... of Jade Spring Yishun. It lies along Yishun Avenue 11 and Yishun Ring Road. Though it is quite a distance from the Yishun Central, but there are 2 feeder services available so it should not be too bad. And i have been living at the edge of Yishun for the past 20 odd years so taking feeder service is a no sweat for me. Let's get oriented: the lush greenery to the west is Yishun Park. North-East lies the neighbourhood central. To the south is Northbrook Secondary School.

It all started...

... when I saw HDB latest BTO project (Jade Spring) in the newspaper. Yishun is the ideal place for me as I have been living here for the past 22 years and counting. I immediately checked for the exact location and found it to nest right in between our parents' place. I called up dear to inform her and were really excited about it. With the application deadline looming, we felt that the decision made was too hasty as it involves a huge amount of investment. Thus the idea was then cast aside. But after much discussion and consideration, we applied 2 days before the deadline on D-Day, 14 Jan 2008.
