Yippee, finally managed to get our so call Love Nest yesterday. It was a rush and stressful day. Went viewing with Candice in the morning at Bukit Batok. Love the flat at 1st sight but as the owner is asking for 30k cov, we were a bit half hearted. Next, we went to Bukit Panjang. This flat as compared to the one at Bukit Batok was in a very much worse condition but the owner was asking for 35k cov! WTH.. the 2nd flat need a complete overhaul and renov cost should be quite substantial too. In addition, the location is not convenient. Have arranged with Candice to help us keep a lookout for other flats but in the meanwhile, we were quite tempted to get the 1st one we saw. We even planned to arrange to bring our parents down on Wednesday to view the flat and have arranged with Richard to meet us tonight to go thru our CPF and our financial strength. With all these arrangement in place, we have a more settled mind and headed to Orchard to watch New Moon.
Surprisingly, the movie is very much better than the book! I think its becos the book is very draggy and for the movie, they only show the main parts, thus it was overall quite an enjoyable movie to watch. Towards the last 10 mins of the movie, Candice called me saying that someone had made an offered for the Buki Batok flat, thus, asking if we wanna counter offer or not. Wah, that news was like a huge rock hitting on my head! At that moment, I totally lost concentration for the movie and was worried abt the flat… in the end after the movie, we quickly arrange to go pick Candice up and Law’s dad (need him to help us estimate how much the renovation would cost if we were to do the necessary areas) before heading back to Bukit Batok. Hee, in the end, we closed the deal with $32k COV.
What we like about the flat is that its very convenient. There are provision shops and coffee shop in the next blk and there is also a medical and dental clinic. Its within 5 mins walk to Bukit Batok MRT and the other side is the swimming pool. Its also convenient for me to take a bus home too. It’s a corner flat with recess area and 2 families (including us) on that level. So there would be a lot of privacy. Renov was quite properly done up and well maintained thus min renov is needed. J so for now, at least another big ticket off our list. From now onwards, we need to eat grass le..lol…so who wanna treat me lunch?!
