Hougang

After I triumphed as the cleanliness and neatiness monster, came another piece of good news! We have finally, finally, got a queue no. for the Hougang BTO!!!!!!!!

No more oversubscribed message, no more wasting of $10 for the BTO application (we have spent $70!)!

Our queue no. was 262 out of 528 units so it's a definite that we will be able to get a 4-room this time round.

My PIL were happy to know that it has come to our turn to choose a flat at last though my parents felt it was far away from them. But they understand what's most importantly is not to forgo this golden opportunity!

My FIL was more excited than us so he suggested we went to for a site recce after we buy the bed in the evening.

We are almost settled for the bed which cost at a special promotion price of $699 for a nice bed frame, inclusive of a 12-year warranty mattress. What held us back was the order we made for the mattress from Henry's friend. Until now, there was no confirmation on the delivery date.

Hence, MIL had a suggestion - to buy the bed set at $699 first and if the order for the Slumberland mattress is confirmed, she will replace her old mattress with the one from the bed set. If not, we will take the entire set.

We would like to wait a few more days for the confirmation of the mattress. So, both my MIL and I will go down together to buy the mattress on 20 May.

After dinner, we drove to the site to check out the location. Apparently, it's a distance away from the nearest NEL station, Buangkok but it's close to the nice Punggol Park. I think we don't have much of a choice here. MIL said we could consider buying a small car in few years' time to cut down on the inconvenience of going to work and going back to my house.
