Got HDB letter

Got HDB letter
ok, we have received the HDB letter. it stated that the TENTATIVE date for us to get the keys is on the 24th of Mar. then today, i checked the HDB website, and found out that the ACTUAL date for getting the keys is to be on the 24th of Mar, 3.30pm. surprise, surprise!!! NOT! well, i guess that is good enough that we are actually getting the house and the grant way before our wedding.
now, we are surveying prices of furniture. we are thinking of buying the furniture at Picket and Rail, Wihardja or some where in JB. so, we are still comparing the prices and the quality of the items.
as for the house reno, we are a fickle couple. we keep changing our minds on what to put in and what to take out. dunno whether to keep the console and bamboo or to just take it out....pening kepala!
once we meet sonia, we might just have to ask her to expediate the reno process. hopefully we can complete reno by the last week of april so that we can at least get the house ready by the first week of may. after that, we need to concentrate on the marriage stuff.
really need to start getting enough sleep. my eyebags is getting bigger and bigger.....

HDB first appointment

HDB first appointment
on the 28th of jan, we went to HDB for our 1st appointment. i took UPA leave for that day. we met abg malek at mac at toa payoh at around 9 plus. talked for a while and then we went in about 10am. we waited for the makcik and her agent. then we took a number and waited on the 2nd floor. then we were called to a counter and signed some documents. after that we waited some more to meet up with a HDB officer.
when it was our turn, we went in and the officer did not ask us much. he just took our details and when we wanted to have the 2nd appointment earlier, his face turns like an asshole. abg malek did not help much either. he did not say much. only the other agent tried to talk to the guy. our agent accepts it just like that...no bargaining or anything....so fed-up.
after that, we went to see the lawyer. the lawyer not in so the secretary handled our case. she took our particulars and papers and we signed more documents. we are asking the lawyer to try to make the 2nd appointment a bit earlier but do not know how it turns out.
really excited to see how everything turns out....can't wait for the letter to arrive.
