My sister moving to Hougang

My sister finally decided to move to Hougang after the long struggles of almost 3 years. My sister and brother-in-law are staying at Choa Chu Kang, and every week, they need to travel twice to visit their beloved son, Joseph, who is taken care by my mother.
Initially, my sister has the thought of buying a 4 room flat at the same block as my parents. But, my father suggested that their flat to transfer to my sister name. Though my sister insisted to buy from them, but my father doesn't mind at all. To him, my sister and I are his only children, so he does not mind to give them the house. In fact, he had bought a 3 room flat at Ang Mo Kio under my aunt's name 20 years back. And, he has decided to put his name in that 3 room flat instead. My mother will continue to stay in Hougang, and my father will choose to stay at either place because he is running a provision stall at Ang Mo Kio, and staying at Ang Mo Kio is very convenient to him. He don't have to drive, just cross the road and there is his stall.

I'm happy that my sister has finally decided to give up her flat because it is very tiring for my parents to take care of Joseph day and night, and it is also very heart pain when Joseph keeps on crying when my sister and brother-in-law have to leave after seeing him during mid-week. I think it's good that my sister can coach him, and discipline him herself. My parents love and pamper him so much that he is very wilful sometimes, and want his ways. I'm the only one in the family that is quite strict with him.

I think both ends benefits when one gives in, so we'll stay close together in the near future. My sister had suggested to give me her bio-water dispenser which cost more than $1500. I really thank God as I always want to install, but drop the idea when i think of the price. God really bless Andy and me.

Now, looking forward for my sister and brother-in-law to get their flat sold, and move closer to us! :)
