My brother and I moved every few years, sometimes because the lease ended, sometimes because we found a place that fits our budget better. We met many good landlords, but it just wasn&#8217;t our own home if you get what I mean,&#8221; said Kean Yew, who was born in Penang.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fast forward to today, I&#8217;m 29 with a family of my own, and a place that we can call home.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lohkeanyew\/p\/DZT6YtGE6pE\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lohkeanyew\/p\/DZT6YtGE6pE\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Being able to plan and design the home together with his wife to make it their own space made the milestone special, Kean Yew added.<\/p>\n<p>He shared several photos of his new home in Punggol, which featured neutral colours such as white, grey and dark brown, as well as marble details and warm built-in lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Interior design company Starry Homestead described the apartment&#8217;s design as &#8220;light French&#8221; style.<\/p>\n<p>Many netizens commented on Kean Yew&#8217;s post, congratulating him on the personal achievement, while some shared their own experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Congratulations! I was brought up in rented accommodations throughout my childhood and my ambition was exactly the same. The house we bought is far from luxury, but it is ours. I can do whatever I want with it. And that matters a lot,&#8221; one wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another said: &#8220;I hope I can achieve my goal too. Been living in Singapore for 20 years and it&#8217;s really not easy without our own house.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kean Yew and his wife registered their marriage in 2023, and welcomed their first child in July 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Just last month, the badminton star came in second place at the KFF Singapore Badminton Open, winning a US$34,000 (S$43,700) prize.<\/p>\n<p>[[nid:737059]]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>carol.ong@asiaone.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/lifestyle\/loh-kean-yew-new-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore shuttler Loh Kean Yew has achieved a &#8220;huge goal&#8221;, but it&#8217;s not on the badminton court this time.\u00a0 In an Instagram post on Monday&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59395,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/59395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
