Though now comes the real wait &#8211; keys collection, and since the project is so large with so many apartment units, we&#8217;ve been hearing anywhere between 3 to 6 months for key distribution to complete. Our block though is among the first phase of blocks to get keys &#8211; not that it really matters that much to us now though, since whether we move in January or June next year now doesn&#8217;t make any difference to school and nanny arrangements for Peter and Hannah.<\/p>\n<p>Still &#8211; we swung by the project site on Saturday morning to see if kaypoh residents like us will be allowed in for a walkabout. Taking long shots for the last 24 months from the surrounding HDB blocks was interesting only up till a point! No such luck though &#8211; the compound was still secured, and with estate and security guards now whom as someone remarked, looked like they meant business. Or maybe it was just the newness of their new postings.<\/p>\n<p>Just a couple of pictures this time. Since we&#8217;re all receiving keys soon, I&#8217;ve only posted pictures of interest than the usual establishing shots.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19665\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19665\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/blog-2013-minton-OMDB4457.jpg\" alt=\"Walkabout going on at the dome.\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/blog-2013-minton-OMDB4457.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/blog-2013-minton-OMDB4457-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19665\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Walkabout going on at the dome.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19662\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19662\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19662 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/blog-2013-minton-OMDB4447.jpg\" alt=\"Units at Block 10C facing Tranquil World at Block 10C Tranquil World getting cleaned. \" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/blog-2013-minton-OMDB4447.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/blog-2013-minton-OMDB4447-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/blog-2013-minton-OMDB4447-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Units at Block 10C facing Tranquil World at Block 10C Tranquil World getting cleaned.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19663\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19663\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19663 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/blog-2013-minton-OMDB4449.jpg\" alt=\"There was very loud hacking\/drilling sounds going about this unit at Block 10.
