We went to HDB Hub this morning to sign the agreement of lease and collect our house keys! I’ve lived in the West for 5 years, East for 1 year and now (soon) I’m gonna live in the North. We opened the doors of our new house soon after getting the keys. Our interior designer came to help us inspect the new place for defects. We found a few defects — the skirting wasn’t done properly and some stuffs like the door stopper and window screws were a little rusty. The master bedroom’s toilet door and the study room’s windows can’t close properly. Some of the window rubbers were also too short. We are submitting the defect list on Monday. Renovation can start on the first second week of March (hdb told us that it will take 2 weeks to rectify the defects).

We have just received a letter from HDB informing us that we can collect our house keys next week!! We booked the flat almost 8 months ago and we are finally getting the keys. I’m excited! Unfortunately renovation won’t be completed by 14th March. I’m hoping we can move in by end of March, although the chances are pretty slim. Fingers crossed.
