Coming to anniversary date soon!

Sometimes last year, I was a bit busy with the house...


I remember I was so stressed over contractors.. ordering things, getting things come on time and coordinating the jobs with contractors.


We made the fastest "house move" record with complicated requirements..  especially on the wiring part. It is the most headache part of all!! So make sure you get 1 good electrician who has enough time for you and do not have many jobs at the same time. When he focus on you, your schedule will be followed through... :P


I will make my anniversary entry soon.


Our progress. 


Our living and dining room have furnitures now... flashback....we only have 50k to spend so we decided to leave out the furnitures... I have specific requirements for furnitures and lighting so I prefer to live with nothing than getting something not to my vision.... :)


It is still not perfect though. we have limited budget so it is going to be sometimes next year before it will look like my vision.


I just completed my study area last night.. our family area quite big which is also one of my favourite space in the house. The original plan is to use all white IKEA furnitures, but IKEA furnitures in Malaysia is SOOOOO expensive! back in singapore it is so affordable!



So since study area is very important, I have to substitute it with a cheaper version. I hope I can replace it soon!

Garden

I have stopped maintaining the garden as I could not have what I want (due to limited financial budget). So terukkan!


Lagi satu, I am just busy with other personal things and careers, I seldom have time at home even during weekend!


Bau busuk


ha maghrib smalam ada, tapi sekejap.. It is more seldom that when we first move there. It did not bother our activity at all... tak de la sampai weekend kena pegi rumah kakak ker pegi window shopping ker sebab tak nak bau... haaa tu memang langsung tak dek ya! weekend kalau boleh memang suka duk rumah tapi akhir taun ni banyak lak aktiviti social!



The quarry thing...


Dulu tak berapa annoying sangat hal ni. I pun bukan environmentalist sangattttt ...


TETAPIIIII....... kalau lalu nak pegi komuter, sakit dada I tengok bukit bukau tu kena korekkk.... I think too much maybe. But I want the Majlis Perbandaran Nilai to STOP this.....


Dalam alquran ada sebut kenapa Allah jadikan bukit bukau, bahawasanya bumi ni dulu bergegar, dan Allah jadikan bukit bukau dan gunung ganang sebagai "ala lupa word yang di guna dalam terjemahan" tapi lebih kurang bermaksud, pencagak supaya tak bergegar...


I know the quarry company bukan muslim punya company, mana laa depa tau gunung tu Allah jadikan untuk apa ye tak? tapi yang meluluskan tu aku guarantee sure muslim!


ha ok da jumpa ayat Quran tu......

surah an-Nahl ayat 15 yang bermaksud “Dan Dialah Allah yang telah memasakkan gunung-gunung di bumi agar bumi itu tidak bergerak dan bergoncang bersama kamu”. 



Kalau ko korek bukit2 tu jahhhhh, nanti jadik bencana alam acaner jahhhhh oooiiii!!!!!




Tolong sapa2 yang ada power kan MPN tu kasik share sket surah tu! Bila aku tengok quarry company tu upgrade bangunan dia syantek2 alamak ni macam semua bukit bukau tu dia nak korekkkk.. dulu bangunan dia cam nak runtuh jer kannn....


Tu lah dia yang aku tengah tensen skarang..


Bau busuk is something you can eliminate in no time. but natural disaster caused by human is the real threat to PAJAM ok!



How do you tell this to non-believer. It is something that has not happenned. Arghhh tension tension!

Update sekitar Pajam after 10 mths!

I'm sure mesti ada yang nak tahu perkembangan seterusnya selepas 10 bulan plak tinggal di sini kan?


Bau Busuk


Sangatlah jarang sampai tak sedar.... Tapi rasanya jarang sangat dah. Dan kalau ada pun sekejap2 jer... Begitulah, positively you know it will be dealt or will be resolved, so it won't haunt you la sangat... It definitely did not haunt me as at now...



