one of my friends just moved into her new house, a grand one. another friend just started the construction. 2 houses in front of my house are under renovation. a new house under construction near my housing area. i also like to browse thru houseplans in the net, and buy ID mags, dari zaman students dulu2 lagi.
rasa macam nak buat rumah jugak. sungguh. besides the house in KB, i have one under construction, at the moment. tapi, beli rumah project tak sama ngan buat sendiri. the excitement is different. masa buat rumah dulu, i was really involved in so many things... sampai rasa nak jadi contractor kejap. walaupun the house was not up to my expectation, bukannye banyak duit sangat masa tu. beli rumah project ni, you kena terima jelah... tak boleh nak buat ikut suka. nak renovate, kena tunggu dapat CF dulu. lambat.
what would my dream home be? as i came from a big family, the house need to be spacious enough for us. it doesn't have to be grand, but spacious. kalau boleh nak rumah single storey je, malas nak naik tangga bila dah tua2 esok. tapi kalau rumah setingkat, mesti tanah luas, baru boleh dapat rumah besar. tanah sekarang mahal. so rasanya kena buat rumah at least double storey juga.
i need a big living, dining, family area and kitchen. i prefer an open kitchen with family dining, in which i can overlook the family area from where i'm working in the kitchen. hehe... macamlah rajin nak masak! rasa lebih cosy, you can always communicate with family members while in the kitchen, macam dapur mat salleh gitu. but of course i will need a separate wet kitchen for the heavy cooking. the kitchen must be well equipped with the facilities and electrical gadgets to ensure that it can help me being a better cook!
the living and formal dining must have french doors and big windows overlooking the garden, with access to the patio and garden. there must also be facilities for BBQ. my family loves to eat, we like to barbecue. so, there must also be outdoor dining area with simple outdoor furnitures. this place should also be accessible to the family area and kitchen.
the family area should be cosy enough for us to spend most of our time together. it would be the "center" of the house, where most activities take place, besides the kitchen.
how many rooms do i need? will decide later. at least a room for everyone, a guest room and a few more. where should my room be? may be kat bawah. it should be something like this:
i prefer big windows, and i like to open the windows so that the outdoor feels closer to you. i like to see the greens. it must have a walk-in wardrobe, which would organize all our belongings and serves as the dressing room as well. if possible i would like a working corner, but i shouldn't be bringing work home! a cosy loveseat for us to cuddle up while watching tv is a must. my children's bedroom will be furnished up to their taste, taking consideration of their needs for growing up.
all the bathrooms must have partition for the shower and toilets. i don't like wet bathrooms, cepat kotor. it must have good natural lighting and ventilation too. how many bathrooms? depends on how many bedrooms i have, and one for the guests' use. i need a laundry room, with a big sink and platform to do the brushing of clothes, shoes etc. the washing machine would either be placed there or in the kitchen.
lain2... since i like to watch movies, may be i would have a special sound-proofed room equipped with the audiovisual system for us to enjoy movies. a study room with computers for us to work and the kids to study.
it should have a wonderfully landscaped garden. kalau boleh ada fishpond. may be a herbal, edible garden. macamlah tangan i ni pandai nak bercucuk tanam. but i really love the greens. environmentalist lah kiranye.
ID concept? dulu2 suka english theme. tapi sekarang dah tak minat lagi. i prefer something simple with clean lines. minimalist but elegant. less is more. tak de perabut berkerawang. kalau ada ukir2 pun mesti sikit2 je.
sounds ambitious? ntahlah... anak dua orang je, buat apa i fikir nak buat rumah besar2. my family members bukannya boleh selalu visit i pun. 6 orang dah settle kat KL/selangor/nilai, may be sorang lagi pun nak duk sana gak. one in kedah/perak. one in terengganu. i nak buat rumah kat mana ni? haha... may be KT kut, already got a piece of land somewhere in chendering.
beranganlah anita! khayalan menjelma.... bilakah boleh menjadi kenyataan? when my hubbyby agrees with my proposal. cukup duit ke? entahlah... may be kena jual one of the houses. tengoklah camana... kena jimat cermat sikit.
as a homely person, a nice and cosy home is a need. after all the hardwork, i think i deserve it. home sweet home.
