Big Step... *excited and anxious*

The day has come~ I took leave from work to go down to HDB office with my N.

Took our queue number and anxiously waited our turn.

Me: So this is it.... our own house (wow, so surreal)
N: Ready? Are you able to get along with me?
Me: ... (if i can't i wouldn't have "survived" all these years right? i thought to myself)
N: Really... this means commitment
Me: ... (i don't think i spent the last 7 years of my life with you for NON-commitment... ^^;)

Our queue number flashed on the board... deep breath and in we went.

The lady at the computer told us the units left for BLK 79C (the one with 2 units facing City/CBD/Suntec view) were 12th floor and below. What bad news! We already agreed beforehand that we do not want any units below 15th storey for that block as it is facing Toa Payoh library, potentially happening place for GeTai and pasar malams and all sorts of noise-related activities.

Me: How about BLK 79A?
HDB Lady: All units available.
N: Wow!
Me: Ok, let's take #27-XX! (27th of a particular month is our anniversary date :P)
N: Erm, the flat behind this block is 25 stories high, so at 27th floor, we'll be staring at their water tank.
Me: But, but... how often can you get a unit number with your anniversary date?
N: View blocked = bad.
Me: *sulk*
HDB Lady: 40th floor? Top floor, you know?
Me: Hmm... i remember pple saying water pressure at top floor is not as good?
N: Then choose another floor.
Me: #XX-XX then. (since i like that number)
N: Ok, take that.
Me: At least we have quiet scenery, windows will be away from road.
N: Yes.

Paid booking fee of $2,000, and it still has not quite sunken in, that we finally put our names on the dotted line and got ourself our very own flat.

Flat estimated to be ready in 2009~

We'll have to work hard and save up in the meantime!

And watch our flat build up to 40th storey as days go by.
