Has PAC MAN anything to do with the designs of the various blocks of flats found in the attached street directory map? Or was the architect a fan of PAC MAN and wanted to immortalise PAC MAN in his/her design of the block of flats in various parts of Bukit Batok?

On all SIA flights: there is no such thing as ROW number 13. In the photo; you will see that there is a Row 12. And then followed by 14. Where is "row 13?" = none.

A while back, I visited a client in Bukit Merah. As his HDB flat is more than 30 years old; he told me that nearly every day; someone in his "slab" block is always changing floor tiles. And the noise from such renovations is quite unbearable. Fast-forward... two years ago, I visited the Sky Habitat show-room. And was "surprised" that such a large designer condo "slab" made up of two huge towers only provide "ceramic" floor tiles... And often, there is a likelyhood that especially after the flat(s) changed hands, some owners may most likely change the floor tiles. And since there are so many units in each block in Sky Habitat... erh... good luck to the owners! Assuming if…

The Sian Teck Tng Temple @ Cuppage Road.. seems to be like frozen in time and surrounded by modern buildings. Fortunately, the Central Expressway CTE that was built way back in 1982+ was built "around" it and was not torn down for this expressway... Photos was taken during the T.O.P. of Waterscape at Cavenagh Condo across the highway The Sian Teck Tng temple was founded by Master Ma Choon Qing in 1883

Another additional refinement is that the multi-storey carpark has an access link at the third storey (3rd level) link to a block. And that block has an additional link to the 2nd block. For example, at block 312C, there is a 3rd storey link. And blocks 312C and 312B are futher linked at level 3. See photo illustrations. This 3rd storey link serves an added function: no longer need to construct a roof for the ground level link between say blocks 312C and 312B. What is impressive is that the 3rd storey link of blocks 312C and 312B provides a ready shelfter for those walking at ground level from one block to the other. These two enhancements: the covered walkway + central b…

Most likely "the module" shown in the photo is a motor that spins it? What do you think?

Location: Mountbatten Road. (Used to be the main road connecting the East Coast to the city. That was before the ECP came into being) It is a pity that we can only see the Ang sana trees that were planted at least 30 to 50 years ago. What a pity, they are no longer planted on most of today's roads. As HDB estate roads are both narrow and does not have a road side divider; such trees are no longer seen in new HDB estates like Sengkang, Punggol, Choa Chu Kang etc... This tree has low branches and as they radiate towards the road; the branches were often trimmed. Even so, the tree managed to retain a balanced "umbrella" shape. The ang sana trees we…

CityLife EC recently TOP A case of during booking; one was pretty sure that this area in yellow zone was suppose to continue to be both green and a cycling dirt track... In Singapore, it is more likely that every corner will be turned into some kind of housing development: HDB/EC/codo or into a shopping mall etc...

A Red House Although the colour red symbolises prosperity for the Chinese. We rarely see actual homes or apartment complexes painted in bold chilli or deep maroon red. However, it’s different when it comes to shop owners or iconic hotels. Every once in a while, a daring architect and an even bolder client may come together and... P.S. Notice the red door with white borders—that’s part of a bao shop where I was standing to take the photos...

Traditional business wooden signage Nowadays many modern Chinese firms no longer use such signages: 1. Usually the horizontal or length-wise is based on odd measurements. This represents Yang. 1.1 The vertical side is even measurement: representing Yin. 1.2 For example: if the length of the sign is 127cm; the vertical side is 58cm etc. 2. A most distinct feature are the two support "animals" usually the Qi Ling or a pair of lions. 3. Less common are the two lotus leaf features of the second signage that of DJ Bakery. This signage is a modernist interpretation of the past... As it is embedded …

The owners of this desert house did a pretty nice job in creating a nice iconic traditional Chinese facade... Let's hope their dessert is just as nice?
