Thursday night: signed on an agreement to purchase 352 square metres of dirt, rocks and weeds. Felt strangely nonchalant about it. Deposit will be paid next week, the deed will be passed to me May or June next year, and then it’d bye-bye disposable income!
Friday night: drank so much that I didn’t remember parts of the night until friends reminded me the next day. And luckily I was looked after by them. But oh what a hangover! Never again?! Erm, yeah.
Saturday night: got dragged by friends to go to Connections, a gay and lesbian friendly bar. It was my second time there. It was quite alright actually. Turns out that the very first time I went a few years back was on their weekly gay night – which was a bit more overwhelming than their “normal” nights like last night. Explains why it’s only now that I have returned to the place.
Sunday so far: woke up at 11am, had breakfast, played with Snoop, and have watched 3 hours of cartoons – Batman the animated series, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. The rest of the day is a blank slate but in a good way and not like what happened on Friday night.

OMG you dived (or is it dove?) of the home buying cliff! Wow! I’m scared shiteless and teetering on the edge of that one.. Did you end up semi-metro or out in the almost sticks?
The weekend’s been good to me – other than my poor bf getting whacked with gastro today.. and having an almost mojito at yesterday’s Red Bull do that I swear was 90% vodka (euuurrgh!) that wrote me off. Hahahaha.
So how does it feel, Mr almost-land-owner?
I’m still in the burbs – was a great find. Some land became available when a local college moved. I would never consider the sticks!
And erm, I don’t feel any different right now. Ask me again when I start paying the mortgage.
WAH that was quick – the property purchase I mean.
Have you got grand designs plans then? let’s see a picture – did you just like buy up the land that was occupied by a WHOLE college??
Wah, you’re fast. Say buy only, really buy! Better enjoy now before your disposable income shrinks. I am feeling the pain now.
Congrats on signing it
It will be a pain building from scratch but there’ll also be much joy in turning a house into a home…
sourrain: it was a good location at an ok price, so yeah – snapped it up! And no, the college’s land was subdivided into over 20 lots with more to come.
blur ting: yeah quick huh?! And yes, I’m anticipating a reduction in my social spending. Either that, I should start cooking my own lunch every day.
Lisa: that’s definitely something that I’m looking forward – decorating the interiors etc. But at the same time, just thinking about how much I have to spend and what I can afford is mildly stressful. Heh.
Wow, If I could own my land, how good will it be. Haizzzz, Singapore…
Hahahaha.
So what’s next, design ur own house?
hey, congrats… sigh i wish i can own one. too bad Malaysia property is getting expensive.
u can decorate ur place as u wish and have a party blast on the weekends..wow tht’s nice..
Lupin: nah, I’d most likely pick a pre-designed plan from a builder.
Lina: it all does sound nice in principle, although I’m keeping an eye open to the down sides too.
Wah, congrats….how exciting!!! Pre-designed plan sounds good..we are in the middle of reno now and living in an absolute shit hole with dust everywhere.. arrgh…how I wish we have gone for building instead of renovating…
Is Snoop getting his personal pad?
jhui40: thanks! hmm well your dusty shithole is only temporary. In the end, you’d get exactly what you’d want.
Lupin: thinking of leaving him in the current house as there’s more people around and I’d mostly probably come back for dinners a lot too.
