JayJay and I were at our weekly family dinner when Jolene (JayJay's sister) mentioned that there is an upcoming BTO Come Home To Sweet Treats (Sengkang) in November 2012.
Initially we didn't give much thought to it since its been only months since we got together but subconsciously, the BTO topic kept lingering at the top of our heads.
The Compassvale Mast is strategically situated 5 minutes from Sengkang MRT and surrounding it are Compass Point, Shell Petrol Kiosk, Community Center, Police Post, Sengkang Swimming Pool and the upcoming Sengkang General and Community Hospital.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, it was just 2 streets across JayJay's parents place.
We had heavy conversations about our future for weeks; marriage, finances and having children. In conclusion, there seems to be nothing that is working against this decision.
Hence we took a leap of faith, paid $10 administrative fees and waited anxiously for a reply from HDB. Anxious is an understatement. We checked the HDB website almost every single day for our queue number and finally after a long wait ....
456
And the worrying doesn't end here. Ultimately we want a high level unit at Compassvale Mast instead of Rivervale Delta so we dial the HDB hotline fortnightly to check the dropout rate before our sales appointment date.
There is a Chinese saying "What is yours, is yours".
I never once thought we were so lucky to get a unit which we both liked, since we had friends who had experienced multiple failures in balloting.
JASLEY'S HOME in YEAR 2016 / 2017 :D
