The Johor Bahru Wedding and Home Furnishings Fair

November 16, 2006

In the past(this is what I heard), if a Singaporean wants to propose marriage to his girlfriend, the proposal would come like this "Dear, shall we apply for an HDB Loan?".

This line basically means, "I want to marry you" In unspoken English. Why?

Because only those who are planning to get married can apply for a housing(government flat) loan in Singapore. Single men and women irregardless of how much they earn are not eligible for this loan.

In Malaysia ,I am not really sure whether the same situaton exists. But I guess during last week ends Double (wedding and  Home furnishings) Fair , the organisers were thinking of SIngaporeans as a captive market because they combined a wedding fair and a home furnishings fair together.

Its not just simple furnitures being displayed in the home furnishings fair.Here are some of them:

 

there were beds(I dont know whether the sexy girls were free with the bed) 

Flat Screen TVs

Solar Thermal panels

 AUTOMATED gates

  Designer Curtains

  Designer Walk In CLosets

Designer Kitchens

Yes, My dears, they are big ticket items!

Whats surprising is that in the Wedding Fair, all the visitors are girls(I guess they are the brides) and at the home furnishings fair, all the visitors  were men(specially in the bed section where the two pretty girls were standing).

Another interesting thing is that a lot of the visitors were chinese and maybe even Singaporean Chinese. Maybe its true that the grass is really greener or cheaper on the otherside (of the Causeway Bridge)
