Despite feeling sick and wobbly, I still mananged to pull myself out of my bed and at around 8.10am, we are both ready to set off to HDB. The appointment time was at 9am.
We reached the HDB Hub, Toa Payoh at around 8.35am. We even managed to go to Macdonald for a sumptuous & delicious breakfast before we meet the sellers at Level 2 of HDB Hub. The excitement flowing in both of us is simply indescribable.
When our number showed on the screen, prompting us to proceed to the HDB officer's office, my heart almost skipped a beat. The whole thing of this house becoming ours really seemed like a dream to us. However, after signing the papers, we both knew that this is definitely OURS... The house tt belonged to the BOTH of US... Our new USsenal's Homeground. Thou the previous house at Stirling belongs to us too, but missing the procedures of been able to view and choose our own place, makes the whole event seemed incomplete.
The whole process of signing the papers only took less than 15mins. The sellers seemed like a real nice pair of couple; in their 50s and definitely have a very pleasant deposition. We are thankful that they took such great care of their house, which actually benefited us indirectly.
After settling the papers, Kalvin brought us to Vision LLC to settle our relevant legal fees' issues. Vision LLC was just a stone throw away from HUB Hub. Hence, despite me, being sick, my wobbly legs definitely had no problem walking over to the law firm. The visit to the law firm was like a breeze. Everything went on smoothly.
We proceeded to buy the floorplan for our new Homeground. even thou it was juzt a piece of paper. However, it represented the whole idea of being able to own and design a space of our own; which makes the whole process more FUN & MEANINGFUL. Holding the floorplan on my hands, I realised this is really MINE. Throughout the whole process, TJ was putting on a satisfied smile. I knew tt he is juzt as happy as I was.
As attached is the floorplan of USsenal's NEW Homeground :
We have both discussed and decided that the Master bedroom be given to my in-laws(TJ's parents) who will be staying with us. We both agreed tt old people definitely need the bathroom(unlike my old Stirling house, there is no bathroom in the Master Bedroom thou).
As for both of us, we will be taking Bedroom 2; where the walk-in closet is. I m so thrilled of the idea of having my own mini Walk-in closet. As for Bedroom 3, it should be our study room. With the floorplan on hand,the next step will be to decide and plan how are we going to place our furnitures.
Loads of issues seemed to be awaiting us ahead, but we are sure that God will leads us as accordance to His way. We hereby entrust all our issues and burdens to Him. May Him leads us thru everything; bestowing loads of Grace and Joy to this whole event. Amen!
2nd of December 2011 will be the day; The OFFICIAL 'Opening' of USsenal's NEW Homeground. Woohoo! (''.) Our 2nd & final appointment. Really cannot wait for tt day to come thou.
Cheers ^^
