Many of our friends here are contemplating to buy properties this year.  It must be the government’s grant that entices them to make that big decision.  I’m sure they are all excited to eventually design their own homes, to make sure that every detail of the rooms down to fixtures (e.g. copper kitchen sinks) will be of their choosing.  When the right time comes for us to buy our own home, the design part will be the best and most exciting part for me, too.
