thanks savannite,
called up BB just now, they say that I should receive the VP notice within these few days. The last batch would receive it by 20th december. Now the agonising waiting phase is almost over, the pocket burning phase will start soon.
hehehe.....

Amount to be paid for the misc charges is around RM1300. (paid the TNB deposit earlier)

cheers!

Hi guys, I'm new here. Would like to ask how much and what fees that we need to pay in order for us to get the key?

how much is the TNB deposit already? I lost the bill.. :(

Trapper, visiting a frieng at vista angkasa the other day, saw a lot of construction going in front of your place (pantai panorama) is that by YTL ... Centrio? I thought it was at pantai dalam? Wow, that location is much better than pantai dalam la!! You beli tak? I heard it's affordable.

Nanti I nak tanya Kondoservis kalau this december 25 or 1/1/07 can organise party kat breezeway!! Anyone organising for the upcoming celebration??? Wht happened to the Champagne??

I dont know what they are building in front of PP, hopefully not low cost flats

Unit 6 ;)

Bingo! I was guessing it was unit 6 too from the layout and the direction :) hehe..can tell which floor is it?

Adi. i got your PM. Tell me more about this recyling hood thingy.

Farid...one of your switches must have tripped caused by the lightning strike and you've mentioned that a number of appliances and lights are not working. Usually there's one particular applicance/switch where the fuse might have blown and this affects other switches, due to the others being connected in some way to the affected switch. What you need to do is disconnect one appliance at one time and check whether the others work or not e.g. disconnect your microwave and see whether the remaining lights/fans work? To restore it, you'd be lucky if you can just replace the fuse, but normally the appliance might need repair...

hope not too long winded...:speech: :lol:

Adi. i got your PM. Tell me more about this recyling hood thingy.

ok mate...
afaik, basically there is 2 type of cooking hood or sucker.

1. the recycling type, where by no external vents are needed. the air is filtered and pump back into the kitchen. cheaper to own and cheaper and easier to install.

2. the chimney type, this one would need a vent or piping of the air out of the kitchen. this one is quite heavy duty. if u do a lot of oily/bbq/stir- and deep fry and u wanna do it in ur dry kitchen, then u must need this type. more expensive but its more heavy duty and efficient.

kwsp bank my money yesterday!!! yippy....

frankly, speed for both are more or less the same. Macrolynx has better customer service vs. TM. They are more personal and follow up quicker. ML works on demand and supply. They will continuously upgrade their pipeline as the subscriber base grow. I guess at this moment, with Havanna coming online, they will watch and see how many new subscribers will come in. Yes, it is slower than other broadband providers I have use, but I can live with it vs. TM which is totally crap in bandwidth and customer service.

Hi Zahir,
Thanks so much for the pics posted. 1 question, is the layout of Havanna's (those 3 bedrooms ~1350++sqft) same as Savanna's?

Cuz it seems it's a little different (with additional wall partitioning the living room and the entrance) than what I have seen from the Savanna's showhouse?

welcome to all the new forumers here.

next.. pet topic... I guess I agree with the Kondoservis approach. Legally not approve. If you seludup in and keep it under wrap and no noise... fine... but the moment guard or neighbor complain, say bye bye to the pet.

that way, everyone happy. Those with well behaved "furry kids" will get to keep them, and those who do not bother much but just to have a pet, will soon lose them.

KCB you hv a PM!!!....

:-)

hi savannite, this is your first time to apply from kwsp? Or we can apply kwsp for renno??
Hmmm...if u've applied for kwsp before, u can only withdraw subsequently after 5 years if I'm not mistaken. If lack of personal savings, what u can do is to try to get ur loan refinanced...some loan agreements allow for this. Any other forummers with an alternative idea - other than opting for ah longs of course

that IS an ugly sight!!!:bash:

yeah. that is what happen. cause some people are just too lazy to go to basement to throw away the garbage.

i thought KWSP change the rules last year? i mean..now u can withdraw from account II every year....anyone can confirm with that?

why is everyone going to tie up their stomach???
:laugh: direct translations are way too funny

i thought KWSP change the rules last year? i mean..now u can withdraw from account II every year....anyone can confirm with that?
yup...my apologies....just checked the kwsp website and found that withdrawals can be made once a year..that's good news for me too!!! :banana: :pepper:

yup...my apologies....just checked the kwsp website and found that withdrawals can be made once a year..that's good news for me too!!! :banana: :pepper:

but the subsequent withdrawal. will it goes directly to your bank for the reduction of your housing loan or they will issue you with a cheque under ur name like the 1st time you withdraw from account II?

