Some Updates

Ahh how time flies, Today is Oct 5th aleady...means wat?
Oct 3- 6th aniversary of my enlistment
Oct 4- 1 yr since i got my driving lic -> i dun need to hang the triangle sign anymore haha

Fast right? very soon my martial status might b "married" also ... ... ...

Can't help but keep thinking of the JW eflat we are getting. Did another comparison wif a similar new flat.found out that it's exactly $13k more expensive... Worth it? err.. frankly speaking at the rate we are gg i think the reno is not worth $13k lor.. somemore i think dd is not happy wif many of the renovations so i think in the end they all have to go... perharps it would be more worthwhile to get a new one... But then now it's too late to think of this now.. Now I am psyching myself that we pay that little bit more because we wan to stay on the "better" side ofthe block(more sunlight ->brighter) and "8" is a lucky number.. watever... dun think of the worthwhile thingy...dunno y no matter wat we always cannot get something cheap... always get something at "normal" price(but usu turn out quite good, hopefully this unit will b the same)..
I think once we decided on something liao then mustn't get distracted and think of others lor..very bad... dun go think of "if i get this other flat, will it be better?" something like tat... waste time and will make urself feel miserable..

HDB launching a new exec condo at Tampines called the "Primere @ Tampines"... Price range from $308k-$450k.. i think everyone was quite hyped up abt this... anyway the price includes aircon and renovations (meaning u gotta accept the developer's renovations)... Did some interesting calculations... if get a unit at middle floor cost abt $379k..if got rebate = $349k
total sum gotta pay a month(including 2.6% interest)=$1220++ a mth. meaning the CPF ordinary acc will have $0 for the next 30yrs...

Worth it? depends on ppl...dd seems to be excited abt the word "condo" ... hmm mabbe she is trying to get her last "C"? mabbe but to be honest, it does not appeal to me...

Been thinking abt th words "dreaming" and "ambitious" also... I think there's also a thin red line between these 2 just like "good" and "bad"... after some tots, finally come out wif some definitions(my own). Dreaming - Think of "wants"(sometimes mateial gains) but not how to achieve it, not being realistic. Ambitious - think of realistic targets and also the plans to achieve it.

also have been thinking whether I am very odd for my age... at present, colleagues of my age group are out enjoying themselves wif massages(decent ones), Karaoke, dancing, clubbing etc (even my elder bro)...as for me? no, nothing mabbe some sports once in a while and most of the time saving $$.. some of my colleagues are also saving $$ lah, but for me it's for marriage, for them it's to get their dream car...
Am I really the odd one out??
