As quickly as the resale application was submitted , so it is with the confirmation of the first appointment date: 14-Jan , at 10am. With that is a BIG relief: we’re in. Our race is eligible to buy a flat in that block , and this is going to save us all trouble , if in case we are not eligible , and have to do all the flat-search all over again.   We’re just waiting for the letter to have the first appointment schedule in B&W.   And when it comes , we’d sure be confirming with the owners of their plan to relinquish their house to us , even before completion date , even before first appointment date. Estimated discussion is by next week , the last week of Nov , and it is also our last week to find out whether we are renewing our tenancy in the JTC flat , or not. If all things proceed as expected , we’d terminate our contract on the current flat we are renting , and we are spared from the renewal fee...

We are now in the final phase of our 2 nd attempt on flat resale activities. First attempt having failed due to the issue of ethnic integration imbalance, we now have found a new flat, decided to buy it, and have done checks, and having found that the restriction doesn’t apply at the new block, went on to pay the downpayment of only $300, pending the document coming from the housing board indicating that our first attempt is cancelled due to the race ratio issue. The next day after, the letter arrived, and I got back the desposit and the valuation report fee from the owner of the first flat; unfortunately, the administration fee is already paid off to the housing board, so there is no way that it can be refunded – the service has already been rendered, whether application is successful or not.   We paid ahead of time the remaining option exercise fee, totalling $5000, and we have also given the administration fee (2 nd time) and...

I was in a meeting yesterday , and it was to understand certain issues that has been creeping up over the past couple of weeks. Some folks are coming in late. Some folks that came early the week before are coming in late the following week. Some folks are continuously coming in late for practice. Some folks who can’t make it to the practice don’t even bother to look for replacement – a task that should not be borne by the scheduler already. Songs are not learned. Even if they are , they are not committed to memory. These , and a lot more!   I was keeping quite for the most part of the meeting , in that I was thinking to myself , “these are not new problems…” These have been the same issues over the years.   With these classic examples , what I read in the book “Read Right” by Dr Toddler proved true , once again: 1.        There is a big difference between ...

My wife and I are discussing what we should do , to circumvent our current situation: 1.        The rental contract for the current flat is ending 31-Dec. 2.       The advice to renew/terminate rental contract can’t be later than 1-Dec. 3.       We are allowed to get the keys and occupy the resale flat starting 16-Dec. 4.       The valuation report will not be out until 2nd week of Nov , at most. 5.        The re-application of bank loan for the new flat can’t be done without the valuation report. 6.       The bank loan re-application may be fast , but it will still take some time , perhaps 2-3 days. 7.       The resale application can only be submitted by 17-Nov , to mark the year 5 of the building. 8.       First appointment lette...
