Spotted

So we started the house hunting this week.

I posted some advertisements on website, but feel skeptical about getting the dream flat. Past experiences did make me realize that you normally didn’t get what you exactly wanted.

But this time is slightly different. On Tuesday itself, I got few text messages from an agent. The first place she proposed was 168a Queensway, which after few keywords search in gothere.sg, I knew just behind anchor point mall! 15 mins bus to my office! When I was still pondering between near mrt vs near office, she comes with another offer, 77a Redhill. My heart skips a beat. This block is one of the 7 blocks I have in my dream house list! The Queensway goes out from my mind and I quickly asked for a Redhill viewing.

Few minutes afterwards, she brought me back to reality that the house is a bit out from my budget, but she did offer me to take a look and see if she can negotiate with the owner.

So I went to the viewing on Friday... alone. I should have wait for weekend when my other flatmates can make it… but I’m just too curious (sorry guys!) The place fits 90% of my dreams. It’s just across the Redhill MRT, it’s near to food court, it’s windy, and it’s at the 6th floor, so no worries of MRT noises. My only disappointment is that the master room is… small, only 3/4 of my current one. I’m not sure how to fit anything inside.


The humble Master Room :(

I shared my stories with my other flatmates…. And they pretty much loved it (I hope it’s not only my own assumption). All we’re waiting now is a confirmation from another flatmate to join us, and then we’ll bid for the place. The agent told us that there is already someone bidding for 2.65K. But let’s see if our innocence faces can win us the bid with 2.5K. Wish us luck!

OK, so much about the flat hunting update. I’m still skeptical about this going smooth… but will surely post another update next week. Moving date is in 6 weeks time! And some of my flatmates have already started packing! That’s the spirit! Yet I’m still trying to find someone to fix my aircon.

Office was pretty fine. Big boss was not around and small boss was relaxed a bit. Domino effect, the small me got the chance to slack as well :p Next week everyone will be back in office… and I shall prepare for the battle. I don’t need a fortune teller to tell me that I will have loads of work next week. So many meetings coming up!

Apart from the upcoming pathetic days, I have few days which I’m looking forward too. May 28 – 30. My parents will be in SG! For the long weekend! Yay Yay Yay. I’m yet to order what to bring from hometown :D and I guess I can get my parents to transfer some of my stuff home too. 2 years is a long time to stack a bit of, erm, unnecessary stuff.

My dad wants to stay in the newly opened Marina Bay Sands. I gasped a bit when I check the price online… it is doubled from the normal 5 stars hotel! But come to think about it, they are only here for 2 days… and they don’t come frequently too. So just as I was about to book the room, my sister called up and asked me to hold on. She will help to check and see if there is any promotion back in Indonesia… let’s see… I’m not in rush to spend $1000. hahaha..

I’m updating blog today instead of tomorrow because…. Today is my brother’s birthday! The link? He called me up 9am in the morning to tell me that today is his birthday (OK it doesn’t happen every year, but this year he is determined to make it a unique one) Being suddenly awaken like that, I forgotten that it’s his birthday… until he reveals it after 15 mins in call. Consciousness rushes to my mind and I feel totally guilty and awake in sudden. OMG I forgotten my brother b’day :’(

After a nice half an hour chat, I then go back to sleep :p… but not for long. My sister calls afterwards asking me to wake up and enjoy the summer breeze. I said yes and went back to my bed, but then my phone keeps beeping and I finally given upon my beauty sleep. I woke up and chatted with my flatmates till lunch (well normally no one is at home when I woke up) and then did a quick laundry and idling... so I started blogging :)

Tomorrow, I’m looking forward to 2 movies in a row. Ip Man 2 and Iron Man 2. See how similar they are? Both start with I, end with Man, and it’s their sequel. And for me, I didn’t watch any of the previous series.

I will have to sleep early today if I don’t want to fall asleep in the cinema tomorrow. Hahaha..

Till next week!
