And we're getting our cave

Private joke between E and myself. After constantly sharing updates about our house-hunting situation with friends and sometimes blogging about our hopes about it, I decided that I wouldn't say anything about it this time until we have signs that it's going to happen and now it has, so it's time to announce that we're finally on our way to becoming house-owners.

Earlier on, we sent in our application for the January 2008 HDB balloting exercise. This marks over a year of failed attempts and from the response, we weren't very hopeful but still we kept our fingers tightly crossed that maybe this time would be different. Perhaps the priority scheme did help coz we opted for the Bedok units, for which a total of over 2500 applications were received and our final queue number was 7x. With 199 4-room units up for selection, this means we stand a high chance of getting a choice unit.

We're absolutely thrilled about this piece of good news. From the looks of it, 2009 is going to be a really significant year in our lives. I can't wait!
