My new home - Parc Lumiere

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. =)
