Dear Dylan & those who had experience with Mr Chia as your JP,
I have just confirmed him as our JP on our AD (Jan 2009).
May I understand more about his speech during the Solemnisation?
As in how fluent he is...
Is he more fluent in English or Mandarin, though I understand he is bilingual.
*****
To those who had just spoken to him or metup with him,
May I know how fluent is his speech in normal daily life?
Reason to why I ask this is becoz during the conversation which we just had, he seems to be not very fluent in his speech.
I do worry..
But I give him the benefit of doubt as I was wondering izzit becoz I had called him too early (9.40am)..
Apparently, many of us have not really woken up thou we may have reached our office in the morning.
We are human beings afterall...

To those who wants to find out more about his background,
I had asked him some personal questions during our conversation.
He is a Finance Manager in ITE.
He is currently in his mid-30s, married.
He has 4 years of JP experience, which it was mentioned to him that, he's the youngest JP.
He sounds friendly during the conversation.
I personally feel that he is a very responsible guy.
Reason being, a couple had "booked" him for the same day as my AD, but with no timing confirmed yet.
He asked for my Solemnisation timing and explained that if our timing does clash,
he will still give that couple priority thou no timing has been confirmed.
Of coz, he confirmed himself as my JP after the timing-confirmation with that couple.
This apparently fits in perfectly for my criteria of a responsible JP who takes the Couple as main priority.
Hope these give U a better understanding of him. =)

Reasons to why I did not engage other JPs (Not to mention name/s)
- Some may feel that U have booked him too early
- Some may promise U as your JP now but does not remember when date draws nearer
- Some meet U with very limited conversation-time (during meetup) and jump from one table to another (like speed dating) at the same place to also meetup with other couples. This definitely makes me feel that I am just one of the many many many. I dun feel important/special and may not be well-taken-care of. Would U rather spend 30 mins with your JP (who runs thru everything with U on the spot) or would U rather spend only 3 mins with your JP (there are couples who left the carpark within Carpark Grace Period & there are some who complete documentation via faxing)???
For me, the personal touch is very important.