Traffic


Dah semakin ramai orang2 middle class tinggal di sini (Pajam/Mantin) so traffic banyak sket pagi. Coming Nada Alam, I think it will be worst. But years to come, I think they will do something about the road tu lah... The election is 5 years once so ada chance the residents could give some threats to the wakil rakyat la kan huhuhuhu.....



Yang paling tak best depan komuter tu. Kalau 7am or 7pm plus, memang panjang gila... So alternative ways is exit via bandar mahkota... traffic jam cuma di batang benar "KTM bridge" tu jer....



Selalunya that's my route lah.




Komuter


I know some days I will appreciate this facility. Memang pun! Di sebabkan traffic jam di sg besi and depan komuter batang benar tu, I amik komuter now ni... Bukan I saja tapi ada jiran Ivory Villa pun sama.... Cuma kalau ada appointment with client terrrrpaksa la drive....


Kalau I amik komuter 713am dari batang benar, I akan sampai KL sentral about 8am, tukar LRT - a few station to kerinchi dan jalan a bit , sampai ofis 820am... Hebatttt sangat awalllll jugakkk kannnnn??????? suker kak ton.


jangan lupa pakai touch n go card yer :) sangat convenient.. ngan smartag2 skali i masuk dalam handbag... haha...



Apa yang paling pening duduk pajam????


1. bila kawan nak wat reunion kat bukit beruntung
2. kalau ada job offer kat factory bukit beruntung walaupun as a GM tapi tak dapat amek sbb camner nak report work at 8am kan? ada yang terbeli second house kat bukit beruntung kang...
3. once in a while i wish ada shortcut yang terusss ke PLUS highway since i tak pakai LEKAS.. lekas best kalau nak gi seremban....
4. kalau nak gi nursery (garden) kat rawang.. huhuhuhu i jumpa satu nursery yang best kat rawang tapi nak re-visit cam malesssss.....


ha tu jelah... masalah nak connect ngan bukit beruntung and rawang....



How about kalau nak pi mid valley and ikea, curve, etc???


1. mid valley - naik komuter settle! actually dulu kitorang punya second choice of "house to be called home" is somewhere kat jalan reko, bangi and selling point of that house is 20 mins to mid valley.. station UKM, actually jauh 2 stations jer ngan batang benar!

2. ikea and curve, I use nilai utara highway. i banyak kalik juga pegi ikea and curve ok jer distancenya abt 1 hourlah. Tak  ada la cam malasss sangat....semangat jer! kalau nak pi bukit beruntung tu yang kurang semangat sket....

3. puchong and putrajaya or bangi, memang tak ada masalah la sangat....every now and then I pergi bangi to frequent the spa or to meet friends... sometimes i go to puchong to window shop lights and furniture....

The backyard project

After 10 months!

....Barulah duit or cash flow balik pada asal.. haha! Ye tak malu i nak mengaku sebab kita ni semua manusia kan. Apalah sangat nak menunjuknya, sometimes i terfikir juga, rumah di kubur nanti di sendat dengan tanah2 saja... huhuhu....Back to the topic, kalau idak asik2 over budget... banyak project tergendala... Alhamdulillah rezeki dari Allah.. Tak berhenti2 bersyukur.. Dapat beli rumah ni pun cam unbelievable sangat...... bangun pagi, balik kerja nampak rumah macam "How did we do this? masyaAllah syukurrrr"...

I dah beli batu bata untuk buat vege beds last sat. Punya bertahun malas nak plan. Since baru dapat bibik baru ni, adalah masa terluang sedikit. 

Hari ahad baru free nak buat itupun masa hujan rintik2... teringat blog abangtam.blogspot.com dia selalu citer lepas hujan lembut tanah.. so mulalah menyangkul petang2 buta tu dengan hujan rintik2... 

Dapatlah pindahkan daun kari and the tembikai kuning sprout yang kalau lambat lagi, harus mati kot sprout2 tu.....

