I saw in the condo forum that the Nautical has been fully sold (except the reserved 5 units). I have been hoping for this since I bought it last year.
I quickly text my agent and he replies that it is true. Although it takes about 1.5 years to sell all units (435 units), I must say that the remaining ones are the patio units (ground floor). Most Singaporeans do not want to stay on the ground floor. I guess the developer must have given good discounts to sell the remaining 8 units.

Progress of The Nautical
I received the notice that the banker had paid the developer the 10% (foundation completed) and my loan repayment will start in May. So, I drove by The Nautical and took some photos of the development. I hope I'm not infringing any rights by posting the photos. The photos were taken from the staircase at the side of the Sembawang Shopping Centre (SSC).

NS45 Benefits for NSmen
Update - 27 May 2013:
Yesterday, I spent all my $100 voucher on milk powder, baby diapers, toilet rolls, etc at the NTUC fairprice. The cashier was telling me that some got $80 and I was lucky to get $100. Well, I told her that it depends on the NS status.
I have yet to receive my HometeamNS-passion card. I called NS45 and they told me that my particulars are missing. I asked them what I have missed and they told me to give them my email address and phone number. This is strange as they had my mailing address and I had received the vouchers. I asked the counter lady at the HomeTeamNS club, and it seemed that there are delays in sending the cards. I hope that they should give later expiry date since I have not gotten my card. Anyway, I asked the NS45 counter lady to print out the letter and I can still continue to use my expired card.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Last week, I received my $100 worth of HomeTeamNS and a year's free HomeTeamNS membership. This is to commemorate the 45th Anniversary celebrations of National Service (NS) in Singapore and to thank the National Servicemen for their dedicated service to the nation. As I have completed the ORNS training cycle, I have entitled to $100 worth of vouchers and one year free membership.

This may not be a big amount but at least we are recognised for our service to the nation. The vouchers are valid for one year and you will need your ID card to use the vouchers.
Most of my colleagues have not received them and well, there are over 900k NSmen which will take more time for the personalised vouchers to be printed and delivered via mail.
So, for those who have not received the vouchers, please have some patience and the vouchers will be in your mailbox soon.

Phewtick app - no more ticket system
I was about to delete my Phewtick app when I saw the email from Phewtick that the meet-up ticket system has been removed. Oh yes, I got the cash in my paypal account. However, it was much less than I thought when I compared with my colleague who cash-out few weeks before me. I got about ¥1680 as compared to my colleague who got ¥2040.
The new rule is that you get unlimited meet-up tickets but you can only scan the same person after 1 hour. However, I think the number of points you will get will be very little and I just got 9 points for meeting someone.
Anyway, probably I will just keep it so that if someone wants to scan me, I will get to have points and maybe another cash-out in the near future.

Check-in at Zurich Airport
Going home today... Now waiting at Gate E67 for SQ flight back to Singapore.
My colleague buys two cups of coffee because we are trying to get rid of our coins... Wow, two cups for CHF10.20... That is pretty expensive.

Hotel Sedartis & Zurich Lake
We arrived in Zurich on 11 Mar morning and managed to check-in the rooms at 9am. After freshening ourselves up, we made our way to our company.
In the evening, we went to the Zurich Lake and took some photographs of the lake and swan. There are ferries/boats running along the lake to ferry people and cars.

It is snowing in Zurich now...
My colleague told me that it will snow this Thursday, 14 Mar... Well, it is snowing now...
Sitting in the conference room and looking outside of the windows, I can see the snow coming down from the sky. It is picturesque.
On Wednesday, we went to have dinner at Adlisberg. It is located on the hilltop and my colleague told me that it is very near to FIFA headquarters. My colleague was using his GPS to navigate up the hill.
We passed by the Dolder Grand hotel and were impressed with the design and the castle towers. I was wondering how the hotel guests go down the hill to the city area.
Over the last 2 days, we went to two different restaurants to have lunch. One is Ban Thai http://www.restaurantbanthai.ch/ at Adliswil. I ordered a shrimp set meal and it was quite hot and spicy. However, being an asian, it was not that spicy as we are used to eating chilli. I would say that the European will probably need a lot of water to go with this.
The other restaurant that we went is Gasthof Rose http://www.roserueschlikon.ch/. There were seven of us and we all ordered the garlic chicken set menu. We managed to empty the plates and I would say that the taste and texture were quite nice.
The decor in Gasthof Rose is quite nice. It has a few unique "time-piece" and pendulum liked devices.
