Happy days

Just a week ago, I brought my family, less Dad who is working, to Universal Studios Singapore ("USS"). I spend a bomb securing the 3 tickets but it was all worth it.

This trip is a delayed trip since June to reward my sister's hardwork. I told her that if she got top 10 in class, she will get a USS treat. And she really did!! She topped her whole class during mid year exams! Wows.. Come to think of it, this took me by surprise! I was a little skeptical about her getting good grades :P I'm sucha bad sister!

But nonetheless, her reward is given! We had the battlestar ride first and it was extremely frightening! Omgosh. But eventually, after all the rides, when we tried battlestar again, it felt like nothing. Hahas, first experience is always memorable..

Anyways, I borrow mr. Bambam's sister's digi cam and I lost the cloth bag that was protecting the camera!! :( Went to Sim Lim to buy another one for her but can't find the exact and got a hp pouch at $13 to replace instead. But it's still not the one. She says it's ok but I feel pretty bad about it :( I'm sorry!! >.< Over the weekend, I have splurge and got myself a dslr too! Love it to bits ;) Here's a shot of the fireworks to end my entry :) Tata

Step by step, to our own future

Whoa, this was supposed to be a post 5 months ago and I didn't managed to complete it.

This is to update what's with my life for the past few months. :)

26 October 2011 - BTO application

24 November 2011 - Annoucement of results which is really a very good number for us after numerous tries (4 times?). It's a double digit number less than 50 and can you believe it? There was like 3000+ applicants vying for 300+ flats! :) Lucky lucky!

27 December 2011 - We were the last at HDB selecting our flat!! :) But bambam and I went very very early (like 2pm) there. I took half day and was extremely excited. Anyways, we have selected our little hommie and look forward to a future together :)$2000 fly away~~

23 April 2011 - Signed and paid for our agreement to purchase the flat. Anyways, Singapore flats are on lease for 99 years, not really 'purchase'. Can you imagine that? Spending 330k++ on a flat that doesn't belong to you and it's only 92sqm. Initial appointment was 3 April 2011 but bambam was still in Taiwan for his army so yeah, postpone till 23 April 2011. :)

And the past few months have been exciting visiting the plot of land that is about to build our future :)

31 July 2011 - Finally, the fence is up! :)

And till now, all the machinary and piling has started. Excited to see the first level up :)

Anyways, I gotten my bonus from my company! Quite a ok amount that is close to my expectation :) Cool!

11 July was our 6th year together, can you imagine that? And we still look like young couple :P Hahahahas.

Ok, so just to end with a photo of us :)
