It has come to this.
Me blogging about how much I miss my nieces.
Time spent with her was just too short yesterday.
Oh well.
.........................................
Obviously I did not mention that 15 days ago, I signed a contract indicating my interest in purchasing an apartment. In 6 days' time, if nothing goes wrong, I will sign another contract confirming the house is mine. The cost of the house is around $350K and I am using my CPF + HDB loan for it.
It will be my own property...probably the only one I'll ever have this lifetime. Though the initial plan is to move in with my parents, this has to be put on hold. Our current house, due to the racial quota system, is still unsold after being in the market for a year. So, the parents decide to stay put for around two more years and after that, they will join me. Why two more years? Because the father got a two-year career extension as a government officer and in his words, he "wants the house money when he retires" so that he doesn't have to worry.
Well. His house, his rules.
So, yeah. My own house and I'll be on my own for 2 years, but then, it is not that I mind having my parents stay with me also. I am rarely at home anyway. Hah.
But...ah...it's going to get interesting.
And scary.
Bills bills bills.
