Why I love my new home


  • It’s just opposite Bedok Reservoir, wonderful greenery view and water view.
  • It’s on the second highest floor, great for enjoying the view.
  • I can see lovely lights in the horizon, of the reservoir and even the mass of headlights of vehicles on the expressway in the evening.The blocks in my estate are widely spaced out.
  • I love it when it pours especially at night. I can sit at the edge of my sofa (which is right next to the balcony) and enjoy the wind but still not get wet. (I love the sound and smell of rain btw)
  • It has a huge adult pool and kiddie pool, both of which my son and I enjoy. An easy way to enjoy a day at home, without having to go out! Every time I swim in the pool, I feel so blessed!
  • There are two playgrounds for my son to have fun at.
  • The landscaping in my condo area is beautiful.
  • I have a huge sofa to recline on and a big LCD TV (when I find the time to watch TV)
  • My bathroom of course! (read my entry “Nothing beats a leisurely shower”)

    I had never lived in a condo before so I'm naturally amazed by condo living. Ha ha. I also understand now why people who grew up in the idyllic East (such as my husband) would usually want to return to the East even when they have moved somewhere else.

Conrad Bali - here we come!


Alv and I are taking off to Bali this coming Sunday for our just-us annual getaway. He made a booking at "Luxury Conrad Bali" (that's what the web site says) for the Deluxe Lagoon Room, which is a room on the ground floor that opens up to one of the pools in the hotel.

I can't wait to just spend time alone with him, nuah by the poolside, soak in the water and the sun, have some great seafood...Maybe I'll swim some laps everyday and get some exercise too.
