In an unusual way, our completion date transpired via a telephone call rather through an official HDB letter.
I have been religiously checking on 'My HDB Page' - an online HDB e-Services, for the last few days and there is no indication that the resale complete date has been scheduled. The last check at 5 p.m. still showed the same old status where the resale application has been approved.
What's a synchronicity!
Yesterday, I was checking with another friend who applied for resale flat and he had been scheduled for the second appointment mid next week. His 1st appointment with HDB was two weeks after ours. He received an official letter from HDB about three days ago. That is, supposedly, the standard practice - buyers/sellers will be notified at least a week in advance.
At about 5.45 p.m., I received a call from Mr Wong - the seller's agent, informing me that HDB has scheduled the resale completion on Monday, 9 June.
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! A check at our mailbox showed no letter. Ah, and within an hour from my last online check, the status has changed.
I am filled with joy - happy that the wait is finally going to be over and we shall be closer to our Reiki Sanctuary. On Monday, at 4 p.m., we will be officially signing the last of the resale documents, making the full payment and shall be handed the house keys.
Ah, and as the excitement settled, it brings sadness too. Suddenly, everything about Hertford becomes large - the air, the space, the wall, the ceiling, the smell, the noise, the light - each of her energy reaching out for attention. The missing-you feeling intensified and I just have to cry for her, again.
