Frustrated

We've started checking out flats for rent and everyday I get agitated on the prices that I see in the newspapers or in the internet ads. I can't believe that HDB flats is now at 2K+ high. We've viewed a total of 5 flats so far but one was really crappy and they're asking 1.5K for it. To top that off, they advertised it as "nice". Please don't get me wrong, though I am very picky on flats I live in, I try not to be pintasera unless really "provoked". I guess that flat hit my limit.

I wish these agents will get more information first before advertising anything so that their time and our time won't be wasted. And, I really hope that relevant authorities will look into the housing situation soon. Though owners are increasing rental prices, our salaries stay the same.

super agree po ako sa'yo.. sana nga may magcontrol sa pagbigay ng renta yung mga agent at owners.. nagiging sobrang unreasonable na sila :(

Gosh! 2K ang HDB? Parang gusto ko pasalamat sa landlord namin kasi nung March pa nya kami pinaalis. At least dati, average ng executive & 4+1 HDB flats, 1300-1500 pa lang. And I'm glad, 2 years ang contract namin.

pathetic na nga talaga rental prices ngayon. yung iba valid ang reason dahil brand new at maganda ang location. pero yung iba, taking advantage na lang talaga.

prediction nila, until the IR's all done, tuloy pa rin daw ang pagtaas ng real estate market dito.

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Math Matters

Dawter T called me up and excitedly told me that she's the highest in Math for term 1. So, I thought it was for their exam in Ordinal numbers. "Mommy, Mrs. T said, I am the highest in my tests and in my worksheets. I am 100 %!" Ok, ok, it's our first year in Primary so I am still a bit confused with the grading system. Then, she said, my English is good, but it's not like Math! That got me more confused! But still, I owe her a trip to Night Safari! Hehehe. *** I got home and found Dawter T's assessment folder. And lo and behold, it's true! I am very proud of my chicka! Hehehe (And Pre was even more than proud, for him, only Math matters hahaha)

Sunday Afternoon

We've had an adventure this afternoon. We ate at Pizza Hut and was very disappointed that they forgot to bring out our pizza. It should have come sooner but they made a mistake of bringing out thin crust instead of pizza hut. Pre had to ask the crew about it and only then did they informed us that the pizza was still 5 minutes away, and they were giving us some fried chicken for our wait. I mean, hello? We've waited a long time and it was not our fault and you only thought of the chicken after my husband marched in to your area to ask! We're not difficult customers. We're just hungry hehehe... Bad thing turned to good. The manager was Filipina and after Pre told her about our case, she said that Pizza Hut decided that we don't need to pay for what they have served. Fair enough. But, I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon. So sad. To cap our day, took some photos of the girls. Ate too conscious of her teeth. Bebi A, loving her yellow balloon.
