Things about Singapore that amazed me

When I first arrived in Singapore, I can never stopped from being 'ooh.. aahhh' over their vast development. Anyway, next building visited was this just-completed cluster homes called Mont Timah located at Hindede Drive, Singapore. Why it is called cluster? There are 4 units in one cluster. Each unit consists of 5-storey, 2 basement carparks ,a private lift and roof terrace. 3 or 4 units came with private pool/jacuzzi.

I heard the price of each unit was S$6mil. or something around that.

 Then we are off to visit this SOTA building (School or Arts, Singapore).The Kirk Terrace city-campus building was built by WOHA Architects, Singapore.

Later we visited another art school called LaSalle College of Arts (boy. they do have a lot of art school here don't they?)This building was design by RSP Architects. I like the idea of green space at the center of the building where students and people could just sit around, read books, talking and kids playing. It's open for public use too.

Feel excited about architecture now? Wait till you see my next entry. Tomorrow! Got lot of work to do. Stay tunedd!!!

Masya Allah cantiknyaa! Makes me fall in love with architecture again (dulu pernah cita-cita nak jadi arhitect. hihi).

My bf pun dok cakap Singapore sangat civilised. Semua teratoq. Dan bersih. Cuma kesian tengok Melayu kat sana..Huhu.
