Actor Thomas Ong moves into a 38 sqm HDB flat and says it's 'the happiest thing' this year
The 57-year-old actor jokes that his bedroom, kitchen and toilet are each only a few steps away – and says he can now clean his entire home in under 30 minutes.
Actor Thomas Ong, 57, has moved into a compact 38 sqm two-room Flexi flat, stating it's his happiest thing so far this year. The Singaporean actor, who previously resided in a three-room HDB flat, confirmed his downsizing on Facebook after securing the Sale of Balance Flats unit after multiple attempts.
Ong jokes that his bedroom, kitchen, and toilet are only a few steps apart, allowing him to clean his entire home in under 30 minutes. The actor's new flat boasts a moody aesthetic with dark wood cabinetry, warm lighting, and built-in cabinetry, offering a hotel-like feel. He cleverly utilizes the limited space with a cushioned bench by the windows for extra seating, and a large TV mounted against the wood-panelled wall.
Ong, known as "Lao Wang" on social media, emphasizes the benefits of living in a small flat, particularly the ease of cleaning. Vacuuming, mopping, and tidying up can be accomplished in less than half an hour, he claims. However, Ong admits that while the flat was intended to motivate him to venture out more, he might have made it too comfortable, finding himself less inclined to go out after moving in.
