SM

19.6.12 - it's 2:09pm, while I am penning this, JW is enjoying her chan hin mee at the table.  She just came back from school.

Finally, after 2 weeks of mixed feeling, at last, we will have our dream house. TH called just now , our bank loan is approved.  We decided to buy a superlink house in SM with exclusive facilities and tight security after due consideration. Somehow, I had got TH very excited about this property.  My initial reason was due to the kids.  I thought as they grow, they may need more space more privacy meaning a bigger room for them.  However, along the way, my reason was not only for the kids but for TH too.  Being a retiree now, I think this big decision will keep him busy and occupied for at least few years down the road. It proves me right until now as he has been so excited preparing all the paper work and he is actually enjoying every moment of it.  So happy for him.  Of course I am equally happy too.  I have never before make big decision and I never like changes.  But this time, I was indirectly given a kick on my butt to move on. I came up with the idea, got TH all excited and now my unnecessary worries seep in and the thought of backing out got into me like usual.  But how can I back out now when I initially convinced him that at our age, this is the time that we go for it and not when our age catch up and our enthusiasm and energy gets lower. More so, I have the fund to pay for the upfront right now.  He bought it.  Well, he will give me half of his land in Kuang for investment. With high inflation, it is wise that I should invest into property.  Though we pay a premium price for it, we have nothing much to lose.  It will be a dream house excellent for retirement. Let's hope we stay focus and stick to our intention by then. Properties do appreciate over time, hehehe....

Being a sentimental person, I think I will probably encounter some problems when I start to pack later on.  Hope I can compromise then.  As for now, I have a great mission ahead:)
