A housewarming that's gone cold
HCl and I went over to Jun's place last Thursday.
Though her housewarming should have been held last year, it was only until I brought up the topic last week - because I was about to leave for Paris soon and I wanted to catch up with friends before leaving - that she said last Thursday should be ok for a visit.
Huimin was initially joining us, but she fell ill just before the day we met up. Perhaps it was a deliberate plan to let us 2 guys entertain Jun. After all, Jun's mother always return home late on Thursday nights.
One point I have to bring up is that although my workplace is the furthest from Sengkang, I actually arrived at Compasspoint earlier than the other 2. This simply proves the saying, "whoever is nearer, will arrive later". Such is the culture of Singapore.
The first impression HCl and I had on Jun's house was that it's rather spacious. Mostly because the living room and dining room were combined into one room, with no partition or barriers in between. To me, it's just a big living room and no dining room.
Most of the furniture were arranged close to the walls, leaving a big open space in the centre. What caught our eyes first were the number of media players , all of them arranged neatly in their slots on a shelf. I forgot to count how many there were, so awed was I by their number.
The next thing to catch our eyes was the 30+ inches - according to the owner, personally I think it's 40+ - flat screen TV. Usually, TVs are blocked by huge speakers that flank them, something like what you see in those electronic home appliance stores. I'm not saying her speakers are small, but her screen is too wide to be blocked by any speaker you can find on the market. No kidding.
Now that we're done with a tour of the living room, let's proceed onto the bedroom. Jun has a rule for all guests when it comes to her bedroom, but I'll leave her to state it herself. I think most of the furniture in her bedroom are custom-made, so everything looks very much in place and gives a overall neat feeling.
I wished I had remembered to bring my camera along.
There wasn't much of a tour to the rest of her house. That night, we ordered pizza for dinner, watched "Twister" on one of her numerous LD player, enjoyed the booming audio effects from her nicely positioned surround speaker as well as the fantastic video, exchanged cold jokes and finished up most of the snacks (that has been kept for quite some time) in her house.
HCl and I concluded that Jun's house make a nice, peaceful and quiet getaway for people who don't want to do anything but sit down and watch a good show. Just throw in some popcorns and everything will be perfect.
