A run in wealthy residential estates

Today I had a jog around my neighborhood and I decided not to jog too far as I just wanted to relax my mind. I ran at about 9pm, pretty late for an exercise but I love night jogs.

I planned my route, and decided to take Cheap Levitra Professional Online Without Prescription a turn into a road leading to some terraces and bungalow houses. They are all in a rowed-style along a one-way road. Then I begin to admire the architecture, the exterior design and the beauty of these houses. I could only build my dream house in computer games like “The Sims”, but not anywhere near there in the real world.

Living in Singapore, the way the residential houses here are similar to apartments in the States for example. But we call them flats or “Pigeon holes” by others. We have many 10-12 storeys buildings erecting all around Singapore. This is quite a common sight. Compared to Hong Kong, Singapore is much much more spacious as in the distance between these “blocks of flats”.

All of them had BMWs and Mercedes, and some other Luxury cars. Some of the lands and houses are quite big (and tall), enough to be transformed into a shopping centre. I really envy and admire these rich folks. Some day I would want to live like them, buy a plot of land and build a house on it. A simple 2 storey building will be terrific! The prices of these landed property cost a bomb, ranging least 2-10 millions in USD. Thats quite a lot of money … to me.

Although I live just one street away from these “wealthy” resdential areas, it feels so different to be living in these houses. The comfort, the status, the priviledge and only the rich can afford to stay in there. Singapore is lack of lands and so it is really quite different from what we see in other countries.

Back to my daily routine…
