Rain, chilly wind, comfy bed, good J-Drama, husband bringing home lunch and eating on the bed still wearing pyjamas. Ah, almost heaven.
As I mentioned before, I'm on leave today. (And planning on taking another EL tomorrow.. Blame on the depression I'm having right now.. Cheh).
I did nothing today but watch the full series of Dragon Zakura. The drama is so good that I kept on comparing it to those cheesy Malay Drama every 2 minutes (cheesy or not, I still watch them.. pfffttt). JDramas, there isn't one that couldn't make me laugh and cry at the same time.

Move on...
Groupies
From 8 to 5,
Home Sweet Home
Did I mention that the head of my Ministry reached his 58th birthday end of last month? The third top person has been promoted to his place (the second is also retiring this year) and my head of department is now the third top person which is in charge of the Ministry's finance..
Finally, one of the top management people remembers my name.. haha.. Oh well, it is a rare opportunity to happen when you work in the 2nd biggest ministry in the whole country.. Lucky for our department.. (Errr, lucky in this context is a very subjective word..)
Not having the immediate boss is not easy. It's freaking hard. And it becomes harder when the bosses... err.. *clear throat* full-stop.. hahaha..
Work was and still is very hectic. A few days after the accident, we had a meeting for 2 days in PD and I have not rest eversince. I have done the minute and report. There will be a session with the new head of ministry tomorrow.
phew..
February is coming to an end. March is approaching. The JKPAK cycle will start all over again. The second meeting is schedule in April. *scream*
I don't have an immediate boss, the unit I'm covering doesn't have one either. Ahh, imagine the difficulties.. I have been going up and down seeing the head of department himself everyday.. huhu
Kerja itu ibadat. Kerja itu ibadat... That's what I kept on telling myself..
***
I thought we couldn't make it for our movie session last night, but things turned out differently. Alhamdulillah, the tickets are not wasted. So Sanctum it is. I'm a hydrophobic. I was not comfortable at all watching that movie. Caves+water+darkness is not my cup of tea... It's a must watch movie because it was produced by James Cameron.. hehe
***
If everything ran smoothly, this year's Ramadhan will be our last in P17 Putrajaya. InsyaAllah we'll be moving to another neighbourhood. Anyway, it's still too early to mention anything. That's all I can say for the time being. The lips are sealed. Pray for us that we won't stumble upon any misfortune.. :) There are still a few months left. We have more time to save money. No bags, clothes, shoes, traveling, eating out, etc for the next 8 months.. huhuhu

Decision, decision #2
Groupies
Home Sweet Home
Deciding on which house to buy is freaking hard. If we delay, the house is taken. If we rush, we might stumble on problems that we should have thought thoroughly before making the decision to purchase the house..
At last, yesterday we went to see a house that gave us that "good feeling" when we entered it. The ceiling is high so the house looks so spacious, even though the house is currently tenanted, the tenant takes really good care of the house, it's a ready-to-move-in condition. The house is higher than the road level, the road in front of the house is wide, many amenities nearby and the price is within our budget.
However, the agent said an interested buyer promises to place the booking last night at eight. So we told the agent, if the buyer didn't manage to come, etc, we are interested and do contact us.
We waited until 9.30pm but no news from the agent.
I'm disappointed.
When we missed a house, there's always one or two bad things about that particular house that we can think of in order to ease our heart. You know, being sour grapes :) But this house, it's so perfect, we love it so much...
Oh, well, Allah must have had better plan for us.. InsyaAllah..

Bangi

Home Sweet Home
I always like B*ndar B*ru B*ngi..
Eventhough it's leasehold, BBB is always in our list..
Anyway, houses there are selling like pisang goreng panas.. Called the agent for the house advertised yesterday, the same answer received.. Booked!
In some way, it's scary.. People are so afraid of the insane price of property nowadays, it seems like everyone just grab anything which for them is a good bargain now.
You can't get a presentable double storey house below RM300K in BBB anymore.
Had a chat with an agent last night. And he gave us his piece of mind:
From our own observation:
D*sa P*nggiran P*tra is very expensive because it's the closes to Putrajaya and many bought there to stay for good.
Taman S*tera Kajang and P*ncak Utama Balakong are not bad too.. But there are so many factories nearby..
Went to S*ngai M*rab, the area is developing. There's a new rows of terrace house called Merab Persona. But it is not in a good area because the road is higher than the houses. The Semi-D there costs RM720K. Not liking the area, banyak sangat banglo besar tanah lot. Area tu macam untuk golongan pensioners. Amenities pun tak banyak.
We have 2 house appointments tomorrow.. We're started to get so tired from this house-hunting thing.. Praying hard that it'll be over soon..
And you can check the new Pekeliling Perbendaharaan Bil. 5 Tahun 2011 about G's house loan. For the pay we received now, we can get RM255K house loan. The problem is, is there a house selling at RM255K nowadays?
Btw, there's Pameran Hartanah Bumiputra from 7 to 9 Jan at Midvalley. So, let's go there..
It's 7th January 2011 and we are happily married for 17 months.. Alhamdulillah..
Till then..

