Won again!

It was again another rainy day. Just heard from the radio that it will rain in some areas and within 30 mins, while I was preparing to go out, thunderstorm came. Had to wait till the rain stopped, then finally took bus 59 to change to bus 159 to Sengkang. Web boarded near his bus stop and it only took us anbother 3-4 bus stops before we reached our destination.

We had gone to view 2 showflats in Sengkang East Road area. Went to this block 1st, which was quite far in and just opposite a school. The showflat was quite cramp compared to viewing from the online showflat pictures. Dun like the place at all as its just too near a school (can you imagine the noise daily and on Sats). Walked to the other showflat opposite where we alighted and it was indeed better. The living room is much bigger and probably the design made it looked nicer too.

Walked to Compass Point just 8-10 minutes away, and its where the Sengkang Bus interchange and mrt stn is. The place was surprising quite big and has lots of varieties of shops. We had our early dinner at Kopitiam as I was feeling quite hungry after all the walking around. It was drizzling when we were walking there and after that, it was like a thunderstorm again as we left after a lion dance show to take mrt down to town. Barely walked around PS as we left for Singapore Pools to check out the odds for the Liverpool match tonite. In the end, we bought 2-0 for Liverpool's match vs Chelsea and TOTO, hopefully can strike!

The Palong Bar at Hotel Rendezvous was surprising quite crowded today as we couldn't get our usual seats near the TV. The place was like a marketplace even before the match started. We had bought 2-0 with winning odds of payout $140 (including the $10 we invested). Surprisingly Liverpool scored 2 goals by the 18th minute (4th minute by Kuyt and 18th minute by Pennant) and we really stressed until the match ended 2-0! Its another win ($65 each) for us since the last one we bought on 2nd Jan (won $50 each). Really excited man!

Anyway more or less decided that we wun rush to get this range of Exec flat as its quite expensive. Will probably wait for new flats release and meanwhile look out for resale flats in more ideal locations. Really not easy finding a flat coz of financial committment too. We do not want to be tied down too much by housing loan as jobs are so insecured these days. Just hope can find something which we are able to pay off in full (or least abit more) using our CPF savings.
