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.
