Having wrote a few stories before, but I am still got good at it. Thus have stopped for quite sometime already. But this time round, I have to share with you an encounter. Pardon me if it is not to your liking or I am not good at describing it.

I am not going to disclose the area where this happen. As for the contents, it's up to you to believe how real or how fake it is. Did not want to post this last week as it was still during the 7th month.

Ballot so many times, our queue number is (#@*!$@#(*. Never even been asked to select a single unit. This is all thanks to the "efforts" and thanks to HDB. Sick of waiting thus decided to go for resale.

It was another round of disappointment after having viewed so many flats, still unable to pick the ideal flat of our mind. My OC and me have been in search for resale flats, not sure whether this is the 10th or 13th times. We are not so fussy, just want to get our own home fast, but the price Vs. location Vs. the number of storey does not fall into our budget to make it our ideal home.

It was just the start of the 7th month Hungry Ghost Festival. Most mothers during this period will be calling up their kids to remind them
"Girl ar, tonight don't come back so late ar. Qi Kuek (7th month) just start ar"

This sound so familiar as my mother will always tell me this too when I was a young boy, but just a slight difference in the greeting . For me is "boy ah, ......"

Started the engine of my car and off we went, back to where I am staying, my parents' place.

Midway, I received a phone call. Took a quick peep on my iphone - another of those housing agents who still have not been hard at work to help me with my ideal home. Pluck in my earpiece and answered
Me: "Hello?"
Sharlene: "Hi, Mr xxx, this is Sharlene here from AAA Properties. Remember me? You came down and met up with one of my colleagues, Ken the previous time at our branch to seek for a 5 room flat."
Me: "Uh huh? sort of but I don't remember having met you."
Sharlene: "Yes, Ken has been very busy lately and could not really attend to you and thus he has handled your file over to me to take over. I have gone through on the criteria of your liking in your ideal home. So far, I think I have 2 units left which I will want to bring you to view."
Me: "Erm, ok in this case can we arrange again as I am driving now.I will discuss with my wife and get back to you on the availability of the date and timing, can I?"
Sharlene: "Sure sure."
With that, I just pressed on "End Call" on the screen of my new iPhone.

My OC: "Who is that?"
Me: "Ah another agent saying got 2 units want us to go view."
My OC: "Oh when?"
Me: "I told her we will arrange again"

In my mind, I am wondering how this Sharlene looks like. Are you bros curious as well?
