AN EXPAT'S HOUSE IN SINGAPORE

expatriate - (abbr. expat) a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture than that of the person's upbringing. 
~ WIKIPEDIA ~


I was feasting my eyes on the beautiful house of my friend who is now residing in Singapore. It is the kind of house you would love to have but that is not going to happen even in your wildest dream.

There must be something wrong with the house. I did not feel living in Singapore at all, except for the heat.











 








At least, there were a few plants in the garden which I also have at home, and that could be the only similarities found. One of these days, I am getting a fish pond for my house.

A SHORT VISIT TO SINGAPORE

When was the last time I visited Singapore? November 2010, and I realized about this after checking my passport. I decided to pay an old friend, an ex-coursemate of my college days, Puan Siti Khadijah who is now residing there with her family members. The last time I saw them was when they were in Germany back in June 2010.

Her house is located in somewhere in Jalan Pasir Bongek, a road name which I find a bit funny. The house was magnificent and it will be featured later in my blog. I am sure you will be impressed. After a short chat, Puan Siti Khadijah was kind enough to take me to the latest tourist attraction in Singapore so do expect a lot of entries about this amazing place later.

Before going back to JB, we went for dinner somewhere in Bukit Timah at Al-Azhar Restaurant. Finally, Mr. Stephan dropped me off at Jurong East MRT Station.

That was the end of my short visit to Singapore. It was great to see friends again and to get to see a new place as well. Thanks a lot to Puan Siti Khadijah and Mr. Stephan and the kids too for the fun time.
