Good Morning Bloggers~! Time flies so fast and we are already on the 10th day of Ramadhan.
Alhamdullilah, it has been a smooth journey for me. Even the weather is a blesssings. I remembered just a week before Ramadhan, the weather was hot, humid & dry till my skin starts to react with the weather. I had to go to the doctor to get some medicated cream to ease my agitated skin. But amazingly, in the month of Ramadhan, the weather is such a blessings. Cool weather and infact almost everyday it's raining.
Syukur Alhamdulilah!
Like always, I have not been updating this blog. Ha ha! There's few things which I will update today.
1st - Our 2nd Appointment with HDB.
Yup, we have been called for our 2nd appointment with HDB on 29th June. It was the first day of Ramadhan and it is on Sunday. We were glad that it falls on a weekend so we don't have to waste our leave. ( We need to save a lot of leave for the end of the year u know~:P) The appointment was such a breeze. The appointment was at 2.15pm but we came at 1.45 and immediately was called in. Apparently, the person who was having appointment at 130 have not showed up yet. So we were indeed lucky! Settled this and we shall now just wait for 2017 to come. It is expected to be ready by Q1 2017, but as per norm they will advise that it will normally be read 1 year ahead. I hope they do a good job to the BTO Flat. So much news of defects already. Now is the time to work extra hard to earn the CPF $$. Mahal betul flat nih. By the time the flat is ready..our $$ in the CPF pun kena wiped out t 0! Hur hur!
2nd - Dulang Hantaran
Managed to get some more stuffs of mine and him. So this month, the target is to send our baju to the tailor.
Need to find a date and shall inform my SIL to take me to her tailor house. We also got a draft design of our customised wedding band from Gems by Gems. Such a beautiful piece, can't wait to see the real thing.
3rd -Office Matters
Eversince taking up the new account and concurrently servicing a big project for the company. My work have been neverending. I normally practice completing my work task by end of the day but now 8hours of work is still insufficient to complete it. I even had to bring it home to work on it. I know this is not healthy. I miss my work life balance. Im hoping this phase will end soon & I shall be back on track
4th - Weight Matters
Honestly speaking, I have not been exercising religiously. I did a little but not to the maximum.
What else in the fasting month? Badan mcm letih je hahaha!
Need to push myself after fasting...but oh the temptation of lauk pauk raya...aiyahh!! :(
Last 21st March was our appointment with HDB and I'm glad to say that we have booked our flat. The location was conveniently located at least for the future. We will have a primary school right in front of our house which is probably less than 5 mins walk. A shopping Centre within 10 mins walk. A Health & Medical Centre nearby. (We are hoping that it will be a polyclinic :P)Fortunately, it was not a case of balanced flat as our queue number exceeding the flats availability.In fact, there are still a lot of flats not taken up yet, ironically.
All that I can think of it, prolly most of the applicant applied during the SEP BTO decided to give away as they are aiming for the one near Waterway as most of the unit there have balcony and perhaps by the time their appointment is schedule, most of the good units facing the waterway has been taken up. Knowing Bayview have the same concept, they might have applied for that and have forego the Sep BTO.
Well this is just my theory. =)
It has always been a dream to have a house we called our own. A house where we belong. The freedom to design it from scratch, to choose the concept and to put a personal touch on to it. The chance to be independent.
As much as I am excited to embark on this journey, I felt emotional at times.
Well, being a mummy's girl, I cannot imagine staying far away from my mum. I think I will miss my mother the most. I think I will cry every night la seh. At the least, when I'm staying with her, I could lend a helping hand with the house chores, taking care of my niece and nephew. I hate to admit it but she have aged. She's no more the strong woman anymore. She gets tired, her body aching yet she still have to do a lot of things in the house. I wish..I wish...I can lift up all the burden on her shoulders. I just want her to relax and enjoy her golden years. I am planning on something.Maybe..Insya'allah.
Sigh..ok enoough lah...if I continue..I think I will cry non stop. Haha.
Last but not least, I welcome myself to the Punggol Club.
I blog about applying for BTO in SEP and was not successful in getting a good queue number. However Last month, we receive an invitation letter from HDB to select a flat, but the appointment will onlt be on 21st March 14 and selection of flat started in December. And this only means, I guess by the time our turn come, only left with the belen2 flat. Haiz.
My choice was the Waterway View & the thing about the structured of the flats here, they make it some with balcony in living room, some with balcony in master bedroom and some NONE at all. Aiyah..why lah why..cant they make every unit with a balcony. Not fair seh..some have and some don't have. I reckon by the time my turn is up, the only one left are those without balcony. I tell you, even in this month, when I checked, almost 70% of the units with balcony have been taken up. Sighz..
So, we decided to apply for another BTO in Hougang and guess what, we get the same chance of queue again. Nombor jauh giler..haiz..takder nasib lah nampaknye. In Mar 14, there will be another BTO Launch, but from my understanding, we can only apply 2 at one time kan.
Haiz, mungkin belum ada rezeki lagik. I shall just accept this as a blessing. Kita merancang, Tuhan menentukan. I am sure Allah know what is best for my future. =|