It'll have to be directly to your loan account, hence this allowed yearly withdrawal can only be made to repay the loan, not to withdraw for renovations. So teri, kwsp is out of the option.

I think your fuse (in the fusebox) is fried. Go and check. Normally if kena lightning, you will see smoke :)

A lot of banks offering personal loans too now...hehe guess the banks also want a share of the ah long business! :) Another option if u need funds for renovation is to choose an interior design/renovation firm which allows u to pay by credit card. Some even have 0% interest monthly installments up to 1 year!

I think your fuse (in the fusebox) is fried. Go and check. Normally if kena lightning, you will see smoke :)

no. no smoke at all..n no burning smell at all. i was in my house at the time when it happen.

i know....but i found out that BSN is the best so far..with repayment up to 35 years. n maximum loan of 100k. i got the brochure last week, but throw it away, as it stated that to be eligible for the loan. the combined household income has to be 10k n above :D

no. no smoke at all..n no burning smell at all. i was in my house at the time when it happen.

so... must be the fuse in the box lah since no smoke from the fan or lights.

what u can do is to pull out a fuse from one of the working ones, replace it and test, if it works, take the fried fuse to the shop and buy the same lah.

aiyoh... easy lah. just pull out the fuse from the one which is fried, look thru the rest for a similar one and test. you won't die unless you poke your finger into the slot instead of a fuse.

Hello everyone! Having admired the photos of the breezeway, I was wondering is there a gym on that floor? A long time ago I was told that there would be, did this come to pass?

no. there arent any gym at the breezeway. the gym located at the ground floor of Havanna.

Hi mriac3, I have seen those gym equipments in one of the rooms but its not ready yet. The pool is absolutely stunning...not to mention the view..:lol:

Hello everyone! Having admired the photos of the breezeway, I was wondering is there a gym on that floor? A long time ago I was told that there would be, did this come to pass?

the proper gym is at the lobby level.

At the breezeway, there are some resistant-based exercise machines (those that do not need electricity, and quite robust to weather - used mainly in public parks) if you want to exercise with great view.

Are there any cleaning work being done at the breezeway? From the pics, it looks quite dusty, the timber flooring not yet polished etc....

the breezeway is not completed yet....still need some finishing touch.

dont u think that the resistance based exercise machines took a lot of space...
Were these 'resistant-based machines' included in the photographs? Actually, what are these, are they steppers, cycles etc?

Halo. Welcome to the forum.

Err....its one of the unit on the upper floor after breezeway. I didnt broke in technically. The door was not lock. But now the unit already locked the last time i checked ;)

The contractor is one of my friend. He did couple of unit in Seri Maya if im not mistaken...

ya..its good to take your time and get what you really want.

mine comes with the cabinets...i din get a choice to choose whether i want it or not...i wud hv preferred to get my own...but then, the one that's in the showroom is not bad either...lesser renovation work later...

Thanks guys. Zahirnya, so that nice KL view is not quite the view I will have, maybe mine is a bit lower then...
and disappointed that the gym is not on the breezeway.. still have to go downstairs!

About kitchens - do you guys think that Ikea is above average price or below average compared to local kitchen companies?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/zahirnya/IMG_1321.jpg

took this just now...around Village Square area.

aiseh......this is not really that bad. you all should see how they throw rubbish at block m basement 1. "goodness gracious!!!" is all i can say. the rubbish bins are empty and yet they will just leave their rubbish next to the bins. i think the rubbish bins' covers must be really heavy as they are unable to lift it up. kepala otak kat mana le?!

oh..you must be among the early buyer for Savanna. i was there at a later time pretending to be a potential buyer..haha..n they said that the kitchen will be included n come together with the unit. There wasnt no option to forgo the build in cabinet n everything that come along with it.

though the kitchen cabinet in the showroom was not that bad either. does it come with free fridge??

