Geeee... Good news!

Thanks, if you readng this page, you are a faithful follower of my seldom-updated boring blog... anywae, I got a resale unit at Sengkang. 1st appointment will be 2 July. 8 weeks later, 2nd appointment and I think we will move in in early Sept 08. No doubt its pricy but the location, low cash upfront, 100% move in - no need to renovate, <10 mins walk to Sengkang NEL, 12 mins train travel to my new worksite, direct bus to Karen's workplace in under half hour... made us secured the unit in less than 24 hours after viewing... Considering the unit above mine was transacted recently 28,000 cash, I think we got a good deal.

p:s you will be invited to my house warming. I need a 37" LCD TV or bring cash. hahaha!
