first and for most,

Happie New Year 2008..

haha, i know, i am a little late..as usual...

just suddenly had this mood to blog since every blog i've read is talking about the new year ahead..

spent my last moment of 2007 and first moment of 2008 with none other than mr cheng..haha, what you expect, i am gonna marry him soon le wat..so he's very important to me..

we spent the moments before midnight applying online for the build-to-order flats in Yishun Jade Spring...

good news is we are among the 700plus applying for it online..

bad news is, no matter how fast or slow you are...the deadline is 16 Jan 08..and the balloting is kind of decided by the HDB computers which would automatically compute out your ballot number..

but the worst news is, there are near to 900 applications as of now but there are only 336 units!

haiz..no wonder every acticle in the newspaper seems to be saying that resale flats are reaching a new high in the market..

this i really must agree, with my heart and soul and brains..it's kind of a sellers' market now, buyers just have to go along with the flow..and sometimes, the cash-over-valuation is just so crazily overpriced..some going 30 to 40k above valuation..

and here i am praying everyday that the prices would fall..not that i am hard up for a resale flat..but it just lives me and mr cheng with more options..

haha, ask me about HDB flats now and i can give you a clear picture of buying flats now..

well...new flats are good, considering that they are 'new'..who wouldn't want a new flat..especially since it comes with a Shelter..haha, that's kind of a big Pro..

but then, apart from the good stuff, new flats do have some considerable cons too..like how they are of a smaller sqm and a little of awkward shape they might be..also, newly built flats are now very much built in places like SengKang and Punggol..where you'll have to take the NEL and LRT..both without drivers somemore..

scary..i am a kind of person who would feel safe with a train driver..it's like, no matter what happens, you know the uncle is there..you know, someone who knows about trains..

and resale flats do have their pros and cons too..

good thing about resale is that it was built in the past where we seemed to have more land to spare, thus they are bigger in structure and more squarish, which is something i like.

i love houses with a square kind of shape, that's how a home should be like. you know, clearly defined areas and stuff..good for putting furniture and Fengshui..

but then, you'll never know of the real history of the house. so it's kind of a gamble..the previous owner might be alright..but how about the one before?

oh well, shall not dwell too much into it..

i went house-viewing on Monday with mr cheng..it wasn't exactly a house-viewing kind of thing..just that we went to view phylicia's and my future sis-in-law's house..

one's a resale and one's a build-to-order one..

it was kind of good cause' i could see for myself the difference..but then, i am still half here half there with what kind of a house we want..

but then, mr cheng and i have since came to a decision..hee..to apply for the HDB one first.. :D

since it's in Yishun and kind of a near-to-matured estate..

we even went to see the plot of land on monday too..haha..quite nice..but whether i am fated to get it a not is still another question mark..

alright, enough of houses..i think i am boring you out with all those stuff..this is supposed to be a New Year post..haha

hmmm..

i hereby wish all of my family members, friends, colleagues, ex-colleagues, readers a very Happie Happie New Year 2008..

May this new year be better in health, work and life than the previous year..

May all resolutions be fufilled and may everyone stay happy and young and may all things be smooth-sailing~

hee...i have only a few resolutions this year..i wonder if i am able to do it..i hope i do..cause' mr cheng gave me a Fitness First Calender that is supposed to aid me in my goals-building..haha

first one : to be a healthy person..to take my EPO on time daily and to take up Yoga!!

second one: to have a rising and successful career ($$$)

third one: to be prettier, slimmer and richer ...haha, with the assistance of Uzap, maybe?

well..these are my personal goals..but overall, i just hope for myself and everyone around me to be happy..

sorry if i had made you angry or pissed or irriatated...it might be on purpose..it might be unintentional..haha, whichever way, thousands of apologises..

oh ya, i have this one last one too..but i can't tell..cause' i think it's best kept between me and God..haha..

byeee...

oh yah..one for mr cheng...
"baby, thanks for the memories for the past year 2007..it had in fact been a very meaningful year for us both..we've been through quite a far bit and experienced a lot of stuff together..especially during our overseas trip and the period where you were in Alpha and I was in Bravo..completely different schedules but still, we managed to make things work..

thanks for giving in to me all the time and loving me like a little princess..i feel very blessed to be with you..you had never once scolded me..in fact, you compromised a lot..

i really appreciated what you had done...from the little drawings of FF, to the pretty flowers to the choc fondue set you bought, to the alarm clock, to the Uzap...and also the proposal at Sentosa..thanks for everything you have planned for me..

and of course, it ain't all about material stuff..

it's also about the moments we laughed and knocked off in bed together..the times where we talked till we slept..the times where at Kembangan, the times we had BBQ..just the two of us..

we have achieved a lot this year as a couple..some people are even saying that we are so fast in planning to be married..

but we both know, it's more than that. well, people can always say what they want. frankly speaking, i don't care what others think cause' it's our future.

i am very looking forward to our year 2008 together where we will create more beautiful memories to keep in our hearts.

and i am also looking forward to our future together, our home and our agreement of 3..

i love you, baby"
