Revolving stars

In a few months' time, we will be moving out of our BTO home. It is a bittersweet moment as we have painstakingly designed our place, putting in months of efforts. However, we (or mainly I) decided that we have outgrown this current flat, and require more space for our growing boy. (And it definitely does not help that both of us are currently working in a hybrid mode.) Our place before we shifted in: Our platform bed - You may be amazed that it fits a king sized bed We chose casement doors for the cupboards I love the spanish made wooden tiles!

We researched on wikitravel and they mentioned that we can take a bus. The bus is located at the road near Burger King! We took a long detour before we could spot the bus as it was a little hidden and there were 2 floors at the airport. View from the bus: As you can see, you need to cross the road to reach the bus.

Budget indeed! Do take note that some drivers may ask you to pay for your luggage if you have a lot of them. PL was pissed because he didn't know that and he gave the driver a dirty look. This is ...
