From Soon-to-be to Now Mrs. Keir Blog

And so we've begun the journey to build our dream home. Let's take a look at the original HDB BTO we got: Model: 4 room BTO opt-ins : doors and sanitary fittings - which we deeply regretted flooring - none. Style wanted: Muji style Area: Mature estate I was still worried if the block in front of us would have blocked our view but that worry was cast aside the moment we entered our BTO. Simply love the view from our 30th-floor unit. Would love to get a 5 room unit since it will be a lot more spacious but it's a pity that HDB does not launch 5 room units in mature estates for some reasons so we have to settle for our 4 room BTO in exchange for the convenience of the location. In love with the view from our 30th-floor unit - view from the living room Living room  - really dislike the black framed windows Our 4 room BTO comes with the L shaped living room, meaning you there will be limited interaction between those who are in the living room vs dining

And so after a long 4 years wait, our BTO is finally ready for keys collection. To be honest we totally forgot about out BTO and was pleasantly surprised to receive an SMS from HDB to inform us of our BTO keys collection date. That was when we frantically tried to hunt for an ID. Ok to cut the story short, here's what happened on the BTO keys collection day as well as what we did for our "BTO Door Opening Ceremony". There really wasn't an official BTO door opening ritual or ceremony in fengshui. I guess this is just a Singapore custom. Though we do not have a religion, in particular, we just did it for an ease of mind. Love the  living room view from our 30th storey BTO view from our Service Yard BTO Key Collection Process at HDB Time took: less than an hour It was a very straightforward and easy process. Here's what you need to prepare, assuming that you are taking the loan from HDB. Identity cards Marriage certificate if you are buying