Tak cukup rupanya bricks putih tu. Tanah pun tak cukup... (I dapat inspiration how to do the gardening dari salam2benua.blogspot.com) so kena beli lagi nampaknya untuk pindahkan semua pasu2 tu. I nak start semai cili padi kecik tu jugak.. cili padi kecik kalau buat sambal belacan baru best.

Masa I menyangkul dan menyendat2 tanah nak bagi pokok daun kari tu tegak, teringat I, jangan lah kita menyombong pada bumi, kelak kepada dia lah kita di tanam... sayu plak bila I amik tanah buat sendat pokok tu macam lagaknya menyendat mayat di dalam bumi.... huhuhuhu.......

The backyard furniture.

I was doing some window shopping at Nilai 3 (Gawd I love my place sebab sangat dekat gi Nilai 3 ni hahahaha)...bila i ternampak kedai rose garden ker haper... best bunga2 nya and the vase sebab sama kasta lagaknya dengan SSF. So takyahlah I nak pi SSF gitu. Kalau idak pening I berangan nak kena kumpul duit gi SSF. 

Dan di kedai yang sama gak I ternampak outdoor furniture... Aiseh, u know how much? 750!!! complete set. That beats IKEA price anytime but mmg nampak cam mahai la kan... it was on offer. Original price of cos lah 1k over kannn... Cuma I have to buy the "parasol" (cam tu ke spell) from IKEA which is about 200. tak silaplah.

Boleh di pertimbangkan. Now at least I get an option. a cheaper one... cuma I still cant figure out if I should cement the backyard tu dulu or just leave the grass, or lay bricks?? insyaAllah I will get the idea soon. I usually will have that lama-kelamaannya. 

Sesungguhnya project2 rumah ni buat I lebih banyak bersabar dan tak gelojoh muahahaha.....

Some updates!

Career wise, things are getting better.


Though I am good at governing, but it is not a popular job. Business and projects are still my favorites so far. I got adrenalin rush to close a deal!


Anyway.


I owe some pics.


The sprout!

 

Tembikai kuning insyaAllah.. But I have not decided how to transfer these to the ground... I have no idea how to make the kitchen garden look nice! Besa la I take longg time to make decision over simple things like this (for the house that is... career I am more decisive)..

 Kitchen garden....


My new lightings... for 9 months I have been checking the price... tak mampu....one day nak beli aircond (cheapo one of coz!) singgah sat and taraaa! it was on 50% discount! my husband was in his good mood so kita tangkap 2 sekali. No more dangling wire!

 
Lepas tu baru lagi best buat makan2 and gathering kat rumah.. Lebih kurang 5 kali gathering with dangling wire!! now baru ada lampu hiks!

 

Tak reti nak rotate, sorry... and rushing ni curik masa lunch. 

Currently I am obsessed with outdoor furniture and considering to put one just outside my kitchen... but still very pre-lim, tak ada idea yg semenggah lagi!

 How come white looks better every time?????

 Not bad. but tak rustic sgt kannn...

 can be considered...

 2nd option.

 I actually love the chair.. Looks good in the pic not so much outside (IKEA)

Modern look. I am dying to do something for the "small" backyard! Let's see how it turns out yah!

Vege/kitchen garden...

Hari tu ada orang kasi tembikai kuning. I remember when I was small, mak aku sibuk naaa carik tembikai kuning, dan tak makan tembikai merah.


So i determined to try to plant it.. I mmg tak pandai tapi i nak cuba...


Tak lama lepas tu dalam 2-3 hari, aku tengok... tadaaaaaa timbul sprout dia!! wooo hooo!


Best day ever.


Cumanya, now I have to think camner nak transfer to the real vege bed....


Nak transfer pokok limau, kari, pandan and serai jugakkk.. I need to plan the garden.. stress jugak sebab takut turn out not what I imagine how it should be.....

Kringgg...kringg....

2 weeks ago we got a call to say that "now we are ready to install streamyx in your house"..


huaaaaaa!


So bolehla alarm pun connect to the nearest police station..


and wireless internet!



