  Then walk from your house to Sengkang NEL Stn, take NEL to Boon Keng, change to 21 by walking from Boon Keng NEL Stn to Boon Keng Road. Alight at Sims Ave(Aljunied Stn). Walk in to GEast Library.

  You know what? If so rush of time then from Sengkang you take NEL to Serangoon take 100/135/155 down can already. Faster than MRT taking down to Outram Park then change EW line for Aljunied.

  NEL to Dhoby Ghaut, then transfer to NSL and alight at City Hall, then EWL to Aljunied. Take 80 from there.

  You can walk up. Alight at the bus stop before Tanjong Katong Rd if you want to walk.

  You can also alight at Tanjong Katong Rd and change to any service except 10, 31 and 32. Alight at the 2nd bus stop.

  You can also transfer 30 between Old Airport Rd and Dunman Rd. Alight at the 2nd stop after Dunman Rd.

  31 from Toa Payoh to Tg Katong would take around 30min on average. Changing to 30 at Dunman Rd or cross road at Tg Katong rd would incur u another 5-10min. Not counting walking in as well.

  If you are going on a Sunday or PH, take 26 or 31 to Kallang MRT change 853 and alight after you see Sheng Siong (former CHC) / Lion City Hotel. This stop would be the stop to alight if you take 135 from Merpati Rd as mentioned earlier by another forumite.

  I can propose a few more ways though both would take around the same time.

  1. Find your way to Jln Toa Payoh take 966 to Parkway Parade, change to 43/76/135 to Tg Katong Rd (Ch of Lady Queen of Peace). If you change to 197 you will alight directly behind City Plaza where Pebble Lane is.
  2. Take 59 from opposite the swimming pool to Jln Eunos first stop after PIE, cross bridge change 21/51 to City Plaza. Cut thru City Plaza and you are there.
  3. Find your way to Jln Toa Payoh take 966 to Eunos MRT change 21/51 to City Plaza. Cut thru City Plaza and you are there.

  966 from Jln Toa Payoh - Parkway takes 25min, Jln Toa Payoh - Eunos takes 15min
  59 Toa Payoh Lor 6 - Jln Eunos takes 10min
  21/51 from Jln Eunos - Geylang Rd City Plaza takes 10min.
  43/76/135/197 Parkway - Tg Katong takes 10min.

  you slowly count :)
