Lucky 79

I received an sms from Tracy today, asking me about my queue number for the BTO at Punggol Residences. She was terribly upset that her queue number was 500+, lamenting that HDB cheated another $10 registration fees from her yet again. So I went into HDB website to check my application status, thinking that our queue number would probably be a 3-digit number as well.

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw a 2-digit number. I took a closer look (literally as my nose almost touched my laptop screen) and confirmed that our number is a cool 79!!! Yeah, it felt good and it seemed like a good omen as it is actually our birth year :) It is the very first time in our numerous attempts at balloting that we manage to get a 2-digit number!

The only thing is that it will take a few years for completion and during that period of time, we will have to stay put in Ang Mo Kio. It will sure take alot of adjustment, especially for me, with no one waiting on me like the way my sister does :'( I am already starting to miss home.....
