Ely1 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 ely , i donch have all those leh, i am super unglam kind or couldnt you tell that day with me chasing my boy all over like a yellow-faced housewife! You're hardly a yellow-faced housewife! Any online gamer demands more respect from me than that - think of yourself as a modern-day soccer mom like on Desperate Housewives You should see me chasing after Maxey all day!Love the look you're going for - that apartment is gorgeous and yet so cozy and warm. It would be like perpetually living in a villa in Bali. Unfortunately, my home has segregated themes so it doesn't blend all that well - balcony is more resort, living and kitchen is modern, bedroom is vintage/glam-chic (complete with 1965 General Electric rotary phone~). You're an object of envy because of that 23ft wardrobe. D.a.m.n.- Ely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are we still going on about the **** wardrobe which is only an IDEA and not reality? I am pretty sure someone else before us has something bigger than mine loh Yes we are, because we can only dream of 23ft wardrobes. I have no more space for shoes - am sure The Husband is secretly gleeful about this. Even had to stack my shoes to fit the wardrobe~I totally agree about the REAL online gurl gamers - have seen some scary ones - you're definitely not one of them. Also, I'm not "incredibly hawt" (that category belongs to Monica Belluci, Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie) - really more an average Singaporean gurl who's really good at disguising her geeky side. Ha! No false modesty here - am simply stating a fact. Have seen gorgeous Singaporean girls gracing our clubs and streets and felt so inadequate. Love your online buys - have eyed them myself but realised there is simply too much clutter already. Sigh. <3Ely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So its not possible to have a WIW that will eat into the place of the windows. Like what Marshy says, the lay out might not be suitable for such a big big WIW. What i have is the biggest my MBR can accomodate even after hacking 2 rooms into 1. really?? hahaahha.... thanks thanks... i will be looking forward to your housewarming gift! hahaha....
