only a few stations, dont put your hopes up for the paya lebar one it'll take a min 1 to 2ys b4 it opens for operation. well my comp's doin the mrt line project smile.gif

QUOTE(seantang @ Apr 17 2009, 04:28 PM)
Actually, I don't rightly know where it is... although I know it exists and it's pretty ulufied. Which is why it's my example of a backwater.

QUOTE(crapp0)
But like chess gal said, when come 2 sing, sure will splurge coz got more choices here. Then later will have to reign in expenses.
Between you & me... I think successful young urbanites like chess gal will splurge no matter where they are. Being in Sg is just a good excuse tongue.gif.

For me, it's the reverse. I'm actually spending a lot less since coming to Sg because I don't have a car here. Back in KL, the car instalments, running costs, petrol/parking/tolls plus the cost of modifications were huge. Here, the few hundred bucks a month on public transport & taxis is tiny, in comparison.

true wifout the car "burden" spending less but more on rental haha

Are you sure. I thought that they have oledi dug the tunnels to paya lebar. Now should laying in the midst of laying in tracks and doing QA/QC work on the condition of the tracks.

A couple of months to run test while getting the stations ready at the same time.

One of my colleague did radiographic testing for one of the new circle line tracks but donno which location.

[/quote][/QUOTE]

after they so call build the station n lay the tracks the take 1year for t&c (testing n commissioning) all systems

Not so big, but design seems to me... little clamp.  There's a japanese food court at level 3, queue to get in. Colleague told me queue is rather quick and food not bad.   Japan no1 casual brand Ul clothes at level 2... but beware, must queue to go in.. super pack and today's paper, they apologised for the queuing as something unexpected... beyond  them.  Also at basement, another japanese theme shop selling snacks.

sg no land so need to squeeze everything mah like tat de loh. every sq meter need to pay tax to ura de leh. of cos all maximize lo.

the jap shop is overated, like LV shop limit the no of ppl who can go in of cos long que lo

basement hav kim gary n carls junior

this story line is a bit refreshing compared to his previous movies especially the few failed ones

I don't know anything about the Jap store, was only curious, but so many people.. forget it. 

As for land, to be frank, even though SG is small, there are still numerous empty plot of land not being used.. .jsut that SG Gov smart, sell to their advantage...  There are still empty land in Tampines if you bother to move around the outskirt of Tampines, just go to Ikea/Giant in Tampines Industrial land you will know.. plenty of green space unused.  Of course, shoppng space is expensive, so ... .compact.. but in a way, not feeling clamp.. Don't have that feeling in Tampines Mall even though its small.. something to do with the design... Even Century Square is small
*
not all land is suitable for development shopping centres further away wont hav much shoppers. even then u can develop it all sg has its master plan drawn up n they develop it when they c if the demand is there. well u can only blame it on the architect for the design even so due to the sheer amount of ppl its next to the mrt n another 2 shippin centers not to mention tampines central n the banking areas heck everyone is there.

Any gym in tampines 1?

iirc there is one on 4th floor
