a dedication to Pearl!!

hey pearl! thanks so much for your past comments! hehe.. love the fact that you are so pro active and you leave comments all around!
to let you have a clearer picture of the apartment ken bought, i've attached some lovely illustrations for you!
S$4.75 million = US$3.10 million = HK$26.48 million = TWD$108.08 million

it is STILL pricey. normal condo apartments cost like S$900,000 to S$1.5 million. Public housing here costs like $105,000 for a two bedroom apartment to $750,000 for a four bedroom one in a neighbourhood that's close to the City. so the $4.75 million is actually quite pricey.

Name of Development: Tan Chin Tuan Mansion (its really a condo and it look super chic. don't bother about the extremely old school name! hahaha)
map of location! click on it to enlarge! condo be marked with an 'A'!!
From the map, you can see how near it is to Orchard Road. You can literally smell the Pradas and Louis Vuittons from the window! haha!
The pictures, while in development. its already up and running actually. these are old pictures.
I likethe fact that its facade is actually the REAL Tan Chin Tuan Mansion. They preserved it and built the condominium on top of the preserved facade. The lobby's gorgeousness!
This aint our home. its a picture i 'stole' from Knight Frank. The layout of the apartment is exactly as it is. Only the furnitures and fixtures are different.
The uber chic facade up close!
The building from afar! So you can see, the location is quite comendable. the surrounding environment is really nice. very lush and green. the only problem is.... from the picture above, you can make out a road that runs right in front of the condominium. that's an EXPRESSWAY! so the noise is kinda annoying... there's this constant drone of passing cars and sometimes their fumes will get into the apartment.
house warming party? yeaps we're throwing one! but it'll be a very intimate and personal thing. i'm inviting like three close friends and he's inviting 5 buddies . just casual chat with some champagne, hors deourves and maybe some sandwiches! wish you were in singapore! i'd invite you as well, pearl! you seem like a really fun person to hang out with!

anyway, hearts hearts and take care!
Lotsa Love,
Kai + Kenan
