Couple of days ago, I, on behalf of my company was invited to attend the launch of YTL's new development site - The Grove at Lakefields (Sg Besi). The night before, I did some research, went through the site plan, planned ahead and strategize which unit to grab as I was number 25 in que (we had arranged our men to que overnight at the site and they had been queeing since in the afternoon the day before the launch! Yet there were still 24 people ahead of us!).
Friday, 24th June 2011. At 7.45am, dressed down in jeans and a comfortable peach colored blouse, I head over to Lakefields and took over the que. I sat firm at no.25 awaiting for the actual registration to begin. I was in deep thoughts, secretly hoping that the 24 people in front of me would not select the unit that I want (I aimed for any one of the units that faces east and is away from the water tank! And there were only a handful of them).
At 9.00am, the organizers gave us the cue. The excitement began....
 |
| The "buyers" rooted at their respective chairs...labeled with self-made que numbers (pretty well organized at this point) |
 |
| My lucky number |
 |
| The first batch went in I stood outside looking in...turning on my eagle eye |
 |
| The SemiD house model |
 |
| A vision of how the entrance would look like when its completed |
 |
| The Grove, a YTL development at Lakefields, Sg Besi |
 |
| We only have 1 minute to choose the unit we want! The way we were behaving, it felt like we were in a "pasar malam" (night market)! |
 |
In less than 1 hour, only 4 units left...a clear sell out! |
Well, did I manage to achieve my goals? Sure I did! It was an amazing experience! I can't wait to see how it would look like in a few years time when its fully developed, with the beautiful lake next to it...!
Love it! Want it! Invest in it!
Watch this space!
