Hi,

UOL mentioned that they will re-develop the Lion City Hotel site for commercial and retail use. This is to better cater for the residential cluster in this area.

Really hope our wishlist can come true....cinema, big supermarket, good eateries etc etc.

Cheers.

Thats good news..Any idea when they will start to demolish the Lion City ?

Sianz!!

Hi,

Will like to share my 1st day experience of using the Starhub MaxInfinity (100Mbps) broadband vs my previous MaxOnline (16Mbps) broadband.

1. Setup
- to avoid further trunking, all equipment must be in the swtichbox area
- this include the broadband box, wireless router, base-station of your Cordless phone (mine is the bundled service)

2. Coverage
- the living room coverage will, logically, be the best since its located near the switchbox
- A speedtest showed that download speed is over 60Mbps, wireless
- reduced coverage for my study and no coverage for my Masterbed room and children room

3. Additional equipment
- Added an Aztech power-plug for my study for Lan connection
- Download speed is now more than 50Mbps
- Intend to add a wireless-lan booster for my Masterbed room (PC show here I come!!)

4. Overall experience
- The surfing speed is now over 5 times from my previous setup, as I had about 10Mbps download speed previously
- Watching youtube and online video is now a breeze!!!

In short, its worthwhile to migrate considering the small incremental $$ but improved online experience.

Cheers.

Normally its OTP modem to wireless router but is it possible to connect the OTP modem to the inbuilt LAN network and come out to the wireless router (at masterbed room)?

Not sure mezo.

The problem is the termination point of the OpenNet point.

You can ask the technician during installation. But prepare for the worse case scenario.

Hi Mezo, BIC,
Last time I tried, I connected the otp to the inbuilt LAN network. There are 4 cables, numbered 1-4, got to trial and error which is which. I think #4 is for the living rm. Even though I placed the router at the center of the living rm, the signal strength in the mbr is still weak.
May have to get a booster like BIC suggested, :-). Getting my setup this coming Monday by starhub, similar plan as BIC, I think. Cheers.

This or its equivalent will help to boost the wireless signal from the router.

U guys are amazing... looks like a strong and cohesive community forming.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce a revolutionary new product to you; Strand Woven Bamboo.

Strand woven bamboo is applicable for both indoor flooring and outdoor decking and is considered a sustainable building material not only because it is harvested from FSC/Sustainable sources, but also because of its low volatile organic content (VOC), as well as its manufacturing and installation process.

Bamboo is commonly used for scaffolding so it is certainly strong enough for your flooring needs. It features a high strength to weight ratio and can easily carry countless times its own weight. Strand Woven Bamboo is as tough as Maple and it is 50% harder and more stable when compared to Red Oak. According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), Strand Woven Bamboo also tops the list of frequently used wood types in term of dimensional stability.

Styleline’s products have all been certified under the Singapore Green Label scheme, issued by the Singapore Environment Council. With a full range of test reports available, you can have peace of mind that you are getting a product that has been certified and tested to be stronger, more durable and environmentally friendly.

A whole host of options are available to you in terms of designs, we have 11 standard colors for our indoor flooring.

At Styleline, we have installed more than 400,000ft2 of indoor flooring and more than 700,000ft2 of external decking locally in Singapore.

Dear Owners,

Long time no see!!

Just want to share that there is another commercial site at Paya Lebar put up for sale. This one is opposite Katong Shopping Complex.

Looks like the redevelopment in this area is gathering steam!!

Cheers.

[ecimbew]

I was starring at the image of the site. There's a long kang dividing this plot. It will be interesting. Remember how 313 Somerset is built? Hopefully it means good business.

2 triangle plots of land divided by stream of water flowing through it.... hmm... I wonder what the Fengshui guys have to say about this.

Harmful Water Environments
Avoid sites located on or in view of the following:
• Fast moving water with steep banks.
• Sea cliffs or waterfalls.
• Sharp turns along water courses.
• Straight runs: long inlets or long water fingers such as canals, especially if the site or structure is located at the end of the run.
• Crashing water: breakers, rapids, and surf. White water over rocks is especially destructive.
• Tidal areas were water sets in fast.
• Areas with erratic water patterns such as flash flood creeks, deltas, flood plains, gullies, and swamps.
• Stagnant water of any type: marshes, swamps, treatment plants, and stagnant swimming pools.
• Frozen lakes

Hi ecimbew,

A very good pic of the site. Good or bad fengshui, the developer or future shop owners will find ways to handle this.

Its long overdue for this big piece of land to be developed.

Huat ah!!!

What type of commercial development will it be? Office? Shopping complex? Or mixed?

Not my photo. It's from ura.

My guess will be office spaces, in line in making Paya Lebar the commercial hub away from CBD, where office spaces are in hot($$) demand.

The new developement at the current Lion City Hotel site should provide the retail demand for the area.

It will be an exciting 5 years in the area!!! $2,000 psf? mezo, you think so?

Huat ah!!!

Dear Owners in these areas,

Huat ah!!!

Changes to transform Paya Lebar, Geylang into commercial hub


Published on Sep 3, 2011


They have long been seen as a bit sleepy, seedy and rundown but Paya Lebar and Geylang are undergoing radical changes that will transform them into a commercial hub - with some good spin-offs for home owners along the way. -- PHOTO: THE NEW PAPER

By Cheryl Lim

They have long been seen as a bit sleepy, seedy and rundown but Paya Lebar and Geylang are undergoing radical changes that will transform them into a commercial hub - with some good spin-offs for home owners along the way.

Hotels, shops, parks and other facilities are on the drawing board for the area, as part of the the Urban Redevelopment Authority's 2008 Masterplan.
There is about 12 ha of land available for development and a potential commercial floor space of more than five million sq ft.

The new Paya Lebar Central is poised to be a bustling commercial centre near the MRT station, with a mix of office, retail, hotel developments and attractive public spaces.

Signed up M1 $39 100mbps plan and later called me to say OpenNet reject our application because there is no demand.

Can they do this!!!

Gosh.....I smell a rat!!

However, with OpenNet cables already laid....I do not see how they can reject any Telco carrier.

Very strange indeed.
