Criterial for our new apartment

Ok, thankfully, we have managed to sell away our house within a month. Maybe you might ask, why "thankfully"?

Well, our apartment is listed as a 5 room, but in actual fact, we are 1 room less. This is because, during our renovation, we decided that under the standard configuration, the existing Master Bed Room (MBR) is too "tiny" for our liking. Hence, we combined 2 rooms into one huge MBR, with regards to Singapore's HDB flat of course.

Now that our apartment had been sold, it's going to be a race to quickly find our new home before we really ended up homeless.

Our criterial for our new apartment, well, is pretty straight forward.

• It has to be closed to our parents's place, as they are all getting old. This would makes it easier to reach them when required.
• It must be closed to the Bus Interchange (main bus terminal) so we can cut down on extra cost if we can avoid taking any feeder services.
• It must be closed to the Shopping Mall, so if we went for any mid night movie events, we wouldn't end up paying an arm or a leg for the cab services.
• It has to be nearby a Primary school so that our kiddo don't have to spend too much time transiting to and fro home and school.
• My number one priority, it must have a balcony with a not too bad view.
• Direct lift access so that we don't need to haul up our bicycles or end up paying extras during the BIG MOVE.

Ok, maybe it not that straight forward but well, this might be our last move so selection can't be too sloppy right? Furthermore, apartments in Singapore are too costly for any sloppy decision making.
