since the current WIS doesn't haf any flats suitable for us, we patiently wait n wait (i tink my neck are abit longer liao) until sian. dunno when the HDB wan to release new WIS. my mum asked her fren's hubby who worked in HDB, his mouth damn tight leh, oni said ard dec. i predicted it to be in oct coz last was also ard the same time, alas i was wrong. there was a thread discussing abt the WIS in SingaporeBrides.com, and someone said it'll be released most prob on 07nov coz most WIS were released on a tuesday. well, she almost striked BINGO coz the WIS was released on 06nov which was a day earlier.

it was a normal mon morning. i woked hubby up (he was staying over) at 7am, was drifting back to sleep when i heard on radio dat the WIS has been released. so LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY dat we left the radio on throughout the nite (mi n hubby muz listen radio den can sleep one). usually when my mum sleeps with mi, she'll off it one lor. again i tot i heard wrongly coz earlier the radio was toking abt the Sri Geylang Serai BTO (build-to-order), tot radio siao siao went to repeat again. but i remember i heard hougang, sengkang & punggol in the background. OMG, muz be the WIS. i immediately jumped up fm the bed and on my pc to check the HDB online.

"huang tian bu fu you xin ren", once i saw the many units of flats available online, i was sure i didn't hear wrongly. commanded hubby to take urgent leave coz i wan to go HDB n queue liao, otherwise how to get good units n locations. i oni managed to get 1/2day coz i've a report to finish. i quickly bathe and off we went to HDB in TPY (toa payoh). reached there ard 8.10am, our queue no. 185 and our appointment to book flat will be on the first day of selection 08nov itself, but in the aftn. considered good liao though i still nt satisfied. the queue no. for those who queued at 11am was 800++ and by noon was 1000++.

went Mac for b'fast and some discussions with hubby b4 heading down to SK (sengkang) to view the EA showflats. we agreed dat we'll get a 5-rm flat but after seeing dat most of the 5-rm flats were either re-purchased (with minor reno done) or no chinese quota, we decided to get EA instead. our plan was to get premium flats coz the flooring were done up and piping are concealed. this will save us thousands $$ off the reno bill. best will be get showflats coz the reno cost is included in the sales price mah. we shortlisted three areas, compassvale st., rivervale crescent & anchorvale lane as hougang has oni re-purchased flats and punggol is too inconvenient.

we reached the 1st EA showflat ard 12.15pm. the ID created a chinois looked for the whole place except the kitchen. the wall of the MBR (master bedroom) door has been hacked to make it big enough to fit a 2-door and the toilet hidden in the wardrobe. i loved the look but nt hubby, simple too cheena for him liao and the study room wall has been hacked off to make a cosy corner. let mi explain, hacking of wall is a no no for hubby coz it means the value of the flat goes down. lol. furthermore, the price of this showflat is a hefty $368k!!! the 2nd showflat has a modern look. like the 1st showflat, the study room wall has been hacked and the MBR toilet is also hidden in the wardrobe. one bad thing is dat one of the wardrobe mirror faces the bed directly, which is bad FS (fengshui). i loved the many cabinets dat the ID was put up, also the pebbled-wash floor of the dinning area & balcony. hubby was more keen on getting this place unit but he tinks the workmanship of the carpentry done doesn't justify the sales price of $330k. ok, so now showflats for us.

it was going to 1pm and i need report for work liao, so we decided to view the shortlisted areas later in the nite.
