Compassvale Cape - Soon to be Our Love Nest

Thursday, 3 October 2013 | 20:49 | 0 comments

On 21st March 2013, boyf and I decided it's time to get a home for ourselves. Which at that point, we decided to join the Mar 2013 BTO.

It wasn't a impromptu decision. During November 2011, we joined as well, but gave up eventually giving a thought that we still needed time to save up our CPF to manage our home well (financially). This time, we calculated that it's well sufficient for us to manage our little love nest and hence paid a $10 administrative fee. HDB earn a whole sum here definitely. Our project consists of 1400 units X $10 = $14000. Laughs~. Just joking here.

Main objective why we applied this BTO is because, it's convenient. Mommy just have to walk 5-10mins to reach my aunt's house to visit granny. And also, boyf has got lotsa friends staying around that vacinity, meeting up more regularly has no problem. There are schools around too, so for our kids in future, NO WORRIES :D

After applying, I heard news that Sengkang General Hospital will be building just nearby (I believe a 5-10mins walk). If they provide gynae, why not I have my kids born there. Hahahah !!! Think too much ><

On 17 July 2013, approximately 3 and 1/2 months after application is our first appointment for selection of flat. On this day, we have to pay $1000 option fee as well. We selected a 3 room flat :)

On this day, we applied for HLE + AHG too. We didn't brought enough documents on that day, luckily we were able to submit our documents via MYDOC@HDB. Just scan as PDF file and submit into their system :D

Applying for a BTO flat consists alot of W A I T I N G ...

It was until 30th Sept 2013 where we got our AHG approved. Was only granted $20,000. I thought our income was eligible for $25,000 but it's okay because we still had enough to manage the flat :)

AHG approved doesn't mean instant 2nd appointment fixed. I waited another few days when on the 3rd October 2013, then I finally see the date of our 2nd appointment to sign the agreement of lease. It was like a finally. Because, after signing the agreement of lease, all we have to do is to just wait for the whole building to be built and collect our keys. By that time, I believe , in 3-4years to come, waiting for the moment to step into our selected unit, we will definitely feel it's all worth for the wait.

Below are the photos of the progress. From a piece of land, to seeing things happening on that land. The feeling is so unbelievable :D
