Suay...

Suay (unlucky in hokkien), is really the right word to use for this post.

For the past few days, I've been calling up dunno how many housing agents to enquire about the EA they advertise in papers just to know the current housing market situation.

Last night, Colin ask me to compare pricing between hougang central & hougang ave 9 pricing (our next house will definitely be out of hougang). This agent from ERA (no offence to those from ERA) is really irritating & he better dun call me again.

He advertise 2 units, blk 9xx so I called to enquire. But the cash the owners are asking is really crazy, so he ask so many questions, I told him straight I'm looking at a few areas. This irritating fella (almost labelled him as idiot) ask if I'm looking outta Hougang, he nearly get fired by me, me being nice say "of cos I'm looking out of hougang area & we've yet to decide which area we want cos we just started looking for 2 days!"

Today he call again (lucky I use house phone not my handphone), in fact he call twice cos we're not home to answer the earlier call, heng ah!

It was close to 5pm when he call, nice timing cos Colin just knock out in his afternoon nap!

ERA: Miss, have you decided which area you want

Me: Not yet & not so soon cos we're not in the hurry & may not move afterall

ERA: I thought you've decided so I can service you

Me: *in my mind I've so decided not to let this idiot service me"* I'm still looking around, definitely not looking at hougang area

ERA: What areas are you looking at

Me: We're looking at AMK, bishan & bt batok *his reaction was "wah, so many areas" WTH

Whole conversation lasted around 10 mins, but seems forever to me, cos I really hate this kind of agent, who on earth will be in the right state of mind to make haste decision & he really ask a lot of fei hua (rubbish), the most ultimate move I make was just to hang up his call cos I cannot take it anymore. I dun have good impression of ERA agents & this fella just give me more bad impression.

I really hope he doesn't call again, if not I dun think Colin will have such patience to handle him
