Saleswoman
90 sq m four-room HDB flat in Strathmore Avenue
Lives with her husband Lam Ann, 52, a storekeeper, daughter Pagen, 20, a polytechnic student, and Bobby, a Yorkshire terrier
I love my home because...
It gives a very homely and cosy feeling whenever we step into the apartment from school or work.
It is also located on a high floor and the apartment is windy all year long.
My decor theme is...
Modern living with open concept.
We used the colours red, black and white to bring out the best of the surroundings, thus making the apartment classy.
My favourite corner is...
The living room-cum-dining area.
Our dining area is specially built, with clear mirrors. We tend to watch television from the dining area while enjoying our meals as a family.
I'm most proud of...
The entire feel of our apartment.
Will I sell it? That is a hard decision for us to make. To us, this place is the perfect home.
