Affected residents were consulted on the new name of our new home... 3 names were pre-selected by HDB and we had to cast a vote:
(1) ONE CLEMENTI
(2) CASA CLEMENTI
(3) CLEMENTI RESIDENCES
I am a simple person, hence, I have voted for ONE CLEMENTI as I thought it's a simple enough name for older folks to remember and to pronounce. Probably easier for taxi uncles to remember in future as well. :)
The voting results was subsequently mailed to us.
Majority of the residents had voted for CASA CLEMENTI.
* One Clementi 39%
* Casa Clementi 43%
* Clementi Residences 18%
In Spanish, "Casa" means "House or Home".
Hence "CASA CLEMENTI" can literally be translated to "Our Home in Clementi".
It's still a pretty nice name lah. :p

Casa also known as Castle in general.
ReplyDeleteEveryone with a little pride in them wanted their home to be like their own personal kind of thing. Like their own castle.
Any idea when is or was the balloting held?
ReplyDeleteHi Goo,
ReplyDeleteApologies for my super late reply.
Thanks for sharing the insight, now i know the other meaning of Casa :D
For balloting for the Casa Clementi's leftover units, i suppose if HDB continues its current balloting practice, Casa Clementi's balloting should be in 2012 after the en-bloc residents get their keys.
Just an extra info for you, there are quite alot of units still available for balloting (from 2 Rm, 3Rm, 4Rm, 5Rm). High floor units are also available, but most of the sea-facing view ones are taken up :)
Frm: Ping
