    Updates, long overdue...

    Finding it more and more difficult to keep the blog updated with my life... Life goes on, it never waits. Nevertheless, I'll try to update more constantly. I'm glad to have the habit of taking photos of the sights I see, just need time to edit them and post them. Been damn busy with submission for a local competition, and now that it's finally over, it's time for some updates.

    One of the major happening things in my life recently was the purchase of my (our) HDB flat! After scouting around Serangoon Central for months, burning away wkends for resale flat viewings, we finally settled down with a 25 yr old unit along Ave 4... The ID works are currently on the drawing board, whenever I can steal some free time. Below are some pics of the 4-rm flat, taken when Matt and Yisu graced the house with their presence as we took some site measurements to facilitate our design.


    Orchard Ion. One of the 2 new shopping centres along Orchard Road, both of which I haven't stepped foot in. Sigh... It's time to make a point to visit these awesome shopping malls.

    Though I've missed the chance to visit Orchard Ion and Orchard Central, I've been to Iluma quite a couple of times. I've heard several criticisms about the planning and shop mix of the shopping centre, but there are still alot of interesting details to learn from.



    Pics of our NLB at Bugis. Took them before and after visiting Bugis Junction. K lah... it's a pretty nice building. "Decorative Tropical" style... hee hee~~~ No offence Mr Y.

    Below, publicity for a game that I've been wanting to buy, but on hold because of my vitamin M deficiency. Hmmm... perhaps when there is a pay raise or bonus... herh herh herh... though I doubt so, cause I'm lucky to be employed.



    The Pinnacle @ Duxton. I'm told that the Pinaccle is called the pinaccle, because of its significance as a milestone in HDB design, and its location in Tanjong Pagar, which belongs to Mr L. I'm starting to like the facade more and more. This was taken from inside the bus on my way to Master Crab @ Ghim Moh to meet my good friends for dinner. It was a memorable dinner... Went to Mr Cheah's house for some inspiration on HDB design. Below, a building visible from my office, Pearl Bank Apartments. I hope it doesn't get demolished any time soon... I think it's really a charming building.


    Taken from my house. The camera isn't able to capture the moon, but it was full that night. This is the general direction of my new HDB from Summer Place, though its blocked by these HDB blocks in the pic. Yes, the new flat is within walking distance from my home now, which is great.