Yeah, all inclusive but it doesn't look bad at all. But the position of the cooking-hob-next-to-the-sink-in-the-corner looks a bit akward...

Went to the showroom to potter about a few weeks ago. Another duplex became available in one of the low rise units (Lanai 6 I think), someone could not get a bank loan... so I managed to view the unit, but was not very impressed... :ohno:

..let me guess...you wasnt impressed with Lanai penthouse cause of the position of the kitchen right..n the fact that the stairway located in the middle make it look damn..is it ackward or akward?? hmm..

n the kitchen ceiling is so damn low you can even touch it with you hand. n the position of the aircond in the master bedroom is totally out of place. n the fact that Lanai penthouse got 3 lanai is such a waste of space...

...n oh..one of the room does not have any windows at all....

axman,

i thot the kitchen cabinets and wardrobes are optional for savanna

farid,

Well I only remember that it is a corner unit, so when you look out of your balcony, you are looking into your opposite neighbour's balcony, and that's why I didn't like it. Also it is small... only 2 rooms upstairs... not sure what the point is of that duplex. Open air shower not bad, but you can see that maintenance is going to be annoying..

Yeah, I noticed your lamp too. I can name at least 3 other showhouses where I have seen your lamp! :nuts:

Hi Farid,
Not all duplex are alike- depending on the view and orientation. I quite like mine, facing Keramat hill bungalows- quiet and private. Bila free you can visit, perhaps then you can better appreciate the extra space (of course the downside is I cannot get your KLCC skyline view!)

Yeah, kind of wished that the Duplex I saw was more in the middle, then it would be pool view instead of neighbourhood watch. Abdullah, you visit mine, I visit yours? Maybe end-January.

Gosh that's good... the difference is easily RM10k per year

understood. pardon me for the ignorance. should put it like what u did. depends on the view n orientation. my view was based on the fact n experience that i got when visiting a corner penthouse unit that face the swimming pool. no pun intended ;)

Keramat Hill bungalow is not bad either..i do appreciate the view that u have as well. i think every unit has its own specialness. some people prefer pool view, some kl view n some genting view.

nope, was one of the late buyers - bought a cancelled unit in July this year...and it doesn't come with the fridge....

okay..that explain why. suddenly i want to visit the showroom again. want to see the whole thing again..n maybe ask them about the upcoming bachelor pad.

that duplex I saw was going for same price as a savanna duplex with KLCC view (but of course, all the savanna ones are already sold out) You probably got yours for less if you bought a couple of years ago.

eh... what bachelor pad??

Question : does anyone happen to know the location of the WhiteHorse Ceramic World shop by any chance??

there will be another high rise tower on the existing showroom land. you can visit the developer office, located on the ground level of the showroom if oyu want to see the entire blueprint of the whole development...

Yalah, one of my better decisions 4 or 5 years ago. But my unit is smaller than the one facing the pool- it doesn't have the extra family room upstairs- only master bedroom suite.

I think bachelor pad is going up at the current showroom site- is that right Farid?
abdullah

hehe....me felt the same too...i went to the showroom with my fiancee last week to check out the layout again. Excited about it eventho still got one more year to go :cheer: :cheer:

Its in Bandar Baru Selayang near the Selayang Stadium. Take Jalan Ipoh and head north, when you reach the ramp up to Selayang Jaya/Kepong, take the ramp up and turn to the right at the traffic lights. You'll reach a roundabout, take a 9 o' clock turn, and you'll see the showroom on the left. You can give me a call if you want, PM'd you. Can go together...

