High floor or ground floor unit???
I have the experience of staying on the highest floor unit and the ground floor unit. And i must say that both has its own advantages and disadvantages. When i stayed in the highest unit, wat i loved most about that unit is the wind and the view of it. Def, another one thing i liked about high floor unit is, there’s no one else staying above you. So u see no one will be hanging any wet clothes above yours and no disturbance of litter at all. But at the same time, the unit can get dusty really fast. So i had to make sure that i keep the place clean and dust free. Oh and also, the most important thing is that, there’s not much of pest disturbance. Of course, once in awhile you bound to get those unwanted visitors. But its oki with me because i dun have to entertain them all the time. Now lets talk about ground floor unit. I am currently staying in a ground floor unit. I was the one who decided on this unit because staying in HDB flats nowadays has made me feel very squared and stressed up. Seeing the ground floor unit, i knew that i wanted this house immediately. No matter what happens. And yes, when we both went to view the house for the first time, we had trouble securing the deal with the bank agent. Because, firstly our house was seized by the bank from the previous owner due to some financial issues. So we were the first ppl to view the house and we told the bank agent that we want the house. But while we were getting to the documents part, another Indian family came to view the house. I knew instantly that they’re going to ask for the house too. At that very moment, i asked Pragas to get the deposit. While he went to draw the cash, the other Indian family told the agent that they wanted. The agent came to me and said that whoever bids the highest will get the house. And then, the argument with the agent and me started because I’d already told him that i wanted the house even before the other family came. Somehow, after much persuasion and Pragas coming on time with the cash, did we seal the deal. Now coming back to ground floor unit and the advantages and disadvantages. Well, i have not started my gardening yet but already I’m facing mosquito problems. And remember the unwanted visitors coming to your unit, well it happens daily in my current unit. Yucks! And i hate them to the max. I cant stand the sight of those creepy crawlers. Many times, those crawlers were in our room together with us at night and those tings crawled onto Pragas face. HEHE…. That was both disgusting and hilarious to me. We had to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to kill them. And another two visitors are the lizards and the spiders!!!! No matter how much i take to clean the corners of my house and window panels, those web builders somehow build it up again. They dun seem to run out of stock with those web!!!! And the lizards are jus getting into my nerves. They shit all over the place. And dun only have i got to pick my dog’s shit but i have to pick up the lizard’s too. But other than that, living on the ground floor makes me feel like i’m living in the kampong. And we can have our own garden. Its totally different from living in high rise unit. Well, everything comes with good and bad la.
