Today will be exactly a month away from our HDB appointment for Bukit Panjang BTO. Yes, that Bukit Panjang house that will take forever to be built. 😔 Oh, D and I actually applied for another BTO during August. We applied for the one at Sembawang and guess what? We got a queue number for this one too. I was just merely trying my luck since I know I have increased chances since we have been failing to get a house.
I have no preferences when it comes to getting my own house, okay our house. I mean yes, location is one thing but definitely not way too far from the West, from our parents. For example like all the way to the East in Bedok or South all the way to Punggol. No no. And I thought North side in Sembawang would be a good location since Adik will be in Admiralty next year and we will be somewhat near to each other and to Choa Chu Kang or Bukit Panjang (our parents place) requires only one straight MRT down.
But considering the accessibility of Sembawang to CCK/Bukit Panjang like to me it's a bit leceh compared from Bukit Panjang to CCK/Bukit Panjang itself. It is much nearer because there are more than one public transport heading back to our parents' places. In fact, I think I'm having half-hearted about the flat in Sembawang because I'm not so used to North sides. I rarely even stepped foot there and always feel so much alienated when I'm there. Awkward. The only time I was ever in the North area was because my Polytechnic school is there. And I find from Bukit Panjang or CCK you have interchange that can lead you to many many areas in Singapore (which we will rarely go) even to the East. Unlike Sembawang, D was telling me, what happens if there is no other necessity around, like your food places, shopping centres etc etc etc which is so far from our future house, compared to Bukit Panjang, we have almost everything here nearby. Hmmm...Besides I don't like changes as well, so Sembawang may not be a good idea.
But hmmm....
I know chances are quite high if D and I go for the house in Sembawang. The leverage of getting a house there is that most of the houses there comes with a balcony. I know me and my forever balcony. Hahaha! I don't even have to bookmark the houses unlike the one at Bukit Panjang which only have a few units that has balcony. In fact, our queue number for Sembawang was 265/304 and for Bukit Panjang was 523/525. I KNOW RIGHT! Due to our queue number that is so far for Bukit Panjang BTO, all the balcony units has been taken. Another advantages for the BTO in Sembawang is that, it will be completed in 2019 and the one in Bukit Panjang will be in 2022. 3 years apart! Estimation time after marriage will be 2-3 years VS 5-6 years of getting our own house. OMIGOSH! Can you imagine how old will I be then before I get my OWN house in Bukit Panjang?! Like takkan selama-lamanya I want to menumpang rumah orang and not having our own house/privacy right? Haiz. I mean even if it's my parents' place or
It is better for a married couple to stay further away from their family and see each other once in while and maintain that good bond among each other's family. Then a family who stays together who look like they have good bond among each other, pretend like they have good bond among each other but in real life, they are always fighting, disagreeing or having conflict with one another.
I am not even lying about this, I have seen how things were at home before. And I've seen how many other married couples feedback to me too about this. He is your husband, you will love him for whatever ways he is, but he may not be able to stand certain ways of your parents/siblings, and so are your parents towards your husband. And she is your wife, you will accept her for who/what she is, but she may not able to stand your parents/siblings ways and so does your parents not being able to stand her ways. We can swallow bit by bit, once in a while over little trivial matters but if it's years, we're not angel or malaikat that can have patience as high as mountains.
I am myself doomed and dilemma when it comes to this. I can't decide which house to choose even after I weigh all the pros and cons. Besides, the ethnic quota is also another factor that both of us have to consider. We may get a queue number but the ethnic quota could kick us out from getting to book a flat. So, I leave this matter to Allah SWT to decide for us. Everyday single day I pray and keep our house in my prayers. If He think Bukit Panjang house is right and good/baik for the both us, then we will get to book our flat in a month's time, else, if it's not good/baik for us, then the ethnic quota can do its job of kicking us out. Furthermore, our appointment for Sembawang is only next year. So, even if we don't get the ones in Bukit Panjang, we will have another chance for Sembawang next year.
I know Allah SWT will never abandon me and is never deaf to my prayers. He knows best and I'll leave the rest for Him to decide. Amin. Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin.
