Woke up feeling ok but tired coz haven't been waking up so early for the past 4 days. As expected, office was damn quiet although some users were already back to work. Me and colleague practically stayed at our place the whole day. As for me, almost spent the whole day having conference with Web coz both of us were quite free.
We talked about our plans and now need to get started by going to this shifu "You Long Zi" who is supposed to be quite famous to count dates for our ROM (or customary). Need to make appointment for consulation tomorrow as they are still closed for today. After that, we can then proceed to get a flat, probably at Sengkang and so on. Was chatting with Susan, who just got her keys to a Sengkang flat recently. We had wanted to wait for the next batch of WIS (Walk-in Selection) for new flats to try get a 4 or 5 room one but Susan mentioned that very difficult to get as those in front of the queue would have reserved all the good units (in terms of locations and floors). She and hubby had no choice but to get an Exec unit which is slightly more ex. We might just go along and get one of those areas where we went earlier to look at the showroom last month.
Really not easy to get married these days. Flats are not easy to get, quite expensive especially if we end up getting exec units. The government is not making our lives easy even though they encourage us to have more kids. How to get married if cannot get a flat, and how to survive if they are so expensive? Where do we find extra cash after investing in a home with renovations burden to have kids? Then on top of it all, they had to increase GST where some families are hardly surviving. Even if people have kids, education (kids and parents included) in Singapore is so damn stressed. 2-3 year s old kids have to go playgroup then nursery, followed by kindergarten at 4-5 years old. When I saw an assessment book for K1 at Popular the other day, I almost fainted. Those teachings were taught in Pri 1 or 2 last time in our era! How to survive I ask you...
Din want to have kids at 1st after thinking all these factors (environment and age) but on the other hand, life without kids will be damn boring for a married couple, especially into old age. Once married, life would be so different as we need to take up different responsibilities, challenge and committments. I would definitely miss my carefree days of going shopping, tour or even KTV with sis. Time with friends will also be limited as there will be endless household chores to do. Sis even wrote me a letter yesterday to say how much she will miss me in future, which makes me feel more bu she de and sad. I guess this is part of life as we need move on to different stage of our lives as we grow older, just in a matter of time. But I am glad that friends ard me are very supportive and offered help if necessary on any house or marriage matters. Thanks all!
Will try to make an effort to spend more time with my sis and hopefully can bring her for a tour this year b4 I get married. We had plans to visit Hong Kong again, plus Taiwan and maybe Bangkok this year so hopefully can fulfill. Have to also control my spending from now on coz gonna save up for new house stuff (renovation, furniture, electrical applicances and utility bills etc.) slowly.
