Alright, most of you have already been informed that yes, Adam and I have bought a flat together. It's called Parc Lumiere, the DBSS site in Simei. It actually is along Simei road, about 20-30m away from my 2 aunties' house and about 10min walk from my own home too. Very very convenient.
The purchase was very sudden because the developers had this DBSS on a first-come-first-serve basis and not balloting. Adam and I have been eyeing that location too but we didn't think that the launch would happen just like tt - so sudden. We were in a frenzy coz the news reported of a queue already outside the showflat on the Friday night. Official launch was to be on Saturday.
We were some of the donkeys that actually queued overnight. Haha!! Like Adam said, "I have never been son kiasu in my whole life." It was a huge family affair coz my parents came and went a few times, reliefing us of our queues and bringing food and drinks. Adam's mum also woke up bright and early on Saturday to deliver us breakfast. She came around again in the afternoon to see us progress through the queue to pick our unit. It was really tiring.
Our queue number was #176. By the time we booked our unit, our number was #0110. Therefore, about 60 odd applicants had chosen to give up because of the queue or because of affordability. We queued 23 hours before we finally booked our unit. It was no joke. All this happened on 18th April. I still had my last exam paper on the 20th. It was crazy lah...
But now tt all the relevant forms have been submitted and the finances have been worked out, everything is smooth and relaxed again. It won't be tt long, supposed to be completed in 2-3years time. Meanwhile we will be saving up for the reno and other nitty gritty stuff that we will need for our own home.
The next few things I will be looking forward to is to sort and throw all my old notes and books, as well as shopping for my working clothes. That should keep me occupied for a while. =)

Bye Bye Graduation Project
I am going to submit the report tml. I don't care that the deadline got extended till Monday. A bit stupid to extend it now coz it is already completed and who wants to continue sloughing over it when exams start next week??
Goodbye GP, it was hell meeting you.
Hello Exams.

Exactly 1 week
I used to count down till the end of exams. Now I am just counting down to the submission of my GP. And we will be celebrating already upon submitting the GP on Thursday. LOL. Celebrating even before we sit for the exams. =)
And I am typing this post using Adam's Mac. Oh boy, what a difference the Mac makes... The photos on my blog look brighter and more vibrant. The colours all just spring out and makes the whole thing look even more beautiful than it already is... Sigh... I want to get a lappie again soon. Maybe with my first bonus.
Yes, tml I will be camping myself in front of a comp in school to pia my GP. In the morning before meeting Cat and it shall go on in the afternoon after the meeting. I have never ever worked so hard for a project. Maybe just once when I was still in Poly. But tt was coz the software could only be found in the school IT lad so we wanted to finish it in one go and we stayed in school till almost 9 to finish it. I hate IT. Computers constantly challenge me.
Revelation
I realised that boys aren't the only ones who have difficulties with temptations. Girls have temptations too. And it's difficult to resist too.
Oh boy, who knew it could be this way??
