I'm writing this post at home, while the Princess and the Pilot finish their Kumon homework. The reason for this sudden leave is that hubby's aunt last nite developed some pain in her side and the doctor they saw at around 11:30 pm advised her to be moved to a hospital immediately. We thought the hospital will run some tests on the heart and leave her by this afternoon, but it looks like she will be in hospital till Saturday!
Last Sunday we had an 'Open House' for our current home. This is something that works like this - you choose a day and time when you would have people traipsing through your home for a few hours while you stay at home or choose to be out. Since we didn't know what to do, we decided to be at home. And I regretted this! We were sitting around like fools while people looked the house over - opening cupboards and peering inside the bathrooms. I had decided that if we were going throgh this once more, we will not be inside the house while the Open House was going on. Luckily for us, there was someone who liked our home so much that he quoted the highest buying price and as of Tuesday we signed the papers to sell the property! By the calculations of the agents, since the buyer can start the buying process only after he finishes selling his current property, we are looking at a first appointment at HDB (Housing and Development Board) sometime in early Jan with closing the sale and the second appointment sometime in late February or early March 2010.

Now for us comes the hard part - buying a home. We still haven't seen any homes - we plan to see one tomorrow and hopefully some more by the end of the week. I have a picture in my head of my perfect home - lets hope the picture turns to reality very soon!
Since this is an update of selling a house, I'll do an update of buying a house once we start looking at properties.
