The Minton development has seemingly stalled for a couple of weeks now. From visual exterior looks, and apart from some minor patch-up work, the condo seems done and ready for temporary occupancy. The process of attaining the issue of TOP – temporary occupancy permit – seems more complicated however, and from checks on the BCA site, inspections to reach this status have still not been successful. Sigh. The latest word though is that another filing of documents has just been made a few days ago, and this time round hopefully TOP will be issued – whereupon we’ll finally be able to get keys, and begin the process of selecting our ID and renovation can finally begin.<\/p>\n

I was remarking to Ling that even though there clearly hasn’t been significant development for several weeks now, not having visited the site for 3 weeks now for visits have made me feel as though I’ve been neglecting my duties to photo-record The Minton’s development! The Saturday noon-time visit saw pretty cloudy weather though – we’ve been experiencing fairly frequent flash-rain for the last few weeks now – so the pictures below don’t showcase the visual vibrancy I’ve obtained from other visits.<\/p>\n

\"There
There seems to be just slightly more greenery growth at Tranquil World. Or maybe that’s just my imagination!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Markings
Markings at Block 14A indicating additional patch-up work is required.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"High-chairs
High-chairs installed at the BBQ island. Color doesn’t quite match with the general ambiance though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Deck
Deck chairs have been installed at the Main Pool @ Fun World too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Someone
Someone has already been conducting meetings at the Clubhouse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Indoor
Indoor gym equipment have been installed. Squint a little harder and you’ll also see emptied PC boxes on the right-side of the picture. Wonder if these integrated PCs are for the managing agent office, or residents’ computer room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Deck
Deck chairs have also been installed at the Main Pool’s BBQ pit. They look bolted to the floor. Can’t imagine otherwise – they would be gone in days LOL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Strong
Strong colors for the deck chairs. Suits the Fun World theme just fine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"The
The finished contemporary bridge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"At
At least 1,100 basement carpark lots currently unoccupied for 1,145 apartment units.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A couple of panoramas below too, all stitched from multiple shots.<\/p>\n

\"Panoramic
Panoramic stitch from the 5th level of the opposite HDB block.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Panoramic
Panoramic stitch of the front facade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Home
Home – just not ready to be moved in. \/sigh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The larger sized and other pictures are available here<\/a> at the Flickr album again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
