No kena....9255 1st prize on Wed. What a waste...esp I did buy my car number I-bet.
Missed out on $4K lor.
ToTo....also a goner!
Wah....lately checked my car insurance price. Got a shock!!! Instead of cheaper due to higher NCB claim....the actual price for my car's insurance has gone up by at least 50%. From $550 to nearly over $800 that is after my 50% NCB discount. Then for those with younger drivers or with less then 2 yrs driving experience gotto pay for loading. And can be quite a bit.

House hunting
Wah....after a weekend of going house hunting, guessed things are more or less settled. Already have confirmed to rent a condo at Springdale. Nothing too fancy,
in fact....it is unfurnished and it has 3 bedrooms. With about 1170 sq ft of space
and is also bright and windy. It is a nice small place....over looking the swimming pool. At 6th floor...not too high or too low.
For the price of $1850 per month....which is much cheaper than some HDB flats we went to look at. Got one EA...at Bt Batok, the owner is asking for $2.3K which to us is too much becoz I still gotto pay for car park too. While for condo...the rent is including the car park already. Why...choose a unfurnished one? Well...I have my own furnishings which is a waste to throw away. And for some old condo...the furnishings are quite worn-out. The TV is just 32" LCD or smaller...or the old fashion 29" box like ones. So....I can still take some of my stuffs along with us to the new place. Btw I will be having a 2yrs lease.
It was quite tiring running around....from one condo or flat to another. Yes....some
condos are really "class" eg like Maplewoods but I don't quite like the unit I saw there....it is a 1+1 and going for $2.4K. The prices pretty wide in some cases esp for those with MRT stations near-by. Like the Warren in CCK....a small unit 2+1 will go for $2.4K and the swimming pool area look like a public pool. So many different races....they don't really care for the place. Making it worst than public area. For Springdale....it is a small development so not so crowded....and it is quite clean.
Until....we shifted out of my flat into the condo, I have no peace. Worried about so many things....plus also how things would work out. The transports for my wife and children....yes! we have all agreed that there is no problem from there to their workplace or school but have not actually do it yet. Only when it is really proven to be okay then I can only relax but for now....big headache!!! Then....to get more stuffs for the place. That maybe fun....Courts - Bt Timah is just opp my area.

Sunday - house hunting day
Well...this is the start of the mad rush and it can be fun too esp if like to look at how others keep their flats.
For myself...I guess it is no choice thing to do, esp already sold the flat or in one month's time be sleeping in my car. So...just keep the fingers cross that it was a right decision after all.
As for now...it will get more hairy as the actual hand-over day approach but what to say? What is done....stay done!

1st May
Wah...so fast that we are already at 1st May. For myself, by end of this month I have to shift out to hand over the flat to the new owner. Sad....esp after 6+ years of staying there but really got no choice to hold on to the house. Now hunting for a rental condo for the next one year before buying again. Even buy....maybe just another 4 room flat at most or smaller still.
Well...sometimes it is just that we have to move on, come rain or shine as everything seem to happen but for now we cannot really understand why? Like losing money playing shares...not that I have not experienced losing before but after more than 7 years of not touching it...itchy backside, go play the share again. First as usual....made money then lost whatever I won plus another 200% interest. SHIT!!
Now...what? Frankly....I don't really know the future but gotto take one step at a time. Worst to worst....just gotto pay with my life hor.

Justice???
oh....about the editor who caused the fatal accident and was sentence to be jailed for 12 mth but upon appeal...she just got one day jail.
Hahaha....what a fat joke? Why? Well....becoz she has the money and can afford a good lawyer.
Then...another case of one old rich man who has nothing better to do than to go around his condo to put glue into people's key-holes or damaged other's things becoz they didn't go along with him to sell enblock the condo. He was caught and fined just $700 for that. What more....he just laughed it off saying he spent 3 to 4K a night in a nightclub so $700 was nothing to him when he was interviewed by the newpapers. Just show....what type of justice we have in Singapore. For a illegal caught....he has to be rotan 3 strokes and jailed for 3 to 6 mths...why? Well...he is just too poor to do anything about it.
Oh....yes! about the 3 heroes who wear the kangaroo T-shirt and were sentenced to jail for showing comtempt in court. What do you called what the old rich man action is? That also happen with the nasty neighbours' case...the old man whose family lived in a landed house was interviewed after losing his case against his neighbour and was fined. He too laughed it off....saying he can bloody well afford to pay for the fines.
After all these jokes in our courts....these rich fuckers got to be thrown in jail for a couple of months to learn a lesson. Oh....yes! that should included the rich monk too. Just what a bloody joke? A monk's pay at 20K...or a Church pastor with a
600K/yr paid....and a priest with 8 million of asset ( in today's newpapers ). Man....I must be in the wrong profession. What is going on?????

Praying day - 1st of 4th Lunar Month
Wah...so fast, already 4 months gone for this year. Oh...btw I have another 1 month to stay in my present flat, but still have not go for house hunting yet. Guess...it
has to be soon maybe after the 1st of May thing.
As usual, went to Waterloo St Temple for pray-pray and chiam-see. Again a good chiam-see....No 12. What is really bothering me lately is dishonest lawyer esp since I sold my flat mainly becoz I need the money to clear off some of my debts and to start anew. Read in the newspapers that some crooky lawyers ran off with clients' money and that really hit a spot in me. So...go asked Kuang-Imm about it and luckily it is going to be okay chiam-see. At least...I won't be so moody and worried after this.
Oh...there was a old man dressed like a monk at Waterloo St in front of the temple and he would be giving pieces of red papers written with a 4D number inside. He collapsed onto the floor this morning and the ambulance come for him. He was not moving.....may have a heart-attack. Fast and easy death....I envy him. Have to be happy for him if he is gone....no point to live too long esp being poor, worst if poor and sick. I don't think I want that kind of live....if fact, I am ready to go anytime. I have been clearing all the loose-ends so that....when my time comes, hopefully hardly anyone else beside my most immediate family will know and send me off on my last trip to Mandai hehehe. Have also left words that if too hard to drop my remain in the sea....then just flush it down the toilet at Mandai itself. Done and Gone for good.
Looking back at my life...well, not too bad for a screw-ball like me frankly. Not much studying...just somehow met a few good people and loved ones along the way to share and point me the way. I can only said...it was a wonderful journey so far and I rated my life as a "6.5/10" in term of living a good life. And I have my mistakes and also my success....and one thing I really learned from it is not to be too self-critical and to treat myself better....it would have been much more present.
Oh...about lot 12 ( chiam-see ) = good and bad...good and evil is just a short span away from each other. After all the bad things....it is only natural for the good things to follow. You will find that instead of using hemp to cover your feet...it would soon be covered with silk, richness and goodness will be yours soon. Just lighten up and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
From the above....I take it as it won't be any problem regarding my money from the flat and also, life would be smoother too. Cross my fingers and pray hard hehehe.
