On paper it gets us “two carpark lots” but in reality it’s an unlimited number of lots because nobody cares and the foreign workers staying around here cycle.
It's probably one of the few private apartments in Singapore where there are too many carpark lots.
The carpark then becomes the playground downstairs for the kids and other kids in the compound.
Frankly it’s the only facility we have: One carpark fringed by a large patch of unkempt cow grass with loads of mosquitoes.
Some evenings if I feel up to lugging two bikes, one trike and a skate scooter down 36 steps (and then up), I bring them down for a spin.
It is large-ish space, vaguely unsafe because of the cars which drive in and out.
* Lu at the half-way point of the carpark and her sibs at the other end.
It is where Day honed his cycling skills (using the carpark lot markers to weave in and out) and where he is now trying out his skate scooting skills.
It is where they have all fallen down and scraped their knees at some point because, well, it’s road.
More photos, one of each kid.
Just because I love the higgledy-piggledy look at the blocks (60s vintage eh!) and because everyone seems to assume it will be going en-bloc anytime (which I do NOT want now, for the record).

Hey, please don't think that I'm stalking you or anything. But, do you leave on the East side, because your development looks too darn familiar! It's near Frankel right? Because I stay just further down near the Kembangan MRT! Hey, maybe .. just maybe la .. maybe I can bring my kids down to play with yours. (My husband thinks I'm crazy for wanting to meet up with a blogger mum, but hey, I feel like I know your kids already!)
And what's funny is, I love this development because it look so retro, and I know that the units will surely be super spacious. BUT, no one is selling.
spot on.
tt time i bought it was empty for MONTHS. no one wanted to buy.

What's yours? So, I can invite you to my blog too. Not that I'm forcing you to read. But, I guess it makes this a more equitable relationship. :)
Wow, I can understand why you're so in love with your building. From those pictures of your kids in it, it surely looks like one taken in 1970s - I think I may have few photos with these kind of architecture in it. Beautiful!
