Today, I was awakened at 6-ish in the morning because my Mama was, I believe, stoning in the living room, preparing to head to our new house in Bedok Central. For all who don't know it yet, I'll be moving to the bright pink and cream HDB flats next month. My lovely block in Bedok South has been eyed by our 'WONDERFUL' and 'CARING' government for an en-bloc. I think they assume that middle-class citizens like us do not deserve this serene, green, convenient environment, while rich-ass condominium-owning expatriates/businessmen/tai tais do. My Mama is frustrated by home renovations, but has proudly convinced herself that our next home location is awesome. Why?
1) It is heartlander-ish with cheap shops like Giant (for grocery shopping) and Bata:
2)Hawker centres are everywhere! With good food like laksa, fish slice soup..:
3) The Bedok Community library is minutes away from our new apartment:
4) Mr Bean Soya Cafe with awesome ice cream is right beside the huge 2-storey NTUC Fairprice, right smack in the middle of Bedok Central.
5) Gym, track and swimming pool just 5 minutes away from my new home. Fantastic!
6) Buses and MRT are readily available for everyone to travel from Bedok, to all other parts of Singapore. Perfect for those who do not drive, or are bogged down by fearful parents who do not think we are capable enough to drive on our own *grumble*:
Hence, I conclude that my new home in Bedok Central will be oh-so-convenient for Aunties everywhere! I hope the close proximity of the MRT track to my house will not be deafening at nights.
