my 1st post here. mi n hubby haf juz booked our little nest, an EA (executive apartment) on 08-nov. our initial plan was to stay with my MIL (fyi: mum-in-law) after our customary in dec07. i did not really like the idea of staying together with MIL coz i wanted to avoid the chance of having any conflict with her or my BILs (fyi: bro-in-law). as the chinese saying "xiang jian rong yi, tong zhu nan", it is easy to meet, but difficult to together. but hubby doesn't want to buy a new place unless mi n MIL really can't get along (if really wait till then, i sure suffer lor) as the current flat is under both MIL & his name. so i bo pian have to agree to move in instead.

GOD must have heard my thoughts or MIL & hubby simply changed their minds. on 23sept, i was wif my frens at cartel serangoon gardens celebrating jazree's b-day when hubby called. he suddenly told mi we should go HDB apply for our place (sound like in the olden days proposal, guy ask gal to apply HDB flat, means asking her to marry him). i was ecstatic though i tot my hearing got problem or i muz have heard the wrong question. so i asked hubby whether he was sure anot, i dunno him to make mi happy den make mi disappoint later when he say dun wan to buy. he replied he had been tinking abt this for some time already and MIL also tink we should get our own place.

reason being... the current flat is only a 4-rm and there are 5ppl staying there, my MIL, hubby, 2 BIL and their maid. if i move in next dec will be 6ppl and if we were to have a baby will be 7ppl liao. simply two squeezy lor. hey, i told tis reason to hubby last year when we were abt to ROM lor and he still can tell mi sure got space one. isn't dat slapping his own face. ooppps.

BUT hor... since getting our own place wasn't in our wedding plans. it also means dat we didn't save up for our own place, only for our wedding. SHIT!!!! moreover only left a little more than a year till our customary liao. so many things to do, but so little time and not enough monies.

the plan was to sell the 4-rm flat, MIL will buy re-sale flat with BIL whereas mi n hubby get a new place. both of us went into a frenzy searching the HDB online for the flats available for sale at dat time. DARN, all the good locations were either taken or the chinese quota full. those available are the lousy areas. got one EA in woodlands has the unit no# 04-444, no chinese will buy one lor (it was sold eventually but i confirm the buy sure fm other ethnic group). who koes hubby dropped mi a bombshell a few days later, MIL dun wan to sell the flat liao coz a re-sale flat is too expensive. MIL n hubby is worried dat BIL can't afford the monthly loan payments. she told hubby dat we can get our place after we get married. com on lah, wats the difference. i even offer dat my hubby's whole family move over with us if they sell their flat. hubby said MIL dun wan to stay with us (or izit me???). i was so upset dat i scolded hubby dat they were playing a fool with mi and slammed his phone. all this while crying in the cab.

in the end, i won the battle. hubby said we'll still get our own place. he'll juz transfer his ownership of the 4-rm flat to BIL. so the tears of a woman really works after all. we called HDB and ask when is the next WIS (walk-in-selection) and where the locations will be. was delighted dat to hear the WIS will be during 4th quarter (oct-dec) and the locations were hougang, sengkang & punggol. yipee, this means i can be near my mum n sis. more convenient for mi coz my mum will take care of my future kids.