Yes, I know what you mean. I am rather excited about my unit in Savanna too!! Even thinking of all the renovation I want to do for that unit ..... though it is not that big, 1357 sqft only .... I actually thought of Ikea kitchen as well.... about 5k for a kitchen?

oh thanks dude. never been to Selayang before..haha..think have to look at the map tonite ;)

thanks for the very detailed route to the place. n yes, please pm me your no too...

The bachelor pad, a higher end unit compared to Seri Maya. Targetted at those young, up and coming professional with $$$ to burn or whose parents have surplus.......

Low density, (I think about only 100 units). 3 units facing KLCC and 2 facing Jelatek. Only 3 penthouses with direct view of KLCC. Swimming pool and Gym on the roof facing KLCC!!!

Starting price I understand starts from 500K and up up up......

For this area do you think this developement is worth the price??

Got the price from their magazine. I think that is the starting price for kitchen cabinets of course depending on the design selected (our kitchen are very small anyway...).

For the rest of the household, well, you will have to be very good at selecting furnitures from Ikea .... not all that cheap and it is not built in sort.....

I heard that one owner of Havanna (std unit) has been offered 400k for their unit. Bought for 300k.... Wow!!! Cepatnya naik. This is good news for Havanna owners...... hope it happens to Savanna as well .......

:( Still waiting for my notice...

btw for those of you who are taking UOB loan, did any of you received notice from UOB saying that they need to amend the loan agreement - it seems that they make a mistake...

From what I had gather from the new loan document received, it seems to be higher in interest rate than the package I enquired for and signed up earlier?? I was advised not to sign the so called amended agreement. Am now wondering whether it is illegal for Bank to do so or can I complained to BNM??

Also I notice that BB is not paying UOB interest from those statement I received from UOB. Hope I don't end up need to pay them...

Probably that why I had yet to received my notice...

wa, let's hope that's not the trick of those agent...

btw, for those taking UOB loan, i remember the agreement states that we r not allow to fully settle the loan within 5 yrs time, then what shd i do if i wanna sell my unit?? (btw, this is highly unlikely to happen as i would definitely move in, unlesss someone offer 500k..hehe):lol:

btw, called up adzmah and she told me they r waiting for the bank to make the payment and they hav also sent me the invoice for all the bla bla fees, insurance and etc....a whhooping RM1339 in total... but i'm still very excited, will make the payment as soon as i got back from my trip nez week :)

fully settle the loan = must pay early termination fees. Please check your loan agreement. The early termination fee is usually 1-3% of the outstanding loan amount.

In any case, the UOB loan is I believe a flexible loan, meaning that you can pay in extra if you want. Therefore you can reduce the outstanding amount to RM1, and this is not at all a problem. Only when the amount is zero then you have to pay the early termination fee.:banana:

i faintly remember that somewhere in the loan agreement.. yes you can pay in extra... but the rule is... whatever 'extra payment' you make within that year shouldn't exceed the amount of yearly payment...

so it basically means u can pay a max of your yearly payment each year as extra.

e.g monthly repayment = 1500

so that particular year you can only pay ahead 1500 * 12 = 18K.. on top of whatever is it that you're paying.

am a bit rusty and the S&P is in a dusty box under my bed.

correction - the uob loan is not a flexible one...whatever extra u pay will not be benificial as it doesn't reduce ur interest. U r just foregoing whatever interest you might earn (either thru fd etc) by paying that surplus amount. That's the down side of the loan and that's why i didn't take it. What Samah says is true, you can prepay your yearly payment, but this is not going to reduce your remaining instalments or your interest charged, so you might as well pay at the time u need to pay.

I just received my notice from Citibank that my first instalment is due...just paying interest for now...

uh i think it will reduce your principal right. though i'm not sure what will be the ripple effect of that... it's either

1) same monthly payment, shorter loan period
2) reduced monthly payment, same loan period

maybe someone could help me out.

