Rebecca speaks and presents so well, kept me interested all the ways. Never a dull moment spent in her nice and cosy house.

[@Dokumai]

agree wholeheartedly

[@thaddddeee5355]

Doesn’t need any host and she does it so effortlessly. Lovely home and wonderful warmth.

[@AR-ek1jr]

I like how she don't sound pretentious. Like you'd think with an established career, she'd own a house sooner, but hearing her said, this is her first house and it was her dream to own one and her dream finally came true, she sounds very genuine.

[@georgetan874]

She's an actor .

[@jesstee74]

I can just listen to Ms Rebecca talks whole day. She has such a soothing voice! Her first home is cosy n gorgeous!

[@vister6757]

It's brilliant to keep the original stairs because wood from the older times are better aged and made.

[@rachelshuxin]

Wow. Her new house is so beautiful, except the master bedroom's windows. She and her husband are rich to buy a 2-storey home in Singapore. Happy for Rebecca Lim because she is such a sweetheart. Happy she finally got her fairytale ending. She deserves it! I've always liked Rebecca.

[@Funkybassuk]

Congratulations! What a lovely home, lovely couple - and wonderful news about the baby.

[@MsLilac88]

Congrats on her pregnancy. 😊 Her home looks so cosy. 💜

[@peterlim-uf8bh]

Feel happy for her for moving into such a gorgeous property... looks like those conservative freehold houses.. May God bless her family with plentiful of happiness , wealth and longevity...

[@mtay65]

if leasehold (9 years left) she won't reno so heavily.

[@peterlim-uf8bh]

Conservative houses are mostly freehold here and cost upwards of millions to start with..@@mtay65

[@vincekor3022]

Congrats! Rebecca. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. ❤🙏👍🍍🍍

[@berchrissy]

It's a lovely home! ❤ Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us. ❤ God bless you!

[@dchfoong]

What a lovely home!

[@stephenang499]

Too dark and gloomy

[@Hs5687]

Nice , Hopefully Malfunctioning PAP Government doesn’t also Try STEAL your Beautiful Home after You Pass On … Probate Fraud is PAP’s Dirty Tricks 😊 …

[@jiaying5865]

​@@stephenang499 Yes, should have gone with white 😂

[@julietj6764]

Really enjoyed the video!! Very happy for you guys!

[@jychen7259]

A beautiful and luxurious home

[@slai112]

Don't understand why the negativity. It's their hard earned money, they have the right to decide how they want to spend it. It's not even HDB to begin with. CNA probably featured it because of the uniqueness of the house and conservatory efforts put in to preserve some original conditions Let's please be gracious lah. Peace! ✌️

[@user-cr2eh5wq6x]

small and cozy! love it!

[@maplefrost1121]

Beautiful home

[@angkuan4415]

Congrats, beautiful home , beautiful you, and soon beautiful baby 🙏

[@shadertheboi]

I totally miss living in a shophouse along Syed Alwi Road, the entirety of my childhood revolves around there.

[@irenefoo8423]

Beautiful home n with gd introduction ❤

[@GiaSoul]

I love Rebecca voice . Very calming

[@jobsonchelsea6434]

[@hazel6164]

[@animeminagaming]

She’s lovely!

[@mariatachi8398]

Congrats Rebecca Lim on your pregnancy ❤

[@ericwong5891]

Mdm Rebecca,Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house and your private chamber. Truly appreciated for your humbleness and approachable image.😊

[@DonYang73]

No ee ee ah ah, well spoken, crisp. Good job! House looks like its in Katong somewhere

[@rsng64rosalind96]

Congrats for marriage, new home n baby to come. God bless.

[@jasyn249]

[@ktoh6490]

[@paecpc]

Very tastefully done up, would love to own such a beautiful house! Cheers!❤

[@georgetan874]

U need to take a look at Houses interior design in House of Cards

[@koalatheworld]

what an important piece of news!!! My life has changed after watching. Thank you CNA.

[@leeaaron7856]

A beautiful house! Mind sharing how much did you spend on the house plus renovation?

[@JohnHausser]

She has great taste 😊 Cheers from NYC 🇺🇸

[@StarrySunnie]

Oh!!! How I Love Rebecca Lim❤❤❤ She always looks gorgeous Thank you very much for featuring Rebecca Lim, CNA 🙏🏽🙇🏻‍♀️❤❤❤ The painting certainly brings Serenity to her living space😊😊

[@koalatheworld]

I love your sarcasm! Well done!

[@mawimawii692]

O my goodness she so cute ❤❤

[@Lala_lalacllll]

Love Rebecca's voice ❤ also the beautiful home

[@sufen712]

She is beautiful and classy. He's a lucky man.

[@sohheipeng9156]

beautiful interior sweet home

[@bryan_toh]

Nice house.

[@shananarocks]

5:53 min. Glad you did not paint the baby cot to match the room colour which some parents do. This is very dangerous because when the toddler start standing up, he or she will start to gnawl on the cot horizontal barriers and this could be toxic if certain paints are used that contains lead etc. Wood is still better than plastic too. Take care.

[@jaker3151]

It's a Stokke Sleepi Mini cot if anyone was wondering. It's not a cheap brand. The instructions will probably say not to paint. This size cot is good for babies up to 6 months old. After 6 months old you will need to buy the expansion kit and a new mattress etc to make the cot bigger, or buy a new bed from another brand. First time parents will often overspend on the first child.

[@KKOH007]

Wow, so rich

[@user-iz2hz2sh6g]

Classy place!

