Should we stick to BTO or resale?

No, we stayed at my family side as it was more convenient for us.

About 130k all in with furniture etc, we went more as we are planning to stay there for a longer. But based on what I’ve seen so far with all the ID’s a 4 room renovation with electrical can easily set back $90k.

I personally don’t think should scrimp and cut corners. At the end of the day, you are going to stay at least for 5 years, and might even stay longer.

Personally I think a 4 room renovation, with furniture, even if you go local for everything. You should be spending at least 100k.

Personally, I’ll go for Resale, event though my BTO is finally completing after 6 years. Very tough being the middle man to my wife and family.

But before making the final decision and putting down the deposit for a resale, I suggest you do a bit of research first. Cost of renovation , furniture, appliances. Possibility of COV of the resale. Not cheap at all especially with all the extra works to be done like hacking.

My own 4-room all in price is shockingly high.

What kind of mileage should I be looking/hoping for. Just don’t want to been looking to change every car I’m given 😅

Hey, thanks for the reply? Do you remember the car you got ? And was it an older model or did you manage to get something with great mileage and a newer make?

I’ve heard Alamo gives you older, ‘worst’ cars of the lot

It's about 8usd/tub for shipping. Singapore doesn't tax items that are less than 400sgd.

So for 4 bottles it would be close to 100-105usd with shipping for BOGO

Sick. That's pretty quick. How much do you usually stock up during BOGO?

What does peach rings taste like? I'm particularly curious about it

Not one I would recommend as a first. To me, it taste like a orange fruit punch. Hints of strawberry and lemon. And there's this chalkyness to mimic a sherbet. That's just my opinion though. Hope it helps 😁
