BTO

First post of CJtwogather! To record our journey building nest together.

🏡 #BTO was quite a long wait for us, with COVID happened etc, finally it’s time for Key Collection!

🔑 #KeyCollection was excited and overwhelming for us, as we aren’t sure if we’ve prepared the documents right. In fact, nothing much to worry, just discuss prior with your partner about the number of years for HDB loan (if you’re taking) and how much you both would like to keep in OA (max 20k) or wipe out for payment.

🍍 #rollpineapple ceremony was done on our key collection day. Chionged down from HDB hub to huat our house. 🍀

Till the next post 💖