[@domanicsaus4290]

I am here to see all the negative comments 😂

[@capricorn839]

I'm here to see all the politics comments

[@tosinjoy2923]

Here for the sour grapes

[@tanchye1720]

It’s a very beautifully, well design interior house. Purely my very 1st impression. I don’t watch the TV and not familiar with who the 🥰 are. I am surprised why some people criticised and throwing their ‘inferior complex’ frustration & comments in things that are not related to this. 😳 Hmm.. ‘One type of rice, thousands types of prople’

[@simply.k3573]

Why is the washer and dryer build into the kitchen island? The house looks more masculine with most of her husband's favourites.

[@yanu3778]

Rebecca Lim such nice Person 😊

[@Khalid-sr5zp]

Used to love Rebecca. But now she's married, I just like her.

[@DuDerize]

Everything except the master bedroom looks good. The master looks like one of those The Substation old rooms where actors rehearse or audition.

[@swarovskistar88]

Cosy haven ❤

[@Luxuriousaddicted]

Wow I'm the 101 comment. Hmm may I know if those plates on the dining table are from Dior? I saw similar design on their notebook

[@aichoontan3238]

慧玲几时生产？因该是生个女宝宝，祝 慧玲，生产顺利，万事如意。🍊🍊🍎🍎❤❤😊😊

[@jaker3151]

If you have good height a narrow house like this can still be very comfortable to live in.

[@ngwei2255]

wow i always feel she wont share her home etc, cool

[@christinetan2281]

👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@gheelaw7153]

I got many vintage items for sale in Carousell.

[@godsamazinggrace5331]

Everything on earth is temporal!!

[@sebastianl6809]

Who is Rebecca Lim?

[@cac1504]

Should keep it private.

[@user-wq6lg5og8u]

有华语的吗,谢谢妳😅

[@nicklee7002]

An advertisment?

[@charliekltan7635]

So you are living luxurious, good luck & BYE..

[@dashong8912]

Only one bedroom.

[@lnwon8836]

She's rich

[@leonishappysashimi9450]

This kind of luxury life is out of reach for most Singaporeans. How much does this house including the renovation cost Rebecca?

[@rottenramone]

office needs an oberheim...

[@k.k.c8670]

Home is all about the guy.

[@rentzi3834]

Tell us about it in 2026....

[@anglo-saxonconnor817]

This home vibes is dominated by the guy's taste and likes. Hope he left a wardrobe space for the lady to be happy in.

[@koalatheworld]

Yup! You are right. I noticed it too.

[@anglo-saxonconnor817]

This is normal. As long as she can accept and be happy in her role and her choice she will be fine.

[@Humorousguy64]

Marketing la

[@emmenualledelarux2059]

PAP geng house??? hahahaha

[@Blu_coffee]

Jayzis!! Not even a decent baby's room??? This house is very, very masculine in design, cold, dull, boring shades of grey EVERYWHERE. That pathetic little framed art near the dining table looks lost in this vast dark ocean of cold interior mired with the ego of the person who literally wears the pants. Poor Rebecca... I hope you get a sweet looking baby's room in this lifetime.

[@jiaying5865]

I don't like the colour as well 😂

[@Albert_Einstein_not]

It’s so wonderful to have money

[@sgfuture7114]

Showing off your wealth doesn't make you a great person... Use your wealth to help those needy make you a greater person 😊

[@coclim5712]

How you know she dun help needy? Zzzzzzz

[@jiaying5865]

There is nothing wrong sharing it to others! Show some love pls ♥️

[@kzm9741]

Why are u showing off

[@simply.k3573]

Because she can afford to and you can't 😂

[@johnnytate69]

lol SPG

[@mindful47]

When the baby comes , I can almost guarantee the room will turn into a big mess. There's simply not enough appropriate cabinets to keep baby stuff. And for a long time the way she talks about her other half sounds like she couldn't stand many of his unique habits. Such a shame.

[@OliviaChoong]

Actually I felt the opposite, she said in his office that she likes how he has many interests. She said that she did not share the same interest in war time history, and I saw it as an objective statement, not pooh poohing his interests.

[@simply.k3573]

So much assumptions from such a short tour of her home @mindful47

[@ivan1196]

who the h is rebecca lim?

[@irenelim7631]

Very bad comment on her Who the h is ivan1196 ??

[@ivan1196]

who the heck is irene lim7631 ??

[@ninjaturtle6106]

Congrats on the baby. But have you noticed..in recent years, more n more babies are born with defects. More n more special schools are being opened. Autism seems so common these days. Do not "induce". Have it naturally. I can't say the name of the d.... they are using bcos i've mentioned it repeatedly. If you are scheduled for Cesarean, there's no reason to induce. The ubat they are using being pumped into your veins is what goes to the baby's otak. Rosak your baby if done many2 hours. That's what happened to my grandkid.

[@crystang8313]

So old house.. not scared haunted ??👻

[@georgetan874]

Not bad but not as aesthetic as Donald Trump's house .

[@kalmdwn7711]

arh not rlim again !

[@TanLikWei]

Who this random woman?

[@marcusaurelius6607]

While 99% of singaporeans live in tiny hdb apartments. Showing off wealth makes us all feel so nice

[@Ak1m2]

If only you learn from, Buddha Prince and stop torturing yourself by comparing, you would had enlightenment!

[@sgfuture7114]

Nothing to be proud of.... But if you all donated $10 Million to charity to help the needy in Singapore, I'll be proud of you 😊