BBB is a good investment. Renting the property won't be a problem too. Average rent for a double storey is RM1K. So don't think 18 times when you saw one that attracts you. Letting go means someone else will take the house.
B*ndar B*ru S*lak T*nggi is for long time staying. If you are thinking of selling it in 5 years time, the price won't increase much because the development there is quite slow.
There is something not right about S*ujana P*chong he isn't telling but he said so many of them wants to sell their houses. You can get a big, nice corner house at the price of RM280K..
P*chong Ut*ma is freehold but the land area is small. 18x65 at the price of RM280K to RM300K.
Band*r Kinr*ra and Bandar B*kit Puch*ng is developing fast..
House price at B*ndar S*ri P*tra is increasing like crazy. Same like BBB, you can't no longer get RM300K for a double storey. G staff mostly bought there even though the toll costs you RM4.20 a day..
Buying at L*EP is quite risky because it's a well known abandoned project by T*lam Corp, bailed by IJ* Land. Some of the houses are showing problems now. So, be careful.

Plans..
It's not too late to wish everyone Happy New Year, right? Happy New Year people!
New Year's Eve was spent sleeping but woke up a few seconds because of the fireworks then continued on sleeping.. Felt like an elderly couple..
New year, more plans to come.. I don't think it's lame to have new year's resolutions..
2010 was indeed a boring year for me, so I plan to give 2011 an exciting one..
At the end of last year, we fell in love with Bandar Seri Putra.. Yes, it's 30km to Putrajaya and almost 80km to KL but we love the neighbourhood so much.. It's nicely planned, it has school, suraus, KUIS is nearby and it's UML*nds. We went to UML*nd's sales gallery and asked for their upcoming projects nearby, the 450K terrace house is sold out and 2011's projects are clusters which starts at RM600K and Semi-Ds which starts at 700K.. *wipe sweats*
We have been to many areas 20-30km radius of Putrajaya and we want a freehold house so that it's easier to resell it, therefore it left us not much of a choice.. Kajang is just too hectic.. Freehold house in Puchong is either not in our range of budget or it's not worth the money because the build-up is so small..
And no, we haven't decided on the house yet.. Just the area for a start.. Hehe
For the passed month, we learned that in buying a house, we can never get everything we want. Of course, if we had hundreds of thousand in the bank account, we can just pick and choose any house. But we don't have that..
After sacrificing a lot through out the year being stingy and all, we are glad that we managed to focus on our most top priority. The traveling, the shoes, the bags, new gadgets, those can wait but the house, the longer we delay the higher the price will rise and the income we received won't make it to pay the monthly loan. Plus, a huge sum is needed for the down-payment, the legal fees, the stamping etc, etc. phewww
Second plan is get ourselves a baby. :) Firstly, we have to try the very best to breed our own, we'll go to the clinics, urut2an, medications modern, religious, homeopathy etc, etc.. And if it destined we can't get one, we'll adopt one. We are not getting any younger so we shall not waste more time.
Third is to shed 5 kgs. 5 kgs will do. I managed to retain my weight since April therefore in order to shed weight, I just have to do more activities OR to eat less and do more activities to make the plan achieved faster then I can make new plan later.. hehe
Fourth is to have beautiful skin and hair. I freaked out to see fine wrinkles near the eye and the hair isn't showing a healthy growth. I hate pimples and the black scars. So this year, I MUST dedicate myself a few minutes of 24 hours a day and a few days of 365 days a year for my beauty sake. I've started a new skin regime and so far, good signs are showing. Alhamdulillah..
Those are the 4 biggest plan for 2011..
Then I have a few 'small' resolutions like make full use of the daily book given by the G.. hehe
And of course, the MOST IMPORTANT one is to be a good ummah, wife, daughter, sister, friend and employee.. (Eh, the career went last.. hehe)
InsyaAllah..

