it is expected to TOP in Dec 07! which is really soon! :D and to think i was really starting to lost hope... :,)
(the committed TOP is actually May 09)
went out with my sis today, and was pondering out loud how i am gonna manage two moves within a few months - cos my family is moving house in Dec 07/Jan 08 and i will move out once my place is ready, which i have no idea when. the developers and contractors were unable to give anything definite when i called to check some time ago.
so my sis said, why don't u ask someone? and i thot, ya maybe i shud call the lawyers again today. and so i did.
the lawyer said, oh incidentally we received a notice from the developers just today and need you to come sign some documents.
since i'm in the area, i went today. the developer had drawn down the last "column" before the TOP column!!! (see previous post "One more column!") AND together with the payment schedule was a letter that said, the expected TOP will be in or around December 2007!!!
it is in sight! finally and truly!
i had told Kris, rather sadly, that the best birthday present i wish to have is the keys to my place. convinced that it will not happen.
and now it might! well, at least i have a rough indication :o)
i immediately texted a few frens... that today is the happiest day in the past year and a half :)

Hi Grace...
u may not know me, in fact, I do not think u do. And I hope you do not mind me reading ur blog, but i must comment that it is really touching.
I heard about you and Bern during my training ( I am also in the financial services industry), but I only knew you guys as "the citibank couple".... it was only recently that a friend of mine told me about your blog, and I decided to take a peep.
I have personally never lost anyone so dear to me ( though I have lost dear friends to abrupt demise), but I can imagine how you feel. I am no stranger to the sense of loss and emptiness one might feel at a time like this, and not being able to see/hold/kiss/hear someone they love so deeply, ever again.
You have been very strong, well u still are, and I hope you continue to be so. Were I in your shoes I am not sure if I could have endured, and been as strong as you have been. I sure that Bern, from Heaven, knowing how strong you are, he would be happy for you too.
Do take good care of yourself, and I hope that you continue to pull yourself together. Also, may your dream condo be a safe and blissful haven for you. ...
