I Visited Singapore's Most Beautiful HDB (Public Housing)

[@lilaclaicc]

To those who watches Mediacorp Channel 8 25 years ago will know that this estate is being used as the backdrop and filming for one of the most iconic sitcom show 敢敢做个开心人

[@nigelchung86]

Me too this is the 1st thing that comes to my mind too. Still looks good after so many years

[@GuyWithTheCapitalJ]

The main theme song playing in my head right now... 🤣 Bababa made in Singapore

[@ongpamela18]

@@lilaclaicc ooh yah, no wonder it looks so familiar!!!

[@Thefabulousredfish]

Not forgetting the gangster scene from "I Not Stupid"

[@chronotee]

Reminds me of 文勇大哥

[@KanojoRinko]

Fun fact! My mom says these 4 blocks were originally planned to be built in Simei, in reference to the Four Great Beauties in Chinese history. Simei literally means 4 beauties after all. However, the blocks ended up in Tampines instead. In the past, the government would build HDB flats before letting people ballot for them. The BBQ is very underused though, I have never seen them used before. The basketball courts were definitely used a lot in my childhood. In the past, the playground used to have swings and sand pits too. I remember going there a lot as a kid. The estate is relatively well connected because the bus stop is right before the expressway. I always walk through the estate to the buses since my estate is not as connected.

[@Getsubros]

thanks for featuring my neighborhood ghib. these blocks together with block 498 is in the concept of Design and Build Scheme. they are unique in their home design

[@alui5362]

ghib! especially loved this episode because of the warmth of meeting with your viewers. hope to see more!

[@evan.snaps.]

Thanks for visiting and showcasing our humble home Ghib, was glad to show you around! Hope you enjoy the gift and message we wrote for you. - Evan

[@imranbecks]

0:07 Where I'm staying for the past 26 years and my bedroom view everyday overlooking the basketball court and the backdrop 😊 1:23 And I can see my home windows from this camera angle 😅 The funny thing is those of us staying here probably don't even appreciate the surrounding and design maybe because we see it everyday 😂

[@angdolly1688]

I was here for the first time yesterday night and felt like I had entered another world. The architecture is so different and beautiful. The lightings here are ambient and subtle.

[@Chxrrypie]

The Chinese and Japanese gardens in Singapore is completed! I suggest you to go there and take a look!

[@cycopathic_shutterbugz]

Thank you for this amazing video ! I am always looking for nice looking buildings in Singapore and this will be my next stop to VISIT !

[@eatdriveplay]

This was the ‘poster’ estate of HDB back in the late 90s, as the most modern looking architecture to showcase quality HDB flats.

[@meiyentan1103]

This HDB flat is the first design and build in Singapore. It was designed by a Japanese Company.

[@aniraz90s]

I was like, "How come so familiar this place? Look like Tampines." Lol.. It's my childhood place where I used to hang out at the playground when I was 9 years old. It brought back so much memories especially the time I play with my best friend who I have lost contact with since. 😢 It was back in 1998 where I explored this area as a kid. My parents stay abit further so me and my friend walk all the way here. So much memories 🥺

[@serawong]

check out Bukit Purmei with a small little hill in the estate, with 4-5 public bbq pit, a soccer court, basketball court, exercise corner... quite lovely too

[@zordflea]

My old neighbourhood! So many good memories. Thanks for this video Ghib.

[@AnnieNg-d6p]

Singapore HDB new home very expensive now. I stay Margaret Drive Sky Resident for 2 years 4 rooms 91 sq ft now can sell $I.5 M. Wow this guy house is so big n Beautiful

[@queenqalifa]

Wow this brought back good memories. I grew up here for 22 years! The basketball court we used to play soccer there. Will sometimes hit a neighbours window. Then police come catch but we ranaway. haha. 🤭 Coincidentally I was here yesterday visiting my mom who still lives here. If I knew you were coming I'd invite you for lunch. Nonetheless thanks ghib for this video! ❤

[@octovanfoo968]

Singapore local movie I not stupid 2 iconic song was filmed there also. Singapore iconic sitcom drama 敢敢做个开心人 Don't Worry Be Happy used this place as the background also.

[@MrGlennong]

I used to live here!! Amazing estate and huge interior 😍 I got so so mad when my parents moved us out to another estate 😭

[@GrannyPanny111]

It's an iconic place for films too. And also, among Singaporeans, we know, one of the many choices to take wedding photos and videos. hahaahah

[@sujaniaslam2428]

Hi Ghib, wow what a beautiful HDB there, n the inside was very big, wow you can beat the boys with arm wressling,, i feel like they let you win Ghib hahhahaha,, or maybe you are stronger 😀,; Thks for the vlog Ghib,, 楽しいかった😅。。👍😇

[@timothywoo7994]

You don't get those HDBs now...those are in the early 90s...

[@Dantheman8222]

Don't worry be happy ❤

[@SK-ps2ps]

My old estate!! We stayed in a 5 room executive, corner unit - miss the spaciousness that my previous Bishan flat afforded 😢

[@ycfavourites]

Singapore is growing and modernizing every year, with new upgrades, as compared to Japan and Taiwan that have stagnant for the past 40 years. My brother showed me a photo, taken 40 years ago at a subway station in Tokyo that looked exactly the same. At least they are better than London that stagnant for century.🤣🤣

[@tangbridgette7172]

I love Goodview Gardens estate near Bukit Gombak MRT station. They are just standing next to Bukit Gombak Park, the air is very fresh in the morning as the whole estate is next to the hill link to xiao guilin.

