Although I have to say, as impressed as I am with such a design, I believe that it would only be suitable for singles, at most a couple. You would have to childproof the heck out of the apartment if you have young children too :P

Efficient Living in Tiny Spaces
I was completely blown away when I stumbled upon this video on YouTube. Talk about an incredible design and utilisation of space. With more highrise accomodation coming up in Asia, I reckon it wouldn't be long before people begin to transform their tiny apartment into efficient living like this.

About Having A Housemate
Things I Won't Miss
Having complete freedom to the washing machine (don't have to wake up extra early in the morning to do the laundry, just to find that the housemate has beaten you to it), telly, couch, refridgerator ... the whole house, really.
Being able to walk around in my birthday suit in the living room. Not that I do that. Often.
Being able to leave the bedroom door open and free to do whatever I want without be subjected to any nosy glances.
Being able to cook anything I want, fry anything smelly without the housemate opening the door and windows loudly in disgust.
Being able to do it anywhere in the house, without having to keep completely silent. Yes, even the laundry room. *wink wink*
Things I Will Miss
Nothing
That about sums it up, doesn't it?

We Bit The Bullet
Our prayers are answered. After two years of searching, we finally found a place we liked and bit the bullet. We were at Coles doing our usual grocery shopping when the real estate agent called Tim and told us that the vendor has accepted our offer. I literally danced at the checkout counter :P
For now, I'm going to enjoy the weight of the 2-year burden lifted off my shoulders, before the reality of a 30-year mortgage falls on us.
We're going to be homeowners!

We Remember
Today we remember how it all began. We remember what He's done for us. We remember the sacrifice He made so that we may be saved. We remember that on the third day, He resurrected.
Amidst all the chocolates (which I had none of, by the way) fluffy bunnies and hot cross buns, we remember Him. We remember His love.
Happy Easter.
