I think buying property at Geylang is only appropriate for Propertism followers, who intend to hold for many X years. I wonder if jlrx has any property at Geylang..?

MM+geylang==?

I think most of your miss the point ... Geylang PLUS MM units --> ?? get it ?

It is quite appropriate considering the outcome. If u are in the trade, renting a smallish apt is the correct strategy. Currently most people in that trade rent bigger units and share with others. Going forward, they need not do that anymore ...

And someone ask what is the profile of people staying in MM units ? Mickey Mouse la !!!

u mean gona haf some higher class geylang chicks in future who can afford to rent 1.5-2k for a MM unit?

now one 3bedder rental only 2.5k at most over there...and 3 chicks share share only 800pax

Now I know why rich people or psuedo-rich die die want to buy bukit timah, river valley, grange road etc..

Taxi driver or colleague ask wher you stay, I stay in Bukit Timah/River Valley. Immediately, the association is you are rich and stay in Condo.. even if you are staying very far up in upper bukit timah.. they still think it's rich area.

Below is conversation with my fengshui master assistant..
Me : I want Master X to audit my house
FSM Assistant : Where you stay?
Me : Dakota Crescent
FSM : Where ah?
Me : Near National Stadium , opposite goodman road
FSM : Where ah?
Me : (Give Up) Old Airport Road near Dakota MRT
FSM : Oh! I know. Is it HDB?
Me : *pull long face* No, it's a new condo.
blah blah blah..

See..the conversation would have been shortened considerably if it's river valley..

keke.. it's ok

I find it alright being asked that question about hdb or condo (even when i go find ID).

Nothing much to "show" off to people coz I dont really need status in life..

I'm a nobody .. Maybe only rich people and professionals need status.

**Komo** · 18-07-10, 11:22

**Squall8888** · 18-07-10, 13:57

You can't eradicate prostitution I guess. If not, other crimes will come up.

Power to the Ah Pek ..

I want to be him one day...

**Wild Falcon** · 18-07-10, 15:21

I always tell people I stay in the west - and people will usually give me the "poor thing" look. Don't care if people see me lowly lor. I like to do that because it allows me to see the other person's character. If one only treats me well because I show him a swanky address, then he is not worth my friendship lor.

**bargain hunter** · 18-07-10, 19:12

i just went to a showflat in river valley, but its for Far East's Skyline @ Anguila. wanted to wear my usual bermudas and sandals but really felt paiseh, in the end went in leather shoes.

i like their white plan concept, although their smallest unit, 1+1, is 1744sq ft, its just their recommendation. up to buyer, want to chop up to 4 bedrooms also can. but out of budget lah, 1744sq ft at 4000psf. LOL.

Anyway.. you always free right ..keke..

**new2mondrian** · 18-07-10, 22:46

wah, u guys checking out Reflections ah???

Why not Sentosa Cove then (if Reflections is under your consideration/budget)? Just saw a "fire sale" Oceanfront unit on property guru askg for $1788psf. Still a tad cheaper than the launch price of $1900 for Reflections.... anyway, both are 99yr leasehold right?

Bargain Hunter: 1744sqft at $4kpsf????!!!

Wah, how are the sales like? Swatting mozzies or brimming with towkays?
