A bachelorette pad to call my own!!

Yes, I finally have a bachelorette pad to call my own!!! It may be small but its mine!!

I balloted for a 2 Room flat in Marsiling. People have been telling me not to put my hope on the application as majority people who applied will not get it on their 1st try. I was dismayed. Well, BTO = Build To Order = needs time for application, processing of application and building of the estate = unit only ready in 3-5 yrs time. As my estate is as high as 32 level, thus it takes a longer time to be ready. And I am in my mid thirties. By the time the flat is ready for collection, I will be in my late thirties or early forties.

Anyway, to cut short the story, i balloted, was told that chances are not high, finally got a Q but out of the number of offered unit (355/289), prayed hard that I can select a unit and finally on my appointment date, I managed to select a unit. Although small (38 sqm vs the bigger 2 Room-47 sqm) but I am satisfied. I finally have a bachelorette pad to call my own!!! And best of all, it is on the highest level of my block (level 29) and overlook the Straits of Johor  (sea view!!).

I am so excited. I just cant wait for the flat to by ready in 4-5 years time. My only concern now is dough for renovation. I guess i just have to discipline myself and be frugal. :) which i am absolutely willing to do so. Imagine, another 4-5 yrs time, I will have my own bachelorette pad and pets (1 cat & 1 dog or 2 cats) to keep.

On the side note, my dad is not so enthu for me. He thinks it too small to stay in. Well, I am staying alone. I can make do with the small size plus the view compensate for the size! :)

When time permits, I will be posting lots of updates for my bachelorette pad! *Excited!!!!*

XOXO

Edited: I realised i did blog about my application for a 2 room unit in my earlier blog. :)
