A visit to HDB

My dear dear and me took a trip to HDB for our flat selection. At first, we were wondering if we should still go for the appointment, because our queue number was 347 with only 180 flats available. We decided to just give it a go to see if we still can get a flat. By the grace of God, there were still flats available, but most of them were on the 2nd story. There was one last flat remaining on the 3rd story, and we were quite tempted to just put our name down for it. If we were still scheduled to get married in November, then I would have definitely say yes. We wouldn't know if we would get another chance to choose a new flat in a mature estate. However, choosing the flat now would mean we have to get married soon, and with the situation as it is now with my mom, it is really not an easy decision to make. I was very proud of my dear dear... she managed to bring herself to say "Lets think about your mom... she wouldn't like it if we got the flat now... it might seems as though we were forcing her to accept our marriage".

This definately is not an easy thing for my dear dear to say. I know how much she wants to get married. I know how much she wants to get a flat with me. I'm really proud of her for not choosing to put her own desires first. It is amazing what God has done in her life in a short time. I thank God for His work... and I pray that by His grace, our relationship will continue to stand the test of time.

It was difficult for me to let go of the flat, especially as we didn't expect to have much of a choice left. I thank God for the experience. I pray that very soon, we will be able to choose a flat for real.

In the meantime... we only keep our dreams, and we keep believing that God will make a way in our situation.
