Our journey to Tanglin Halt started one evening in 2006 when I “chin chai” asked my girlfriend whether want to spend $10 and apply for the flat (yes, typical of most Singaporean man but that was not my proposal, I did proposed to her when we got our flat ). Come to think of it, that evening also happened to be the last day for the balloting application, and lo and behold, we were not only successful with our application but also got quite a good queue number .

This neighbourhood is not new to me. I spent my childhood days growing up here (at Tanglin Halt 16th storey), studied at New Town Primary School and mixed around with “the gangsters”, who btw were pretty notorious and plenty during those days. So, moving back here again was kind of nostalgic. Just the other day, I brought my wife-to-be to the 16th storey neighbourhood, showed her where I used to hang out.

We have completed our reno and moved in since Jan this year. Some pictures to share of our humble abode.

Nice and cosy reno! Hoped that mine will go smoothly, so I can move in real soon! !!

I like the Open kitchen concept. Looks cosy & small for 2 people. Not alot of space to clean. keke. That's an open dishrack shelve up there?

Yeah, but pangtan pple, afraid not for suitable them as their bazi might crash with open concept kitchen.

Tks, we don't cook often thats why decided to go ahead with the open concept as the original layout makes the whole house feel very small. Come to think of it, have not cook at all since moving in, except instant noodles.

Got it from Cottage Craft at Samford House. PM you the price.

That study table, you got from where? what's the cost?

Must say that this victorian dressing table complete with the mirror is really compact & whimsical.
