Amidst struggling with getting Custard back to on the track of recovery and uploading the tons of pictures taken over the past weeks, we found great comfort upon getting this piece of good news...
'twas a huge gamble we took about 2 years ago, when we decided to buy this 30-year old unit. Much disappointed from our participation in previous balloting of flats, so we went for resale units instead. The already-announced SERS flats in Commonwealth were going at a ridiculous asking price range of 40 - 50 thousand cash per unit (COV), and we had to try our luck at guessing the next possible SERS location.
And so on the morning of our open house during CNY, we got a suspiciously thick envelope at our door from HDB, containing the SERS booklet and brochure of our future home. The new unit will be located at Clementi Avenue 3, where the current temporary bus interchange sits, diagonally across where our house is currently located. Still a street across to the central, just that there'll be no more overhead bridge linked to the MRT. Heh.

Thankfully the wait wasn't too long ^_^
Went through the documents given real quickly (too excited) at 2am, after he finished his mahjong session and the folks all went home.
We've a choice of 3-room; 4-room (85sqm); 4-room (92sqm); 5-room, and we started working on our sums since we're planning to get a bigger unit this time.
Poppy and I almost couldn't sleep that night even though we were dead beat from all the preparation and cleaning up!
