Home For Life
A childhood house becomes a lifelong home for a pair of brothers
Tay Suan Chiang
THE SAYING "a family who eats together, stays together" could not be more true for the Tan brothers. The pair, who are both in their forties, have always lived together. The elder brother works in medical IT, while the younger brother is a pilot.
The brothers grew up in a semi-detached house located in the Loyang area. When they were in their late teens, the family moved into a flat, and the house was rented out.
A few years, when the elder brother got married, the family decided perhaps it was time to move back into the house, to accommodate the growing family. "We wanted to still live together, but there wasn't enough room in the flat," says the elder brother. The younger brother adds, "Dad felt it would be nice if everyone still lived under the same roof."
