Big commitment

On a very random day, 'Isham and I decided to try balloting for BTO,
just trying really. no concrete plans or anything. Then 4 months later suddenly we were at HDB signing documents.
Firstly, we have decided to keep it low profile and anw not many ppl read my blog, so... i thought i should blog my whole experience down. I really don't need anyone to question the stability of my relationship in any point.

We balloted for a 4 room at Keat Hong which was the best among all that were released in the same area so far, however, our queue no was 3rd from the last, which means... really bad.
We went to see the actual site and nearby amenities to see convenience... which is not too bad, really.
Selection started late dec whereas ours was only scheduled in Mar this year.
As time goes by, more and more of the units nearest to the LRT were taken up.
and because of the ethnic quota(had to follow malay first), cck seem to have many malays, i wonder why.
we were 1 queue short of our first choice unit, but quickly realised the benefit our 3rd choice(which we eventually got),firstly, the windows faces road which means unblocked view, no neighbours opposite my unit and neighbourhood park just beside our block, plans were made to build school at the opposite side of the road, which may be convenient? and hopefully more unblock views because the school can't be as tall as our floor!

Lastly, there will be a supermarket and childcare, fast food chain and foodcourt just nearby. :) no need travel too far... 1 sad thing is, because of the new regulation, our plans of getting a car have now been pushed back  and we have decided to get the flat instead.

The flat would be ready in 4.5years time, just enough time for marriage i guess?
by that time i would be 27, which is abit old ah.

The grant should be enough to see us through the downpayment, and based on calculation, no cash needed to top up for monthly HDB loan. what is more worrying are the furnitures and electronics and reno which will cost a bomb, the house itself is not an issue i guess.

Shall let the pic do the talking










Visited the showroom to give us some idea of how we want our reno to be. I like the 3 room deisgn best!!So cozy, just that the toilet is a major turn off








headed to JB after that to satisfy my craving for dimsum, because most dimsum contains pork, always had to give it a miss, so i was super happy to have found out that one of the hotels near JB actually got halal dim sum! and super cheap summore!! hahaha I was having a good time but dearest was struggling with the overdose of flour. HAHA he liked the fried beancurd skin with prawn and har gow though, i still like my chee cheong fun best! yummy!! after the buffet we were so full we had to walk lots of rounds in the shopping mall to digest the food. HAHA .den we went back sg to draw out plans on how we wanna reno and arrange our stuff, but was only halfway done >.<





















Work tmr!! The script concert this fri!!!

It really has been awhile


Hi All, today I must share some of my grievances... 
As many of you would know I shifted to my new place about 2 weeks ago.
Spent almost $1k on really minor renovation(ok wait, this is not part of what i wanted to share, just an update)
got new study table which is overfilled with Dearest's handicraft from the past 5 years.
leaves me not much space and the table wasn't huge to begin with.
By the time i reach home after work at night, Mum would be asleep by then, so if i ever have to study, i would still need the dining table. As much as this house have given me lots of space as in literally, i can now do insanity workout freely and still have mum somewhere in the kitchen and bro&sis-in law in the room, Babe comes over to do insanity which leaves my marble flooring flooded with his perspiration, i think i gave up quite abit. i had to take up loans on behalf to make sure we have enough cash to pay for the house for the COV. The loan is 4 years, I have 2, and another one for my Poly school fees, which will be fully paid in 6 years. By the end of 4 years, hopefully BTO would be ready, I would be ready for marriage and *BOOM, HDB loan. So all in all, I have debts and will take donkey years to be debt free.
Although the loans taken to pay for the house are covered through my monthly allowance to mum  and  the rental that we collect, the thought of loans irks me. I don’t like how just because I am the only one in the family who can take up the loan(due to my monthly income), I have to do it?

Sometimes I wonder if I am being too selfish towards my own family member, a part of me tells me WTF ARE YOU THINKING? THEY ARE YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO DOUBTS IN LENDING THEM $ OR EVEN GIVING THEM. The other part of me tells me I need to safe keep my money, or else I will be as poor as them. As all of you would know I didn’t grow up in the best family, when I was younger, I stayed with my god-parents and also my nanny and panny(I refer them as), which I am thankful because they taught me life values which I probably will never get to learn in my own family, my goal from young was simple, I cannot follow my parent’s footstep, I don’t have to be extremely smart, but just enough to give me a stable job and stable income, I don’t  need to have a rich husband, just one that is with me when I need him.

Then eventually, I scored better than my bro in exams, went on to poly and obtained my diploma, even at graduation day no one came. Just Isham and I. At Sec sch’s achievers day, when I go up on stage, I felt no one was really proud of my achievements so far, my mum finds it a chore to go school for report book because I am usually ok in school. No issues or whatsoever. Lol, maybe that’s the result of being too independent,.

Mum I acknowledge her hardwork over the years hasn’t been easy on her but maybe because I didn’t spend my childhood with her, I am  not as close to her… So I also concluded that I cannot be a workaholic and spend enough time with my kids next time because in future I want them to be close to me, to share the problems they race in school.

Thankful also that my family have been welcoming to Isham ever since he got the opportunity to come over to my new house to help out with the cleaning and everything. Makes me think the initial years of doubts are worth to be proven over time…

The other day, dad asked me for $1k, I didn’t have that kind of money, I still have to pay for my course fees, school fees. Ever since I started working, I haven’t given him any money. Again, part of me says I should give because he is my dad afterall, another part of me tells me, what have he done for you so far? Was he there for you? To be honest after primary school I think he doesn’t even know where I study, what I do in school, where was I going? So.. I asked myself if he has really provided for me? Of course my dad and bro have the same pattern, when they are rich, they share with you their joy, but the rich period usually don’t last, most of the time they will be poor longer than they are rich, so at the end of the day, I become the one again because I have a stable income monthly so everyone starts borrowing money/ ask for money from me. Total burden to me, but is there something I can do?

I hope I can get married soon, but I am not ready, no one is ready for marriage, my house is not ready, then how to escape this? I am so tired because every month my bro will borrow money from me, seriously, if you are so poor den don’t get a wife? But no faults on his wife cus she isn’t exactly the most difficult person to mix with, shes ok… but seriously, how can any girl marry a guy that have no money sense.

How can anyone spend to the last cent and realize he doesn’t have anymore money and start to borrow? I told myself I cannot live like this. I cannot let this happen to me, my aim is simple. Get married and fuck off  literally, because if I continue to stay here I will get fucked.

Bullshit things isn’t it.  

Recently babe and I had a massive quarrel almost leading up to a breakup in fact I was 70% sure it was over until he my heart kinda soften after he bought and carried 50kg table and drawer from  Ikea… oh well. I am ugly but ok lor. there will always be pretty ppl around right? Just hope for the best until I die of old age… please… cannot take any more failure and heartaches and I cannot repeat mistakes and HISTORY!!! NO I MUST MAKE MY LIFE BETTER SWEETER AND EASIER THAN ANYONE ELSE.

Anw the other day we were at Isetan browsing through baby prams. $400 - $700++ also have.. seriously kids these days are so expensive to raise and NO, I am not pregnant and I am not looking into pregnancy at least for the next 3 years? I hope to finish giving birth by 30 or 31 latest cus I think my body will be too old to handle, and not sure if I have the time and energy at 31 to look after newborns…

OK RANT FINISH LIAO!!!

MORAL OF THE STORY IS EDUCATION CAN BRING YOURSELF OUT OF POVERTY, BUT PEOPLE AROUND YOU KEEPS YOU BACK IN POVERTY.

SHIT LIFE AINT IT
