The seller/ tenant has officially vacant the unit though they had paid rental up to mid May 25. Yes, we 赚到. They had ceased the utilities on 16 April, and it is our turn to apply for the new account. Without power and water, no work can be done.
Applying an account with SP power is not difficult and can be efficiently done online. We got an appointment. Somebody needs to give condo access to the utilities staff and also be present if the switches are in the unit. We have no idea where the switches are and decided that it would be safer to be present.
Bcos I am the one with the flexible work arrangement, of course I am the one to be present. The appointment was on Friday between 9am to 10am. I was pleasantly surprised that we have a bus across our block that brings me very nearby to Rio Gardens, though the bus ride takes a good hour.
I buffered ample of time and Google map did its job very well, reminding me when to alight. I had to cross a long overhead bridge.
Then cut across some estate and the canal before entering Rio via the side gate.
It was a good 7 mins walk. Though unsheltered, most part of it was shaded.
The SP Powers staff turned up on time and I was even informed when they were arriving within the next 15 mins. That prompted a question - how to open the main/ side gate ah? I eventually figured out by testing out the telecom at the gate itself. Hoho.
In the end, I didn’t have to open the gate; I don’t know how the staff got in anyway. I also got to know that the switches are outside the unit. Hohoho. At least, the staff tested and confirmed that the power and water are switched on. Yes, we now have lights and water, but no fans. Hoho.
The next step? We will be meeting the IDs and their electricians next Wednesday evening for measurements. I think work will start soon after? Oh ya, the kids had finally seen the unit last week and now jiejie also wanted her bed on the bay window to maximise space.
