Yeah!

Each time I receive a letter from H0B, I was hoping for good news. But nope, all these letters would say the same ol' things "Your application have been cancelled". That's the first thing I would really want to hear after a long day at work. *tsk tsk*





After waiting for almost 2 months, we have finally received the H0B's invitation to select an unit. But the sharing of this good news wasn't quite the same as what I would have expected. There was no jumping around, any 'WooHOO!', no fireworks. All I had was unanswered calls to Gerrie. Lol.





Don't get me wrong, we are both excited about the coming date with H0B. After all, this is going to be our very first home. =)

Wedding Band

We have been shopping for our wedding bands for quite sometime already. From Tiffany, SooKee, Goldheart, Lee Hwa to Love & Co. Finally decided which band we would like.


But decided to wait till we pay for the option fee for our unit.


Gerrie has been asking if H0B has sent us the letter.


Patience!

Ring Part 2

On Friday night, Gerrie wanted to meet me at Vivo City. We happened to pass by S00 Kee and went to chat with Adrian, who had been a really good salesperson when I had purchase the Brilliant Rose last year.


He showed us the Brilliant Rose wedding bands, which we had not been thinking of getting them yet.


But we decided maybe some early shopping wouldn't hurt abit.


Shopping for wedding bands is not an easy task. For us, at least.


I was thinking that Gerrie could get a half-eternity ring, so that she could pair it up with the solitaire.


Goldheart has a decent one, going for less than $600.


Then we walked into T&Co. And we instantly knew why they could charge a premium price.


Their rings are set in platinum, which would cost twice of a white gold.






Isn't this ring nice?













Their classic rings for men look really simple, but the weight is heavier than those found in the other jewellery stores.





This would cost approx. $2500.


Abit too costly eh.

Still Waiting

We were on our way to church this Sunday morning when we decided to check out the building site for our flat.








Still waiting for the letter and flat selection date.

So Kiasu...

Sometimes I also buay tahan myself.

Still in a shock that we are selected to purchase an unit.

Kept checking the website and re-read the contents. Ok, so now we know they would contact us in April/ May for the selection of units.

Then I called up the hotline to ask what would the procedures going to be.

Pay $2000 option fee.


Then make a 10% downpayment and 1-3% for stamp and legal fees.


These are information we already know. But it's good to confirm we are indeed the 70th people in the Q.


Buay tahan myself.

Our First Home? Really?

On a relaxing Sunday, when you're bored, you would surf HD8 website. Then you would notice this particular icon:




Ok, maybe it's just me.

One good thing is that it allows you to view your profile by using your 5ingpa55.

And that's what I did.

Then I saw the following:

You have been shortlisted to select a x-Room flat in xxx. Your queue number is 000XX. We will mail the detailed information on the flats available for booking to you nearer the selection date.

I immediately woke Gerrie from her sleep. Imagine the excitement! She can't stop saying, "WoohOO!"

I then sat down and began to do my math. On how much downpayment we would put, the loan size and tenor.

Here's some pictures of the place.














Finally!
