resume after general election

hi,

will take a longer break, posting will resume after general election, because now everybody in the election fever, we can't get ourselves exempted, day & night follow election news, and even attended the ceramah & rally, so since can't find time to write quality article, might as well give way to election, so will write to u guys again after election.

thanks.

see u tonight at the party!

as at the moment, we have abt 40 families signed up for the annual party tonight, go by average of each family comprises of 2 adults & 2 kids, the we can expect the crowd size of >100, which consider as "big" compare to those annual party we had before, we normally have abt 80 ppl to 120 ppl turned up in the gathering, but last year was exceptional, far more than 120 (adult & kids), but again as we do expect some residents will do walk in registration later, so perhaps the number can hit 120 as well.

this year's party selling point will be the satay & ice kacang, which both got good commend last year, but too bad can't arrange the clown & DiGi to entertain the kids as we didn't have enough time to get it arranged, remember we were nearly skip the party because need to save money for lift upgrade, but thank God we did get fund from gov't for the project, but then with only 2 weeks' time we tried to put things together, then got to sacrifice few items.

lucky draw still good, total 16 items to offer, microwave oven, induction cooker, hampers, cash voucher....., actually each time when residents come for the party, they sure get more than what they have paid, imagine one adult will only to pay RM8 for at least 2 pcs of balacan chicken, abt 10 pcs of satay, ice kacang (besides fire rice, bee hoon, nugget, drink..), & even got good chance to bring home lucky draw item, then their kids will even enjoy more with games & prizes....

but if there's anything more significant than the above, then I will say is to build a caring community among Vista Residents, it's a real purpose to have the gathering every year, we hope that as residents come together, sit together having meal together, seeing their kids play together, thru this "togetherness" to bring our residents closer to each other, for it's a foundation for the caring community in Vista Condo.

of course this year's gathering is much more meaningful as we also make it an appreciation party for the 2 YBs, YB Wong Hon Wai for his approval to release the fund for the lifts upgrade, & for YB Yeoh Soon Hin for helping us in many matters, even the lift upgrade too, he has guided us how to go abt it for the fund application.

for those who has signed up, thank you very much....., for those who still want to join the gathering but hasn't sign up, pls do drop by also as tonight we plan to ask fund from YB for the building painting, so as more residents turn up to make this request hopefully he will give more consideration on our request (if he still an EXCO for housing matter) after election.

see u all.....

big projects, 2 down, 1 to go, what next?

gov't financial aid of 125K for the lifts really bring us much relief, financially speaking.

so now as we have settled the entrance shade & going to start the blk k lifts upgrade, thru God's grace & gov't's help, we have basically completed (and going to) 2 major projects, well, time to consider the next big project, the painting of vista condo.

we don't want to give false hope, but this will take awhile, again it will involve much prayer to God, calling gov't depts, sending in requests & other documents, meeting with them...., can't say how long can it be completed, but if it happen in 2013 then it's a great bonus for vista residents.

most likely after election, we will try to arrange an appointment with EXCO member, together with some contact inside gov't dept, present our request to them as low medium cost apartment, try to push for 80% - 20% arrangement, so if painting cost is 300K, then we hope they give 240K & from vista resident 60K.

give the best scenario, EXCO again approve our request, then we should check our account, if by then have huge saving like 60K, then we will straight away deposit our 20% to state treasury dept to seal the deal, but if fund is too low then will need residents to pay SC in advance or pay extra RM200 per unit, but it's still too early to discuss that, first thing first, wait for the election to be over.

well, another possible arrangement which without involve gov't aid, there will be talk to vendor who is kind enough to give us long year payment term, something like after job is completed then we pay them 30k as first payment, then monthly installment abt 4k which still affordable for us, by this it will take abt 5 to 6 years to complete, in fact now we are exploring that option....

(if sinking fund come during this period of time, then repayment need not to take that long)

but of course we are much more prefer to get fund from gov't, also like to promote our residents' annual party here, beside nice food (include ice kacang, satay...) & lucky draw (more than 15 items to be won!!!), YB Wong will be here with us too, we just want to make a simple request to our residents, can u pls come & say thanks to him, perhaps when he see our appreciative attitude, this will make it easier for us to talk to him again on future financial aid for the painting.

thanks.
