Owning a corner house is our dream/preference; quite ambitious consider it’s just the two of us why the heck do we need such a spacious house. Not logic, so that’s why I’m saying it’s our DREAM.

While we aren’t rushing to own a property in the near future, we are open for house hunting/viewing until we find the one that we love and fit in the budget. It’s like the journey in finding Mr.Right.

When we saw a corner double-storey house for sale, we quickly contacted the agent. As expected, the price is double from the intermediate terrace house. Way out of our budget.

Usually the real estate agents don’t bother to suggest anything after the first phone call, but not with this agent. We ended up with two house viewing, both double storey terrace house.

First house, 18ftx65ft just great for a small family, price is quite OK, love the neighborhood. Down side, don’t like the house location and the awful taste of the interior renovation.

Second house, much larger 22ftx75ft, quite modern layout, spacious, basic/as-is without awful renovation (move in condition), gated guarded neighborhood. Loving it so much I can already imagine what color to paint, how to decorate the room, what bathroom vanity to be used, what to be planted at the backyard, etc.

So many pros, I want to marry the house already. But, Alas!, reality kicks in. As much as I love it, our wallet won’t love it. Besides, 22×75 really is too much for a small family like us.

At the end of the day I was put into dilemma. One side of me would love to just settle down in a house, decorate it nicely, raise our kids there. It happens each time I read interior design/home improvement blogs or after we have house viewing.

The other side of me will decline that. Still want to experience life at other countries/cities, but often worrying about the belongings that we have now (car and furniture – leave them, sell them?).

I often get jealous (or rather admire) with people who are able to pack their entire life into one or two luggage and roam from one place to another; be it single or with family. Something that I wanna do but don’t have the guts to. Doesn’t mean this dream will be faded though.