[@Lucifyx]

Uwohhhhh Tampines mentioned

[@fadzilfadzil6001]

Beautiful condo

[@chocolatesnowyz]

Lol, I live across from this nice HDB. I always though this HDB is way too nice to a normal HDB, but I remember a few of my secondary school friends lives there.

[@markshen3280]

Hey, Ghib OJISAN. Good morning to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰. You uploaded your videos so early in the morning, or rather late last night 😆😆😆😆😆😆👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@minnononoadventurechua2971]

He should take u to Tampines mart … spoil for choices in food 🍱, 5 minutes walk if u take short cut 😘🥰😍😇

[@masterweaver]

Grow plants in your own house.. that is the right way for plant lovers

[@foodmore]

Unfortunately these flats are beside one of the worst roads in SG with horrible traffic jams every morning and evening.

[@ZF3046]

I stay very closer to this block . We have Big court , exercise equipment and good place for walk .

[@ongpamela18]

It reminds me of The Pinnacles condominium at Tanjong Pagar!!!

[@simplyme3306]

There are some BBQ pits around a few HDB estates. Mine (at Bedok Reservoir) have them too. Although I never see anyone use them and how to book them LOL!

[@chenyinmei6466]

Hhib..really like this video..thank you

[@___Danny___]

some danchi look like our hdb as well , not just the block , the surrounding around the block as well.

[@kevinchia5493]

You can check out Punggol Grove, the only hdb with access gate. It's one of the uniquely hdb in sg.

[@norman6499]

Dude, stop talking about punggol already. The last time he proclaim punggol waterway as best place to live in, it draw many sourgrape and attacking comments….when everyone know its the best, its best to keep quiet or else it will be seen as arrogant

[@kevinchia5493]

Wooo.. why ppl so bad. We just sharing gd and unique stuff

[@wretchedworm]

fun fact: this is the same hdb estate filmed in Under One Roof

[@tssnmm]

No. That was Bishan.

[@wretchedworm]

@@tssnmm oh you're right, but i definitely remember it was featured in one of the mediacorp sitcoms. can't remember which one. Maybe something in ch 8.

[@GMD3N]

[@tssnmm]

@wretchedworm I'm not Chinese but I know it's from ch8 sitcom, Don't worry, be happy. (I'm a 90s kid so I rmbr it like it was ystdy lol)

[@Capitaliskid]

East side best side

[@KokhuiYeo]

It looks like Buckingham Palace 😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍

[@weiyongl]

great to see singaporeans so prosperous with million dollar homes. :)

[@jaytso1883]

The disadvantage of it being close to the airport ... if try to catch a taxi home from the airport, the taxi driver uncle will be face black black 😄

[@imranbecks]

@@jaytso1883 There's something called Grab. So far I've had no issues. Plus there's also a bus that loops to and from the airport that stops there. Bus 34. I've been to Jewel so many times I'm bored of the place already...hahaha..

[@jaytso1883]

@imranbecks Yes, Grab is great. I always use it when visiting Singapore.

[@HulkVahkiin]

My friends like to play Basketball there lol

[@ashmarsim]

My brother used to live there.

[@User-C151Cmrt]

I miss Prime Minster singapore Lee kuan yeaw, he died on 2015 when I was 1 yrs old

[@chenyinmei6466]

Ghib..you so funny..at the void deck

[@ivanseah8321]

Like your videos very much ❤❤❤

[@Fuwa_san]

I'm actually in Singapore sightseeing right now. It's kinda depressing on how there are no single family residential houses anywhere in the cities. Everywhere have large apartment buildings.

[@johnchen6310]

The Power Of Jippun Lang LOL

[@AmericaChavez17]

2:04 reminding me about an old lady back when I used to live in Bukit Panjang that sits around the void deck all day long staring at people who come and go

[@eio1971]

Very Nice

[@redderzfr]

i not stupid too was filmed here too

[@douglasang3527]

Old Estate ! Coming to 40 years ! 😅

[@pllcat9669]

That is down the road from my house

[@youyesy0]

Ghib San where's the Pool San NO POOL

[@unown293]

i really wanna know if you can go up to that arch lol

[@sugiharto1721]

Hello ghib

[@norfalishaayra8491]

i live there

[@petertan6982]

That is why it is called void deck......void of people.

[@sassww]

Can afford is another thing. Not everyone can debt free when they reach age 55 for HDB loan.

[@JawedKarim763]

How much rent do they pay?

[@tcmelvinlee4804]

Sadly, HDB used to build nice flats with very affordable price!

[@imranbecks]

Facts. The current BTO's are all very dull and boring. Straight up uninteresting. Definitely nothing like this anymore.

[@darrylk808]

On my 1st visit to Singapore, I didn't pronounce Tampines the way the Singaporeans do. 😁

[@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains]

been here. everything is great, it's just very inassessible.

[@advaiththeking]

where is this?

[@justatypicalsingaporean]

Tampines

[@queenlip6152]

That style looks old to me.

[@miyazakihiroshi2548]

確かに外観はいかにもやけど中は意外と普通やん。

[@Nothingmore1313]

BBQ pit not usually used bcos there isn’t any water for washing! A white elephant! Useless.

[@Nothingmore1313]

And the basketball court invites annoying ppl who played even when the lights are off. It just invites annoying ppl to disturb everyone sleeps.

[@imranbecks]

​@@Nothingmore1313I live here. And my bedroom is facing the basketball court. No problems with noise.

[@gotmyonu1027]

Looks like prison

[@raymondloke]

Best ?? You're kidding right ?

[@DoubleMcspicyy]

Omg i live here !

So nice and interesting video 😌👍🌷💙🤍
