I am impressed!👍 The tap like spring water. The toilet ceiling light like sky light. The mirror to reflect view from captured externally. 

 

 

But wash hands in bedroom, no cloth to dry.

I spied aircon fan coil "hidden" behind a wooden grille-like decor that is gonna make it difficult to do regular servicing.

Different stroke for different folks. 

I dislike having a basin next to my bed. It will over time become an eyesore with splashed water here there and breeding ground for smell. Hate to be breathing  in that when sleeping. 

Place quite dark, need lights on in whichever area of house they are at. Or perhaps, they turned on lights just for video. 

😅😂😂😂Yada-ing. 

Stay safe 

Cheers

Young people like dark dark deco one.... 

Interesting, except the big mirror facing the bed, can scare oneself in the middle of the night.

How the tide has turned, even at high rental price with weird rules = 

 

Room taken up within a day 

Contrary to netizens' opinions, Arun tells AsiaOne that the Toa Payoh room was snapped up within a day of advertising. 

"I even had offers above the asking price, the location is awesome," he said, adding that 18 groups of potential tenants came by to view the unit, which is owned by a couple in their thirties. 

 

 Only goes to show how 'POWER' the current rental market really is. 😉

He is hoping that studying at a university in the Asian financial hub will lead to permanent residency, and while the 26-year-old hits the books, his wife is out looking for a $5 million to $7 million penthouse.".....
