living room...simple and cosy...
family area.

staircase leading to the 2nd floor
from our open terrace - my family likes to sit here on weekends or during public holidays to chit chat while having tea . At times, we sleep at the open terrace under the cool night accompanied by the twinkling stars looking at the starry starry night.... occasionally we see plane /helicopter flying by.....really sejuk at night.
here is where we spent most of our family time together - 'our home sweet home'. Each of us has our own favourite corner. My grandma for instance loves to tend to her DIY small garden where she plants 'daun kari', 'daun limau' , 'daun misai kucing' and others. My grandma eats the 'daun misai kucing' which according to her is very bitter but good for blood circulation.. he he he. Auntie Sonic occasionally plucks 'daun kari' or 'daun limau' for cooking. Our house is located a stone throw away from NUS where our parents used to spend their youthful years studying there. Our home is a 2 level maisonette unit in a lowrise condo. It is reasonably big for our family to rest and relax. Our housing area is surrounded by old landed housing with ours being one of the few tall buildings not more than 5 storeys high. But lately, the landlords have built low rise budget hotels which somewhat marred the quaintness of the area.
