Our new home!

Blk 269C Punggol Fields, #04-201. Yup, that's our new home!

Went for our unit selection this morning at HDB Hub and by God's grace we were able to to secure a unit of our choice. Never really expect to get any 'decent' choice given the limited number of units left as of this morning. Really thank God for our new home (technically speaking it is still just a piece of land at this moment. everything will only be ready in 3 years time? or maybe sooner).

Good thing about this BTO is that all the flats are premium units, meaning the flooring, cabling and basic fittings are all included! We even had the option to add a 'classy' looking door for $1,890 (LQ is more excited about the door than the unit itself :x). All in all the unit cost us $255,790. Its pretty costly for 4-rooms but most importantly we're so excited, happy and sooo hyped about our new property. Next thing to look forward will be the renovation plans in a couple of years time.

Speaking of that, we visited the habitat forum at the Hub office to source for ideas and concepts for our reno. Snapped a few pics:

From birds eye view. Can see our unit? #04-201. :)
Our unit is smack down in the middle of the whole estate! ;)

The floor plan


We also snapped a few pics of the showroom. Nice right?
Living/dining room



Bedroom converted to study room. We both like the concept very much!



The other bedroom, also nice concept. We like we like! ^^




Master bedroom, with a nice sliding wardrobe :)

A forgettable week

Been a kinda depressing week at work. Not for me though, but the people around me. Plus my dearest lunch group kenah downsize for the whole week cos Lin, Keith and Guan training and meeting almost whole week, MDF MC, making lunch time rather pathetic. Good thing work has been keeping me occupied...

A sumptuous breakfast to greet me on Friday morning, all thanks to Lin meimei (for being born on 12 Sep), Lin Mama (for cooking) and Lin (for always thinking and taking good care of my stomach)! Kopi C courtesy of Keith x 3.

At 9.05am:









10mins later at 9.15am:









Yum yum! The chicken wing and the dunno what meat (chicken I think) was fantastic! *still drooling*. Looking fwd to next Wed's glutinous rice :)

Sian, September and October full of weekend classes, starting from tomorrow onwards..2-10pm. ZZZZzzzzzzz..thinking of skipping the 2nd half to attend the gospel rally. Should I?

Random update

Was surprised to receive the brochure from HDB for the Punggol Sapphire unit selection last week . Never saw it coming since our queue number's so lousy - 0926. (considering only 760 units of 4-rm flats are available).
Our appointment will be on 25 Sept, 10:45am. Hopefully we'll be granted better choices this coming selection :)

One week term break's over. Just got the dates for my Dec08 exams:
4 Dec (Thurs) - P4 Advanced Financial Management
8 Dec (Mon) - P1 Professional Accountant
9 Dec (Tues) - P2 Corporate Reporting
Killer paper to end off my final exams (fingers crossed, toes crossed, eyes crossed). Gotta start planning my revision, only 96 more days to exams. -.-
