Home to be

After the confirmation of the banquet venue and the choosing of the photo studio package, we were left with 2 more big payments to settle. The first would be to get a pair of wedding bands. And the second would dwarf the rest in comparison, is a home of our own.

The search of our nest aint an easy task. There is the location, the housing size and most of all the pricing. The current value of properties now is madness. Public homes are priced to the condos cost that was just 10 years back.

Condo pricing have hit new heights and from the govt regulation of land, its unlikely to fall any time soon. Public housing prices are unregulated, leaving the owners the control of selling at a premium for the desperate.

Sad to say, I am in the sandwich group. Too "rich" to be able to get a first hand public housing and not rich enough to afford a private housing. Yet one has to start hunting around and look at all options.

After weeks of searching the web and visiting some of them, I found a place that I like. The rooms are spacious enough. The location is near my folks. The designs look great as well. The only drawback is that it wont be ready till early 2012. As there is a possibility that this likable unit would be snapped up soon, a booking fee is made without much ado.



PS. I have gotten a really high floor. And there is a sky garden above me. Would be cool to BBQ there.
