18 Mar 2017 GDO Hoots

Aloe something. I have been trying to get my hands on one since forever… but it’s always so expensive . Like $20-25 for one. Finally saw one at SO or SC’s booth. I think SC. Got this for $15, smaller one but it is the only one that’s a good deal. It’s so coming home with me.

The rest are from SS . Can’t rem the name - not really on my list but then it’s small so it won’t take much space. I could give it a go.

Keikos - the first pot I got has thinned out to 2 small flower leaves . Pathetic … I must have rotted the roots. I should really take it out and examine it. So lazy…

Kalanchoe something- alittle curious about other types of Kalanchoe than the mother of thousands or millions which is starting to irritate me when the plantlets everywhere….

Monodenium rubella - got 2 small pots as backup for my first pot which is more exp as that has more woody stem .

Part 2 next…

Why Will Interlace Be The Best Investment Opportunity?

The Avenir ShowflatThe Interlace is one of the most memorable and iconic development in Singapore. Anyone who drives past it on the Ayer Rajah Expressway will definitely notice this stunning and spectacular landmark. Being such a high key development in Singapore, it definitely is the best investment choice you can have when it comes to real estate. Here is why many consider Interlace as the best investment opportunity:

1) Iconic Landmark

No one can fail to notice this amazing landmark. The Interlace is envisaged to be the next landmark of Singapore with its non-typical stacks of blocks layered on top of each other in a hexagonal arrangement. One has to see it to believe it.

2) Land Size

With the scarcity of land in Singapore, most condominiums especially the new ones, have very pathetic land size with hundreds of units. In those developments, you can expect to have very little space between the blocks and zero privacy. However, Interlace has a generous size of approximately 8 hectares which is very rare for a Singapore development! If you love space and privacy, Interlace is definitely the place for you.

3) Nature

If you love nature, you can take heart that Interlace is a development right smack on the Southern Ridges. You will be surrounded by lush greenery and landscape from the long corridor of nature reserves, parks and historical gardens. Be spoilt for choice when you want to take a stroll or jog amongst nature at Mount Faber Hill Park, Kent Ridge Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, HortPark and Labrador Park. From the comfort of your own home, you can also admire the beautiful panoramic views of greenery and even the sea.click to read more The Avenir Showflat

4) Excellent Location

The Interlace is located in District 4 of Singapore and is just minutes drive away from Singapore's Central Business District, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Orchard Road Shopping Belt, Vivocity and both Integrated Resorts. Its excellent location makes it very accessible for traveling to places that matter by car and even by public transport. It is an estimated eight to ten minutes walk to Labrador Park Station on the Circle Line which connects you easily to the existing East West Line, North South Line and North East Line. In future, it will also connect you to the Bukit Timah Line and Downtown Extension Line.
