W.I.S.

Today started off like other typical Tuesday...I was in the bus listening to my mp3, when I thought I heard something about HDB Hub on the TVmobile, but the broadcast was too short to mean anything to me...

Upon reaching the office, I switched on computer, sipping at my brewed tea, ready to start the day with a game of freecell...then I suddenly thought of checking out HDB website, to see if there's any news of the JW wis...

Just as I saw the announcement on the site, my colleague shouted to me excitedly, that she had received an email alert from HDB (she was looking forward to the JW WIS too). With that, I phoned Ah Teng (who was with her bunny lah at that point in time) and quickly applied for halfday off...bearing in mind, my colleague's request for a copy of the application form too...

In less than an hour's time, I was in the queue...0292 was my number. The Indian lady at the reception was quite fierce-looking, so I was afraid of asking her for extra copies for Ah Teng & colleague...At Ah Teng's request, I proceeded to the counter again (hiding my own forms) asking if I could get a copy of the forms (careful to avoid the Indian receptionist)...Lucky the Chinese lady who attended to me the 2nd time was kind-looking, and I got two extra copies! Hee!!

Was quite disappointed to find out that not all the 98x blocks are released, calculated that there would only be 170+ units available...With my Q-no, guess I don't really stand much chance...Moreover, the keys would only be available in August next year...What's the difference between having a WIS now and a year later?
