Housing woes...

The result of the balloting exercise wasn’t towards our favour. Our lucky number... 434. That is out of a total of 254 available units. Do the sums yourself, you don't need to be a math whiz to calculate how slim the chances are. Well looking in the bright side, at least we got a queue no. (I am thought that positive thinking is the way to go.. "Always look on the bright side of life.." or so the song goes..). We are still pinning on the last bit of hope, hopefully there will still be units left for us, even the scraps will do. Beggars can't be choosers right..

If lady luck does not shine on us, then we gotta start house hunting. Man, I really dread the idea of meeting up with a housing agent go shopping for a re-sale HDB flat. Although I've never had to deal with one before, I can't help be wary of them. You know housing agents are not exactly my idea of an altruistic profession, whereby they are sworn upon the oath to help every house seller and buyers to the fullest of their abilities, to strike the best deal in interest of the two parties. I don't know if my doing any justice to them as my statements is skewed against their favour, but I can't help but be wary of their sales antics. As I type my thoughts, I can't help but paint a picture of a motor mouthed, smooth talking trying to hustle us into what he calls the best deal in town, for a limited time only... Haha... I really should stop this; this is just my bias thought. Haha.. As I've said, I never had the 'luxury' of dealing personally with a housing agent. Maybe it will not be as bad as I thought.. Well "Always look on the bright side of life..."
