My friend's apartment

I am liking the characterful Tiong Baru area. The place I am staying is in one of Singapore's oldest HDB (public housing) blocks. Built in the 60's (I am told, though we were debating this!), it has many original features, including high, slatted windows and the flecked, green marble flooring which I also remember from brief time spent in Malaysia as a child. 

The building is now listed, and it makes a nice change from many of Singapore's ultra-modern expat condos. There is even some art being created in here right now, but more about that later!
