times a day until my sister scold me saying that because of me petrol price goes up.
There will be pasar mlm every Saturday nite only (starts around 8pm)along Javenue shop lots (Near Oceanview) infront of Nautilus Bay. You won't miss it if you go to Spring on Saturday nite. Lots of ppl & cars double/triple parking and the Promenade will be full of people. I think the entire Georgetown will be there.
By the way, if you love fruits, it's cheap (but gotta bargain first). Cheaper than lorong kulit.
~Chin Eng~
IJM will only consider recieve the loan when laywer firm pass the cheque to them.For my case, i late one day just because my bank need 2working days to post the cheque to lawyer firm. According to my lawyer, IJM won't penalty to buyer if only late 1 or 2 days.next step is to discuss abt OC topic.:)
~3am~
My Maybank banker told me that I will start paying the interest to the bank starting next month as they had released two payments to the IJM developer.
Hi Ciplak,
What have you bought from IKEA? I am sure by now you would have the picture how you want to design your kitchen.
In my opinion, it's better to separate your wet kitchen and dry kitchen. I plan to do a small kitchen at the dry yard where I will do all my cooking stuffs there. The reason is I won't need to clean up such a big kitchen after cooking....just a small area will do. It also prevents the oil from spreading to the whole kicthen and house.
Andrea,
Alternatively, you might install a door between kitchen and dining area :)
~ Amy ~
Andrea,
I am also planning to design my kitchen as yours (dry and wet). Got any draft sketch on your design ?
Thanks.
~Chin Eng~
andrea,
not sure if your plan could be carried out. look at the pictures posted by loo. the 1st pic on the second row. there are two pipings. at the look of it, i think it will take up 2 feet of space.
bi lien
Hi Andrea & all,
i bought mostly non-permanent items from IKEA such as plates, GRUNDTAL series of wall shelf & rail, glass cabinet, LACK shelving unit and etc.. how about u? discounts for IKEA are mind boggling.. example, the glass cabinet's original price is RM199 but now its only RM119!!
basically i will maintain my kitchen as it is (as dictated in the house layout) cos change in piping/tap location will involve hacking of wall surface which is not an economical option for me.. so i guess my kitchen will still be in one room except that i might have door partitioning for Living/Dining to Kitchen..
to tell the truth, i might follow most of the layout as the floor plan.. except maybe when it involves some fengshui issue la :-D
btw, my banker jz informed me that they havent received the loan release notice from Winston yet.. gonna call Winston in awhile.. ;-( my loan agreement stated that i will have to pay for my installment one month after they release the loan. which is about the same time as Andrea..
Hi Bi Lien,
which photo are u referring to? 1st pic on the second row (taken by Loo) is the entrance of C-type unit.. if 1st photo on the second row (taken by thamvb) is a toilet..hahaha..
also, did u all notice that the latest photos posted here have been removed?
-ciplak @ C14-
btw, have u all contacted any ceiling plaster maker? i only have contact for ProPlaster submitted by Andrea...
what are we supposed to do first? plaster ceiling or buying downlight first? who will advise us on the type & qty of light to buy? Plaster maker or we have to engage ID? pls advise this bur-case man here (yours truly :-D)
-ciplak @ C14-
MOS build near by The Spring no want know?
Hi Amy,
I might install a sliding door between the kicthen and dining area. I will remove the door between dry yard and kitchen if I plan to do the wet kitchen there. I will have to replace by slidding door.
Hi Chin Eng,
I still haven't come out with the draft sketch but have in mind on how I want it to me. I saw the wet kitchen at IKEA and I love it as it match the measurement and design in my house. I won't purchase from IKEA as I heard the quality is not so good but I will ask other kitchen designer to do it for me.
Hi Bi Lien,
If there is two piping on there...I can place my watching machine next to the piping. Wherease I will place the wet kitchen opposite the two piping. It will only be able to confirm after I take a look on actual layout.
Hi Ciplak,
No doubt the second row 1st photo taken by Loo shown the main door but if you take a careful look or zoom the photo bigger on the right end side, you will be able to see the two piping there.
Hi Ciplak,
I don't have the chance to see the photos taken by Seok...is there anyone able to tell me what was the photo taken actually? Why has it been removed?
Hi Ciplak,
How did you carry so many many things from IKEA especially the glass cabinet? Mine to post the things you bought from IKEA in this website. Perhaps it might help to give inspiration to think how we wanna design for our own house...
Hi Ciplak,
I believe the ProPlaster staffs would have tell you that they will not be able to give you the exact price before you get your house, right?
You can go to ProPlaster office to take a look of the designs they have whenever you are free. They are able to give you some opinions. You got to let them know what types of downlight you want to install or have in mind....and they would be able to tell you whether would it be suitable or not.
They have given me a lot of opinions on the design of plaster ceiling I should choose and what types of lights are suitable for my dining, living room, study room and kitchen too.
Hi Andrea,
u posted so many split blog entries in one go.. :-D anyway, i'm not sure if this blog website administrator allows me to post PDF file (my targetted stuff from IKEA) or not.. but i'll try it out nonetheless...
as for photos from Seok, luckily i've downloaded it yesterday but its showing only the side lobby below E-type unit.. plus some pics showing the basketball court & pavilion on top of the carpark.. if u wana see the pics then i can email to u..
regarding my house layout, i'm following the layout proposal by IJM.. albeit with some minor modification la :-)
thanks for the tips regarding Proplaster but i havent contacted them yet as of now.. cos you mentioned earlier that price is subject to change due to raw material price fluctuation.. which is why i will contact them after we get the OC...
IMHO, to install IKEA's FAKTUM kitchen series by yourself will be quite a hassle.. price doesn't come cheap too.. pls bear in mind that the kitchen series does not include sink, tap & whatnot, so remember to read the fine prints when u purchase the set :-) in my case, i'm targetting only relatively small items..
i have the whole list of IKEA's e-catalogues.. so those who wanted to have these catalogues, pls email me at
ciplak_me@yahoo.com
-ciplak @ C14-
Hi Ciplak,
Kindly email to me the photos taken from Seok and any other files that you want to share to andreachee@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance.
By the way, have you start doing survey on which types/brand of sink, hob, hood, fan and air-con?
Hi Andrea,
Pacific Brand - Hood & Hob not bad. Its from Taiwan, & d power its stronger..
Hi all,
For those who can read chinese, this is a discussion thread mostly about different kind of air-con (mostly Daikin vs Panasonic).
http://cforum001.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?tid=1044695
There's a calculation shared (about how much BTU needed for a space)
Formula:
BTU needed = width x depth x height x 5
Example:
living room = 600 sq ft
height = 8 ft
BTU needed
= 600 * 8 * 5
= 240000 btu
Therefore, 2.5HP is suitable for this living room.
Hope it helps.
