weather after Chinese New Year and that dread dry cough
Chinese New Year is just over and the recent days are getting warmer.
Some days ago, I posted about my dry cough and it seems I'm getting better now..... The coughing is getting lesser and lesser. It could because I have been drinking lots of water and tea. Maybe is due to the weather... I don't know... Hope the cough goes away.

Cough... can you please go away!!!! I want to enjoy my Chinese New Year!

- wong chee tat :)
Date issued : 11 Feb 2015
Today, HDB launched 3,995 new flats for sale under the February 2015 Build-To-Order (BTO) exercise. These flats are spread across five projects located in the non-mature towns of Bukit Batok and Hougang, and the mature town of Geylang. This is the first batch of the 16,900 BTO flats that HDB has planned for 2015.
2To better help flat buyers plan their finances and flat purchase, from this sales exercise onwards, flat applicants who intend to take out an HDB housing loan will also need to produce a valid HDB Loan Eligibility (HLE) letter at the point of booking a flat. Previously, they only needed to produce the HLE letter when they sign the Agreement for Lease, which is four months after booking a flat.
February 2015 BTO Exercise
3The 3,995 new flats in this exercise comprise Studio Apartments (SAs), 2-room to 5-room flats, as well as Three-Generation (3Gen) flats, to meet the diverse housing needs of first-timers, second-timers, multi-generation families, elderly and singles.
4First-timers will continue to enjoy priority flat allocation, with at least 85% (for 4-room and 5-room flats) and 70% (for 2-room and 3-room flats) of the BTO public flat supply set aside for them. Eligible first-timer singles have the option of applying for a 2-room flat in West Edge @ Bukit Batok, Buangkok ParkVista and Buangkok Tropica.
5Married/courting couples who wish to live together with their parent(s) can apply for a 3Gen flat at West Rock @ Bukit Batok. This is the first time 3Gen flats are offered in Bukit Batok. Other multi-generation families who wish to live near each other in the same BTO project can apply for flats in West Edge @ Bukit Batok, MacPherson Spring, Buangkok ParkVista or Buangkok Tropica under the Multi-Generation Priority Scheme1(MGPS).
[1] HDB will set aside up to 15% of the SAs, 2-room and 3-room flats in a BTO project (subject to a minimum of 20 units each) for parents applying under MGPS. The same number of 2-room and bigger flats will be set aside in the same BTO project for their married children.
6Eligible first-timer families can enjoy up to $60,000 of housing grants, comprising the Additional CPF Housing Grant (AHG) (up to $40,000) and the Special CPF Housing Grant (SHG) (up to $20,000). With these grants, 2-room, 3-room, 4-room and 5-room flats can be purchased from $13,000, $108,000, $220,000 and $340,000 respectively (see Table 1).

Submission of HDB Loan Eligibility Letter at Point of Flat Booking
7Since 1 January 2007, all potential flat buyers who wish to take up an HDB concessionary loan must first obtain an HLE letter, to be produced when they sign the Agreement for lease, four months after booking a flat. The HLE letter provides information on the loan quantum that flat buyers are eligible for, as well as the monthly instalments for the loan, and helps to ensure that flat buyers are able to pay for their home without overstretching their finances.
8From this sales exercise onwards, flat applicants who intend to take out an HDB housing loan will need to produce a valid HLE Letter at the point of booking a flat, instead of during the signing of the Agreement for Lease.
9This move to bring forward the HLE requirement seeks to help flat buyers better plan their finances and flat purchase. It will minimise any disappointment should they be unable to obtain sufficient loan to proceed with the flat purchase subsequently, resulting in cancellation of their flat application and forfeiture of the option fee paid.
Advice for Flat Buyers
10Applicants are strongly advised to apply for a BTO flat in non-mature towns to enjoy a higher chance of success in securing a flat.
11Regular updates on the number of applications submitted for the various flat types/towns will be published on the HDB InfoWEB. Applicants are advised to check for updates before submitting their application.
12Applicants who wish to finance their purchase with an HDB housing loan are encouraged to apply for an HLE Letter for early planning. The HLE Letter will indicate the maximum loan that can be offered based on individuals’ financial situation. Applicants may wish to check their loan eligibility at www.hdb.gov.sg/hleapply.
Application for February 2015 BTO Exercise
13Application for new flats launched in the February 2015 BTO exercise can be submitted online on the HDB InfoWEB from today, 11 February 2015 (Wednesday) to 17 February 2015 (Tuesday). Applicants can apply for only one flat type in one town.
15For enquiries, the public can:
- Log on to esales.hdb.gov.sg; or
- E-mail hdbsales@mailbox.hdb.gov.sg; or
- Visit the HDB Sales Office to speak with our Customer Relations Executives during office hours (Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm, Saturday 8 am to 1 pm).
BTO-cum-SBF Launch in May 2015
16In May 2015, HDB will offer about 4,040 BTO flats in Clementi, Punggol North, Sembawang and Tampines. About 4,000 to 5,000 flats will be offered in a concurrent Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise. More information on the flats to be offered under the May 2015 BTO exercise is available on the HDB InfoWEB.

Thoughts for Feb 02nd 2015
I did not plan to write for this post. And there are some issues that I should forget and move on. But later on, I thought: Instead of forgetting about this issue, why don't I pen it down? And use it.
Okay, what is this post about? It is about my thoughts for Feb 02nd 2015. Feb 02nd is Monday.
So, what about that? What is so special about that day? A picture speaks a thousand words, so instead of writing details, let me show this emoticon.
Emoticon
Got it? No idea? Never mind, see the next picture below. What does the picture shows?
Disappointment. There are some clowns directly or indirectly causing disappointment.
Instead of letting disappointment has its way and leading to depression. So why don't we switch it around and say this:
Let us turn disappointment into opportunities! Yes, Opportunities!
