Aiyoh, life is such a joke sometimes eh. When you are so desperately looking for something, you'd just NOT find it. Yet the moment when you decide to forget about it, daa taah! it turns up at your doorstep. Crazy.
This same weird thing is happening to my house issue. You know, after mama went away, we thought we'd downgrade & switch to a smaller, easier-to-maintain place. Also thought it'd help to ease the pain a little, coz there's just too many memories in this 13 yr old flat we've all stayed in. We got an agent, we looked at flats in clementi, choa chu kang, bt panjang, bt batok, we put our apartment up for sale, pushed fliers into letterboxes, got it advertised in newspapers & etc etc etc BUT there was nothing. We didn't see anything that caught our fancy nor did our flat caught anyone's fancy. The rejection was mutual & the wait futile. Then last week, after 4 mths of going nowhere, we decided to, heck, just stay put & do an overhaul of our flat. Save all the trouble of packing & moving too.
Then today, over an extended family gathering, we got 2 offers dished out to us. One was a relative wanting to sell his own flat somewhere near bt merah. Another was some friend of a relative wanting to sell his holland road's flat. Being the ever-efficient father-daughter team, we reece both apartments today, just to get a feel. & I must say that the holland one looks promising. It's a small 3-room flat, but it's location is superb. It is simply NEXT to holland village. So now, we are (or at least I am) a little tempted again... Maybe we will move afterall. And if we do, & you decide you wanna pop by after your weekday/end rendezvous(es) at holland V, just dial sunnytears. At most, she'd charge rent.
Hey, u think we should move??

i'm in no position to ask u to move, but if the house appeals, then go with the feeling. :D
yahz... think as we grow older, a lot of things in life, we better "go with the feeling", live for the moment. sometimes think too much, we end up with nothing. =P.
p.s. but then again, moving house is quite a big decision/investment.. hmmm... never mind, i'd check out that place first. meanwhile, i'd stock up on Home & Decor mag. will let ya know if i move.
HOLLAND VEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! nuff said (but dun move juz coz i said HOLLAND VEE)
suggestion noted. i had u on my mind when i wrote that "weekday/end rendevouz" part. YOU should be the one moving to holland veeeeee.
