This is a collection of photos (close-up) of the front view of the entrapped house. In several of the pictures, one can see that this entrapped house is virtually abandoned. Tell tale signs include partial broken awning. In my opinion, there is virtually no cure for such a entrapped house. Yeah! Move out! Not fit for human living. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. In the 1960s to 1970s, the bougainvillea plant, especially the red and purple varieties, was very popular with Singapore landed property homes. 2. Many people planted bougainvillea at the corners of their homes for a reason: with its thorns, it was less likely for a robber to climb into the home from the fencing area. 3. However, the bougainvillea plant needs constant trimming, or it can quickly become overgrown. 4. This house has both bougainvillea and, just behind the cluster of bougainvillea plants, the Lipstick or Maharaja palm. The Lipstick palm has been very popular from the mid-1980s till today, surpassing bougainvillea and even mango and rambutan…

The Lipstick palm is very popular in many landed property homes in Singapore. Many plant this palm at the corner of their landed property. Firstly, Chinese feel that red symbolises luck; and this palm is very easy to grow.

1. This is a typical interior layout of similar flats as those shown in the earlier photos. 2. The earlier phaseat Belimbing Avenue in the same estate 3. From the interior layout plans; there are no clues to the curved or semi-arch roof of typical terrace homes located at Oasis@Mulberry. 4. Most of the private apartments / condos use only a 1/4 semi-circular design. Not a 1/2 circle design as shown, here.

The oldest public housing development is located along Tiong Bahru area. The old airport road area type of public housing is considered second to the abovedevelopment. Fortunately, these quaint 1960's type of public housing has not being demolised along Dakota Crescent. These are "retained" for now... Because of it's close proximity to Singapore's first ever airport located near-by (currently People's Association along Nicol Highway; these flats are always up to a certain resticted height. Since the airport had moved to Paya Lebar and now to Changi airpot; newer development across the street e.g. Jalan empat etc... are high rise development. Not limited by the height rest…

1. Please refer to attachment. 2. In the attachment, there are three plots that are circled in RED. 3. In the attached government survey map, the circled (RED) areas shows that the plot is often undergoing re-building. 4. Often, either by coincidence or otherwise, all the three plots circled in RED have a large canal behind the home. 5. By coincidence, most likely these homes have changed hands e.g. sold by the existing owners for one reason or the other. And often, a new owner would rebuilt a home on these plot of land. 6. If you notice carefully, to the right of the canal and the three circled areas, there are few if any plots that are undergoing a rebuilt.

This year, is the year of "sky bridges". And this "sky" bridge at HDB Casa Clementi should be considered the Mother of all sky bridges... Look at the two photos, it must costs quite alot of money to build an oval elderly friendly link bridge. BUT, we do pity the person pushing say a wheel chair from the ground up onto this ramp very elaborate rap. For heaven's sake, all blocks have lift and they also stop at this "garden" area. In my opinion, no wonder, why the price of new government or rather PUBLICH housing home priceshave shot-up! SOME ONE MUST have been made to subsidise such elaborate structures... GUESS WHO?

The slender front of the renowned Khong Guan Biscuits Factory takes us back to the 1950s. The primary entrance features a RED star. One might have assumed that this was once the headquarters of a Communist Party, were it not for the sign above that reads "Khong Guan Biscuits". How nostalgic!

Case Study: This home has a very practical and functional window design at their flat/unit with living room windows sharing the common corridor of a HDB flat. The home owners changed the existing sliding windows by "splitting it into two. With the lower half being frosted. Has to anything to do with Feng Shui? Not directly. It has more to do with common sense. For example, if one is more likely to open the windows because of the split windows; this means that the home can be more airy and allow for better ventilation within. As compared to a home owner that always closed all their windows facing the corridor for fear that someone could peep in or for p…

Related: Which units are lucky at Skyville @ Dawson? +++ Even if an architect is only paid to design the interior layout; at least; the architect should try to put themselves "in the shoes of home owner". How true; always that: "We stay there, you don't applies!". Just take a look at this HDB 4 bedroom flat layout in some of the stacks of Skyville @ Dawson. (See attachment). A. THE LIVING ROOM 1. Although the living room width is of a generous or rather "too generous" size; instead; the architect should have should have an allowance at marking in red "A" for a reasonable sized dining table, there. 2. As a result of this no…

HDB Keat Hong Pride is within the greater piece of land which once was an army camp i.e. Keat Hong camp. HDB Keat Hong Pride sits at the fringe of once was the fence of the army camp. And distinctively the MRT trains are so close, but yet so far. Hopefully the government heed the request by new residents of this estate to have another train station "Keat Hong station". Similar to the Dover station and the current under construction Canberra station.

Catholic: The Church of the Holy Family in Katong Even near-by roads are named after it. Such as Chapel Road. Did you see how many languages? English, Mandarin & Indian. Representing the wide influence it has with these three races in Katong. The construction of the road, now known as East Coast Road in early 1920 facilitated the development of Tanjong Katong. Some families purchased plots of land in the area, which included Mr. James Leonard Scheerder, who developed a coconut plantation around Marine Parade, Chapel and East Coast Road. The De La Salle Brothers also bought a plot of land, at which the St. Patrick's School now stands. At that time, the Broth…
