Local couple Lim Kopi and Tan Bo Jio have reached peak housing psychosis after their forty-fifth unsuccessful BTO application.

The pair, who have spent their entire dating life staring at HDB floor plans instead of each other, were seen vibrating with terror at the Toa Payoh HDB Hub.

"Sian ah, if I don't get this Jurong West flat, I think I just jump into the Singapore River and hope I wash up in a condo," said Mr Lim while clutching his 46th ballot slip.

Experts suggest that first-time buyers are now so traumatised by "Million Dollar HDB" headlines that they are voluntarily checking themselves into Changi Prison for the guaranteed shelter.

"Liddat how? My girlfriend say no house no 'piak piak', now my bird also want to fly away already," wailed a hysterical Mr Lim.

HDB officials responded by reminding citizens that "patience is a virtue," while simultaneously raising prices by another forty percent.
