SINKING FUND... EMPTY POCKETS

You know what bittersweet is? Now I do. The meaning is so clear. Har har... but this wasnt that bad... Well.... I finally got the VACANT POSSESSION letter (the one that tells you... Gee we would like to give you the keys to the condo that you are killing yourself paying every month for but now... us POOR CASH STARVED developers need to SUCK you MORE $$$$$.... So this PLUS that PLUS that equals....) .... RM1776.63. That's how much I had to pay. Crumbs. I even remember the figure so well coz I watched the developer admin person count my blood earned cash.... and this was doubly counted by my salesman.. .WOW LOOKING AT HIM COUNT MONEY ... This guy is loaded. His smile is so "I'm an honest salesman" , remembers everyone by name ..... no wonder he is the top salesman there... unbelievable....

So it's SWEET that I got that darn VACANT POSSESSION letter to get my keys (not yet ... now I have to get ANOTHER LETTER telling me YES I CAN GET THE KEYS NOW).... its BITTER I'm starved of more blood earned money.... haha

The only thing that I'm a bit POed right now is the RM250 per quarter sinking fund. Gosh. Sinking fund = money to paint the exterior walls and pool cleansing. Great. Anyway, guess I am a contributing MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY.

Thanks for sinking me, SINKING FUND..... And I'm POed at the damn officer I called regarding the payment details. On the letter it says "CALL US FOR DETAILS" but when you call its like ... "HEY STUPID PURCHASE, ITU PUN TAK FAHAM.... AKU MALAS NAK LAYAN"... Dammit... take my money ... you should treat me like KING STOOPID - CUSTOMER IS KING!!!

That's Malaysian customer service for you. Anyway I cant complain much since he wasnt that rude... It was just the sound of his voice that made me feel that way.

HOUSING DEVELOPERS = Selling you a concept that will be totally different from what you purchase + EVERYTHING CAN before you buy to CANNOT or PAY MORE + GIVE YOU A BOX with concrete walls to live in and promise a paradise
PURCHASER = Poor middle class earner spends almost all his half salary on a "dream" home every month which will cost him more hair loss in more payments, renovation..... just to taste that new comfort

'Nuff said.
