Changed da house,
Changed da look.
BTW, my bathrobe's usually pink
and we don't have a fireplace.
Other than that,
it's pretty accurate...

~ Pipe Dream gone rusty ~
Saw the Mortgage Broker yesterday.
Offered him cheap-but-yummy brandless stripey chocolate biscuits.
Showed him the compound with the 4+2 bedroom house(s).
He thinks we can afford it, but we're not so sure; the bank will lend us oodles of money but truthfully, we think we missed by, like, $30,000.
Had a heart to heart yesterday about the Grand Scheme of things, and noted that we had pretty different ideals on housing. Australians, in general, put a lot of energy into their homes. They have a stronger complex about living space that us Singaporeans, having lived in pigeon holes for so long, really can't be bothered with. Tony's typically Australian need for "one master bedroom, one room per offspring, and a separate study" is quite a far cry from my "one family in one bedroom, one family in another" upbringing I've had. I guess Singaporeans tend to spend more dollars on accessories than actual real estate because he's all for the house and minimal decoration.
We'll find our way.
slept way, waaaay too late last night.
