We went to MacDonalds around 11pm plus. While waiting, I was surfing the new clothes website provided by Michelle (I don't rem the link.. It's on laptop. Now I'm on desktop.)... Xiaohui was quite bored. But he's sweet... He sent a sms message to the MacDonald TV...

"Will you marry me my dear princess. From Klaus"

Keekee...

Finally! 12midnight... We filed our marriage application. The whole process took us half an hour(?!?!?!?!) It's confirmed (unless somethings in between happened)

Not much updates now as most of the stuff are confirmed. The things pending within the next 2 months are:

- The First Appointment with HDB on 6th June 2007
- Finding and confirming a bridal studio

We met up with Uncle David and signed the "contract" and paid the 2nd part of the "Option to Purchase". $500.

So.. When the documents are official submitted to HDB, Xiaohui and I are official owners of the CCK flat.. Unless the our application is rejected..

Viewing 2 flats today. Both in Clementi. One is ~280k(V) + 25k cash, the other is ~260k(V) +15k cash. We are considering the second, but in hope of bringing down the cash part. Hmmz... But loads of work need to be done for the renovation part.

*sigh* Alot of cash involved. Would the CCK one be better?

We viewed another 3 units today.

First one was a 5 room flat. Nearest MRT is Bukit Gombak, but about 3 to 4 bus stops away. Super cheap. $245k only. No cash. Heaily Renovated. Pros: Cheap for a 5 room. Cons: 3 floor. In front is bus stop, behind is carpark and coffeeshop, abit noisy. Renovated, but style don't suit. Still have alot to re-renovate. Quite far in.

Second. 4 Room. 5 minutes walk to Yew Tee MRT. Not too bad, 7th floor. But, super hot. I think got sun. Dunno which direction.

Third. 4 Room. Nearest MRT, Yew Tee. About 3 bus stops away from MRT. 5 year old building. But expensive. Valuation: $270k. Need to re-renovate. Current style don't suit us. Go in only, I was feeling giddy.


Now, we won't be viewing more units. Taking a break. Hoping that in the next 2 months, the prices may drop abit. This month, the prices had rocketed too high. Too much for us to handle.
