Woodlands Housing Estate, Singapore

These are some of the many HDB flats where majority of Singaporeans stay in. Most of us own our own flats. They can range from one room, two rooms, three rooms, four rooms, five rooms and executive apartments. The rest stay in private housing, condominiums and landed properties.

The best thing about HDB flats are that they are located closed to schools, supermarkets, clinics, food centres, recreational facilities, MRT stations and bus interchanges.

Took this photo from the Woodlands MRT station, I like the view of the estate and especially those Palm Trees.

Pasar Malam

This is a typical Pasar Malam. Pasar means market and malam means night in malay.

In the olden times, vendors would sell their wares during the night by the roadside. But nowadays, everything is very organized, so we have this pasar malam under a huge tent, where all the different vendors would sell their goods during the day and night but the crowd would normally comes during the night where the weather is cooler. The different vendors sell all different kinds of stuff from food to clothes and household items and you can actually bargain with some of the stalls over the prices of items.

The pasar malam is not permanent and only for a period of days and then they moved to another heartland of Singapore and start all over again.

Christmas Tree at Causeway Point Shopping Mall

It is the time of the year again for christmas celebration and shopping. I really love end of the year where most malls and streets will be decorated with christmas trees and fairy lights. And not forgetting the shopping too.
