Grand Celebration of My Mother-in-law's Eightieth Birthday


 My mother-in-law turned eighty years old ten years ago in 2012. The children organised a birthday dinner at Good Happiness Restaurant, Sibu to celebrate the grand occasion. The close relatives were invited to partake the joyous moments.

Time flies. My mother-in-law will turn 90 at the end of this year (2022). Planning for a celebration at the end of the year is now underway.

The group photo was taken before the eightieth birthday dinner.

Real Estate Malaysia - The Latest Jul-AUG 2022 Issue




 I have subscribed to Real Estate Malaysia for more than ten years. Last year when the  magazine celebrated the publication of 100th issue, being a long-term loyal subscriber,  I was invited to write a short sharing .

REM has been keeping me up to date with the developments of the property market in Malaysia. The magazine is rich in information.

The latest issue touches  chiefly on  short-term market and long-term market after the opening up of our economy . Both short-term and long-term markets have rebounded after two years of MCO. Little wonder that the market is flooded with enquiries for renting and buying of properties.

It is indeed a good sign!

Yoon Chuan & Esther Tang - Marriage Dinner Reception




 Mr. Tang Tiong Ung,my long-time good friend, invited me and Yian  to the marriage dinner reception of his eldest daughter Esther Tang with Ting Yoon Chuan.

The grand marriage dinner reception was held on August 30, 2022 at Kingwood Hall, Kingwood Hotel, Sibu. at 6.30pm.

Close to 500 guests turned up for the grand occasion to wish the newlyweds all the best.

Fine delicacies were served for the wedding dinner.Truely speaking, the foods of the evening were enticing and mouth-watering with big portioning.

Towards the close of the dinner, Yian went chit-chatting with her friends Wong Jin Eng and Kong Hong King. Hong King grabbed the opportunity to pull them for a group photo at the entrance in front of a big backdrop.

Together they posed for a nice photo with good posture. In the picture, they don't look their age (Yian on left, Hong King in the centre and Jin Eng on right).

I advertised a congratulatory message in See Hua Daily News. The advertisement carrying our best wishes came out on September 2, 2022.

Desa Putra Condominium, Wangsa Maju








 Desa Putra Condominium, Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur, was brought to my attention in December, 2005 by Eddie Wong, a Sibuian working in KL. He was then looking for a hotel in Sibu for him to use as venue to promote Desa Putra Condominium. It was through Meng Lei, the chief editor of Weili Bao that Eddie got in touch with me.

Eddie came back to Sibu for Lunar New Year in January, 2006. He fixed up with me to use Premier Hotel, Sibu  lobby as venue to promote Desa Putra Condominium.

Desa Putra Condominium project was half-completed then. On hand Eddie still had quite a few unsold units. He strongly recommended this property to me on the basis that an Sri Rampai PUTRA  LRT station was confirmed to be located  right at the doorstep of   Desa Putra Condominium . This was the project's strong selling point.

In 2005-2006, the property market in Malaysia was on the move to go up. The heat of property promotios was felt with agents coming in to Sibu  to promote projects in mainly KL.

Comparing with the property prices now, the properties back in 17-20 years ago were cheap relatively. Those daring investors moving in at the right time were handsomely rewarded.
