Amazingly gift-from-the gods cheap apartments in Singapore !

A friend's American boy friend is finally coming to Singapore to work. they had been planing for this for ages. First to find a job here, that's not that difficult for him. But what's difficult is getting the 'expatriate package'. No company is offering him that. So...

For the past few days we have been helping her, look for a place to 'house' him.  HDB is out of the question - he'll not survive in the housing estates she claimed. Budget is $2000 for a whole apt for the 2 of them- & it has to be in town. WOW.... if you have been on Earth lately, you'll know she's being delusional. She needs to chip in, & maybe have her head check as well!

Then we saw an ad that says:
1200sq ft in Orchard
$2000 a month.

That got her extremely excited. The whole thing looks suspicious, plus it's lacking much details. $2000 a month in Orchard for a 1200 sq ft apartment ??? It's so amazingly gift-from-the gods cheap that it aroused suspicion. I couldn't imagine what could be wrong with this place, but it had to be something. Maybe there are no walls, maybe it's infested with pests & rats, maybe someone was murdered there. She quickly called & the agent took forever to answer. When she finally did, she just casually said that $2000- is the price for A ROOM in that apartment !!!

For myself, I would love something like this ....lol...
