Staying at "The Clift"
Staying at "The Clift"
Hello,
I am looking for a good condo either in the central area at River Valley or in the Marina area.
Yesterday my agent showed me the clift. It looks quite good but I read a lot of bad reviews on ..
So is there anyone who has some experience with the clift?

I was being facetious.
The title of the thread is "Staying at "The Clift"".
One stays at a hotel, and lives in a condo.
Unless of course one was staying at a friend's place like The Clift.
I've only heard that since coming here. And consistently.

The concept of having a full on airport-style cocktail lounge on the ground floor is very different. [I wonder how that fits in with the owner's service charge accounts, and the knock-on into the rent].
It's hard to give an opinion, since you have not outlined your circumstances/wishes.
For me, I'd hate to live so 'downtown'. Like moving to London, working in the City, and getting a cocktail lounged up condo on Finsbury Circus or something...

To throw a further spanner into the works, one of my traders used to live at the Oriental Hotel. Yes, really, apparently it is possible!Addadude wrote:Not in Singapore. It's very common for locals to ask "where do you stay?" in place of "where do you live?" I even find myself saying it these days.

But I won't do what addadude does and accept the mangled English.
My usual respose - "Stay? Oh no, I live here".
Besides I think 'The Clift' is a jarringly awkward name. [Side thought: I wonder who dreams these things up, and whether they speak English]. It's one stop short of D'Clift.
Resident: I've moved into a condo: The Clift
Resident's mother: The what?
Resident: The Clift!
Mother: Isn't that a medical condition?
Resident: No Mum [sigh], the condo is called The Clift
Mother: Oh no you're living on a cliff, do be careful!?

Even The Economist has noted the "pounding" English takes in Sg property circles.JR8 wrote:Besides I think 'The Clift' is a jarringly awkward name. [Side thought: I wonder who dreams these things up, and whether they speak English]. It's one stop short of D'Clift.

Brilliant....
Where to live...
'Poshgrove East' > http://condo.singaporeexpats.com/condo/ ... GROVE-EAST
[Thinks: From Westbourne Grove > Poshgrove.... can only be good right?
]
'The Morning Glory' @ Sirat Road. (the site auto-deletes any link)
Do they run no kind of linguistic audits on what these names mean?
