Exactly.. But I'm thankful that it's much faster compared to the past liao. Wait 3 months to get rejected, faint.

I heard from my dad, during his time is really ballot at the site... kenna which number = which unit determined by the small little ball...

That is what i called transparent. And this unit has since appreciated 8 times it's cost price...

I think if this queue in person happens now, the queue will start a few days in advance. Like trying to get JJ Lin and BTS concert tickets. 😂

The unit i was referring was built in 1984 at tiong bahru area...

So the pricing was probably even earlier?