No fiber optics though just normal 48kbps saja.......



My neighbor also very happy haha! Kitorang pasang selang sehari gitu...lol!

Choosing a unit...

Sejak pindah, Alhamdulillah dah banyak juga buat makan2 di rumah baru ni... kalau selalu tetamu datang rumah banyak rezeki kan?...Paling best is actually masa buat buka puasa dan solat terawikh berjemaah dengan family, makcik dan sepupu rapat... My niece ada buat video and pasted in the youtube. Please have a look. For a 17 years old gal, she is quite creative kan...?

The recent one that we had, it started with kawan2 rapat office nak datang, lepas tu just 2 days before the day, sedara mara plak nak turun dari Singapore, then my sedara dari Seremban, then kawan sekolah and the list just goes on and on. Maka ramai juga yang tak dijemput disebabkan nak simple punya pasal.

 

"Nak simple tapi ada khemah" - is the joke of the day semalam yang aku kena jawab... hahaha...

 

 

Hakikatnya sebab kita tak ada sofa dan rumah tak banyak kusi, so terpaksalah rent a tent muahaha...

 

My criterias for the unit.

 

Bila kawan2 datang, soklan yang paling suka di tanya, "berapa harga rumah ni". haha camner nak jawab tu? So I cracked a jokelah, rumah ni dapat hadiah menang slogan nescafe... muehehehe. ingat tak dulu nescafe ada buat peraduan menang sebuah rumah... memang pun I masuk peraduan tu sebab nakkkkk sangat rumah. Teringat I pulun beli pek nescafe untuk bukti pembelian... hahahaaha

 

 

Masa I umur 20an, I pun dapat swatch wrist watch menang saguhati peraduan nescafe gak..sebab tu aku suka ikut peraduan nescafe.... :P

 

 

Oh, lain-lain topik plak antaranya, "Eh bagus rumah ni depan tak ada rumah lain... " OOOOooooo yang itu memang one of criteria for me to choose a unit. Mesti tak ada rumah depan rumah I. Nak parking susah, dan bagi I , payah bukak langsir kang.... lagipun kalau anak I bergaduh, bukan jiran sebelah jer dengar, jiran depan dekat 10 unit lagi dengar kakakakakaa..... Baik avoid ye dak?...Dan kalau nak tau, criteria ini di mulakan dengan my father. My father choose his house mesti tak ada rumah lain di depan... mesti either padang , surau or seangkatan dengannya...3 of his houses gitu..

 

 

Then bila my sis beli rumah, pun sama.... tak amek yang blocked with another house.... my brother jugak terikut2...punya stress nak dapatkan unit yang tinggal satu jer, which is tak ada rumah depan rumah tu... berhari2 lamanya dia cuba nak holdkan unit tu sampai loan dia lulus... ehehehehe....

 

 

Even, rumah sewa I sebelum ni pun I pilih yang depan unit tu padang.. hehehe.. sabo je la kan....

 

 

Lagi satu, mengada2 lagi criteria,  kena ada lampu jalan depan rumah tu, so tak lah gelap.....

 

 

Lagi satu influence from our father... Rumah kena ada surau. Senang nak solat sama2 dan senang orang nak datang solat...my ex-staff kata, "aik dalam rumah pun ada surau"... sebab dia tak paham pesal nak ada surau dalam rumah, kan ker boleh solat jer dalam bilik masing2... hehehehehe.. memang pun kitorang solat kat mana2 bilik. tapi solat jemaah , mengaji buat dalam surau ni... macam orang putih punya reading room lah konon...kan. specific for reading or relaxing. The surau project ni belum habis lagi. sekarang ni temporary jer. Kalau boleh I nak buat macam ala masjid nabawi cum library... tapi budget tadek now hehehee....

 

 

Gardening

So far, only serai, pandan, limau dan curry leaves jer ada. muehehehe.. I am dreaming about buying a BIG pot for these plants.

Pictures later.
