Work-in-Progress – Part 30

Posted on    by

The weather on our island has been, surprisingly, quite wet and cold over the last several days – and it’s not even November monsoon yet. We’ve been experiencing rain everyday for nearly a week now, some of which has been intense enough to cause flash floods and bring down grown trees onto vehicles even. Thankfully no real injuries have been caused yet, aside from lots of the usual inconveniences from sudden downpours i.e. traffic jams and the like. We finally got a little sun on Sunday mid-afternoon – enough for me to quickly pop by The Minton construction site for another weekly look-see.

In general, some progress is visible, though the initial TOP of end-September is starting to look less likely. Sigh. If we don’t get our keys by mid-October, that will mean we won’t be moving in this year after all, what with the about two months it will typically take for our apartment’s unit renovation to complete.

The Amazonian Giant Lily Pond @ Tranquil World has received its first water body. Still quite shallow though, and the water there might just had been the result of the rain we've been getting.

The interconnecting bridge between walkways and observation islands have received its support beams. Ling was a little disappointed at the lily planters though - they sure don't look like 'Giant' lilies.

Ostensibly the Checkboard activity area @ Fun World. Realistically, still no idea what this activity is really about LOL.

The Badminton Dome has been getting wood decking around it. Workers were also (finally) mounting up its door frame too.

The front signage's water feature is complete - nice! Check out the almost perfect reflection of the condo's name.

  2. Actually, if it’s going to TOP, more the reason why the place will be locked up – the last thing the Developer wants is for people to go in, accidentally destroy or damage something that could only delay the TOP.

    In any case, the TOP inspection was today. Hopefully it was all good news.

  3. Hi CY, do you mind sharing the list of IDs you have shortlisted? I’ve tried going to a few but they were either very eloquent or inexperienced…

    Thanks

  4. Hi Dorothy; thanks for the visitation to our blog. Will reply you on email later.

  5. Hi CY,

    Thanks for the great updates, I can’t wait to receive the keys and pretty excited. This is my first house and I am having a nightmare trying to shortlist IDs. I would be grateful if you would be able to share the IDs with me.

    Cheers!
