I was driving around a rather nice residential area in Subang last weekend and I couldn’t help but admire the beautiful houses they had there.
Now none of the houses there were particularly huge per say… but it was a nice classy neighborhood that pretty much reminded me of Wisteria Lane on Desperate Housewives… only with bigger and more expensive houses…
and the best part is because it was in a Gated Community where only a few of the houses there actually had fences.
Now there were all sorts of houses.
I like to see houses as bachelor pads… more like.. you know, when you bring a girl home and show her your house, what they think of you. And it doesn’t matter if most homes like this belong to happily married families.
I’m not married now.. and when I think of a home.. I THINK BACHELOR PAD.
So for example, after a long night at Zouk, you bring a chick back to your home which looks like this, 
she’ll probably say
“Ahhh… a nice home for me to start a family… this guy’s a catch! He’ll never feel the warmth of another woman again.. NEVER!!! HE’S MINE!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA MINEE ALL MINE!!!!”
Or this house where she would think this is the perfect home for her man to go
“Honey I’m home….”
And for her to come up with an apron saying
“Honey.. I’ve made your favourite Fu Chuk pie tonight!”.
Or the ones that look like nice little cottages.
Then there were the ones that give the bachelor the wrong imagine.
Like if you brought a girl home to this house she’d say
“SHIT… ANOTHER MARRIED DUDE.. WHY DO I KEEP GETTING THESE?!?!”
Or this one where she’ll say
“Wait… how old did he say he was again?”
Then there were the slightly more modern ones.
Bring a chick home to this one and she’ll probably think you’re quite a cool guy… with a nice yuppy-style house.
Or the ones that were so modern, that she’ll ask
“I thought you were bringing me home? WHY THE HELL DID YOU BRING ME TO YOUR OFFICE!??!”
But of all the modern looking homes they had there… THIS ONE IS THE ONE YOU GUYS OUGHT TO CHECK OUT!
This house looks like… I don’t know… YOU TELL ME.
On some angles it looks like a space ship.
On other angles it looks like a cockpit of an aircraft carrier.
I mean.. can you imagine bringing a chick home to this kind of house after being half drunk and all.
Then you could even act modest and all…
“Hey Lisa… I live in a rather small and simple house… there… here we are.. look out your window… really simple and boring huh.. nothing special”.
And she could respond in two ways.
1) “Ooooh… I lurrvee your house.. it makes me sooo hot I wanna touch myself”.
Or if she’s drunk enough…
2) “WHAT THE FLYING PHUCK IS THAT ?!”
