Although Singapore is small,there are many places where people can stay at,each having their own disadvantages and advantages in staying at the specific place.In this essay,i am going to write about the disdavantages and the advantages in staying at potong pasir.

I will talk about the advantages.There are many advantages in staying at potong pasir,Firstly,there are many places where people can get the food,for example,there is a coffee shop located in an area where it is convenient for most residents to go.If it is close,there is another coffee shop located just beside the MRT station.Besides these two coffee shops,there are also fast food restaurants such as MacDonalds and KFC!

If the residents are sick,they can visit the near by clinic,and guess what,there is a dental clinic situated beside the clinic so it is convenient for residents who needs to visit these places to meet their needs regarding their health.

Finding a place which sells cheaps stuffs?There is a ABC departmental store,it sells daily nesscesities such as shampoo n tooth paste.

There is also a bakery beside the ABC store,residents who are celebrating special occasions such as someone's birthday can get their cakes there.This helps the residents from saving the time and money going to other places to get a cake.

Residents who prefers to eat home-cook food,can go to the wet market to get the food they want.the market there sells a variety of food. 

Troublesome to go town area?Think again,there is a MRT station near by.With the help of MRT,the trouble of residents going out is reduced to a minimal. There is a temple to meet the religious needs of some residents.

There is a community center.Elderly often go there to conduct their morning excersise.The community center also has rooms such as a dance studio,a multi purpose hall and a study room for resident to use to conduct any activites they want.

Now i will talk about the disadvantages.There aren't many disadvantages staying in potong pasir.The first disadvantage in staying in potong pasir is those residents staying near the temple will be disturbed by the loud noise such as chanting and praying.

The second disadvantages,due to the number of schools situated in potong pasir and the narrow roads,residents who need to go off for work in the morning and afternoon,will have to make special arrangements to leave the area earlier to avoid being caught in a traffice jam.

As you can see that the advantages exceeds the disadvantages,it is not a bad idea to put potong pasir into consideration as a place to stay.
