GCB = Good Class Bungalows. New acronym I learnt while C was driving through the dark lanes of Chancery area on our way home. I've seen bungalows near the Caldecott Hill place, and they are huge. Chancery Road area....wow. It's almost criminal to own a plot of land and house (bungalow) that big in Singapore. GCB is not just any bungalow, it's THE bungalow, complete with sprawling gardens, long driveways and swimming pools. Bedrooms the size of my HDB flat. The houses are big, but on a huge plot of land, it looks like a tiny house in a big green field. They look like expensive, exclusive resorts. Very classy. I even saw one that has 5 luxurious cars in it's driveway. Man, they are so rich they can maybe even buy an island.
So here's the criminal part - some people have 5 luxury cars, some of the lesser ones have 1 continental car, and here I am, I don't even own a bicycle. That's a really sad state of things. Huge sigh. Ok ok so maybe I have 5 Tod's bags (err...actually only 4 I think). Man, they have so many zeroes in their bank account I can't ever imagine how I could make this much money except marry or murder for it. Cows for sale anyone?

GCBs are regulated in singaporem, so that no one can buy the land and sub divide into lotsa tiny terrace ouses or flats etc. hence, their minimum sizes are 1400msq or about 15000 sq feet of land... most are lots bigger as you need at elast 30,000 sq feet before you can sub divide.. thats a lot of grass for a cow to moo on... I ad a client who was about 60 yrs old a lady and wanted us to install a squash court, tennis court, swimming pool, spa, sauna, massage room and a BOWLING alley.. just to name a few!.. imagine a lady of that age bowling?!! of course that was the 80's and it was a matter of one upping your tai tai friends! mY id has just completed a bungalow where each room was 1500 sqft (a decent 4 bed condo size) and it has its own Hair saloon!! all for 4 occupants!
sigh.. the grass IS greener on the other side!I fyou think you are sad, BIZ has to SHARE his crate with HOLLY!! and even gets kicked out of his bed!!
Mooo...
