Show unit concept

Just to reminisce all the concepts and ideas... and for the lack of photos in this blog...I add some photos from the past. The show unit of a house.


What I enjoy to see...

 Master bedroom... the inspiration for the study table...

 Master bedroom different angle. I love that window 2 panel side by side in a corner.. in love with it.. woke up and what a lovely space and sight... agree?

This simple bedroom, I do not heart any of that. it is like plug and play...something I can do today with minimum budget.

 Kid's room... I think mine is nicer than this hihi.. perasan! but really... if i tidied up a bit wd be better... I heart that orange carpet though!...

 I never like the living room concept so I must say, i prefer mine .. i mean my design and concept still in my head, not yet able to do, but i can beat this...if i have money hehehehe...

I heart the carpet though. I can't find that design yet... I almost forgotten about the divider near the entrance but it make the whole sitting area small kan? I love BIG sitting room with no TV. So guest can just focus on the talking and catching up. I like that.

My children asked me the other day "why we do not have TV in our living room?"

My answer,
1. So my sofa will be all white and new for 2 more years at least...otherwise you all will sleep, eat and fight here... and then you all get too comfortable you all will watch TV allllll dayyyy....
2. Living room is a sitting area where we and guest or you and me can face each other and focus on a topic to talk. not TV as a tool to start a conversation... rightt? Of course I'm right, I am your mum. huhu....
3. I also think about the future, religion, and death (all this connected in my vision). I really do not like it bila pegi ziarah rumah orang meninggal, I saw TV in the living room, for some reason jenazah always being put next/infront/side of the TV console..design of living room in Malaysia memang cenggitu lah jugak, the heart of the house.... I feel it is so inappropriate though, and sad...Dun ask me why but this feeling is my feeling.... So I want to make my living room clean, to be appropriate for any event.... and furniture can be easily removed too....
4. My last reason, I betul tak suka bila guest atau orang2 yang lebih tua sedang duduk bercerita di living room, budak2 sibuk nak on tv tengok cartoon, very distracting, So I like to channel the kids to TV area, either in the kitchen where they eat and watch on their own and start their own conversation or TV area upstairs where they can be farrrr awayyy from orang tua bersembang yang kadang x-rated, kadang rahsia besar, masalah negara atau masalah keluarga... bila dah habis cerita nak balik baru panggil turun...... gitewwwwww.....

Update after so long!

Almost a year?

no? yes?

Sorry for those seeking this blog trying to find updates or infos, i have been demotivated ever since I ran out of budget to work on the house hehe..

The blog is supposed to discuss about other projects too but I guess my passion is more on the house so I get distracted for months.

So...what is new and how is it after 2 years plus now? coming to 2.5 years living in Pajam.

1. Pajam and the house

a) The bau thing - still there once in a while however it became a lot less, we have peaceful makan2 and kenduri and I do hope with so many complaints that the community made lama2 akan hilang.. see i told you. Problems do get solved even if it takes yearssssssss... but Malaysia is like that, we learnt to be patient kan....

b) lalat - i dah berbulan2 tak masak but last week i ada lah masak sikit pergi pasar sikit, memang kurang dah lalat tu...infact i tak nampak sekor lalat pun weekend lepas , musim hujan kot?...yang mengannoykan diri i ialah lipas sekarang ni....

c) Pajam Development service - taklah perfect, tapi mereka masih layan la gak walaupun tak ada warranty dah... kalau i complaint dinding i tu magic boleh serap air ..... sampai banjir living room. so mereka datanglah lepas dah remind 2 atau 3 kali.... dan 2 atau 3 weekend nanti datanglah dia..
I am adapting to the culture, tak ada nak cepat2 sangat... slow and steady nanti dia datang jugak, asal datang i happy.... huhu..

d) quality of the house... I am still thankful for the house.. appreciate the design, the  bedrooms etc.. tapi pintu2 toilet, pintu belakang kena hujan or air... kembang.... so... i am waiting for another budget to replace the doors... not all... just the 7 toilet doors and the back door. huhu.. can you see why i get demotivated, i have not started with enhancement project, but i have to fork out budget for maintenance and replacement already *cry*

e) The community - A LOT of improvement since we moved in 2013. we have RELA security guards now and barriers made from barrel. I am ok with that.

f) jalan raya and traffic - i think it will get better in 10 years time... but more housing coming up so the traffic jam is already worst now unless if you want to take LEKAS.. for me I cant coz I will hit grandsaga or SILK which is much worst than PLUS north south highway.

2. Review on product

a) Alpha fans - we bought 5, repaired 3.

b) Deka fans - we bought 3, no repair, change remote battery saja so far after 2 years

c) sink (whatever brand we bought the other day) - all ok tak ada rosak, bocor, tahan air panas, tak sumbat etc. (penapis dia gerek kan)

d) BEKO washing machine and dryer - after 2 years and heavy duty sebab anak i 4 tiap2 hari basuh baju, weekend sampai 3 or 4 kali round, still good!

e) oven, microwave - I lupa brand nanti i update. oven pecah cermin pintu due to heat.. microwave punya paper kat dalam tu terbakar so am waiting for me to be less lazy to buy spare part. so will not recommend this brand.

f) hob and hood - lupa brand but same family with oven and microwave, hood spare part patah juga , hob one of the burner not functioning maybe sebab i malas cuci selalu so dia sumbat. also will not recommend this brand.

My lessons learnt, sometimes cheap but good concept will work but in e and f it doesnt work for me.

Most important thing : Do I have any regrets buying the house? Yes and no.

Yes sebab the space is great, we like it that we have 2 bedrooms downstairs and sometimes bila i lepak kat sofa i, i bangun, i nampak nice view macam dalam magazine... so I thankful for that, even with cheap furniture bukan Lorenzo pun i dah puas hati tengok rumah i... kalau tetiba i ada budget letak wall paper ha lagi cantik kot hihi... (yang murah pun tak ada budget cemana tu haha)..

I like my master bedroom and my small walk-in wardrobe... it gave me the feeling of what i always see in the magazine. ya, hidup ni penuh dengan teringin bila tengok... tu namanya nafsu nafsi...tapi i suka... cuma i kena letak fan kat small walk-in wardrobe tu supaya boleh lepak lama2....

Kenapa no then ek?

sebab, sometimes bila i drive pergi keja, i nampak condo modern di bangsar, tercetus perasaan, tinggal kat condo pun best gak walau kecik.... tak yah kerja teruk2 kena bayar rumah bulan2.... hahahaha...... tu je lah.....yang tak bestnya....
