We had a meet the parents session today. toot's parents and my parents met up for dim sum before the flat selection.
We finished lunch quite fast.
Then started discussing about the wedding.
Then both sides kept saying, nvm la, as long as the young people are happy. Probably there are only a few customs we have to keep in mind.

But then, you know parents right, after that they will add on to this and that and all those funny things.

Eventually we came to the conclusion:

1. Move in to the condo first as holding area from Sep.
2. Wedding to be held in 8th month of the lunar calendar if possible.
3. toot's side say everything follow our side.
4. My dad will give us a few dates after he check and have it calculated.
5. We can decide on our own wedding dinner and place.
6. But they will go food tasting with us, cos it's important that our relatives like the food.
7. My mum say we don't have much custom to follow. (Which i really hope so leh)
8. My dad say he is not selling daughter so as long as we are happy. (So funny)
9. toot's mum says 09 sep not good cos the couple who choose a flat in punggol got into accident and they wanted to get married on that date.

I think it's quite stressful cos we have about 1 year to prepare all these!

Next on the flat selection.
We were so noisy!
And everyone were just looking at the screen and saying ok, it's still there, it's still there.
And yes, I got the flat I want!
I think it's a blessing in disguise. Cos most people got the most convenient units, nearer to the MRT. It then forced us to look at what was available. And we were looking at this block which was super ex of the lot. And my dad was saying:
1. It's a point block
2. Good fengshui
3. West sun blocked.

When I checked with the officer, she said the same thing. So yes, we selected the flat.

The whole process took 1 hour. But then, we are only selecting the flat under HDB's provision, meaning that they will still assess us because of toot's minority share in the condo.

And we have to wait 1 to 1.5 months for the confirmation.

Sigh. No reason to be happy today! At least 1 part is down. Hopefully everything goes on smoothly. pray ah!
