Love & Property

Awkward...is when you see a co-worker strut around in her underwear in the women's bathroom

So lately, I've been helping Bev look for a place to buy.

It hasn't turned out so great, apparently developers these days think we have five hundred thousand worth of pocket change to throw into their face in exchange for something a little larger than a hotel room.

What chu say? the unit has its own courtyard?

Bam!!! Buy!

*throws half a million worth of 50sen coins at the agent*

(who cares if the agent dies anyway)

Its true that house prices now have gone up to crazy indecent amounts. So crazy expensive that its like I have to kidnap someone for ransom money just to afford a house.

And this is despite how the dumbass pooliticians still claim that 'house

prices are still manageable and the lowest in the region..bla..bla..'

Yeah, lowest...

likewise for our average salary.

With my current net worth, I can only cough up enough to afford...one

toilet.

Lousy........is when you can't afford a MINI with 4 wheels, nor can you afford a MINI with two wheels. (<-- clicky me!)

Lousy.

Anyhow, I'm in no rush to find a place...and quite frankly, I don't foresee myself buying any property in the near term.

Although, not everyone is as fortunate as I am to be able to wait-it-out...till these indecent prices stabilize, or till my net worth inflates (but thats a long-shot!)..but simply because, I still live with my crazy parents...

......and fat (irritable) cat :)

It may sound a bit crazy, but I think that buying a house is kinda like falling in love.

I have this childish fantasy...believing that out of the blue..the perfect house will just show up in front of me one day.

Like love, the more you try to look for it...the harder it is to come by, and the less likely you'll find it.

Cos sometimes, the best things that happen in life, come when you least expect it.

Having found the one I'd like to spend the rest of my life with, finding the perfect home doesn't seem like such an impossible task anymore :)

And every other crappy house you could have lived in, with or without crazy parents living in it...would just be worth every second of it because it would lead you right to 'the house'.

You'll know it in your heart, and you couldn't be more certain about anything else.
