A place called home

I'm having the biggest headache in my life so far.. reason sebab nak beli rumah. FYI, aku tengah house hunting now. My husband and i dah tengok a place, a 4 story duplex yang memang tranquil and so la chanteks that we love it so much. I'm like falling in love with it straight away esp it's partly furnish with all the fixtures and fittings semua dah ada and it looks great. But i think it's overprice. For that price tag, we can get a semi-d in a nearby area. But my husband reason that the place suit our lifesytle does make sense. It's strictly guarded, so it safe for me who always work till late and furthermore my husband also selalu outstation. we will have our privacy as the unit face a lush green well taken care of garden . Oh i can keep on writing about all it's good quality as i really love it.

My sister sceptical about ths possible purchase as she think it's overprice as well. Also, the monthly maintanence fee pun not cheap.

FYI, my last property purchase is base on love at first sight as well. I bought it because the design is so modern with lots of windows and it look so different. I dont give a heck about value because who care, i bought it because i want to stay there not for investment. It sell out like hot cakes, sekejap saja dah habis, even when i have a secod thought as i want to change to different unit in front row instead of middle row after 2 weeks pun dah tak ada. Lots of people think it's not a good investment since area tu macam a little bit inside from main highway but not for me..like i say i bought it since i fall in love with it.

The house siap early last year and due to our busy schedule, we didn't do anything. sampai aku merajuk with husband since he didnt take any action and whenever i want to decide, he vetoed my decision..mana tak marah. aku dah put initiative to check things/contactors/ID but ada je comments dia, mahal la, tak cantik la etc etc. Sampai my sister cakap "kakni dah tak payah la check since kakni tak ada LOA to decide pun"..marah tak..

So after almost a year tak buat apa while ada some neighbours dah masuk rumah pun, aku dah tawar hati to stay there esp when some renovations are done badly jadi menhodohkan rumah yg originally cantik. In my eye, the original design is so unique but after some tasteless renovation, the once expensive house now looks cheap.

Last week, we decided to put the house for sale. Appoint an agent on Saturday and saw his advertisement on Sunday nite. After few sms and few attemps to nego, which i decline to turunkan price (not because i'm smart but because my husband tak bagi, if up to me i thought nak turunkan sikit as good gesture whc my husband think it's nonsense hehe).. the buyer paid the booking fee on thursday. I always know that i wont have a problem to sell the house. if i can fall in love with the house, i'm sure ramai lagi orang yg sentimental like me. It just that i didnt expect that it will be snatch from the market so fast..not even a week and at our asking price.

So i've proved the feeling does make a different kan..now if i sort of fall in love with this duplex, i'm sure in future akan ada orang yg akan feel that way kan ?? not that i want to buy it for investment..

Keep the faith

Do u believe that kindness still exist ? I don't, and that's for quite sometimes already until yesterday.

Had a late discussion yesterday since we have to finalize a board paper. Got a call by my youngest brother, Mi at close to 7pm. His motorbike chain broken on his way back and no nearby workshop at that area. Call my husband who's outstation in JB, since i dont know what to do. Expect him to resolve this kind of issues as usual.

I called Mi an hour later, his back at home and since i was busy at work, didn't ask much. When i'm back home, he told me that apparently a stranger, fellow biker had help him. Together they tarik the bike to workshop and what really surprise me is since Mi only have $30 with him, that boy lent him another $40 to settle the workshop bill. Imagine a stranger, Mi said as young as him, so i assume he didnt have much money as well, out of kindness and trust to another human being can be so kind to a total stranger. $40 didnt seems big to me now..but when i was young, just started working and dont hv much money, that $40 is my 1 week meal money.

Such generous act did touch my heart. Now i do believe in pay it forward..a little act of kindness is infectious..

To that stranger, which you might not be anymore, bless your heart boy..

Guilty pleasure

pssttt.. i wanna tell u. last weekend i went crazy. Woke up early morning, by 9.30am out from the house. Destination ? 1st is The Curve by 12noon, left the place with 3 paper bags. Next, The Gardens, can't remember the damage but got shoes that i wanted. Reason ? don't know la, stress i guess. I haven't take leave since December and my schedule was really hectic. I can feel that my body and mind is really-really tired.

I haven't work ths hard since my last company. The company that i love the job, the money and frens but has to leave because i know if i continue there, i might be a divorcee after 6 mths married hahahaha, who can tahan if the wife has to work till late nite everyday.

Now, i'm eyeing for a Chanel bag. That's my dream besides an Hermes Birkin. If i get it, i'll stop buying handbags for the rest of my life.. can ahhh ???

The Tigress

Happy new year.. Can’t believe that time flies that fast. Seems like only yesterday I returned from Dubai. I asked myself, what is my achievement in 2009. Seems like nothing. GOD..that’s depressing. To think that I actually did nothing fruitful for the whole year. Anyway, what bygone be bygone. Let’s start this new year with something.

I’ve made a list of what I want to achieve this year and paste it at my workstation. So I can remind myself of it every day.

2010 is tiger year. Chinese horoscope stated that it won’t be a good year for a tiger like yours truly.

I have many of tiger characteristic in me. It is a sign of courage, a fearless and fiery fighter, optimistic, straightforward, passionate and independent which truly describe me. While I can be quick tempered but considerate at the same time and most important is tiger are generally well liked because of their charming personalities..hehehe I definitely want to think that that’s true.

Oh another tiger characteristic that truly describe me is “tiger like to spend money and also to share it, can be quite impulsive spenders because they know that they can always make more” hahahaha..spot-on rite.

Anyway, the advice given to tigers are do not speculate or gamble, do not lend money and be patient at work. Hope I will remember this :-P

I gotta a feeling

Tonite memang good nite. Sky so bright. From bedroom windows, I can clearly see KLCC, KL Tower, TM Tower, Genting lights and best thing is Sunway colourful lightings.

A nite like this make me wanna go out and enjoy life, enjoy the freedom, enjoy the moment..forget about all those misery and sadness. Who says life is suck..

Bless the broken road

Today is all about emo...

Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye? Do you know that i was in love with a guy and the love is so deep that it still sadden me whenever i'm thinking of him. I choose to end up our relationship. I couldn't see our future together, can't see we grow old together. Despite the love, i just have to let go. True love doesn’t need to have a happy ending, because true love never ends. Letting go is one way of saying I love you. Till this day, he always have a special place in my heart.

And at the other side, my husband is waiting for me. His persistence truly paid off. I can't deny that he is the best person for me. I' so grateful that God blessed our broken road to lead us to a lifetime of happiness together.

I put a lyric of Rascal Flatts bless the broken road here and in my playlist. It specially dedicated ths to my sister. You will go thru the obstacle and find your true happiness..keep the faith

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
