stressed over something that is not fated to be...

Feb 22, 2008 21:49

the event that got me worrying all night was the HDB flat application...

decided to try balloting for the bi-monthly flats this round and was upset with the results...

even taking to day off just to make sure that i'm the first (ok, maybe the first 50) to submit my online application for the flat resulted in a 2000++ queue number...

298 flats, 10000 ( Read more... )

work, flat

Know how u feel exactly! I got queue number 4303! So count yourself blessed my dear. I guess we just got to remain hopeful! At most, there's always the resale market! Which area are you looking at?

I was also stressed for that few days, and luckily it only lasted a week before the results. I do hope they'll make it shorter, e.g. 1 day. My queue is tripple of yours, and my brother commented "no chance at all!!!"
May be we should suggest to HDB to allow people to indicate more specifically what they wanted. For people like you who are not aiming for Toa Payoh might lose out due to the many applicants who are attracted by the Toa Payoh units. But then again, you might not lose out since your desired unit might still be there as these applicants probably won't consider other locations. Hmmm... I'll develop this idea more in my blog later.
In fact, HDB has already split the locations into 3 sectors. However, it seems even smaller sectors are necessary, especially sector C matured estates.
