It hasn’t really sunk in yet but my parents have sold their house. In one month’s time, they are moving back into my their house, and will sleep in the guest room. A spare bed room will be constructed using the space in the court yard for my brother. And construction will begin early next year on the extension to the house, actually a mini 2-bedroom self-contained flat linked to the main house, and it will take up to 6 months.
It’s gonna be mad. The whole “complex” will eventually have 8 bedrooms (!!!), 3 bathrooms, 3 toilets, 3 living rooms, and 2 kitchens. Assuming that the sole non-family tenant does not move out, there will be 7 people plus one dog in the house. Oh, and 5 cars. OMFG. It’s beginning to feel like a sitcom.
And to think that I once had 2 girls in my bedroom and did not score. I can now kiss those opportunities good bye even if I’m lucky enough to have it happen again, and I’m not so stupid as to not do anything about it.
Unless I move out. Again.
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

My personal opinion: you should get yourself a new bachelor pad! The one in the pic looks pretty cool although it’d be tough to find one that looks like that! You don’t wanna be 32 and living with your parents for too long. Past about 25 and it does looks pretty sad if you still live with your folks. I know this is generation stay-at-home and ppl stay at home way longer but beyond a certain age it gets kinda weird.
If I meet a guy in his late twenties or thirties living with the parents and it’s not real temporary I think: what is wrong with him?! -

**I once declared that I wanted to go out with a girl by yelling at her.**
Read your past entry about having 2 girls in your bedroom and yet didn’t score. I had a good laugh until I come to this (point at the quote) declaring to her by yelling at her. Say that I’m insane, but I think that’s romantic. *blink* Wouldn’t mind a man doing that for me.
Sorry to hear abt your pad, can’t identify what you’re going thru but understand what you meant. I’ve been staying out for coming to 4 years… Tell me about it.

Explicist: it’s only romantic if the feelings are mutual.
but thanks for the kind words. -

Thus it is now time to try and score before you have to revert to being the angelic son when your parents are back in the house. lol.

“complex” sound so commercial.
I still live in a bloody 4-room HDB with my family. Hey, I think the “bachelor pad” idealogy is very hard to be accomplished by normal Singapore *Mighty sigh*

OMG, TVB serials in the making! I can just imagine that…it would be so much fun!
Until I was 12, I grew up in a ‘complex’ of 9 rooms, three bathrooms and three kitchens. It was literally a complex; a semi detached house with another semi detached house extension. That particular house is actually still in the family today - no one wants to buy such a huge house nowadays! I think it’s quite fun and definately an eye opening lesson on how to get along with other people - you don’t see all family grouped together under one roof nowadays. Your parents are quite cool, so I think it’s ok.
I never thought I would miss my parents until I moved out. Somehow dinnertime is just not the same without the whole family around the table.Seriously, I would kinda like to be in your position - extremely near yet not under the same roof.
Saying that, I never ever want to live under the outlaws’ roof.heh.
