Home Moving Experience

The last time we moved was back in 1994 August from a 5-room HDB apartment to a 3-storey intermediate terrace house. The attraction was more space for each person and we were also rewarded with a garden in the front and back portion of the house. Our current home is also near a MRT station - Simei - and that made travel much easier whenever I do not feel like driving or paying expensive carpark charges.

With the moving away from home of our two children, there is now a need to down-size and be practical. It is becoming a challenge to clean three floors when in reality we only use 2 (we have to make effort to use the third floor occasionally). Our new home will be a second floor walk-up apartment in a very secluded environment.

Our balcony will face the fence of a huge military camp and with all the lush vegetation lining the fence, we practically have all the privacy we need. In addition we have a generous balcony area where we can place a number of our nice pots of orchids, aloe vera plants and ferns and still have space to dry our clothes.
Having coffee on our balcony will be a very relaxing experience for us and my wife and I are so looking forward to that.
On the other side of the house, our kitchen and the back-room will face the carpark and the service road linking all the carparks. there is a wide expanse of land separating the blocks of apartment unlike the pigeon-hole spaces in most new apartment projects including condominiums.

And when I explained to a dear friend that our apartment measures 1520 sqft, her reaction was that it is a mansion compared to her bird-nest sized apartment of only 700 sqft near the city.

So, bottom line, where is our new apartment? you might ask.  It is in Loyang Valley in the east and very near Changi Village. So for a generously sized apartment, at an extreme affordable price and in an excellent locale, we feel extremely blessed by ABBA God and indeed a neat way to round off an indeed restful year for us.
All glory to Jesus who had done it all for us.
