14 February 2004 With the dawning of Period 8 I become more and more worried about my new terrace house as to whether it is considered a Period 8 house or it remains to be a Period 7 house. I signed the Sales and Purchase Agreement on September 8, 2001, and the house was completed on December 12, 2002. I then left the house vacant until December 2, 2003, to start the necessary renovation on the front and back portion of the house. The heavy knocking and reconstructing the certain parts of the house was fully completed on January 30, 2004. Now I?m waiting for the interior designer to furnish the whole house and that is supposed to be completely done by April 2, 2004. I expect to move in around late April 2004. All that time and that is from the date of December 17, 2002, that I took the keys to my new house till even now I have not occupied the house. A period of more than 1 year and 75 days till today and I still cannot occupy the house until the interior designer has carried out what has to be done. Thus, I need to your advice on the exact period of my new house. I tried to make it into a Period 8 house and that is why I waited till December 2, 2003, to start the renovations to it. And because of the 2004 Chinese New Year the workers rush to complete the necessary works by January 30, 2004. They are not willing to drag it till after February 4, 2004. My question remains to be whether my house is a Period 8 or 7 house. The more I tried to figure it out the more confused I become. Please let me have your kind advice. Thanks. Sincerely yours, Eddie Yeoh Cheng Teik
