some updates since my last entry...
1) my fren dun wan to tok to me and another other fren, why? cos he suspects us of sabo-ing him and his "target" gal (conclusion after discussing wif my 'other' fren)... I can swear i never do anything other than tease him...
after all, these are all part and parcel of guy's talk mah... dunno what he is angry abt.. the alleged sabo incident happened last weekend, last weekend i was damn busy where to find time to sabo him...?? siao one.. dunno when he will b angry up to...anyway heck care him... my brother dun wan to tok to me i also like that... i only scare dd dun tok to me.. other ppl heck care lah..
2) got the keys to my new flat at JW st 65 on saturday liao hehe...
3) Finished the "open door" session on sunday...
dd's mum dosen't seems happen dd say the reason are:
1) The flat not good
2) Location too far from city
3) Too big for the 2 of us
4) To rush to buy
5) Alot of things need to be fixed
In conclusion, her recommedation is to buy a smaller resale flat near town...
I think her comments are not fair lor, mabbe we were wrong not to consult them (and my parents) before we go make the booking cos we are after all a chinese family mah parents also protective. My parents were at 1st also unhappy but later they also accepted it and in fact became quite happy cos my dad was scare that the housing price keep going up dunno whether we can afford our own hse or not... but it has been proven we could(HDB had approved)but it also left us wif little CPF $ lah...
ok now my pt of view:
of all the pts listen i can only agree wif (4)... size wise i feel it's ok, alot of things to be fixed? got meh? HDB will fix most of the things for us liao mah.. so in actual fact there's not much stuffs to be fixed. some we can do ourselves also...except mabbe the kitchen cabinet lor...tat one mabbe need to rebuilt the top portion and add a drawer to the bottom part.. dun think that will be more than $1k lor...
dd mum wans us to adopt her 'recommendation' then she will be happy but have she considered our views? not everyone like to live near city or small flat...
me for example, I DEFINITELY won't like to live near the city, i would happily scarifice the convienence of city living to a cheaper and bigger space further away.. what's so good abt city? get closer to noise, jams, pollution? sorry lor i dun like to go city only go there when i have to...
i think dd's dream is to have a bigger living space, wif our financial powers now, i think at most we can only buy a small small 4rm flat (which is near city) which is abt wat we paid for our present bigger flat... wat for right? she wan us to listen to her, but did she considered our views? if she cannot agree wif our decision at least must respect ours..like we respect hers..
Jurong west is not bad also... alot of amenties can be found nearby and there are shopping centers which sell most of our needed stuffs. No need to go down city often and join in the "big squeeze". somemore flats in city area are so cramped together there's no much "natural breeze" and space between apartments... Furthermore in future i think our family size will increase one so the present apartment will not be that "big" anymore...
I think my future MIL shld learn frm my mum, wat she say is "we(my parents) like no use, wat's most important is te 2(dd and me) of us like". Don't try to impose ur ideas on us...
anyway i am an easily satisfied person, i am very satisfied wif the flat (bright, windy, suitable size). now my only worry is dd dun like... tat's why i ask her many times before key collection if dun like can back off and lugi $2000. I dun wan us to quarrel in the future of of these... if she dun like te flat, no pt buying rite? both of us must like...
we could have opted to buy one in sembawang,seng kang or other places..,flats more beautiful,newer and of cos less things to fix but we didn't cos that would be too far for either our our parent's place.. now JW is ok, cos it's relatively near to either of our parents place.. 25mins bus ride frm boon lay MRT to my home, 15min MRT ride from boon lay to dd's home... if seng kang or sembawang i think need at least 1 hr...
watever the case, i've decided to build up my new house into a home asap... hopefully by the time it's done up, it'll b a simple, nice and cosy place...
see my midas touch...
