Watching the cranes at work while enjoing my lunch.
One of the few coffeeshops in the neighbourhood central.
That's the power of 10x zoom on my Lumix.
The Most Progressive Award goes to the Multi Storey Carpark.
The often forgotten part of the site. Junction of Ave 11 and Ring Road.
The carpark from another angle.
That's where my block will stand. Nothing done at all.
Progress of Jade Spring Phase 1 and 2.
Works being done to the carpark area.
The machinery had increased since my last visit.
The future entrance to the estate.
That's where my block will stand!
I believe the foundation work of the carpark is completed.
... at HDB today. Registered and waited patiently for our number to be called. Keeps on flipping through the documents to confirm that I have brought everything required. The staff serving us is an interesting auntie. She talks very sloowwww. Though my guess is that she wants to make sure we catch everything she says, but I still find her interesting and a joy to listen too. Dooon't yooouuu agreeee?
... I finally received my HDB letter of appointment for the signing of agreement of lease.
Appointment details: 20/08/2008 @ 1010hrs.

Another day view of the building site. Taken from Blk 440. Yishun Ring Rd runs horizontally separating Jade Spring and Yishun Park. To the right is Yishun Ave 11.
Night view of the building site. Taken from Blk 440.... for our unit selection. We reached there half an hour earlier to collect our Queue number. We sat there and monitor the sales status, hoping that the unit we want will not be chosen by others. We initially chose the unit after studying the floor plan and layout and later realise that the number coincides with the date we got together. But after much studying, we chose another unit as our first choice as it seems it's the only unit with a possible purchase of the corridor recess area. The fort was held tight but unfortunately, we loses it at the last minute. It got chosen by someone 2 to 3 queue number in front of us. Well, everything happens for a reason. Maybe we are destined to get our initial choice. So we hope and pray that it does not get chosen by Mr and Mrs Q-80. It was a gruelling wait and at last, our number flashes on the LED board. Luckily, all is not lost. We got it!

... of Jade Spring Yishun. It lies along Yishun Avenue 11 and Yishun Ring Road. Though it is quite a distance from the Yishun Central, but there are 2 feeder services available so it should not be too bad. And i have been living at the edge of Yishun for the past 20 odd years so taking feeder service is a no sweat for me. Let's get oriented: the lush greenery to the west is Yishun Park. North-East lies the neighbourhood central. To the south is Northbrook Secondary School.
