Signing of OTP, for real!

Signing of OTP, for real!

last nite we went viewing. started viewing at 8 pm. met agent n his PA. then went to 787D, chinese house. next to ju's block. got too much fixed furniture. price is 275k. after that, went to 770. also chinese house, bankrupt case. the house like tongkang pecah. walls stained black, toilet door broken, ceiling peeling....price 255k.

after that, we visited two more houses. both malay house, both price is 265k. first house second floor. ok but i don't like the diamond shape...opit seems to like it...then we viewed the second house. block 538, next to vista point. both of us fell in love with it. 7th floor, views from 3 bedrooms and balcony not blocked. facing the sports school....windy also.





after that, we went to vista point and discussed about the houses. actually, my opit wants to think some more and tell our agent our decision the next day....although our decision is kinda made up already....but then considering, the good location and the price, we decided delaying would result in losing it...so, we told then and signed the OTP that nite itself!!!

wonder what the mama and his agent would say if they found out.....tomorrow, both me and my opit gonna make a collage of our dream house so that we can show it to the renovation contractors during quotations....

signing of OTP....NOT!

signing of OTP....NOT!

last nite, we were supposed to meet the mama and sign the OTP. but then after negotiations, the mama told us he wanted 275k while we had agreed on 270k...then to make matters worse, he wanted 3k upfront! we were really prepared to sign the OTP but the moment we entered, the other agent told us the mama's conditions....we were taken aback.

we had several discussions outside the house and me being soft, was already taken in by the pujuks...my baby was different. he was adamant and was really half-hearted about buying the house but the problem is, he could not voice out his feelings...so i did the talking.

just when we were about to withdraw money for the deposit, we had another discussion in the agent's car...so, although the mama had already signed the contract, we decided not to go through with it...the owner's agent were not too happy about it but then, it's our money...

so, tonite, we are going to view other houses and see how it goes from there....hopefully we can get a suitable place. anyway, we decided that from now on, my baby will set me straight, be the anchor and i will the spokesperson...

can't wait to start the viewing tonite....wonder how it's gonna be like....so exciting!!

house financing

house financing

we met our agents a few days back. they said that we will go ahead with the OTP after raya but at that time, halik still needs to discuss with this owner about it about the selling price of the house...

then a few days after that, we met again and this time, they had already worked out our monthly payment as well to see if we can manage it...well, from the looks of it, we can manage it for at least the first 5 years insya'allah...

so, now, the only thing that needs to be done about the house would be the signing of the OTP after raya and i must remember to take pictures of the house as well...we really need to get several quotations from renovation contractors so that at least we know what can be done with our budget....

decided that after the OTP, we will get our agents to pass us the house floor plan and together with our pictures, we will go recce several contractors to get quotations....

the day is getting nearer and the headache is increasing by the day but then again, at the end of it all, we would be looking back and marvelling at how we actually managed to overcome it all.....looking forward to that....

sofa dilemma

sofa dilemma

continuing about the sofa issue...i really do not know what to say if my mum really decides to give me the sofa...i would have to decline but be very tactful. when it comes to these things, old people are very sensitive...

anyway i would suggest, if mum really wants to throw the sofa, she can still keep the cushions and just placed it against the walls. just like the houses in Iran, but with carpet in the middle of course. that would be real nice and cosy as well as spacious. great idea huh! maybe can just casually bring it up some day...

now, really in desperate need to lose weight. i feel as if my double chin is getting bigger by the day...or maybe it really is true!!! The HORROR!! i have been walking to and from school most of the days except those rainy days. i walked to my MRT, then reach my school's MRT and then walk some more. next step would be to start my weight training. hopefully, after ramadan, i would be able to swim so as to burn more fats. i think i will start my weight training this coming thursday....updates later!!

breaking fast at jurong

breaking fast at jurong

yesterday, i break fast at opit's place. had lontong and roti kirai...after that, we just sit down and talk. remy really can't wait for opit to be gone...he is already planning to decorate the whole room. change everything...his mum just said never mind, he got a lot of money, sarcastically!! hehehe...

the other day, my sis told me that my mum is thinking of giving me the sofa...alamak, i hope she will not. i really do not know what to say...

oops, have to prepare for buka now...updates later...
