The previous owner of the flat I bought is pissing me endlessly. 1st she says the current old couple who is renting the master bedroom would find it very difficult to rent a place for 2 months. Cos that’s when they will move out of Singapore and back to Malaysia for good. So fine, I accomodate her request and said that the old couple can stay. Now she says that the gangster looking tenant that rents the other 2 rooms…
View PostAs you all know, I have recently gone ahead and put myself waist deep in debts by purchasing a 4-room flat in Singapore. Home ownership in Singapore is 90.1%! But what Singaporeans really are is everyone here is in debt. Home loans here do extremly well. Well, mine’s a small apartment but it’s at a lovely place near town. I’m pretty excited to start this new phase in my life. There’s a supermarket 5 mins walk away, a coffee shop…
View PostSo last weekend I decided to email this ID firm whose office is located near the new home. I don’t know why any employer will hire a salesperson or rather a client-servicing person who does not inspire confidence or trust over the phone. Often, the first contact the client has with the company can be over the phone… So this guy, let’s call him LS, answered the call and became the ID assigned to me. Nvm, maybe he’s had a…
View PostI was talking to my mom about my plans for the HDB flat and my brother comes over. Bro: Aiya, what can you do to a small HDB flat? No need to discuss lah. Me: -.- So, I’m amazed with what I’ve been blind to all these years. All the inventions, all the thoughts put to designing items for the house has gone well beyond what I could imagine. Like remote controlled lightings (perfect for lazy people like me!), and…
View PostMy mom has finally agreed on supporting me in my decision to buy a house. What a great relief. Now, I can really tell agents that I can commit. I’ve found a place I am ready to commit to so YAY #1. I’ve found the right bank to loan from, so YAY #2 Now, it will be to see if the negotiation for the house comes through. Will the seller agree to my asking price? =/

View PostThis is my first house viewing after I have made the decision to eat grass in order to have enough money to buy a HDB flat. I love masionettes (aka double storey flats) but they are in the range of $500K and above. Way out of my budget. I love ground floor flats but they are rare. So I was really happy that Christopher found one for me to view. It is at Jalan Tentaram, Blk 16. Check out the…
View PostI’ve decided to share my house hunting journey in Singapore here! :) I’m looking for flats along the Green MRT line in Singapore, with a good balance between nearness to town, good amenities, and price of course. My maximum budget is $330,000 I’ve been to so MANY sites trying to gather information on what are the costs involved in buying a HDB flat in Singapore and I got so many half here half here… sigh..
