Anyone else from singapore living in Seng Kang?

Finally I see you here! Nice to see you brother! So, how have you been? Busy making people already? The school near that is near my home and Odie is completing soon... and I am also looking forward to the new sports facilities due to be completed next year!

SI LAN ZA BO .... correct hokkien or not ?

there is no quote facilities here... as long as you post in the same posting, i will know that you are referring to my previous posting... heh heh... busy with office renovation eh? baby... boy or girl ah? wah... long time never catch up, seem to have missed a lot leh

you are not alone brother! We are all feeling it. Especially if you have uprooted yourself from your parents home that is in a old and establish town like Serangoon, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh, Tampines... etc etc Worst part of it is, our MPs are happy that they provided one coffee shop for every XXX hundred of people. Sheez! Do they even eat at the coffeeshops that they provided? and the market... Oh, dun get me started. There is one stall for every kind of needs. That is it! With the population that Seng Kang and Punggol combine, I am sure a center bigger than Ang Mo Kio can easily be sustained!

new bus stop just added opp. of Block 317B

guess i got it worse coz i shifted from chinatown. the supposed 'food haven' where you can find cuisines of all nationalities within walking distance. i'm quite used to having japanese, nepalese, italian, french, chinese, indian, malay, american food all downstairs. :( and i used to live upstairs one of the biggest wet market in singapore. where there are like twenty of each kind of stalls, not to mention the enormous food centre above it. but CNY is what kills my love for the love. season-parking holders don't dare to go out during the two weeks before. coz we are guaranteed to have NO parking when we come back. even with the warden standing next to the season-parking area, people just park. they'd rather pay the $70 than go find alternative parking. :( and the chaotic traffic i face everyday when i'm going home is enough to turn me off.

wow... appreciate it... your first post and it is my thread that gets it. Heh heh... West loop getting the second direction is very unlikely cos the Cheng Lim stretch is still not very populated yet. But I am also looking forward to the new sports center, especially the pool! Everytime I take the LRT and it passes by the new sports center, I see lots of changes. They are also building some sort of bridge behind the center, over the river. Any idea if it is a new road? or just a link to be use exclusively by the sports center?

if that is all true, then it would really be worth looking forward to. With the crappy planning by the estate architect so far, I not putting too much hope in his works. As long as they put up more amenities other than building more schools, I would be very happy liow. We are seriously lacking ATMs, Markets, coffeeshops...

Yeah, i know, wishful thinking for early operations for the west loop. haha. Sports center is looking good these days. DOn't know anything about the bridge or link but it'll be unusual to open another road unless direct link to the highway. maybe a big car park. A hawker center for after-sports cravings. Ps. The site page loading takes quite awhile. Not really smooth. Want to start a rant thread haha

Hi Poohgal, you are right in that it doesn't really matter whether there is a tertiary institute in SK or not. But imagine, if there is, there is an additional choice. Heh heh... Near to Seng Kang? Where you live? Punggol? Hougang? Rite now, it is not as quiet as, say, 5 years ago. As more people shift in, combine with the two new BTO that is to be completed in 08 at Fernvale, it is going to be a really crowded place. Even today, going to Compass Point, can be a real pain sometimes. It is so crowded, it is almost like going to Takashimaya (on a smaller scale in terms of building). I really hope Compass Point will go towards what Junction 8, Northpoint is doing... expand to a slightly bigger complex so that shopping will be more pleasant. :p Best if they can include a small cineplex as well :p

Hi Applefreak, you are right! Taking the NEL to go to town is a breeze as compared to when I was staying with my mum. Where I am staying, I have easy access to town within 40 mins of leaving my home. The best part of it is, it goes to Dhoby Gauht... where Plaza Singapura is... Late nite movies is no longer an issue of trying to find a cab. People have the perception that SK is very ulu cos it has little amenities as compared to Hougang, Ang Mo Kio or Toa Payoh. But if you look hard enough, it is actually very convinient. If one is driving, in less than 10 mins, one can turn into the SLE and be connected to almost all the different expressways. For those who are taking trains, easy transfer in town... direct from LRT all the way to town. Other than the lack of amenities like a bigger market, more coffeeshops and eateries, there is nothing much one can gripe about when staying in SK. ;)

personally, i find that SK is more convenient for pple who takes the NEL. the driving condition to and fro can only be described as madness. it takes me less time travelling by NEL compared to driving. for NEL, it takes 30min to reach SK from my workplace but an hour by the expressway. :( that is when we travel by the CTE during the ERP hours which is supposed to ease traffic. upper serangoon road is worse because of all the traffic lights and road hoggers.