The phone kept on ringing.. From house agents..
I can't even keep track which agent with which house. Silly me. Maybe I should make a file for it. The organizer are filled with papers already.
The past few weeks were filled with house-hunting activities.. Went to see the houses after work which I think is the most appropriate time to go to that particular area during peak hours.
Got myself seduced with Apartment Anggun Bangi in Seksyen 4 BBB. A little bit expensive for just an Apartment, around 250K. But for investment purposes, why not? I'm sure once it is completed in 2012, the price might come to about 350K. There are a few units of type B still available if some of you are interested. No, I'm seduced with it but I didn't place my booking. Still having a war of mind about it.
Whatever it is, househunting is very tiring.. We can't wait to get ourselves The House. With the pace we're going right now, maybe we'll have one early next year. InsyaAllah. But no rest for the time being until we find one.
Well anyway, the houses occupied by tenants are usually dirty and not nice. Maybe, just maybe the tenant purposely did that as a protest because they were asked to leave the house in order for the owner to sell it. I think the owner should at least, vacant the house, clean it a little bit and only then classified it. Last Saturday, Ma and I went to have a look at a house in BBB, occupied by tenant. Euww, we went in there less than 5 mins. Leaking, very dirty, small but then 295K. Crazee..
Since we know that the house we're looking now may not be our last, we better find one with better prospect to resell it later on for us to buy a bigger house. That is the plan so far. However, those with good prospects are usually so near to town which result to traffic jam and that cannot be avoided.
Yesterday, we went to see a house in B*kit M*wah.. The interior is awesome. The owner bought the house, renovated it and wants to resell it at 320K. The price is out of our budget plus there are no surau or masjid nearby and the road in front the house is very narrow.
So far we don't want to combine our loan for some reason but the plan may change, we'll never know. And we can't buy something so expensive because our incomes won't make it to pay the monthly loan..
Due to this activity, I've abandoned my daily jog and the plan to lose some weight is postponed. Don't go asking other friend whether I'm pregnant or not because I'm just fat ok :D hehehe

Setiap hari, tengok barang best, tak jadi beli sebab nak simpan duit, nak beli rumah..
Sebulan sekali, tengok orang pergi merantau sana sini, tak dapat pergi.. Simpan duit, nak beli rumah..
Terngiang2: 10% deposit (3% booking 7% upon signing S&P).
Kalau takda cash di tangan pun susah tahu..
Oh, a'ah.. Sedang mencari rumah 2nd hand. Mana ada kawasan perumahan baru di sekitar 20km radius Putrajaya ni lagi yang kurang RM300K.. Kalau ada terjumpa, sila share, jangan kedekut..
*stress*
Cepat2 la dapat membeli rumah idaman dan saya boleh membelanja baki wang bulanan saya di hujung bulan tanpa rasa serba salah lagi..
Dan sering kali menyesal tidak membeli rumah 3 tahun++ lepas masa mula2 masuk kerja yang pada masa itu, rumah di kawasan idaman hanyalah RM160K dan sekarang dah mencecah RM300K berserta lumut, lalang dan pagar yang berkarat..
Sekarang sedang giat mencari rumah.. FB no more or jarang2.. Tiap kali bukak internet di rumah, laman2 web property yang menjadi tumpuan.. Setiap malam tengok update orang nak jual rumah..
Stress tahu nak mencari rumah ni..
Nak yang murah tapi burok dan dekat;
Nak yang mahal tapi cantik dan dekat; atau
Nak yang murah tapi cantik dan jauh?
Saya nak yang murah tapi dekat dan cantik.. Jawapannya: Tiada dalam senarai pencarian..
Nak rumah yang untuk tinggal sampai ada cucu; atau
rumah yang mungkin perlu disewa atau dijual (atas faktor kerja yang berisiko untuk diposting ke state lain)?
Kalau rumah tu confirm tinggal sampai tua, jauh sikit dari kemudahan pun ok lagi. Tapi kalau berisiko nak kena jual atau sewa, kenalah cari di kawasan yang ada kemudahan kedai, pengangkutan dll baru boleh kenakan harga yang tinggi sikit..
Kawan-kawan kata, gabung la loan, lepas tu beli rumah 450K..
---> Lepastu tiap hari makan makanan kurang zat demi membayar duit rumah bulan2. Alahai, pendapatan isi rumah kami masih belum mampu untuk rumah sebegitu mahal.
Membuat keputusan untuk komitmen 30 tahun ni sangat susah...
Research, research, research...
Kami dah dapat tawaran berpindah ke rumah teres di P11. Tapi kami tolak. Sebab bagi kami, bila kami pindah, haruslah ke rumah sendiri. Tinggal di apartment pun sudah memadai untuk 2 orang. Rumah itu pun sekadar persinggahan. Hanya ada perabot asas, tiada gantungan gambar di dinding, tiada bunga2an, tiada asteruk dan tiada mesin basuh.. hehe..
Tahun 2011, usia 27, saya mahu:
1. Jadi umat, isteri dan pekerja yang baik;
2. Rumah;
3. Anak (hehehe); dan
4. badan yang kurus..
Ayuh!

