Half ze Time

Alhmadulillah I can't keep this quiet and under a secret. WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! Like finally! After 4 years of staying at my MIL's place, I finally have my own place to stay. I won't tell you the story of our house hunting as I have mentioned it here previously. We went to see a bunch of other houses from our agent's listing but mostly not to our liking. Either the corridor was too busy with too many neighbours, too far from bustop, main road, shops and everything. Or good location but too expensive but very minimal home condition. I believed that everything happen for a reason and perfect timing. So here are the details: $420k. No COV Tampines St 83 4A model 109 sqm Corner - having 3 neighbours only Fully furnished with aircons in all 3 rooms, oven, water heater, 1 build-in wardrobe in master bedroom Toilet HIP (Home Improvement programme) done and paid I only took few pictures when we were there. And they are quite nice to give us

OMG I can't tell you enough how stressful I am during this searching ad looking for resale flat. K Back story a bit. We applied 2 SBF and 1 BTO just beside the Temasek Poly AND GOT REJECTED WITHOUT A NUMBER. And am so furious already so we decided to get resale flat. And my heart has been cheated 5 times after falling for the home and loving it. THEN, the problem starts to arise. Cannot go lower to our ideal price, house in very bad conditions with hacked rooms and store room, no HIP toilets, cannot pay using CPF and bla3. It is supposed to be 3 months process once we set the deal and yet, it was very hard for us. Firstly, we found our perfect home, ground floor with high windows and near my MIL place. But, the owner doesn't want to lower the price of the house when the house condition needs too many revamping (kitchen cabinets are great but the ceiling has molds and the waterproofing has worn off, window grills were in original condition a.k.a. rusty and out of date.

Salam Everyone and Ramadhan Kareem. Another year of Ramdhan and Syawwal at my MIL's place. Seriously, we are really wanting to move on with our lives but HDB paperwork is crazy. A and I applied last August's Sales of Balance Flat (SBF) at Tampines and we got rejected out-rightly. The letter said that we didn't even get a chance of ballot number. We then decided to get resale flat and applied for House Loan Eligibility. Those paper works too get into my nerves when I had to submit documentations and statements of why my CPF contribution and the payslip is not tally, why is there extra income and so on. We applied in February and only in March, we resolved the situation. I remembered that I was super sick, went to the doctor and then to HDB branch office at Tampines Hub, waited 2 hours plus and they skipped my number because of lunch time (I came at 11.15am, still not lunch time and only 1 or 2 officers under HDB, the rest are all under different office) We receive

I just can't wait for my own place pleeeeaseeeeee. I want my own kitchen! huhu We are looking high and low for resale flat near my mom's place and some are quite impressive. I am hoping we are getting 80k grant, good home area and no need to renovate so much! Hahah! Did some research and they are quite a few which are nice and the kitchen is super lawa. We'll apply for HLE and other documentations to settle before finding our ideal place. I truly love the kitchens like up here and actually bought quite a few things from Australia tooo. Oh did I mentioned I won Philips Air Fryer for my company's dnd? HAHA! I actually wished for it! Till then, finding house is so hard and a chore especially the paper work and moneyyyyy.
