my new flat!!!!

tada!!! FINALLY i received my house key last week!!!! after waiting for like 3months plus... lots of frustrating things happened during these 3 months but i shall elaborate on that in another post.... today i shall share some pictures of the unit..... so yup, i gotten the trivelis 4 room unit.... i know i mentioned in earlier post that i gave up the idea on trivelis but due to the limited supply of resales in my preferred area, we decided to go ahead with the best option at that moment..... prior to making the deposits, me & mama went down to survey the area several times & we even knocked on other residents doors, hoping to get some idea about the place & possibility of viewing their units... thankfully we managed to find several kind souls who let us into their flats & even shared their experience..... from what we gathered, the trivelis units are not as bad as what as publicized by the media... of cause the size issue is true, all the units (3, 4 & 5 rooms) are smaller than the usual BTO size and i would say this is the major downside about this estate.... the other issue about water pipes in service yard is also true, those bloody pipes are really obstructing the place... but based on feedback, other than these 2 issues, most residents are happy with their units.... hence, after much consideration, we decided to go ahead & get one of the remaining 4 room units..... without further ado, lets share the photos...

yup, this is the current conditions of the unit.... the place looks bigger on picture but in actual fact, the unit is really small.... 80sqm for a 4 room flat... my god.... it really makes me wonder if the developer based  their designs on HK units.... super tiny..... the aircon ledge is even bigger than your kitchen, like what kind of logic is this!?!?!?!? service yard is like size of a table?!?!!??! so yes, the size issue is a real problem.... but there are only 2 of us at the moment, so the place is still big enough for us.... as for workmanship, i would say most of the things were acceptable except for wardrobes.... there are no division or boards inside, it uses this pole system... really an eye opener.... i shall post the picture next time & i bet all of you will be amazed...... depressing things aside, we finally gotten our own home!!!! next step will be doing some simple renovation before shifting in.... so i hope to share some renovation tips along the way =)
