Farewell

Once again, I have decided to move - hopefully, for the last time. Do follow me and get updates at my new blog here:

www.diyanahxwong.wordpress.com

I guess it becomes easier to pen down my thoughts with an option to get them password protected, that's for sure. There are so many sensitive things I would love to say, but I wouldn't want to hurt anybody. And there are also some things I want to tell my readers, but not uninvited stalkers or royal kpo-ness tahap makcik quarters.

You get what I mean luh, huh.

Oh, and don't worry - if you'd like to request for a password for a particular post, please feel free to PM/DM me or simply drop me an email or Whatsapp. I'll decide whether I'll heed your request, within the next 24 hours!

See you there! :)

A month later..

I think I said I should keep up with updating my blog at least once everyday now, right? And look, it's been a month now. I'm afraid things took a 360° turn and I have been super occupied with the following matters (HAHAHAHAH SO FORMAL):

1. HLE
Ever since we got the news that our HLE got approved, we have been busy resubmitting documents. Why, you ask? Because since I have commenced my new position with my new salary only halfway through the month of September, my CPF contributions were lesser. Also, my payslip did not turn up with the same amount that was declared on the application.

Thus, the loan that we received was based on the salary that was reflected in my September payslip, which was only half of what I was supposed to be getting (I literally only worked for 13 days in September). Which, as a matter of fact, is lower than our target loan amount. Since we wish to maximise the loan amount based on our current adjusted salaries, we have been following up closely with the HDB officer with regards to our request to increase the loan amount.

By the end of October, we should be able to receive sufficient information that would reflect my new salary. And, insya Allah, we are able to have a higher HDB loan - which will then allow us more choices for our dream home!

2. My new job
Yes, it gets busier by the day. Literally. I'm currently supporting the entire Global Team now - from 1 person, it expanded to 6.

So..

3. My in-laws' wedding(s)
My brother and sister-in-law are both getting married to their other halves next weekend, so my family-in-law have been really stressed out with preps. It's like, 2 weddings in a day and we just want to make sure that everything goes as planned. It's really gonna be tough but I'm sure all will go well - with the help from all of us siblings.

A simple early congratulations to the both of them! Let's save the long messages for The Big Day, shall we?

I guess that is basically it for now - I'm actually stealing 20 minutes off work to update this! Insya Allah, till next time.

Assalamu'alaikum, my friends!