Yes, for UOB Housing Loan, it will reduce your principal. Only thing is you can only prepay up to 12 additional monthly installments, if more than that u need to give the bank advance notice in writing as per the terms stated in the loan. The effect will be a shorter loan period. If u want a reduced monthly payment with the same period, u need to give instruction to the bank.

how much you paying for your interest now?
think its 1% for the first year...my billings were at 65% completion, so its slightly less than RM100...

uh i think it will reduce your principal right. though i'm not sure what will be the ripple effect of that... it's either

1) same monthly payment, shorter loan period
2) reduced monthly payment, same loan period

maybe someone could help me out.
its same monthly payment, shorter loan period. U lose out by paying extra interest for a shorter loan period. If I'm not mistaken, its kind of fixed how much u need to pay. And if u want to overpay, they make it troublesome with all those red tape such as advance notice and stuff like that, whereas a lot of banks give out flexible loans where u can overpay any amount and interest is on a daily rest basis. Over a long term, the savings can be quite substantial. Under the UOB loan arrangement, T&T will pay the interest upto completion, but then with my loan, i'll only lose out up to a maximum of RM3k and this is assuming that its a 100% loan drawdown from day 1. I can save a lot more in later years by putting in excess money over a time period. That's why UOB didn't look attractive to me...

I know this thing being erected since the "dirty blonde" case...but...errr...

why??? ugly is it??? the cones are there temporary until the cement dries up. The poles are the simplest and cheapest execution. Let's see whether they can use stainless steel ones that will look nicer :)

U can cut down your interest for UOB Loan too by prepaying. Only condition is your prepayment is up to maximum 12 times of your monthly payment in a calendar year. UOB Bank loan also calculates interest on a daily rest basis. I think the UOB Loan package is quite ok as for 1st year it's at 1% (developer pays the interest till Vacant Possession, 2nd year it's at BLR-1% or 5.75% currently and from 3rd to 5th year it's at BLR. After that I'm going to refinance! :)

that will be a lovely idea. more green thingy. better than a steel industrial product.

beside a big potted plant will make people to think twice if they want to ran their car across n use the Linear Park again with their car :lol:

agreed...placing those cones and upright steel bars are ugly...i've seen how the place was before and i think it spoils what was intended in the first place - a nice area to live in with a freely accessible park....why do we need low-intellect ppl like that blonde lady come over and spoil our place? Can't we just treat that as a one-off incident rather than making the place a steel mess?

i was more for digging some pebble ditches all over the Linear Park. Nicer and we can trapped those who drive thru especially motorbikes... hahahah:banana:

i know lah... that's why I called Aris to propose potted plants instead.

oh..i know what happen to the exit at Block M. Yesterday they open back the shutter, so when i swap my access card..the barrier was not working. swap no many times also nothing happen.

so the guard came to me n then manual operate the barrier which when i cross the line i asked him what happen. he said.."something wrong with the switch"

i asked him again if i cross this exit, mean when i come back later in the evening my access card will not allow me to come in since the access at Block M was not detected from the control room. he said yes.

what to do..reverse the car back n exit from the other way.

n now..so many car blocking the exit way :rant:

Sorry for wrong info - so you checked the loan agreement? I remember that the early repayment penalty is comparatively low. So can even refinance now (post VP) as some banks offer zero cost refinancing...

hmmm...that is so teruk of them...so uncivic minded :ohno:

5K.

another way to rip off the custormers. toyota used to be serviced at 5k then one day they claim they have improved their oil, so change to 10k.

they will not charge you. cause what they will give you is the color code n you have to find it yourself.

Just took delivery of my Havanna unit yesterday. Did a walk about just now- breezeway view at sunset is fantastic! But they need to start maintenance asap- some of the poor plants are already dead- the soil was dry as desert.

Pools looks good. Spa pool and jacuzzi also operating but need cleaning of sand and some debris (but no salt water!). Some of the edge of staircase leading to spa pool already chipped- dangerous- hopefully they replace the broken tiles.

Overall, quite happy with the finishing.
(ps- I tried using the Havanna card at the Jelatek gym door- doesn't work! so the Jelatek gym is exclusive for Lanai and Jelatek residents only).

Yup, i think the Havanna gym, breezeway and pool is also only for Havanna residents only. Not too sure how it will be for Savanna unit owners...would be good if we had exclusive facilities too...
