Mandy's Marriage Registration -030309-

Mandy, my colleague, manicurist and friend marks the beginning of her new life with her husband on the 3rd of March 2009.

I was so freaking tired because the night before i went to the driving range and hit 200 balls. If that wasn't enough, i was craving for Guinness draught after the game! So, i went and had a couple of pints before heading home for rest. When i reach home, it was already 2+am. Damn!!
I was suppose to wake up at 6.30am in the morning because Somnus was suppose to pick me up at 7am to do her make-up.

Mandy woke me up at 6.30am and i had to force myself up to get ready and dress up. Somnus only pick me up at 8am. He was stuck in the jam for 1 hour from USJ 1 to Sunway. wtf!?!?! We only reach Mandy's place in Kepong at 9.30am. Omg!! The ride it's as if we're from KL heading down to Ipoh. We're suppose to reach the temple at 11am but the 3 of us was so hungry, we decided to have breakfast before going back to her place to do her make-up. Obviously we know that we're definitely running late already, so, we had a quick breakfast and went over to her house so that Somnus could help her do her make-up.

We reached the temple at 11.15am and got a queue number. I was surprised by how things work there. It's my first time attending marriage registration, so i was pretty shocked.

While waiting for their turn....

The happy bride!


It only takes you 5 minutes to be husband and wife!! I mean, it's just like a Vegas drive-thru wedding! *lolz*

We went into a room, and a lady came into the room and asked the bride, groom and 2 witness to pass around the marrige certificate for everyone to sign.


And after everyone signed the marriage certificate, the lady took out a book and did her ching-chong-ching-chong which i can hardly listen to a word she was saying. Duh!! It was in Mandarin, and obviously i can't understand the language, but it was impossible to understand her at all, even the simplest one. I swear all i could hear is ching-chong-ching-chong!!


Mandy was so touched and she started to tear the 'Tears of Joy'

But basically, the ching-chong-ching-chong she said were the vows and the important questions, do you Ken, take this lady, Mandy, to be your lovely wedded wife?? And vice versa. And at that moment, i don't know why, i was tearing as well...*swt*. I mean, it was such an emotional moment, when it comes to the 'I DO'. I felt so happy for them! They were so sure that they were each other's life happiness and to be spending your life with someone you love and who loves you back..it's so touching.


The couple exchanging their union band

and they're officially husband and wife..



Congratulations to the newly wed!!

Last 2 weeks, Mandy gave me a pamphlet showcasing a property in Subang Jaya. It was a studio duplex condo, Subang SoHo at SS19. I was really interested in it and since it was about time to get myself a property, the 4 of us decided that we should go and have a look at the show unit and enquire some details about the property at the sales gallery.

When i first step into the show unit, i totally and absolutely fell in love with it. It was darn pretty! It's simple and unique design, made the place felt so comfortable.


Check out the show unit here.


The price was quite reasonable i would say because it is located in Subang. If you want a fully furnished unit, it would be an additional of MYR20,000 and your unit would be a place called home. The furnishing basically covers up everything you need in a home. But the downside is that it only only has 1 bedroom (Duh!! Studio!!).

I personally thought that it would be a good investment for that property because i, myself intend to get it for investment purposes. Buying and renting it out. The area around it will be a commerce centre in the future because beside of the SoHo Subang, there's a high-end living condo, offices and hotel building and expected to be ready in 1-2 years time. I don't know much about property, but i predict that properties around the area will be selling like hot cakes in the future. I think there would be demands from the expatriates to rent a place to live since it will be a commerce centre.

SoHo Subang has less than 10 units left for sale because of its low density. And now all i have to do is to convince my dad to allow me to buy one of the unit. You know, parents are more conservative. Buying a 1 bedroom apartment for MYR280k won't make any sense to them, but if i can't find a tenant to rent the place in the future, i really don't mind making it my very own home...




p/s: i guess you're always right...
