买房子 II

I like Michael Jackson, but his death didn't really affect me. He is just one of the many pop music artists that grew up with me during the 80s and 90s. As other bloggers are mourning his death, I'm trying to get back to my normal life after a 3 days adventure in Chengdu. An important task that I have done in Chengdu is to help my 亲爱的 to purchase a studio apartment in a new condo project. The unit costs about RMB160,000, and the down payment works out to be RMB50,000. 亲爱的 said she has RMB20,000 in her savings and ask me to help her with RMB30,000, about S$6,400. I can't think of a good reason to turn her down, especially when it looks like a good investment. The keys would be ready in 3 months' time. Honestly, can I say no? We've come a long long way together, and I hate to disappoint her. On the bright side, she didn't expect me to help her with the full amount, since she knows that I am just a 打工仔. The monthly installment for the loan is about RMB800 per month for the next 20 years, and she promised me that she's going to Shanghai with me to set up business there, so that she can make enough money to service the loan. My 亲爱的 is very proud to be a landlord at the age of 22. The other thing that she's proud of is to have a 老公 that provide her with financial support when she needs it.
