A house, A home

I got this question, "You say u want to build a home in singapore? but if u do that it means u will say have to be here for long?"

I kinda think the question was meant more of a house, if i buy a house here.. i wud kinda be bound to this small island city.. (again, like i told a friend, i dun hate this place, in fact it is a nice place.. but i just couldn't develope a liking towards it.. ) back to topic, I guess these words kinda means differently to me. A house is a physical object to me, a house is where u reside, or for our case, the place that i fully own now is only a bed and my wardrobe, others are shared.. so my 'house' here is merely a place where i store my belongings and a place i sleep.. pretty much that.. A home on the other hand, is where ur family is, it is a place that u feel warm, that u feel protected, sheltered, that u own it, a place that u want to be in when u r worn out from a day work, that u want to spend a cozy, lazy afternoon on weekends with ur love ones.. and not feel like u rather spend outside at a mall because u cant even listen to a song or watch movie without using a earpiece cause ur roomie is there.. or it is so empty and u feel lonely to stay there...

So when i say i look forward to build a home.. it actually means more of a place i share with another person whom i can see as a family member (okay, i mean bf obviously). especially at this stage of life, where my career just started, and i feel like seeing more of the world,i wont be settling down at a place and have my parents with me (anyway, i deserve to have some 2-person time too right? i am sure dad and mom has theirs too!) so having this 'home' it doesn't matter where i am, or which house i live in.. we can always make it cozy and lovely when u r with the person u want to be with right? (okay, house does matters.. like i say my current place fengshui doesn't really match me somehow.. =( .. but still the person u live with is still more important..)

So a home is what i seek.. i know i always do.. and all the more now as i feel i am more ready for it..

*********************************

U probably cud summarize this into 'he is desperate for a guy' fine.. i am.. but having a home away from home.. i am sure u will understand if u are in a foreign land too..
