The Singapore Flyer: National Discoball

Oh yes Mister Minister, the multi-colors represent a creative multi-racial society.

For the people behind the Singapore Flyer who are wondering 'where the hell did it go wrong?', please don't knockoff at 5pm as usual. Stay till the sun is out and take a good bloody look at that hideous discoball of epic proportions!

I shrink at the thought of my foreign friends giving me the look should we drive pass it.

Merry Christmas! With a Sick Twist...

Apologies for the lull in posts, have been away on my much needed R&R.

Came home, flipped through the papers and spotted gruesome stuff that will be met with the most displeasure by the owners of Viz@Holland. Here is the online version:

"A yet-to-be-identified body of a woman was found at a construction site along Queensway on Sunday. It was found at around 10.45am by a worker on the third storey of a block at the District 10 condominium development called Viz@Holland." - Channelnewsasia

While my heart goes out to the deseased, I am pretty sure this could be devestating to the owners of the Viz@Holland. I hope the culprit is caught and dealt with swiftly.

My questions are:

• Will the contractor (Sim Lian) even be upfront with the owner of that particular unit or will the whole Condo be condemned (sorry if it sounds a little harsh)?


• Will the owner be compensated, after all it was under the contractors charge that this happened?

While worksite accidents are not uncommon, this opens up a large can of worms on worksite accidents and the rare brutality. oh, and this condo is surely going into my Little Black Book.

Lumos - I didn't Get Invited

So I was told that I wouldn't (and couldn't) get invited to the Lumos Preview along Orchard, because my usual banker isn't part of this little coup. Apparently only Maybank, Citibank and HSBC bankers get to invite their clients to the preview. For that, Koh Brothers Group Limited & Heeton Holdings get a special place in my Little Black Book.

Whining aside, expect to cough up 3-3.5k psf to live in a giant jewel case.

If someone gets their paws on the floorplans/brochure for this one, please email me at realgossip@gmail.com.
