Because I'm bad at remembering dates so I thought I should note it down here -
5 Mar 17 - We got ourselves a house! It felt like a shotgun marriage. We got it after looking around for a house for the past month or so. Our weekends were spent visiting houses and somehow there wasn't any feel. The houses were either way out of our budget (ya at that time our budget was S$600k) or it felt too old and in need of a massive reno. Somehow one thing led to another and we visited showrooms instead. It's our first big purchase and now we are both saddled with a huge debt. There are times when I kept questioning myself if it was the right decision (wtf S$776k debt) but we've already made the purchase so can only look forward lol. I have learnt to shut people out when they start criticising our choice because it felt like a personal attack (and I've already got the house so such comments are pretty unnecessary lol).
11 Mar 17 - We are getting married this year/next year! Coz the house is coming in Q4 this year! He insisted that the proposal wasn't coz of the house (ok I believe him because he got the ring last year!). My heart is full now :')
So now we are both v excited people for whatever that's coming our way the end of this year. I'm looking forward to building a nest tgt. Furniture hunting so far has been super chill and inspiring!
The reason behind this sudden post was because I was otw home after a long meeting. The meeting was held somewhere in the vicinity of our future home. As my boss drove past the properties near our future home, I saw the sunset in its full glory and it was captivating. Looking forward to watching the sunsets from our balcony next time (got to embrace the west facing balcony HAHA).
Work has been super mundane so far. I'm finally glad that this project that I've been working on since I started work is finally ending! It has been a roller coaster of events working on it. I'm glad that it has allowed me to travel to places I would have never gone to before not once but four times. I have seen the stark contrast between the rich and the poor. I have sat on vehicles driven by both the rich and the poor and noticed how they introduced certain places differently. It makes me ashamed to know that I used to think certain places were known as slums but others view it differently. To them, this is their home and it's perfect. I admire their optimism and really it's just about appreciating the little things in life.
