Once we decided together as a family that we wanted to own our own home, we did a lot of homework.

We had been living in a rental flat for so long that I did not imagine the possibility of owning my very own home.

HDB, a place I spent my childhood running around with my friends playing block catching.

The second I stepped out of the HDB lift, I knew which house belongs to the family I was going to interview.
