Dear The Real Singapore,
I am a NUS student and i want to tell all your readers that not everyone that stays at Sentosa Cove are rich. I drive a poor Toyota car instead of a fancy sports car.
Whenever I tell people I stay at Sentosa Cove, there are gasps all around. Truth is, the people who live here aren't all rich.
Sure, you see more than your fair share of Ferraris and Lamborghinis; and the lavish parties during the weekends. But most of the houses here aren't that much more expensive than some of the others in Singapore.
Sure, you can see private yachts and have millionaires as your neighbours, but I do not think they are incredibly wealthy (maybe just showy).
In any case, my parents only bought the property here because it is a short commute to the CBD. They work long hours and do not have the luxury to enjoy the scenery and rest at home much.
Frankly, I do not think location is such a big deal. It takes me up to half an hour just to drive to NUS. And in case you think I am some rich man's son, I'm sorry but I drive a humble Toyota Mark X.
So please don't judge people by where they stay, but by their personality and character.
Thank you very much!
