  • Nestled in Jalan Chempaka Kuning, Mr Cheong Boo Wee has been collecting antiques and artefacts since the early 1980s. He proudly displays his beloved collection inside his home and outside of the house hoping to foster a 'kampung spirit' in his neighbourhood.
    Today, it has become a tourist spot where people visit to take photos. That was how Mr Cheong accidentally created a theme park in his own neighbourhood.

    My late father was a good friend of uncle cheong. As a kid, I had the privilege of visiting this home quite often, playing with his many many pets and watching him share stories about his passions. Uncle cheong also gifted me my first guitar when he caught me looking at it. I thank you for the fond memories and generosity! Best of health and hope your family is well 🙏 - Shaun Low

    My dad used to work as a deliveryman in Jalan Chempaka Kuning, and I have helped him in many deliveries during my school holidays. I've seen Uncle Cheong's house before, such as the Spiderman statue etc. and was quite impressed by his collections as a then 16-year-old. To be fair, I saw his house back in 2018-2019, so not many statues were displayed outside of his house at the time. But his house had always stood out to me since the first time I delivered parcels nearby his neighbourhood.
    I have always wondered who the man behind the house is, and I'm glad I got to find out about him through this video :D

    Ppl here got nothing nice to say should just keep it to themselves. Collecting and hoarding got fine line. Uncle wants to enjoy and admire his collection, and find joy in sharing with others, also cannot? Some ppl in comments say he will burden his kids with his items when he pass away? Hello their family their taiji, you not his kid you care so much for what, uncle cannot just enjoy his items now? Or u jealous cos your father not as rich as him

    To those who wants to talk and type without thinking, let me tell you the difference. My mum is a hoarder who kept all sort of things without cleaning them or arranging them. No one can convince her to let go of anything. She keeps rubbish. Literally trash like food half eaten, wrapper, unwashed clothes, newspapers etc. While personally I am a collector. I collect miniature perfume bottle, figuring, movies, clothes, shoes, soft toys etc. I am not as rich and old as Uncle nor I have a big house like his. But my collection fill up my 4 room HDB and I am so happy seeing them when I am home. Like what Uncle said, that is life. Life is to pursue things that we like. People unlike us is becos your version of life is different from us. Or sadly to say that you do not even know what you like. I feel blessed like Uncle. And as we get older, we have to live simpler with lesser things. And that's why we are letting go. So that's the difference. Look at your own life first before commenting about other people fulfilling life.

    Uncle happy can already lah. As long as you never affect other people negatively then it’s fine, it’s your life. At least he looks at the stuff he boards and not like some old people, board because can’t bear to throw…
    Slowly downsize for old age (easier to walk around) since he already has the idea. Don’t think he cares much about the value. The parrots are cute.

Or will definitely make house look worse untidy n terrible. Unable to sit n relax to admire those lovely things n those beautiful birds in house🧐🦜🐦. Is a waste 😞🥴 . Hope this uncle can clear away those unwanted items n keep his place clean n neat. Such big n beautiful home 🏡 without knowing how to manage. Is sure a waste.🙏 Blessings to u uncle.

    only problem with this uncles house is if the people near him wanna put their home on the market... they prolly have to price their home way down to even get sold...prolly already depreciated and i think that poses a big issue!! i personally wouldnt wanna live nextdoor to a house like that... im pretty sure since its a tourist attraction theres not much peace and quiet
    but by all means live the way u want uncle! im not complaining but i wanna make aware the things that could happen to others by doing all that...

    • @joshualee8151
      @joshualee8151 11 месяцев назад

      also i wanna touch on this he a overboard collector not a hoarder... alot of it is decor and someone like me i hoard fishing lures/soft plastics... dont really need them but i still buy cuz i think i need/want it.... and end up not even using it and just collecting dust and space... but he is different when he likes or into something the uncle goes balls deep into it!
      and for the ppl who will bash me on what i said... homes dont get sold if their neighbor has horrendous paint schemes n what not on a house... it becomes an eyesore and really effects the price of the home or neighborhood.. if the prices does plummet from other homes then he is being greedy n unfair towards the other people!
      if the neighbors home was idk for example 5.5-6.5 million... i prolly only do a counter offer of 1.5 million max... which they wouldnt budge n neither will i... im not being harsh im just being honest... i really dislike peoples homes having marvel figurines or one piece n stuff all over the house! its totally fine for the den or a study room or even a area to entertain friends like a bar type of situation... i just find it very tacky! but to each their own right?

But my collection fill up my 4 room HDB and I am so happy seeing them when I am home. Like what Uncle said, that is life. Life is to pursue things that we like.
