The processing was done within an hour or so, and the second appointment is scheduled to be on 11-March, which will be the day that the entire sale process is complete and we hand over the keys to the buyer. This means that we have about a month or so to vacate the unit. I will have to take care of the furniture in the house as soon as possible, whether to bring back to JB, to sell them off, or to give away.
As the agent thought that the marriage cert was required, she had told us to bring it along. So last night, i had to get it out from the drawer where it was buried deep inside, and as you might have expected, i opened it up and had a look... and then i felt sad.
You know, the irony of it just ate me up. It's the same with going to HDB - just a few years back, we were there as buyers, processing the purchase of the unit, with our hearts filled with joy and anticipation of a blissful future together. Now, bit-by-bit, it's like playing a tape in reverse mode. I have a feeling as if i am living my life backwards. First living alone again, then get rid of the house, and next will be back to "single" status again. Little-by-little, i am "undoing" the milestones in my life.
Yet, there is no such thing as "undo" in life, even though i wish there is. Undo is to have the things erased and as if it never happened; things are just back to before. But as i am reversing the things in my life, it can never get back to where it was before. Whatever happened had happened, and nothing, NOTHING is ever the same again. Things have changed, i have changed, he has changed, and life has changed. Everything will still continue to change, and i could only hope... no no, i could only ensure that the change is for the better.
Anyway, back to the sale of our HDB unit. There should be some proceeds from the sales even though not a huge sum. I don't think i'd be left with too much cash, especially after settling all the debts.
Oh well, i am not looking at earning profit out of the property anyway. My aim is just to get rid of it without the need to scoop out any money. Anything extra is a bonus to me. Therefore i am really grateful for getting a positive sale of the property within such short time.
