And the formula for Area is...?

Back to the point on storage space. The whole trigger for me to want to buy my own apartment is...lack of storage space. So really my apartment needs to satisfy these conditions:

1. space for yoga studio
2. space for walk-in wardrobe cum storage. Ultimate aim - boutique style open display. Showcase!
3. Large kitchen. I'm not greedy, something the size of my current kitchen will do (which is even bigger than most private apartments!)
4. large bathroom, enough for bathtub, separate shower stall, 2 basins, the bowl.
5. private room for dogs
6. bedroom (I dont' mind small, but C will definitely complain).

And as I told C, my walk in wardrobe must be well designed with 'potential for expansion'. C rolls his eyes, at this rate, he said, might as well I start off with a 3,000sq ft apartment. It ain't all gonna fit, he said.

Maybe i need to move to australia, some remote suburb in order for all this to happen, on a limited budget.

This would be ultimate. Move to Australia just because I ran out of storage space. I can see my friends' eyes rolling to the back of their heads and getting stuck there.

my uncle house in melbourne is 3-4 times my house....... and a huge backyard for the dogs to go crazy running to and fro and a creek behind w birds flying down daily..... it is really nice, and i did consider a ppty in OZ.

But back to reality, working there for three months last years, i concluded the following

1) if i work in oz, i will be tax like almst 50percent,
2) i wldn't be able to afford even a part time maid, let alone 2 maids
3) i will have to do all the things mysf.

it seems a nitemare to begin with. i still stick to my humble house for now. and try to maximise space. and yes, my eyes stuck behind now... hahhaha

WAH LAU!! you gals are TYPICAL!!... Talk about properties in Australia and you guys end up in a 30 storey penthouse, watching Korean Dramas!!sipping tea!! Ain't that what you guys do NOW!!!!..

You should say... go for a walk where there is no one else but you and the wind!
Be able to look up and see a universe of stars on a cloudless night!
Have a backyard where your dog's house has a back yard!
Wat maids???!! kids run around Nakked!! (no one around mahh)... Need toilet.... follow biz, turn 3 rounds and GO!!!...
Plant your own food, rear your own cow.. eat your own eggs from your own chooks (okok.. i admit, i would rather take a walk to a coles/ cold storage here)...Nows thats Australia MATE!!
BTW, you guys also forgot the 50 deg summers, flies the size of spiders, tiny spiders the size of flies that can kill you, snakes that can kill you...and TV programs on 1 channel that ends at 10pm (GWN- Golden West NEtwork- Country TV).. now THAT will kill you!
