~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10 reasons why i do not like mm !!..
1) too cramped, too suffocating to me, i cannot breath
2) high psf of >1000psf, distorting the property market and indices, and feeding developers fat fat only.
3) cheapskate and cutting corners unit: open concept kitchen, no yard, cannot fit in another small writing desk
4) east/west facing units will have direct sunlight to every corner of mm (except toilet, ofcoz)
5) condo estate usually has less facilities, no security guard
6) wasting precious land; this one crapland's boss said one
7) no bottom/support for price under adverse condition, might free fall haha... (2/3bdr condo will have price support from 4/5 rm hdb)
8) encouraging singlehood, or couples to be childless; to me, mm is only good for one night stand...
9) there are better ways to part my $$: shop/office/industrial space, blue chip shares or Reits
10) you people keep doing that mickeymouse-talk and making this forum very sianz....
i only said i do not like mm hor, never ask you not to buy... so don;t flame me !!...
:rolleyes: ;) ...
I agree with your point 2.

No flame, own opinion.
"The ikan bilis is small but all its organs are present."
Liked point 9, holding to some.
Enuff balance to buy 2 MM even with 60% ltv at work, but Bo keen.
Simply I don't get it, only devil plate get it cos he know my returns of my stalls and shphse. Yawnzzzzz
totally agree with point no 10...:cool:

I for one think MM is a new lifestyle choice for the following:
Small family with baby and one kid
Husband working salary at least 8k pm
Stay home mum cook only dinner
Rent out hdb so family income more than 10k
No maid no car
Want to eat decent breakfast n lunch within walking distance or max 15m mrt ride so living next to or on top of mrt is ideal
Near office
Near parent
Near museum, arts center, events
Near cafes, organic food suppliers
Need to say more?

Need to say more?Like you rightly pointed out. Families which are larger than 3 members simply cannot put up in a MM... unthinkable. Also, not good for cooking even if its just for dinner. The smoke fumes simply overwhelms the entire unit unless cooking is strictly restricted to microwave and steaming... :sleep:
been living in a 980sqft 4rm hdb for my 30 yr of life..
i cannot tahan < 500sqft shoebox

Ya, I have a few friends who are not married. Most of them are already in their 50s and I know of a couple who is a retired lawyer and retired senior lecturers, they have no children and are staying in a 3 rooms HDB flat.

10 reasons why I like MM : -
1) Space is consider good and optimize for me, not too small and not too luxurious, I don't need big space ....
2) Price is affordable.....I don mind how much developer earn fat fat ........as long as I can get what I want.........
3) Easy to tidy, I don need to spend too much time to tidy it up......save cleaning time and don need any maid........
4) For MM, is as good as 4 or 5 star hotel room, since I have no problem stay at 5 star hotel for almost a year when on business trip, I don see any problem with MM
5) MM unit have pool, gym, and gated and guarded, I feel more relax and secure
6) Maintenance Cost is low - Since maintenance fees are based on the total square feet ......low electricity, low aircond, low low low....
7) Allow me to live with less of everything - simplicity & economy- I don like to own too much thing, other than basic necessity///
8) I can try out different design easily whenever I feel like to do it......
9) I have valid reason to reject any guests who try to tumpang sleep for a nights of 2 or 3
10) I can enjoy privacy while still stay close to family..........
Again, this is my personal view, MM lovers, let us :cheers4:

Affordability is still the main reason, the rest is just to support your main reason.
Unless you tell me you will choose to buy a MM instead of a 2 bedder, with everything else remain the same, including the price. Just an extreme example.
At least thats my case. I have been staying in 4/5 rooms HDB all these while, but frankly speaking, i hardly venture into my parents and sister's room. Its always my room, living and kitchen. So basically, its just the 500sqft i really need.
..............frankly speaking, i hardly venture into my parents and sister's room. Its always my room, living and kitchen. So basically, its just the 500sqft i really need.
I cannot think of any good reason why you should go to your sister's room often if you are of the opposite gender, unless for some nefarious purposes.

Of cos not when shes not around, but we do have some heart to heart talk once in a while... Im not sure why your thinking is so screwed. Then again, thats y i mentioned i hardly go into their rooms. So what if you are staying in a 1000sqft hse when you bascially cover only half of it? Its just a mindset thing.

