dear's bdae + surprise

Just now went to "My Secret Garden" for dinner with dear to celebrate his bdae. We ordered lobster bisque, Casar salad, for him is rib eye steak, for me is cod fish and later we had chocolate pudding with toffee sauce. Enjoyed the dinner as the ambiance there is great, not too noisy and there is some soothing music in the background. Forgotten to take pics of the main course. Only remember to take my camera out when the dessert came.



This is what I have gotten for dear as pressie >> a watch. Dear doesn't own a watch so I decided to get him that after he commented that the watch is nice. I am happy that he liked the watch. :)


Dear with his watch.

As for the surprise, it was the RING! I got a proposal from dear and was presented with a diamond ring. I was really surprised as he just pulled out the ring box out of no where and asked me "you don't want this?" Hehe!
So there is me with my ring....

He also said some touching words.... "With that ring, you are the 2nd happiest person in the world. And with you accepting the ring, I am the happiest person in the world." Those words melted my heart. Thanks dear!!



However, we need to alter the ring as my sis gave dear the wrong size. The ring is a little too tight on my fat fingers. Hehe! We will go and alter after we are back from Bintan. Yippe! This weekend we are heading for Bintan as dear's friend had booked a villa there. Time for R & R! Hehe!

stupid

Felt so stupid and silly, worrying for nothing.

where are all the flats?

Now is really a very difficult time to buy a HDB flat as the demand for them is high but the amount of flats that are putting up for sale is low. Therefore, once there is a good catch, everyone is grabbing for it even thought one might need to fork out 30-40k cash above valuation or even more. Sigh. Such a big headache. After searching for closing to a year now, we are still at square one.

The valuation of the flats are getting higher. The price the owners are asking are also higher. Some are very far stretched or I should say 狮子大开口。For example, this morning I asked an agent who advertised on today's paper. It was a 5rm flat which was about 6yrs old, on 11th floor. The valuation is $430k and the owner is asking for a sky high price of $495k! OMG! These kind of flats, we do not even need to go and see, the price alone has scared us off.

So with such ridiculous pricing, how and when can we get something that we like and is within our budget? Really feel kind tired of flipping through the papers, calling the agents and viewing flats.
