Since her career as a business owner has just taken off, Kylie doesn’t have the financial stability to buy a private property in Singapore. Purchased her apartment in JB last year As she’s also single, Kylie is unable to meet the requirements under the eligibility criteria to apply for public housing in Singapore. Wanting her own space away from her parents, she decided to take a chance and buy her own home in JB.

Kylie knew investing in the rest estate market in JB was risky, so she made it a point to get a feel of the neighbourhood before she made her decision. “I also have friends who rent a house here, so before buying a house I stayed with them for a few days,” she told 8world in Mandarin. Travels to Singapore frequently Kylie shared with 8world that her home in JB is not far from her parents’ home in Singapore, where she stays when she’s back in town. Although the drive to her parents’ place takes about 40 minutes to an hour, Kylie doesn’t find the journey troublesome.

She told 8world that when she lived with her parents, many decisions were made for her. Now, Kylie has learnt to live life by her rules, and discovered the meaning of the term “less is more”. “Because I travel frequently between Singapore and Malaysia, my room in JB has very little things,” she shared. “I also want to make my life simpler, with the little things I have, I don’t have to think too much.” She also claims that having her own space calms her down when she is alone. “It can be quite lonely on this entrepreneurial journey, so if I have this place and opportunity where I can better sort out my emotions and thoughts. It is actually a big plus for me.” Has assimilated into her life in JB After living in JB for roughly five months, Kylie told 8world that she doesn’t feel lonely as she has many friends there with whom she meets for dinner and a catch-up. Her like-minded friends also help her spread the word about her business.

Source: 8world News She plans to expand her business to Malaysia and says buying her home in JB was “fate”. “Looking back at my life, I realised that I do overthink sometimes, and I missed a lot of opportunities,” she shared. “So this time, buying this house, also symbolises my change.” 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
