Single Orphan Buying 1St Home

[AlisaWu 4]

maybe wood and white?

or (the standard most likely will not go wrong) black and white?

if you are a little more daring, how bout lime green and white?

or blue would be nice too..

Hi Alisa,

yes my first idea was lime green and white. But when my friends heard Lime Green, they said this: 'So Melayu'. (Greens are associated with Malays because of the colour of Ketupat.)

I didn't want black and white. Hmmm.. Cause I wanted my kitchen to look bigger, brighter and more spacious. With Black, it will make my kitchen smaller.

Anyways, I will reveal the colours I picked in the next post.

Stay tune!

I did try to talk to a HDB officer abt orphan buying the house,they told me maybe I can get another orphan to rent or buy from them.Or else too bad I can only buy resale flat. I think this is quite unfair for those orphans,it not that we buy a new flat and earn money,then go back and stay with the parents. We also Singaporean but only without parents...I nearly tears that time when I ask them abt the orphan scheme.

I should have known u earlier to use this way to apply for a new flat, I believe I can see the rainbow soon..I juz bought a new place at tampines.

I immediately search for a place when I reach 35! Will be going for the 1st appointment next mth,if loan approve,can get the flat in NOV( keep my fingers cross).

U r so smart to email PM Lee for help! congratulation for a new chapter of your life.

Hi Onions2hot,

I understand how you feel. It sucks not having a stable roof over the head. Already no parents, then still have to keep moving every few years.

But heads up! You are a stronger person now with a home on the way.

So happy for you. I registered for an account under Renotalk so I can help other orphans who might be in the same dilemma as me.

Hoping to see photos of your new place soon! You must be very excited!

My contractor never take photo for me when they did the hacking of the kitchen wall.

These are photos taken 10 days after renovation.

Photo taken from kitchen.

Photo taken from living room that can see master bedroom.

Photos are taken after I moved in.

Got a good deal on the fridge. I know it's big. But I love it! <3

Stacked my dryer to my washer so I save space.

Installed the bicycle pole myself. Not very hard. Now no money buy bicycle.

Bought these 2 chaise lounge chairs from Ikea As-Is.

Now master bedroom.

When it is empty...

With mattress on floor...

No wardrobes...

Bookshelf use to put my folding clothes...

This is bedroom 2.

It is empty. Maybe I should rent it out. How much should I charge if it's unfurnished?

Hi Spikedoll,

New house of course clean. Give me a year. Maybe start to collect dust already. Lol

Bro. Nice place. May I know where did you buy your bike stand and how much is it?

Hi Bro,

I got the bike stand free of charge from my contractor. I asked him to install a stainless steel pole.

But he said it will be permanent. And I haven't decide where to put the pole.

So he said he'll get me the movable one.

The brand is Minoura. Made in Japan.

I googled it and found out it cost $115.

Not sure where he bought it though.

But very easy to install, even for a girl

Nice simple reno

Love your plc so big and spacious

No $$ buy bicycle Maybe u own a motorbike liao

Hi Casa,

It's big because it's still empty. I don't have Class 2B license. Planning to get it early next year.

So I don't have motorbike, yet.
