Wednesday, August 30, 2006 Few days back Michael & I went online to apply for the balloting exercise for a 5-room flat in Bukit Merah. I doubt we would stand a chance, given that only 58 units are available with more than 200 applicants. Anyway, it only cost us $10 to apply online, so we "tikam tikam" and just try our luck.I do not know when we would be getting married though we have talked about settling down in the not too long future. Whatever it is, I sure hope I will be making the right choice.....don't want to repeat the mistake again of applying for a flat (in my early 20's) under the Fiance/Fiancee scheme and had to pay a bl**dy $5,000 as forfeit cuz things didn't work out between me and my then boyfriend. But now that there's no Fiance/Fiancee scheme so it's not that bad. I really really need to get a higher paying job if I want to settle down soon. Felt totally lousy about myself, lamenting why I didn't save up the last few years. Could have at least saved up some good 5-figure sum especially during my "One Live, Life It" days! But the 'good' part of me is encouraging me to look forward rather than dwell in the past & sink into depression of regrets. So my goal now is to save & shrimp and to actively seek new job opportunities. |