House-hunting
Groupies
Home Sweet Home
Looking for a house is exhausting.. We went up to Sg. Long and got lost in Semenyih yesterday.. At the end of the day, I suffered from severe migraine and dear husband had to skip his weekly badminton session in order to take care of me.. Thanx abang..
Coming back to house-hunting, the house price is skyrocketing like crazy. An ugly, dirty, 1400sqf house in Bandar Baru Bangi can reach up to 300K which was only 200K in year 2009. Since there is no more new area launched within 10km radius of Putrajaya, we had no choice but to opt for 2nd hands. But it is not cheap.. Plus, some needs major renovation which costs more money.
*sigh*
House-hunting needs us to do homework, research and calculations; the leasing, the area, the market value (in case we got transferred to other state and need to rent the house), the distance, the time consuming, the build-up, etc, etc, etc.. Whether it's the cheap but ugly 2nd hands without renovation, more expensive 2nd hand but with some furnishing and renovation, or Bukit Mahkota's or Seri Putra's which are a bit far but nice beautiful houses..
*head-ache*
How I wish I can skip all these things and buying a house is as easy as choosing a blouse.
A year occupying the quarters have costs us almost 5K. Quite a big sum for something we paid which is not going to be ours. We have to find our own house quickly but...carefully.
We can combine our govt loans and buy a 400K house for instance BUT... our monthly income can't afford to pay that much monthly or to cough-up a big chunk on down-payment.. And I can't finish up my savings, I need to have some in case of emergencies.. Plus, we have to think of the extra monthly expenses when we had kids later on.. Ah, so much to think about.. This is why I hate being an adult.. hehe
Anyway, as we were browsing through properties on auction's websites, we came across a house. The reserved price is so much cheaper from the the market price for a house in that area. Asking here and there about the procedures. Luckily we have a friend who is kindly enough to help. However, in order to join in the bidding, we need place a deposit of 10% of the reserved price. So I guess, it's time to use up part of my savings and the EPF money..
Then, we need to do some research on the house itself before the bidding day and we haven't even had a look on the house yet. We are familiar with the area but we don't know the condition of the house. What ever it is, this is our first experience about auction and bidding. I'm kinda excited. Even if we decided not to go for the bidding or lost on the bidding, this is a new knowledge to learn.
Coming back to house-hunting, the house price is skyrocketing like crazy. An ugly, dirty, 1400sqf house in Bandar Baru Bangi can reach up to 300K which was only 200K in year 2009. Since there is no more new area launched within 10km radius of Putrajaya, we had no choice but to opt for 2nd hands. But it is not cheap.. Plus, some needs major renovation which costs more money.
*sigh*
House-hunting needs us to do homework, research and calculations; the leasing, the area, the market value (in case we got transferred to other state and need to rent the house), the distance, the time consuming, the build-up, etc, etc, etc.. Whether it's the cheap but ugly 2nd hands without renovation, more expensive 2nd hand but with some furnishing and renovation, or Bukit Mahkota's or Seri Putra's which are a bit far but nice beautiful houses..
*head-ache*
How I wish I can skip all these things and buying a house is as easy as choosing a blouse.
A year occupying the quarters have costs us almost 5K. Quite a big sum for something we paid which is not going to be ours. We have to find our own house quickly but...carefully.
We can combine our govt loans and buy a 400K house for instance BUT... our monthly income can't afford to pay that much monthly or to cough-up a big chunk on down-payment.. And I can't finish up my savings, I need to have some in case of emergencies.. Plus, we have to think of the extra monthly expenses when we had kids later on.. Ah, so much to think about.. This is why I hate being an adult.. hehe
Anyway, as we were browsing through properties on auction's websites, we came across a house. The reserved price is so much cheaper from the the market price for a house in that area. Asking here and there about the procedures. Luckily we have a friend who is kindly enough to help. However, in order to join in the bidding, we need place a deposit of 10% of the reserved price. So I guess, it's time to use up part of my savings and the EPF money..
Then, we need to do some research on the house itself before the bidding day and we haven't even had a look on the house yet. We are familiar with the area but we don't know the condition of the house. What ever it is, this is our first experience about auction and bidding. I'm kinda excited.

