This week, I headed over to the Springside area to have a look at the freehold landed houses there. A 532-house enclave developed by Kallang Development, it is located along the beginning of Sembawang Road .

In fact, it felt like quite a nice and quiet self-contained village: you have tuition centres, cafes, and restaurants right at your doorstep, so you can just stroll out for classes, a family meal or to wind down with a drink at the end of a long day. Next to The Brooks 2 is a Caltex petrol station, so you could always grab urgently needed supplies from its convenience store and you’ll never have to worry about filling up your tank.

There’s also another laundry shop here, but it has no reviews so I’m not sure if it’s any better than the one at Hong Heng Mansions.Anyway, see what I mean about how the Springside area has almost everything you need? Sure, it doesn’t have a shopping mall very close by. However, both places are over an hour’s walk , so not exactly places you can just nip into without a car if you’ve run out of something.This is what you see if you stand on the main road, in between The Brooks 1 and 2, and look into the landed estate.

Or maybe the parked cars belonged to the residents, as it wasn’t easy to find a space to park at the Springside. Not the worst estate so far but I definitely don’t want to visit during a festive period. I love the large windows of these houses, though they’re probably not great for privacy. Which may be why the curtains appear to be drawn during the day!

Australian woman gets A$2,664 fine at airport for bringing Subway sandwich from SingaporeShe was charged with the hefty fine for not declaring that the sandwich contained chicken and lettuce, which breached Australia's strict biosecurity laws. Dont think you get a fine if you disclose it. The authorities in Australia are always concerned about germs coming from organic items and they have to be disclosed. Subway did told you to ‘eat fresh’! What a stupid girl, with all the warning signs PLUS the declaration forms, there is no way subwayaustralia should be getting involved in this. And I shake my head at the stupidity of the replies. Especially as we may have a major outbreak that will affect our farms soon.
