My family and many friends have asked what my place looks like and I’ve finally got some free time to upload the photos. So here they are.

In Singapore, there are four main types of housings: condominium, HDB, apartment and private houses. Of these, I think the first two housings need to be explained a bit. A condominium is a kind of apartment complex which usually consists of a swimming pool, a tennis court, gym, and BBQ garden. HDB, acronym for Housing and Development Board, is government-built housing and is often located in a very large cluster near public transport.

Varsity Park, where I live, is a condo near my company and I think its name ‘varsity’ comes from its location close to National University of Singapore. When I first visited this condo for viewing a room that was being rented out by a family of four from Sri Lanka, I took to the place right away and you can see why.

Of many good things about my place, I like that it has a lot of water space throughout the area. It does help cool down the temperature and is also good for mentality, I think. The artificial stepping stones on the left are my favourite part of the condominium.

A small hut on the right in the first photo is a reading room, most part of which is stood above the swimming pool. Next to this small studying space where I often go to use the fast wireless internet, there are function room where one can organise (religious) lectures, (children’s birthday) parties etc. – These are the occasions I’ve watched so far -, and another floating house that is not seen on the photo is gym.

This is a swimming pool where you can hardly see a crazy person swimming in rain. It is only a couple of steps away from my place. So, when you visit my place, make sure that you bring a swimsuit with ya!

P.S. – As I’m reluctant to post my address and mobile number here at my blog, if you email me, this contact information will be shown in my signature of the reply.
