Universal Studios Singapore

Went to USS (Universal Studios Singapore) with my family, relative and boyfriend the other day on 7 August 2015. Celebration for SG50, so all of us wore in either Red or White !

We actually join the CC for this trip, transport provided. So boyfriend and I set off in different place as he stay Jurong and i am in Chua Chu Kang. He join my relative, and of course i with my family.
As you can see, bento dinner included. We actually thought that not much people will join this event, but surprisingly there's alot of people and our dinner is having in a big ballroom.
During dinner, they have singing of national day songs, etc.

We then starting to queue in to play at 7pm, its really damn pack. By the time we went in is already 8plus. I really wish to take more pictures but then we only have like about 3hours so we actually choose to play than taking photos.

Proposal: I said yes ♡

"The day i said, YES"

First of all, i wanna thanks all the wishing that we've gotten via all kind of ways. Really appreciate.

So on the 9 august 2015, boyfriend proposed to me. Although its a simple one, but i still very happy that he made this effort. He is not a romantic boyfriend but he is definitely a guy that will dote me well. Although he didn't say a lot of sweet words to me but the way he treat me i can know it where i really stand. 

"I never thought i could love someone as much as i love you. I never knew i could be loved by someone as much as you love me. You make me feel things i never even know existed. I love our crazy little life because its ours. You & me forever and ever."

Okay, so he actually hide the ring for me to find it & of course i found it. For every place he hide, there's a meaning behind it. 

 For ring, "I want to walk with you for the rest of my life". - In shoes

For earring, "I want to dream of you every single night". - In pillow

And so, he kneel and proposed to me, and i said YES! (: 

I was overjoyed with happiness feeling like all my dream came true with that one "Yes" i said. Loving you is so wonderful and being loved by you is a blessing.

"Stairway to marriage"

And so now,

I'm engaged to the sweetest man on earth (:

Our flat !

"From nothing into something"

As you know, nowadays many couples actually decided to go for BTO/SOB first before getting married because flats are getting more and more ex. So, Boyfriend and I had actually balloted a flat last year November 2014. We applied for Sales of Balance, Chua Chu Kang. And after a long way, we finally settled !

8 Steps to get your house !

1. Submit your application online. 
After all the research and consideration, we decided to pay a non-refundable administrative fee of $10 for the Chua Chu Kang flat. It will only take 5-10 minutes for you to complete an submission.
You should check on your eligibility for a loan from HDB or a bank/financial institution, before you commit to buy a flat. Please refer to Eligibility to buy new HDB flat & Online Eligibility Questionnaire.

2. Ballot Result
We waited for around 2-3 months for the ballot result to release. We prayed hard that we can get a good queue number. And yes ! We gotten number 10 ! (:

3. Apply for Loans
Before you go down for selection of flat, you may want to apply for the HLE. It takes around 1 month to approve.
If you plan to take an HDB housing loan, you must have a valid HDB Loan Eligibility (HLE) Letter when you book a flat.
If you are taking a bank loan, please approach any financial institutions to find out the amount of home loan which you can get. You must have a valid Letter of Offer before signing the Agreement for Lease. For an estimate of the maximum loan that you may be eligible, please use our maximum loan calculator. Click here to apply for the HLE letter online.

4. Waiting for appointment
We received our booklet around 1-2 months after we have received our queue number.
While waiting, I suggest you guys to select more choice if your number is far away. This is because others might be choosing what you want, and you won't have much time for you to discuss there. Like mine, i gotten number 10, so i chosen at least 10 flat.

5. Selection appointment
Finally, it's our selection appointment, 02 April 2015 ! We had our flat at Chua Chu Kang, flat was $290,600. Oh ya, do take note that your HLE did not expire. But if your HLE expired, it's alright you may just have to reapply it again. HLE last for six months.

Things to bring for selection:

• Identity Cards for both of the parties
• Latest 3 months payslips (Your payslip should have your company stamp)
• Letter from employer (if you doesn't have payslip)
• Marriage Certification (if you have)
• For 3rooms $1000 option fee, for 4rooms/5rooms $2000 option fee. These are payable via Cash/Nets/Cheque. And these option fee will refunded to you after you have made your deposit.

We also applied for the AHG/SHG grant (at least one of your partner work for 12 months continuously). *SHG is available for 2-room, 3-room and 4-room flat applications, and in non-mature estates only.

Things to submit to apply AHG/SHG:

• Original payslips for the past 12 months.
• Letter from employer (if you doesn't have payslip)
• CPF statements showing contributions for the past 12 months.

 After all the signing procedures, we were asked to pay our option fee of $2000 at level 3, and then back to the office again. The whole process took 15-20 minutes.

6. AHG/SHG Letter
We have been waiting for this AHG/SHG letter for 3-4months, and so our AHG/SHG letter has arrived. It's a GOOD NEWS ! We got a total of 45K grant, 22.5K each to our account !It's very simple, all you have to do is to submit those document.
Read more on various CPF Housing Grants available.

7. Signing Agreement for lease
You will be invited to sign the Agreement for Lease within three months from your flat selection date. On 02 July 2015, we went down to sign our Agreement for Lease, we paid 5% of our flat which means $14,530 using part of our grant. The balance 5% will have to pay when our key collection time.

8. Key Collection
That's it ! We are waiting for our keys collection now (:

Our flat most probably will be ready by 1st Quarter 2016. We are excited for our new flat and we are working really hard on it ! This is just the first step to our future. (:
