house values

I found some brochures dated back in 1992 - 1994, those were the house brochure my brother collected years ago. They were Sime UEP projects - which is USJ area now. Back then, the price for brand new double storey link houses 20' x 60' = RM 112,888 , 22' x 75' = RM 143,888. freehold land, interest rate BLR + 1.25 ( 9.50 %). Today, after 15 years, the Sime UEP USJ area is already a crowded, well developed area, with good amenities as well. The second hand values starts from RM250k and above. I invested mine in year 2000, up to last month - I always commented that I did a wrong investment, though I am contented with what I have. Now, I think back, with RM200k , I can never be able to buy a landed property in Klang Valley liow. My house is RM300k after 9 years. Since I'm renting it out , it's a passive income, a good debt. For my portfolio and lifestyle, it's not a bad investment decision :) , because when I've cash on hand, my hands get gatal, I'll spend lavishly on things that I don't need....so forcing myself to 'kong' house , to own a tangible property which 'may' hedge against inflation is wiser.

my first church camp

It's school holidays , 2 weeks break. lesser cars on the roads during office peak hours, plus most of my customers are on leave, no meetings at work during this 2 weeks, indirectly , my work schedule seem a bit relax now , I'm liking it of coz , hehehe.... I'm preparing myself to attend my first church camp, it's the Young Adult camp , will be held in Malacca. I'll be there from Sunday to Tuesday. The theme is 'Making Better Choices'. This is a good topic, all of us need to make decision from the moment we buka our mata... It's June liow, half of the year has gone by , I reckon it's a busy year for me ... I really am looking forward to spending quality time with My Lord, hearing His voice , receiving the messages He has for me ... Hope I'll enjoy my first church camp , hehehe....

moving .....

I Thank God that He blessed me with a CRV , I really loves my sweety, she fit into my lifestyle perfectly well. Next, I also Thank God for giving me a tenant.... yea, Bahija is now a landlord, I moved back to stay with my lovely mummy, rented out my house to a tenant from PG. For the past 12 days, I was so busy packing , cleaning house, unpacking etc ..... May 31 - I handed over my keys to the temporary 'owner' , hope he takes great care of my house. Aii, it's hard to let go, I was reluctant but that's a good decision, extra income. June 1 , Bahija is officially back to Tmn R .... I'm getting fatter liow, as I've got home cook meals , breakfast all prepared for me , yea , such a blessing to have a great mum :) The only thing I would missed a lot is the little private space I have whenever I'm back to my little house, I could do whatever I want in my own little house , with no interruption... well, guess I'll just have to figure out another way to unwind privately ....anyone has any empty condo or house to let me unwind sometimes ????