Phew, what a weekend..
I managed to sew a new set of drape for our living hall in a day. A day man!
This is my first time experience, so it's just a plain straight line drape, no frills, nothing.
We bought the cheapest fabric, in case the first-timer tailor got mess up with it, the loss won't cost that much. heh. The 11.5m fabric, the curtain hooks and curtain tape only cost less than RM50.
I thought it's just a piece of cake. But it's not. I remember Ma saying, cheap fabric is hard to handle. Sure it is. Benang kain asyik tertarik bila jahit, lepas tu jahitan berkedut2. Not satisfied with the finishing, I unpicked the whole thing n re-did the sewing.
Then the pattern thing. I almost sewed the pattern upside down for the other piece. Giler, other wise, need to undo the whole thing, again.....
The next mistake, I sewed the curtain tape upside down, undid the whole thing again.
Started sewing at 11 in the morning on Saturday, finished at 12 midnight the same day. And last night, we hung the drapes and the result is beautiful. Hahaha, perasan siut. Lepas ni boleh amik upah jahit curtain untuk rumah bujang. heee
Adding up to my wish list, a sewing machine.. heeee
Called Best Denki and our tv has arrived. Picked it up last night. Operating the TV was confusing. Petang ni cube lagi. Joe is so excited to watch Thomas Cup with the new TV.
Next in line is a simple rug and 2 big cushions to put in front of the new TV. Thought of sewing the cushion myself since I'm so gifted with sewing (puke), but Ma's 20-year-old sewing machine got broken yesterday and I cant figure up how to use the new one. Will try one more time with it next week, or we'll just buy the cushions at the mall.
The house is getting more comfortable. Lepas ni boleh buat housewarming, upah KAK Ina masak. hehehehe

