Well here's a cute little quote regarding the Turquoise at Sentosa from a forum that I often visit:

"What are the allowances for unusually high tides? Imagine seawater pouring into the swimming pool --- it only has to happen once, everyone will start screaming about global warming, and the values of all these places will sink like a stone in a rising ocean..."

Wow...talk about spooked investors...Oh...and Al Gore for President!

The STI has outdone itself again with another all time record high. That with the Integrated Resorts, One Degree 15 (ala Big Boy's Boat Club off Sentosa) and F1 Racing will only add more octane into the already highly charged atmosphere...

The index closed 48.99 points higher at 3,755.22, erasing the previous mark of 3,714.77 set only last week, Thursday.

Me wonders if my kids will ever be able to afford a place for themselves on this soon-to-be rich man's island.

Freehold

Around 34 units
3 and 4 bedrooms 2000-2200 Square Feet

STI All Time High: 3714.2 +64.1 at 2.30pm

STI has hit an all time high at 3714.2 +64.1 at 2.30pm.
Lets hope this rally sustains! Tis' can only be good for them property!

Could be a spillover effect from today's huge rosy picture painted by The Business Times today.

Like what one of my drinking buddies said: 'Singapore will never be the same again!'
