Haiz.. the cost of living in spore is sooo high!! We, the middle income earners, can barely afford to maintain an EA loh. We cant afford the cash payout for resale either..and the new 4 and 5 rooms in JW selling like hotcakes.. only left EA for us to choose love the pool table!how i wish i had thought of it before committing to my dining table your doggie also very cute, maybe he should be standing at the door to welcome guest instead the pool table really take up quite a fair bit of space.. so need to ensure there is always sufficient walking space and playing space.. my doggie will stand at the door and greet the guests with his bark and growl.. no one would want to see him at my main gate.. hahaha.. the welcome dog is 'tamer'. hahahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
