老鹰

看着在天空中盘旋的老鹰
使我对自由,有种莫名的渴望
我也希望我可以飞翔
离开所有的人我是非,
所有的你死我活

This is Where I Live Now

Wow. It has been a shocking one month since the last post. Have been too lazy busy I guess, driving to Penang a few times, playing badminton, making kuih, doing CNY decorations, and other small and tiny things that happened at home.

Well, I am officially a PhD student right now! :) Studying in NTU (hope I won’t change my mind anytime soon :P). Things have been going smoothly so far, minus the fact that it’s hard to make new friends anymore. Umm, I have to travel at least 45 minutes to get to school everyday, and the reason is just because I’m taking advantage of free accommodation, provided by my cousin brother. :D He has been sent to Singapore by his US company as an expat for half a year, and they pay for his accommodation. And his apartment has two rooms, so you know la. Hahaha. It’s located at the centre of Central Singapore, just so you know the rental. Heheh. OK, pictures of where I live. :)

So this is the building from the outside. I think it has a total of 75 floors.

The name is The Sail @ Marina Tower, address is 2 Marina Boulevard.

This is the lobby once you enter the building’s front doors.

These are the buttons available for you to press in the elevator.

This is the night view from the apartment building. You can see the Esplanade, the Merlion, the Fullterton Hotel etc landmarks from here. Too bad the picture is too small.

The three buildings make up the upcoming The Sands Casino and Hotel.

This is the living room. The apartment comes furnished.

This is my cousin’s master bedroom.

This is my room. They even provided the sheets, which coincidentally matches with my laptop! Note the sliding doors, my room doesn’t have a real door. =.=||

This is the kitchen. The refrigerator is inside the cupboard, which I think is a very “unwise” (I shouldn’t use too uneducated words, just in case I get kicked out from the apartment) design. You have to open two doors to get to your food. And the clothes rack is really destroying the effect of the picture. I should’ve taken it away.

This is the dining table.

And this is a bad picture of the bathroom. It doesn’t show anything, I know.

Oh ya, I didn't take pictures of a really cool gym they have, spa, yoga room, FOUR swimming pools and two tennis courts. OK, the place is air-conditioned, so it actually doesn’t feel like I’m in some tropical hot + humid country. And the apartment is filled with Ang Moh’s, really. OK, so you’ve seen my living quarters, what do you think? Just so you know, it costs a whopping SGD4,700 per month.
