We got the 5 room flat at AMK!

So many things happened over the weekend that I'm literally still in stunned mode.

Well, on friday prayer meeting was really good, i was quite surprised to find that after a long abscene from the cell group, i could still flow with them n fellowship with them quite easily n naturally. went for supper with william after cg, pratahouse was too crowded so we just had some bak chor mee at thomson road.

sat i was supposed to go back to office, but i was so exhausted i slept until noon, n then went for lunch with joan n family, before going to AMK central park to choose the unit. after a long deliberation on housing loan, which floor n which unit is better, etc, we decided on unit #27-227, 5 room flat at 117 square meters. it cost a total of $657,000 (excluding stamp fees n legal costs) and my parents had to fork out 5% payment on the day itself, and 15% payment in 9 weeks time. that totals to about $117,000!! no wonder a lot of units were left even though my queue number was quite high. i mean how many singaporeans can cough up 100k in 2 months? what, borrow from a bank or loan shark? its ridiculous, honestly..

but anyway i'm still happy that we got that apartment. not super duper overjoyed kind of happy, but just satisfied that i've made a decision to buy a property for my future. joan was super stressed n even up to last night, she was still so stressed up n worried about how we are going to finance the loan. to be completely honest, i was a litte apprehensive too. 600k is a lot of money! but then again, i shouldn't be afraid of working a little harder, saving alittle more, sacrificing a bit more for my future house. to be completed by dec 2011, so i suppose i can get married around oct or nov 2011, n that gives me about 3 years more.. thats actually too far away. haha!!

i actually want to get married in late 2010. i know 20 Oct 2010 seems like such a nice number right? 20-10-2010! but then again, it'll prob cost even higher due to the "auspicious" numbers! maybe will got for early 2011 lah. am i being very singaporean n overly pragmatic in basing my marriage on the price of the wedding n the flat?? hahaha..

don't worry i will still plan my great wedding proposal to joan. it will definitely be good, but not any thing soon while she's studying! it'll be too weird taking a study break to get married!

oh yeah n after getting the flat, we rushed for service, then went for KTV with the strikeforce pple. didn't really sing much, my voice wasn't too good that day, but still had a lot of fun with the SF pple! i think about 14-15 pple turned up in total. oh we celebrated rallen's birthday as well too. wah, heidi can sing quite well! she's really cute n pretty, she will definitely be a babe when she grows up! hahaha... then again on sunday i was supposed to go work, i overslept until about noon again!!

dunno why i'm so exhausted these days. but went to work for a couple of hours before going river walk for the practice cum photoshoot for the straits times. actually wasn't much of a practice last night, for me at least. more of a fellowship session n logistics session, moving back the udms to the warehouse n eating junkfood for dinner. but at the end of the night we had astons, n though the service was pretty bad, the food was excellent.

before we know it, monday strikes again. hahaha.. what a boring day. i mean i'm busy but i'm also bored, n i'm hell of a sleepy as well. i think i need to take bus back n sleep on the 76 home. tml got 2 meetings back to back n i still haven't prepared the stuff for the meetings yet. sighz...

corporate work is really quite boring. i'm falling asleep in front of my computer everyday after lunch. damn sian!

last nite after practicing in my bedroom for a while i was praying to God that i wun screw up tml and i felt him really telling me that fear is neva from him and only self induced from myself.. its really a choice to have fear or courage... i thought about the well deserved scolding i got from from Mr.I about how i show know my timing after so long and i think about it n its true i do know my beats and do play properly its jus that when suddenly i have to play alone i tense up and fear comes in and my confidence drops and mistakes come in... its an area i just have to learn to overcome ... yup... be bold and do not fear
