The Villa @ Al Bateen

I'll be moving in to this villa tomorrow with a couple of my colleagues. Located in the upmarket residential Al Bateen area, we're surrounded by other luxurious villas. So how's the layout ... well, it has 3 storeys to begin with ... Ground, 1st and 2nd floor. On the ground floor lies the driver's room, a maid / cook's room and a tiny room (which I will be occupying on my own). Unlike the rooms upstairs, mine is fitted with just a split unit air conditioning and has white fluorescent lightings. I chose the smallest room in the house so I no need to share it with anyone else. :p All the other rooms have central air conditioning and warm yellow lights. Cis!!! The rest of the ground level is occupied by the garage, a huge kitchen and a communal bathroom.

Two separate staircases lead to the first level. Up there is where our living room and office is going to be (see photo above). There will also be two huge bedrooms available there each with its own attached bathrooms.

The 2nd floor houses four huge bedrooms ... again all with ensuite bathrooms also.

The flat roof is accessible and I guess we would be spending some time there during the winter season.

Bought the beds and all its fittings from Ikea and as you can see, we have to help with all the ku-li job. :) Good exercise though ... so not gonna complain.

Oh the date tree (in the photo above) opposite our house bears dates similar to those sold in the supermarket. It's edible. :)

Will post up more photos once the place is better furnished. We're getting the bare essentials for now and will eventually add in the rest over time. There's also plan to install a billiard table there. Muahahahaha. Pai seh pai seh.
