Making sense of a house advertisement

I used to surf Mudah.com to check on used car prices, land and house prices, just to update myself, not that I am in any position to buy. Sometimes, it is useful to have enough info to chat on whenever necessary, like when meeting friends or relatives who started on such a topic.

It was quite a while since my last visit. Anyway, spotted this house advert:

Corner Song House in Double Storey Choon, Ipoh...

To anyone else, I am sure it does not make sense. But to locals, I can easily decipher it as 'Corner Double Storey House in (Taman) Song Choon, Ipoh'!

Just wondering how it happened... surely most people can piece together such an advert in the right order (not necessarily in my order). Maybe, it was written in Chinese characters and another person just translated according to what was scribbled on a piece of paper... which was torn into few pieces! Does it make sense?
