❤ 爱的小屋 Part 1 ❤ - Our Balloting Progress

Start writing blog to share some exciting journey about my life..

Now.. something exciting coming up will be my upcoming love nest.. that is why I wanted to start writing about this before when years goes by... I tend to forget the process of this excitement...

Let's throw back... About 2 years back, we had tried our 1st balloting for a BTO project at Woodlands as it was near SX's parents home. But we were unable to get our ideal unit so we forgo our chance. We waited for a year and we tried for another BTO project that was launched back on May 2015 at Sembawang. We tried to ballot that it because of the balcony. Yes, HDB BTO that has balcony.. I love balcony.. But.. then we got a reply from HDB, informing us that our queue was actually out of the queue number and we are at the waiting list.. We waited for quite sometime... but unfortunately, HDB wrote us a letter again that there wasn't any units left. So HDB encourage us to try for the next BTO instead.

Finally this was our 3rd chance to ballot a flat.. instead of getting a BTO, we tried for SOBF Nov 2015 project. This was the biggest SOBF balloting that HDB have launched, it was like almost all estate in Singapore that people can choose from. BTO waiting period was about 3-5 years depending on what project and location. To shorten the waiting time, so we tired for SOBF instead. 

Since this was the SOBF and we able to choose which estate we want. Again, we tried for the Sembawang area. For Sembawang itself, there are quite a few projects for us to choose from for the area at Canberra, eg: Eastbank, Eastbrook, Eastcrown, Eastlace and Eastlawn.

We got the Queue No. H0485. Upon our selection of units, there are many things that need to take in for consideration. Like which project we preferred. As some projects, there were a mixture of different type of flat, 3 rooms, 4 rooms, 5 rooms, rental flats, etc.. And also the neighboring development, unit at facing where etc.. Among the few projects at Canberra, we haven chosen Eastlawn. This project only have 4 & 5 rooms unit and we have chosen 4 rooms.

We have missed out alot of the process... But still very thankful for everything.. ❤
