Denied!

Today, the result of our final HDB ballot came out, and it was a whopping 4 digit queue number. Not that we expect some 2 digit number or what, but it's still quite discouraging to us.

Before the result was out, I learnt of a trick from some forumers (yes I read singaporebrides forums) that if you check the source of the page containing your flat application, you can see the appointment date allocated to you. So I did that trick, and saw that we were actually allocated a date! 10th June 9:45 AM!! We were never allocated a date, ever!

So, to tell the truth, my hopes were a bit up, thinking that we might get a new flat after all. When the result was officially out at 2 pm, I logged on and checked the result, only to find a big big number staring back at me, 1190. Naturally, I was sian, but like I said, it was kind of expected already. Like rubbing salt to my wound, my Chinese national colleague who already owned a flat in Sengkang, came to me to ask what number did I get. I was a bit puzzled at first, then realised that he applied for this balloting exercise too. I told him my number, and he was like "wah, so big? I got 652 leh" Inside I was like -.-; "wtf" but outside i needed to :-D "really? wow!"

Sigh.. I don't really know how the system works, and I don't really care anymore. I just want to say to our "Gahmen" that don't blame the people for marrying late or low birthrate if we have to lucky draw for our flat.

Application to HDB for permission to get married...... DENIED!
