You see them everywhere in Singapore. Majority of the residents stay in the heartland like these Gov flat provided by the Housing and Development Board (HDB).
Most people living in HDB aims to “upgrade” in future to a higher status living as in private condominium or newer apartments. Others like myself do the opposite as with HDB you can get really bigger size place (mine was from 1000 -sq ft to 1500-sq ft) and more convenient and lots of amenities like near shopping malls & public transports. Also HDB flat cost a lot less.
This is the place that i moved in just recently. Very windy most of the time.

Most of company & people here organised “loh hei” event during the CNY celebration. Our work dept also follow the tradition today which is very common here in Singapore. To some different culture, tossing food (especailly fish pieces..Yee (fish) sang (raw) an appetiser, a mixed raw fish salad with a colourful arrangement) at the table might seen to be a bit strange but during CNY it have special importance. The word literally means “mix upwards” which sounds like “prosperity and progress” in Cantonese language. Others interpret as “Enjoy more and more prosperity!”

Due to the recent property boom in the country, witnessing many buildings demolished and re-erect with taller and nicer buildings in order to attract potential future tenents (especially in the central CBD). Some buildings prefered to upgrade like this new service apartment “The Ascott” building in front of Raffles Place MRT station.
