After the HDB second appointment... finally the house is ours...

The wait for our new flat was finally over last Monday. Despite of my busy IMF schedule, we managed to get the keys to our flat from the owners. I almost blew my top when our agent Adi, told us that not all of the listed previous tenants of our flat could come to HDB Hub for the appointment! Apparently one of them just got discharged from hospital that day and prefarably all of them don't want to come down for the appointment! Adi informed me that I might have to come down again on another day for the completion of the HDB legal process. Urgh.. These people caused me plenty of inconvenience ever since we signed the option to purchase agreement. Also Adi said that their agent did not control them well. We had waited for them for around three months until they managed to secure a deal for their new flat.Then came the 8 weeks wait for the second appointment date... Macam macam dugaan sey!!! Luckily for us, neither of us need to come back to sign any papers.

Then came the second flat inspection later in the evening. It seemed that the family did not take good care of their flat. The walls are full of scribblings by the children, kitchen sink has leftover food at the water outlet (yikes!!), place not cleaned up properly and just today I found some cracks near the kitchen sink... I guess from this day onwards we are definitely going to renovate the toilets and perhaps the kitchen too. The living and dining area looks ok. *sigh* I thought I would not want to spend much on renovation works but it seemed otherwise now. Oh well...life begins on a new chapter for us. Hope that Iffah will be happy with us in our new home and can adjust well to soe new arrangements; like waking up in the morning and make our way to Atuk's place across the street before me and Lina make our way to work..
