Build-To-Order flat

a type of housing launched by the Singapore government that is built according to demand, which is determined by the number of applicants and their downpayment.
2011. Asia Singapore What is Build to Order HDB 1 Apr (Online). With BTO, HDB announces sites for new flats and interested flat buyers submit their applications within the application period. After the application period is closed, HDB conducts a computer ballot to determine the queue position to book a flat. Once this queue is constructed, HDB invites applicants to book a flat. This exercise is followed by an assessment to determine whether to build the project or not. If HDB decides to go for the project, tenders are invited for the construction of the flats. After the flats are built they are handed over to their buyers.

2013. The Straits Times Scrap executive condos and focus on BTO flats 2 Jan (Online). In May, HDB will offer 4,850 BTO flats in Choa Chu Kang, Hougang, Jurong West, Sembawang and Woodlands.

firing order

Da unique progressive sequence in which da head of a service-garage sacks each of his dumb-a** mechanics due to their screwing up da placement of da ignition-wires on car-engines dat they're workings on.
Tronald Dump was notoriously heavy-handed and irrationally flippant about terminating da employment of his hapless apprentices, so it's a good thing he didn't run a garage where they repaired ignition-systems, or his firing order would likely have been even more despicable; besides, I seriously doubt dat his "rich 'n' pampered Daddy's-boy" fingers have ever even experienced handling a wrench or screwdriver to actually do any auto-repairs of his own, and so he would have no room to talk, anyway. Why, he probably couldn't even understand or follow da written/drawn instructions in a Haynes repair manual, and so how could he possibly be justified in criticizing anyone else if said naive laborer goofs up once in a while???
