Description:
Located above a fire station in Carlton in Melbourne is my new hovel, with a good view of the city on my "balcony" and custom designed furniture placement this is my new home for the next few years in Melbourne. Only a short 5 - 10 minutes walk from my uni and 5 - 15 minutes walk to the city this room is one of the best. The price is reasonable and even has a cleaner that clean the common areas weekly, the bad thing is you needed to share it with other people but my room mates are one of the few best around thus no complains on that.

Compared to the room in Bukit Batok this is heaven, cool at night and day no direct sunlight and quiet because it is isolated from other rooms. The best thing about this room is its "balcony" which is not standard but a ledge outside my window where I will sometimes climbed out to look at the city and at the stars. Here you can see alot of stars (compared to Singapore) even when the city's lights are shinning below you.

Living above the fire station is not as bad as it seems, every time they left with their sirens I will say a silent prayers for them and the people they are going to save. Their sirens does not really affect me much, more like a short break during my gaming, studying or reading. I also jokingly said to my friends if there is any problem here we will have paramedics and fireman in our rooms within 5 - 10 minutes.

All in all a nice hole to stay in for the rest of my uni life.
