Fish Tales

I finally found a place to live in Singapore! Way up on the 24th floor at a new development called Park Infinia. It’s in the Novena area, close to the MRT, shopping and other important things when you don’t have a car. The amenities were one of the biggest selling points. Two tennis courts. A gigantic pool. Another pool. A gym. And a bunch of other things.

I’m really happy about the actual apartment. Getting used to living in 893sf will be difficult, but the open space-efficient design certainly will help. The master bedroom is good sized for Singapore, and the attached bath is reasonable too. The living room is quite large and spacious. The kitchen was another differentiating factor… all new, stainless-steel appliances. And there’s also a stacked W/D off the kitchen.

Overall, I’m really happy with the result of what seems like an endless ‘house hunting’ search. Still trying to swallow the over 2.5X increase in rent/mortgage for a place over 2.5X smaller. Ouch!

View of the tennis courts, and the fish pond. (not the actual view from the apartment)

Swimming pool in the distance. Fish pond in the foreground.

Kiddie pool… big pool to the right.

Great gym… hopefully will be able to work off the muffin-top.

What a fabulous view! And, I think it looks even better at night. Also, if you look to the right (southeast), you can actually see a bit of the ocean too.

Bedroom. Small.

Kitchen. Fridge and microwave still need to be moved in.

Guest bathroom.

Master bathroom. I’ll be using the other one. No baths for me.
