His Hunch Was Right

Turned out Berry's hunch was right.  Some measures were implemented!  Is it indeed God's will?  We were glad the heftier additional buyer's stamp duty didn't apply to us because we signed the Option to Purchase a day before the implementation were to take effect.

God's Will?

We've been looking for a new place for months.  Today, I went to take a look at a condo unit at Novena, without Berry, as it could only be viewed during office hours.  It's one of the cheapest unit that can every be found at Novena.  I like the place.  Small as it is, there's a sense of serenity in it.  The only thing is it's tenant-occupied.  And the owner wished for the tenant to remain in the unit, if possible, as she has been a wonderful tenant.

I told Berry about it.  Without even looking at the unit himself, Berry told me to offer a price to the agent.  I thought, what's the hurry?  Berry said the location was prime.  And the price was good.  So what are we waiting for?  Besides, he had a hunch the government was going to implement a new wave of policies to curb housing price hikes.

And so, today was the day I single-handedly negotiated the price for my potential new house.  There really was a lot at stake and so much considerations.  I have stopped working for a while.  My business hasn't exactly picked up.  We could be overstretched with a new place.  Anyhow, we went ahead and the owner accepted our offer!

It felt like a dream.  Is this what God has in store for us?  I certainly hope so.

His "I'm just a boy" Days

Me (singing): Joshua is a doughnut boy, Joshua is a doughnut boy
Joshua is a doughnut boy, a doughnut boy. (x2)

J: I'm not a doughnut boy... I'm just a boy.

Improved Gross Motor Skills

Used to be, my little boy could only go backward in this Little Tikes toy car.  Now, at almost three years old, he could not only move forward but make u-turns and left and right turns in this car.  How he has grown...  Still, little babies and toddlers are the fastest-growing creatures on earth.  I'm so amazed.  And I give you praise, my Lord.

When the Daddy is Away

Dislikes being home alone and having to drive J, all the way to Tanjong Pagar to attend school, alone.
