downgrading .. but save more ..

last week end i moved to master room in an hdb.

before this i stay in a common room in a landed property without owner. but since i share bathroom with other tenants, more and more i could not tolerate the messy they made.

when a chance came for me to change places then i tried to find a master room so i would not deal with other people. then i found a place 3 bus stop away from the previous place. its a master room in a main street, near hawkers or food court (including the sheng siong supermarket), and near a big public park, Bishan Park. the rental price also cheaper. i can save $150/month.

the place is clean, well maintaned and not too old. the other place i saw, they only have lift access to some floor. the environment itself is nice and neat.

in the new place the owner -a singaporean mid lady called as Helen- lives several blocks away, but her mother and her son are staying with us. so for daily life i will deal with the grandma and a grandson, but about things to do with the rental, i deal with Helen.

the grandma seems nice and friendly but she does not speak english. she speaks malay but for me its kind of hard to understand. her grandson speak english. also the other tenants (a malay couple) speak english so i can ask them to communicate with the grandma.
