When I first set my eyes on the T3 unit, i was captivated and I knew this was the right place for me to purchase. The layout was great- requiring little wetworks renovation to be done; the lifestyle concept it offered was brilliant- shared gardens and open spaces to breed interaction between neighbours… something of a rarity in these modern times; the fact that Desa Parkcity was still in its infancy and I could see the potential in this whole area.

My wife and I moved in on 11 Nov 2008, the day after our wedding. Prior to that, it was a crazy hectic period where we had to plan and coordinate the wedding as well as the design, renovation and furnishing of the our new house. I have to admit that I had a lot of fun doing both, but more so the latter. And I would like to assist all of the other young home owners out there by providing design ideas, places to shop for good deals, and find economical ways to decorate the place without cheapening the interior.

We really like living in this lifestyle-concept-community. The shared open spaces really do create better opportunities for interaction between neighbours. Our neighbours have been really nice to us and occasionally come over to give us cakes and other yummy snacks that they’ve cooked up. These days, you hardly can get a neighbourhood with such neighbourly inhabitants. For kids, it’s a great place to let them roam and play without having to worry about traffic or other external dangers. The guards make sure that children do not go outside of the community unsupervised by an adult.

We’re really enjoying the entire experience of living here in Nadia, living on our own, gradually furnishing our place to turn the house into a home. We are far from finished with the furnishing… it’s a process that never ends for true home lovers and I intend to chronicle our progress on this blog too. More pictures of the interior of our home to come.
