My Villa Verde

[ehspro 0]

Hi fellow forumers

I have always admired those "ang moh chu" since younger days . Once I asked my mother when I was ten years old, "Ma, why can't we stay in those big bungalows?". She replied "Aiya ang moh chu is for rich people...we are poor you know...most important you need to study hard ok?" I nodded as my eyes beamed across the street as the bus zoomed across the clusters of inter terraces and semi-detached bungalows. As the buildings subsequently diminished into the horizon...the dream seemingly disintegrate into merely a fantasy......haiz...

Fastforward to 2012...with skyrocketing properties and missed chances back in 2006 as I was looking at new and cheap developments then...where there is no difference between a freehold and leasehold property, "Wah lau eh...this market really siao hor!" I exclaimed as I was talking to my friend at the kopitiam..."Wait....you wait.." Remarked KH (use this for short) "So many suicides and bankruptcies in the pipeline, the property market sure crash one!! Then I go in..." That was back in Jan 2012.....I just met him yesterday for kopi again..."So many suicides and bankruptcies in the pipeline, the property market sure crash one!! Then I go in..." He preached again....

Lucky I never listened to KH....*GRIN* Here I am a dream come true, a proud owner of a 3 storey Terrace in D23 (As the title indicate) on September 16th (FIVE & HALF MONTHS AFTER EXERCISING OTP!!)...Yeah

THIS IS MY JOURNEY.........

Ehspro,

Quite a well maintained home. MOve-in condition.Just bring your luggages and furniture .

But like you've said, , embarking on a reno journey can be exciting and addictive.

Especially after you've seen the reno photos and read the T-blogs.

You can almost feel the actions....

So what the plan? Minor touch-ups or major overhaul?
