Six months free condo living in Lion City

Hi folks!


I came across this article stating that  a property developer is offering a family the chance to live for free for six months in a fully furnished condominium unit in Kovan, Singapore.

(excerpts...)

But it is not really a marketing gimmick to whip up interest in Fiorenza, launched last year, as all but two of its 28 units have been sold.

Rather, it is a test bed of sorts for Koh Brothers, which hopes to gather useful feedback on "lifestyle living", as opposed to just selling an unfurnished unit.

Touted as a "concept home", the two-bedder has space-saving, tech-savvy furniture suitable for smaller homes.

Smart features in the fifth-floor unit include a dining table that converts into a coffee table, a foldable bed which can double as a study table, motorised sun shades and multi-room surround sound.

The successful family – who will not be obliged to purchase the unit – should be a family of three, including a child, and be able to give fair feedback and comments about their experience.

To apply, they will also have to submit a 100-word essay on why they deserve the "best experience in life".

Utility bills will be paid by the developer but the family will have to bear costs such as cleaning the apartment.

The flat, fitted with everything from a washing machine to cutlery, measures 1,367 sq ft, of which nearly 500 sq ft make up the rooftop garden, leaving about 872 sq ft of indoor living space.

Units at Fiorenza have been sold at an average price of S$1,000 to S$1,100 per sq ft. The "concept home", with all its furnishings, will cost some S$1.6mil; the unit alone costs about S$1.4mil.

He said the feedback he gathered would be used as tips for future developments. 

-From  The Straits Times/Asia News Network


Not bad ya...wonder when will such "surveying" trend applies in Malaysia. 


Haha...Woohoo...for weekend! Have a good one folks!


Cheers!

Facebook promoting a good cause- Organ Donation

Hi folks!

Have you ever thought of becoming an organ donor?

Recently i came across the news about Facebook to promote organ donation on tv and also in prints here at TheStar online.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has started this initiative after chatting with girlfriend Priscilla Chan, a medical student and also for his "friend", Steve Jobs who have underwent liver transplant in 2009. 

Everything we do makes a difference. And for this initiative by Mark Zuckerberg, it's going to reach out to more people to donate their organs!

Bravo!

Are you ready and willing to be an organ donor? Do you know, we can now fill up the organ donor form online via the Malaysian Society of Transplantation now? After filling up the details online, we just need to print out the form, sign it and mail it to the address listed on the form.

Check it out if you are interested :)

Cheers!

Campaign: Sign the Pledge- Free pneumococcal vaccination for Malaysian children

Hi folks!

A friend of mine showed me this website after she just sent her son for pneumococcal vaccination. I read about this while i brought my kids to our family doctor.

It doesn't come cheap. And it is not under the list of vaccination under our National Immunisation Plan (NIP). So there are still many children who are not protected as not all parents could afford.

If you are a parent like me and wish that more children get protection, do read more about this here sign your pledge here to support the call to make PnD vaccination available to all children in Malaysia.

I have signed (number currently at 961), how about you?

Cheers to healthier children! Let's do our bit, folks!

BerryBow and WAO Event at Publika, Solaris Dutamas, June 16

Hi folks!
 
Are you one fashionista who also loves doing charity at the same time?
 
Here's one outlet that you might be interested! You get to shop for fashion items and at the same time do your bits for charity, namely Women's Aid Organisation (WAO) or Pertubuhan Pertolongan Wanita.
 
I got this news from a blog i kinda read regularly since the first time i had my daughter and this columnist(now she has one column at TheStar), emcee, celebrity, etc has a column in Baiboo magazine.
 
So, yeah, if you planning to shop for some items (what about to reward yourself for upcoming Mother's Day), check this event out k!
 
And do help to spread the words...Thanks...
 
Cheers!

Busy Exam period?

Hi folks!
 
Last weekend, i went for a planned overnite at my younger sis's house. And some cooking, swimming etc planned out.
 
Totally forgotten that my kids would be having their exam this week....
 
So, uponr reading FB statuses of the "stressed-out" mommies, I just bring out all their books to revise for the subject to be tested on Monday.
 
It's Chinese for my girl and Chinese & Moral for my boy.
 
It's a bit challenging though to revise together at the same time as you get questions coming from both side. When i answered to one, the other one thought i answer to him/her. And when one had to wait, he/she got impatient.
 
Hohoho, so after going through the books for like 30mins or so....we hang up and took our nap..haha...am i over-relaxing? Afterall it's only nursery?
 
Well, i just felt, it's good to let them have the habits of revising, but no need the add-on stress.
 
I can see my boy dutifully showing me what to be revised...not bad for a 3year old going to be 4 next month. Whereas, my gal..phew....totally non-challant attitude...
 
Besides, this mommy being chinese illiterate doesn't help much...I had to refer to my iphone apps- talking dictionary for the pronunciation and meaning of the Chinese words....hohoho...
 
So, at night time when the dad is back from his outstation trip, I got him to go through with the girl who has "tougher" chinese works & words to be revised and go through...
 
Hope she can be more independant with her revision and school work expecially when she marched on to primary school next year...aiyaya..time for me to catch up more chinese ......before the 2013 comes...
 
Cheers and chill out k Mommies...don't over-stress yourself & kids!
