3- storey dream

hooey just came back from a short tour inside a 3 1/2 storey house, just behind my old, rugged abode.

This 3 1/2 storey has just revealed its look to the public, having removed those blue huge construction canvass so we are talking about an empty shell with no furnishing in as yet. The contractor saw us lingering outside its premises and invited us in! yippiE!!!!Talk about Premier viewing eh....

it was Huge, Artistically conceptualized... and echos bounced to and fro like little molecules.

It's the first time hooey experienced something like this, stepping into another white-washed, clean world where everything is up to one's imaginations. As i step into the house, what greeted me was this sunk in- zen-like pool that spans across the living room with a platform for one to cross over. One can only picture fish, pebbles, floating petals, candles and greenery just crossing that.

Then the RoomS!! and the number of Toilets they have built! Those big Winows!!!!darn, i lost count and my sister was even voicing out loud as to who stays in which room.. and given the size of my family, i am surprised there were SURPLUS when it comes to the number of bedrooms! jacuzzi-like bathtubs, walls that made of nothing but windows. AN ATTIC bedroom!!! which my sister eyed! and a holding area for roof garden bbq at the top, which views span across to the nearby SRJC. one can only picture inviting friends, or family alike sipping a nice cup of tea after a long day of work, sitting on deck chairs and taking a step back, looking into the skies above. *long sigh..............*

We *my parents and me and me sister* haha, were so enthralled in our own thoughts, conjuring up images ... some silently, some aloud... when the contractor told my dad that this unit has been purchased! All 4 of us were aghast at the thought. First, it's not as tho we had the money, but we were really keen in the unit. and Secondly, it's horrified to know someone actually bought this when we were still in the stage of daydreaming, standing in the very place we pictured those dreams. @##$$.

Well, we found out that an enginner and his architect brother bought over this land from its previous owner, demolished, built and came up with this unit's concept. Lovely, unique concept by the way. And my mum started wondering how come of 4 kids, none turned out to be an architect. Bleah, not as if this electrical engineer daughter of hers could do much anyway.

HAHA, i'm just happy now, cos i've seen a dream home. (not those show room made ready flats, with arty farty furnishing which could WOWed me anytime, BUT which hardly shows ones individuality in the interior design) . This Is like a clean fresh sleet, (of cos i love the exterior appearance with windows, wooden frames, rounded roof) a pure white canvass, an unique structure, waiting for one's furnishing and imagination to fill up the spaces. Shucks that it's been bought.... boohoo ( maybe i can really good neighbours with whoever's moving in)

Anyone a debbie travis wannabe?

Hmm... now, where was that brochure i saw about this 3-storey dream home at Yio Chu Kang?
