Dream yesterday, reality today

I dreamt last night that both myself and my uncle each bought a condo unit.

Today my dad first went down to the condo, Urban Vista to view the showflats. He called when he was there asking whether i want to go down and see the units as well. I was reluctant as i was clearing my emails before my long leave starts.

After dinner, my mum again asked if i wanna go down to the showflats. I was again lazy but since my two nieces are going as well and i need to pick up the US GPS maps from Foong May, i thought just go down on the way to take a look.

Never in my mind did i know it was the first step towards a big decision in my life. All these people helped me in this major step forward. It was truly a quick decision, i hope it wasn't an impulse one. I do like the location at Tanah Merah, i liked the finishes and it was a relatively high floor facing the two pools.

My mum even had to call my auntie at 10pm to bring down her cheque for the downpayment of SGD 15,000 as my dad will need some time to transfer the money to his current account.

And the best part is the 15% additional payment upon signing of S&P is almost the exact amount i had in my CPF to be utilised for this purpose. You see how everything fits together?

In any case, after the purchase and signing off pages and pages of terms, i suddenly felt like i had an objective in life. There is fear definitely of coping with the monthly installment but the proud feeling of being a house owner is really indescripable.

Let's put myself together and look forward after this big investment decision!

Seattle & Vancouver Mar 2013

The long awaited holidays... not so much excited about visiting new places but more of getting away from office and someone i dread.

The funny thing is that i am more fearful of the days when i am back from the holidays.. i still gonna face her for the rest of the year and next year and if she stays further.. the coming few years...

That's really terrible and i dont know how i can survive that thoughts always on me.

In any case, i will be flying off in four days' time and maybe i should just let go. Things will still move without me in the office. I will just not think about it and be good to myself, even if it's only for two weeks. That's at least two weeks without the irritating her.
