House Matters Settled

After months of deliberation, I have finally settled the transfer of ownership regarding my house. More than $36k gone from my CPF..well..at least not for now until they have officially completed the transfer on the housing board side. The officer came to my house with the documents and then my mum and I signed all the documents and I actually prepared the cheque already for the admin fees which was written by my boss after I gave her the money. But then he didn't want to collect the cheque because he was not authorised and asked me to come down to the HDB branch office instead. Im like..eurgh..go down again?! I also saw this opportunity to not pay..hee..but no matter what, I know they will come and chase after me for the money. Plus, I was holding on to a cheque and it wasn't even written by me so yah..better get it done quickly. But when I came down there to make the payment, apparently they could not find the documents and proceeded to question me who was the officer and how did he look like blah blah blah..I gave the description coz I didn't know the name. Long story short, I just gave the cheque, they gave me the receipt and then anything, they will call me to clarify. If they said that I did not have to pay and just take from my CPF Im fine lah..heh. By the way, I think that should be the way. They can deduct the admin fees from my CPF since they are going to take the money from there anyway.
 
Whatever the outcome, at least my family still have a roof over our head. I still manage to take up a loan with HDB instead of the bank and from October onwards, they will deduct $87 from my central provident fund. At least they didn't deduct all or I don't know what to say. Regarding the paperwork,I got no choice but to pay the rather hefty admin fees and also the outstanding amount to Town Council. So my savings are not in a good state for the last two months though Im still not penniless. Yet. Yes I keep telling myself that as a form of comfort. And uhm..I actually resorted to borrowing from a relative of mine to cover part of the money which totalled to $400. My mum also helped to contribute a bit though she was not happy I asked my aunt if I could borrow $100. Well, that aunt of mine, I helped her when she asked to borrow money and if she didn't want to lend me, then just say so lah..no need to tell my mother. What the f.
 
Currently, Im still owing my friend but I think I would be able to clear it by end of September..well..at least most of it anyway, when my brother will receive his maintenance fees. So meanwhile, have to cut down on savings though at this moment, it's at the wrong time because Hari raya is around the corner "S

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Ray of Light

The act of falling in love. Very subjective and it also depends on the object you desire. Well, if it is the 'whoa mama!' sort of hunk or good looker, then yours truly has fallen in love many times over and over again. But a guy who has stolen my heart for good..well...that has yet to happen. But let's not talk about my non existent love life. Let's just ponder over the act of falling in love. From what I have observed through several tv shows or even movies, I gather that well..not everyone is so lucky to have fallen in love at first sight. It takes time, and maybe it will even take boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend before reality smacks your face and you end up with your very first boyfriend (gasp!). What a truly merry go round. Hey, it happens. Because we make mistakes and we are too blind to notice how someone can truly bring you happiness by their sheer volumes of care and concern for you. In the midst of crisis, a ray of light shines through...
