Changing our Game Plan Yo!
HDB Letter is here – and I’m not in SG to receive it. So, my mother was the one who opened it, took pictures and sent it over to me via whatsapp. Well, I was away in Siem Reap bringing Sec3 students for AGC. Of course, I had to break the news to my boyfriend real fast!
The much awaited HDB Letter! 🙂
We had our choice of units in mind already. Block 128A #12-512. Only cos it has ‘1’ and ‘2’… You know, ‘want to’ do everything with your life partner kinda thing. But I guess to a certain extend we were kinda foolish to base our LIFE decisions on numbers. I know I know… We even look pass the windows issue even! So here it goes, why we actually change our entire game plan altogether – like literally 360deg change! It actually started with me asking my HOD that I need to apply leave for some matters. That’s when she probed further. Lucky she isn’t my Reporting Officer, hence I’m pretty much open especially when it comes to personal life matters. She isn’t that bad as what others portray her to be – but anyways – back to my whole point.
We were in our dreaded SMC Meeting on a June Holidays afternoon that we got side tracked. She asked quite a fair bit of things about the units we were looking into. So, to ‘look busy’ during a meeting, we shared pictures about each other BTOs. Well, she just renovated hers and therefore, as a kind gesture, she invited us over to have a look at her place. After all, her unit and the unit we were looking into is of two different floor plan. The one we were looking into looked just like my brother’s one (which has the bomb shelter on one corner of the house, which we initially don’t mine). Wait till we get to her place – it really open up our mind to a whole new perspective. Honest. 
Hers was something like this.
(1) The corridor of unit 741, 739 and 737 is huge. At least, if we have kenduri next time, it wont so crampy?
(2) The bomb shelter in unit 741 is by the kitchen – this makes the hall slightly bigger, entrance not obstructed by the bomb shelter!
(3) Ah yes, the windows are 4 by 2 panels. What we hoped for!
(4) Yes, service yard can be seen by neighbours who walked pass but its a small matter!
(5) Bonus: Aisyah, Fit and Adyan is in #10-741. That will make us as neighbours!
(6) Near expressway in the future. MRT for Irman to travel to work.
(7) Running track in our estate!
(8) Basement carpark – we can just park nearest to our lift/unit. No need to walk so far 🙂
(9) Get our keys asap (even before we are married) but we wont move in asap la
(10) No need to wait for 5 years for BTO man! Pheww!
We have been tracking the HDB apps to ensure that the units we eyeing for are still available for us to select!
We just spy(ed) once more last weekend and all I can say is we are so damn psyched for July and then for August.
May Allah ease our affairs, In Shaa Allah.
Love,
Nadzirah Andi (obviously trying to escape , I mean take a break, from setting Prelim Papers).