Like all your points from 1-10!
From point 2: Why pay for space you don't need? People from the new generations need much less space from people of yesteryears. Save the $ for lavish furnishings. Install 3 Plasma TVs on the wall to display sky view / sea view / green view if you just want to look at pretty space. Or plaster the wall with pretty wallpapers you can change with the season.
Govt win, developer win, we as buyers win. Even tenants looking for privacy and not so pricey apartments win.
Saving the money allows you to go for restaurant food every day if you so choose; allows you to save electricity from aircon to use on washer-dryer - no more bother about how and where to hang clothes.
Affordability is still the main reason, the rest is just to support your main reason.
Unless you tell me you will choose to buy a MM instead of a 2 bedder, with everything else remain the same, including the price. Just an extreme example.
At least thats my case. I have been staying in 4/5 rooms HDB all these while, but frankly speaking, i hardly venture into my parents and sister's room. Its always my room, living and kitchen. So basically, its just the 500sqft i really need.
Your case reminds me of my time when I was still single staying with my parents in a 2 bedroom rented HDB flat. My brother, sister-in-law and their 2 daughters occupies the one and only bedroom. My father made use of part of the living hall to build another "so-called" bedroom for my mother and I. This "bedroom" can only put one single double-decker bed and a small cupboard. The "bedroom" was so small that when we entered the room, we could go straight to our bed without wasting our "leg energy", haha.:D Funny is, I had been living there for >20 yrs and never complain that the place was small, maybe the space was just nice for me, I only need a chair to sit and watched TV, a bed to sleep, a table for my meals and school homework (when I was still schooling), a toilet to do my daily "routine", kitchen was not so important to me at that time because my parents did all the cooking.:D

Is okay. My father laid a mattress on the floor at the living hall and slept there. It was the same HDB flat that he left us, without any words left behind.

Anyway, pple buy MMs for various reasons:

2) Lower quantum
3) Store branded goods, cannot declare to husbands
4) Store mistresses, cannot declare to wives

There's a reason why most of the brochures call it a 'lifestyle' choice isn't it?

He was a great father. He felt that it was not nice and good for female to sleep at the hall where anybody who passed by can see us, "不雅观". That was the reason why he built another "bedroom". At that time, I was still a young lady, ~~姑娘十八一朵花啊一朵花~~.:p

U can go to FEO SOHO showflats. Amazing how they turn high ceiling MMs into many usable spaces. The Seawind (think closed oredi) was a good example. Promenade@Pelikat showflat oso MM.
Those who want a little more than a hotel room will love MMs.

Buy MM for SM! Cool!

I highly recommend the mop with rotating spinner to wring out the water that I bought from OG Orchard (top floor). Very easy to use and can adjust the wetness of the mop to your desired level. You can buy multiple mop heads for using in different areas (eg bedroom/bathroom/windows can change to different heads). Only need one pail and one handle. The mop heads are made of microfiber material and dry out easily. Big thumbs up for this product. Maybe you can get cheaper models elsewhere but not sure if the quality of the mop head will be the same.

Agreed! The FEO SOHOs are damn nice! I don't mind living in one of those actually. But they are not MMs right.. all around 600 sqft onward.

Chiaberry, thanks, i will go explore this weekend. Ever bought a magic mop home but the maid refused to use it ... she prefers going round the house using a rug/rag, saying its cleaner :banghead:

Aiya, why not, pail is still smaller than human. If not, then leave the pail in the toilet, soak the mop first, then "GO".:cool:

It's this one:

I am not sure how "maid-proof" it is or if it can last if used heavily. However, for a MM with small floor area, it should be quite convenient to use.
I prefer not to have the ones with the foot pedal as they take up more space/are heavier. The one I bought has no need for a foot pedal.
It is good for parquet/wooden floor as you can dry out the mop to the desired level so as not to leave streaks/water marks on the floor.

They should design it to allow spinning even when cleaning ... Then really no need to move your arms much... Just shove it to wherever or whoever needs mopping.
Can buy the robot (small circular one that moves by itself) to clean and mop the floor. It can't reach into corners but it can clean the rest of the house.
