Happened to have the digital camera with me last evening... and it was still pretty 'early' - reached home before sunset... Hey, the golden rays shed on the more-than-10-year-old flat had given it a nostalgia look! The flats, minus the 'interferences' around look good, despite they are public housing. I was not the kind who like orange and red... found these colours a bit difficult to 'swallow'... but have slowly grow to like it, when it's blended with nature... ok, I think having stared at the orange table cloth and pencil case brought back from Bhutan has helped... also having been surrounded by men mostly wearing orange coloured ghos 'helped'!
Public housing in Singapore has gone a long way. Still remember studying moral education in primary school, when we learnt the first satellite town in Singapore is Toa Payoh... Wah! and after having to travel through Queensway area to MOE every morning, learnt that Queensway / Redhill area is one our earliest housing estates, too... Can't imagine, one block of flats lived so many families... Hm... similar to lots of pigeonholes there?
Compare and constrast, there're differences... There're improvements... There're lots more variety... oh yes, it'll come one day, we won't even be able to differentiate condos and flats!
