Eden Heights Condominium

Besides attending the wedding ceremony,we also went to inspect the very+100000000 long overdue apartment that we bought a long time ago & still it is not properly completed.

D's pride & joy.. after 11 years from date of signing S&P...still not completed.
Our unit is on the 2nd floor with the curtains

Our unit is the one that has the curtains.

Green Heights shopping mall which is not far from Eden Heights Condominiums

Remember that saying???A new broom sweeps well...

Sister- in law supervising her brother- in law sweeping the floor.

D feeling happy with the purchase but frustrated at the non-delivery of most things that were supposed to be included in the purchase price. The price is supposed to include curtains,washing machine & dryer,tv,cooker hood & stove & 2 airconds.

Anyway,there are quite a number of unsold units if anyone is interested but a lot more expensive than what we paid for 11 years ago.

Nya meh cerita aku ke minggu tu...until somebody's children get married in Perth or KL.

Muk would be most happy to accept any invitation for any one of Sebugey's readers' anak's wedding......ke England agi ulih runding taja pan 12+ jam duduk dugau dugau dalam bilun. (Airfare,food & lodging provided would be most welcomed but in view of the Credit Crunch everywhere,I don't mind just the lodging being provided.!)Ha..ha..ha...

* Anang text or madah/nanya asoh aku..lapa Sebugey nadai update..enggai ke kening kitak ku tengkuk* ( ha..ha..meant for sida Mang,saudagar Anum & May,Naie..& others)

D & I were invited to the marriage blessing of Cyrill Eigensatz & Umang,daughter of DP Tan Sri Alfred Jabu & his wife,YB Senator Dato Sri Empiang on 25th October,2008 at St. Thomas' Cathedral,Kuching. The Blessing was at 9.00am & knowing that most roads leading to the Cathedral would be blocked because of the TYT Birthday Parade at Merderka Padang, Ini Christopher offered to drive us there. True enough most roads were closed but being Judy,she didnot want to give up so we asked 2 Traffic policemen who were standing by near St. Mary's Primary School for direction but they were of not much help. They directed us to another route but we decided to try out this other route passing St. Thomas' School straight to the Cathedral. The road was blocked but those who were going for the wedding could pass through the road block. A few of the wedding reception kaki tangan were at hand to allow guests through.

The Church Blessing was beautiful & was conducted/solemnised by the Dean, Aeries Sumping. YB DP Tan Sri Jabu was all smiles as he entered the church together with his daughterUmang, to give her away to Cyrill Eigensatz. The cathedral was packed & nicely decorated.

One of the 3 hymns sung at the church blessing.

Thanks,O God,for boundless mercy,From Thy gracious throne above;

Thanks for every need provided,From the fullness of thy love!

Thanks for daily toil and labour,And for rest when shadows fall;

Thanks for love of friend & neighbour,And Thy goodness unto all!

Thanks for thorns as well as roses. Thanks for weakness and for health!

Thanks forclouds as wellas sunshine,Thanks for poverty and wealth!

Thanks for pain as well as pleasure,All Thou sendest day by day;

And Thy Word,our dearest treasure,Shedding light upon our way.

Thanks, O God,for home & family,Where we share our daily bread;

Thanks for hours of sweet communion,When byThee our souls are fed!

Thanks for grace in time of sorrow,And for joy & peace in Thee;

Thanks for hope today,tomorrow,And for all eternity!
