.what a headache!

All I want - at this point in time, is a damn good roof above my head!

well.... finding a house is easy - only when you have like tons of money.
but IF you're finding a place that is like..... heavily subsidised by our dear Govt.
It's so freaking difficult!

ONE major thing is - you got to be married! Eh... it kills the romance man.... I think majority of the ladies are married in this manner:

"Hey, i just saw a great unit. let's go apply for it!"
"You and me? Err.... okay"

Ta-daaaa! You have just agreed to get married. No need flowers, proposals, rings and whatever ambience.

It can happen in the car while he's driving, on the bed watching tv, buying groceries (if you guys are like stay-homies), or even when you guys are walking your dog!

Why?!

Anyway back to the troubles in getting a house of your own:

Firstly, it's the freaking Q - you seriously got to 'fight' with like thousands (and it's reallly THOUSANDS - see the 's'?) of people who wants to get their hands on those flats.

Secondly, procedures and more procedures. You got to check if you're eligible for the HDB loan, or if you're not getting HDB loan, finding pte bank loans is another problem.

Thirdly, they say you get grants... but that's like only for people with income less than 1.5k gross. C'mon.... will a family with a gross income of 1.5k even get a 4 rm or 5 rm flat? Sigh! And I was so happy thinking that we might be eligible for one, in the future!

Haiz..... now I regret why I haven't started saving at a young age. Else ... we could have considered the Peak at TPY, or even the nice Parc Lumiere at Simei.

If I'm not wrong, DBSS (Design Build and Sell Scheme) flats are built like condo units without the condo facilities. Which - I seriously do not mind.

And the prices are like crazy... when will it ever go down?! *agony*
700k for a unit at TPY - that's so freaking mad!

And I just saw the news - Parc Lumiere is priced around 400k - 500k. And that's not even an EC!

Hoping by the time I eyed something that I can afford - prices are much much reasonable!


Nothing too fancy (must be practical), with those huge windows up til the floor, a nice balcony, a huge kitchen (a definite MUST), a spacious service yard!

Oh and of course! most importantly - nice neighbours! I had enough living in a ghetto-like place!

*dreams.....*

.Obedience Course for Huey

At the rate it rains and stop with scorching hot sun, then rain again - everyone's getting the flu bug.

V and me both got it! Apparently, I had the ultimate running nose and cough coming up sooner than his! =(

Huey was so tired that he SNORED.
Omg, my dog snores! And the funny thing is, he snores the exact same way as V!

Hahaha~ I was telling him "like owner like dog".

My darling Huey went for obedience classes. Sunday was the second lesson - well it did him some good, he was more controllable than before.

Not saying that he was very naughty previously. We were proud of him!

But apparently Cockers are stubborn dogs - so it's gonna take a feat to teach him. Huey's trying his best, I guess. So is V - cos' he's the 'trainer'.

They did some obstacles, like jumping over the poles. There was this chihuahua that literally flew across the poles and got to the owner.

Huey had some difficulties la... firstly, he doesn't want to walk. Second lesson slightly better.

But we were like dragging him across the concrete floor. *So POOOR THING!*

And he managed to jump over those poles~ *PROUD*

But V was too nervous, he pulled our poor Huey and in that instance, Huey was hanging in mid air with the collar holding him and he came crashing towards the poles!

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry, Huey stopped jumping over already. He was traumatised!

Haizzz......

Oh well, we head over to V's place for the Sunday dinners as usual with Huey! Lucky - the husky, looks so scary. Like she was ready for the kill.

Don't think I will let Huey go near her anytime soon.*shivers*

Just last night, V and me took out a small rod (that was used for hanging stuff) and let Huey train in the room. And he jumped over and over and OVER the rod! I hope Sunday he will do the same....
