Hello there!!
A little background story about my Boyfriend and me..
We got to know each other in 2017 and we have been together for 1.5 years, not a long time, I know.
We didn't really thought of applying for a BTO until his mother asked us to get a flat. That's when we started exploring, we gave August 2018 BTO a miss because we don't fancy any of the areas that's being launched and we kinda wanna apply for the November's 2018 one.
Mid November 2018, we threw in $10 and applied for a 4room flat @ EastGlen Canberra. It's one of the slower waiting time project along with SengKang and Yishun, it is stated to be completed in 2020. With new Canberra MRT station near EastGlen, we thought it's really good.
1month later, HDB sent a SMS and email to inform us of our queue number..
Its a pretty small project with only 131 flats available for 4 roomers, the project is so popular with over 700-800 applicants vying for 131 units!!!
Our queue number is 131. Are we lucky or are we not?
Got an appointment date on 12 Feb 2019, our appointment is at 315pm with 10 applicants in front of us that day, we still managed to select a mid-floor unit, paid $2000 booking fee.
Not a very happy day because the units we wanted - all got selected right before us! The boyfriend wanted to give up our chance because he don't really want to stay at mid-level. ANW, he came to his senses few days later and decided that he is okay with the unit. That's quite funny because he already paid $2000.
OH! not to mention, this project is FULLY SOLD OUT already. Usually there will be leftovers but not for Eastglen @ Canberra :-)
Right now, we are just waiting for our next appointment to sign the agreement of lease and we are all set to collect our keys!!! I am quite excited because it will be ready in the 3rd quarter of 2020
(say what??)
