May 17, 2012

Results day- always an interesting one.  Good thing is that I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to think or worry about it.

On a side note.  Looks like we are finally moving to a slightly bigger place.  I have to say- I am a pretty cheap, typical asian but I just spent the best $400 of my life the other day.  We found a place we love and in the area we want to live.  We made and offer and it got accepted,  Then I paid $400 for an inspection on the house.  WOW- this guy was the most thorough guy I have ever met.  I learned more about the place we bought than humanly possible.  It was awesome.  Any of you out there buying a place- get an inspection- and call me for my guy.  I was so reassured that I was buying a great place after his report, made shelling out the deposit a lot easier.

For those of you who know me, you know I hate to pay retail- for anything.(June's friend Glo calls me Good Deal Gil)   I used to say that every person needs to have 2 main hookups in their lives.  You have to have a good mechanic and a good travel agent( 2 industries that can really rip you off).  I gotta say that I may add 2 more people to that list.  We were searching for a new home since before the cancer- it's been a long road and so happy that we finally found something we like after almost 2 years.  The other 2 people you must have in your life is a good realtor and mortgage broker.  When you are going to shell out that kind of money, you want to be able to sleep at night knowing that there are 2 guys that are working for your best interest.  Thank you Sterling Wong and Alex Pang- our realtor and mortgage guy.  You guys made it happen.  Sterling- you are the Jerry Mcguire of real estate- the silent assassin/pitbull of negotiation.  Alex, you got us $$$, which is always nice.  Especially at a low interest rate.  2 christian brothers that I would recommend to anyone and everyone because you guys are diligent and have amazing dedication and resolve.  And I get to move June into a place she loves where Rhys can grow up in. I am forever grateful.  Free cokes all around.

Ok off to work and then doc appt this afternoon.  Will post when I get my results later today.