Membeli perabot.
Bukan mudah.
Lagi2 bagi orang yang kedekut macam saya. Dahla kedekut, cerewet pulak.
Contoh cerewet: Tak boleh settee warna gelap, nanti banyak nyamuk, takleh warna terlalu cerah, nanti cepat kotor, kusyen kena keras ada spring, kalau tak nanti cepat lendut, kalau ada spring, kena ada span, nanti duduk rasa spring je.. Ha, tu baru settee, belum lagi spec beli katil, tilam dll.. Kata kerja kat Bahagian Perolehan. Spec tu penting ;)
Kami bukan stok manusia "Biar papa asal glamorous", orang datang rumah kami akan rasa envy tengok perabot kami yang dibuat dari Itali berharga berpuluh ribu. (Dan berpuluh ribu hutang kad kredit.) Kami membeli ikut kemampuan kami. Perabot murah2, takpe, yang penting rumah tu bersih dan wangi.
Kami ke C*venzi Sungai Besi. Kekononnya C*venzi ni perabotnya pada harga yang boleh tahan. Perkara pertama saya tanya, kalau beli harini, bila boleh hantar.
"Akak, kalau beli harini, 24hb onwards baru boleh hantar"
"Berapa transportation fee?"
"RM110"
Gila mahal and and lembab. Harini baru 31 Jan. Lepastu, barang2 dia pun tak cantik. Flyers penipu. Tak letak tarikh validity, bila datang tanya, cakap promotion dah habis. Sebenarnya memang taktik korang cakap macam tu, supaya orang datang tanya promotion tu, diorang akan cakap dah habis or promotion produk tu dah habis tapi akan ada sesetangah yang ended up beli perabot lain bila dah masuk tengok.
Kami tak tertipu.
Kami ke C*venzi tepi T*sco Extra Selayang pulak. Sama je. Diorang ni dah diajar dialog yang sama.
Kami ke Wes*ourt. Wes*ourt pun standard Cavenzi juga. Ada yang cakap, Wes*ourt n C*venzi are under one roof. Kilang yang sama. Tapi barang dia jauh lagi murah dan kalau barang ada stock, boleh hantar hari Sabtu ni, transportation fee =RM60 atas apa2 barang, seberapa banyak barang pada mana2 area Klang Valley.
Pada keheningan petang itu, kami telah membeli katil, tilam, meja TV and small L-shape settee.
Abg bangla yang attend kami telah mengajar kami seperkara: Perabot di rumah yang perlu mahal dan berkuali ialah sofa dan tilam. Sebab 2 benda ni kita guna paling lama. Katil, atleast 5jam sehari. Sofa tengok tv, atleast 2jam sehari. Hmm, betul jugak. Dan selepas itu, dia promo tilam yang berharga RM1600 bagus untuk tulang belakang. Hahahaha
Saya suka tilam keras. Saya membesar dengan tilam sabut. Tilam sabut yang stiff as board. Memang boleh menulis atas tilam tu. Saya da biasa tidur atas permukaan yang keras. Tidur atas tanah masa camping, no hal. Memang boleh sweetdreams lagi. Nabi Muhammad juga tidur atas permukaan yang keras kan? Tilam yang lembik, tenggelam bila tidur itu kurang elok ye. Tak bagus untuk backbone.
Maka abg bangla promo plak tilam yang keras macam tilam sabut, tapi bukan sabut, better than sabut. (Dia cakaplah kan). Saya baring atas tilam tu, memang best lah. Lembut tapi keras. Dan harga dia, hmmm.. We settled for something less expensive.. Harap2 15tahun tak payah tukar tilam. hehehe
********
Apabila pergi ke kedai perabot, saya paling benci bila orang kedai tanye,
"Cari apa kak"
"Cari katil, settee, meja makan etc, etc, etc, yang tak berapa mahal"
Orang kedai pun bawak kita ke perabot yang tak berapa mahal tu.
Orang cerewet macam saya akan keluar statement yang tak la kuat sangat, sepatutnya hanya patut didengar oleh teman tapi didengar pulak oleh orang kedai perabot iaitu statement seperti ini "Kaki katil die kurus sangat"
Paling geram bila orang kedai jawab,
"Nak yang murah memang macam ni" dengan nada mengejek seolah2 saya ni miskin sangat.
&*(@ u! di dalam hati saya.
Saya hanya senyum, cakap terima kasih dan terus blah dari kedai itu, tak akan datang lagi seumur hidup saya.
********
Buat masa ini, rumah di Putrajaya hanya ada perabot TV atas lantai di ruang tamu dan 2 tilam single di bilik tidur.
Harap takde orang gatal2 nak datang :p

1 perkataan: Penat.
Selagi lagi bersyukur kerana telah mendapat training mengangkat barang2 dan membuat kerja dengan cepat dan tangkas semasa DPA dulu. Mungkin ini hikmahnya Allah tak beri saya rejeki untuk berbadan dua dan mengidam2 supaya saya dapat membantu suami secara lincah untuk mengangkat bundut2 bajunya yang banyak. (memang banyak). hehehe
Fridge kami terjatuh!
Kejadian semasa memunggah fridge oleh seorang pakcik, (suami kepada kenalan mama). Entah macam mana pakcik tidak nampak bendul dan terus menolak fridge dengan trolinya, lalu DUM yang sangat dahsat pada petang hari Sabtu. Fridge jatuh terlentang, pintu freezer terbukak.
"Alamak, pakcik betul2 tak nampak bendul ni"
Saya sedikit risau. Fridge tu memang dah season. Mama da pakai hampir 10tahun. Lalu diperturun untuk kegunaan anaknya ini. Tapi suami relax, seperti biasa. "Perkara dah berlalu, takde ape boleh ubah dah".
Ok, ok, saya juga cuba merelakskan diri.
Fridge diangkat cepat2.
Ingat ye kawan2, fridge tak boleh letak terlentang. Kalau udah terlentang, perlu diangkat cepat2. Kalau agak2 dah terlentang lebih 10min, jangan on kan dia, bagi lar masa dalam 4-5jam baru on. Ni pesan pakcik chef yang terer membuat roti dan pastries yang sedap2 masa saya practical attachment dulu.
Sebab fridge terlentang tak sampai 10min, sesampai di apartment kami, terus on nak tengok ada kerosakan. Alamak, fridge bawah tak sejuk.
Pakcik terus menerus mengucap, "Pakcik betul2 tak nampak bendul tu, warna tiles dia sama".
Ala, kesian pakcik, bukan pakcik sengaja nak jatuhkan fridge saya.
Bila hendak pulang, pakcik hanya nak amik RM20 je instead of RM100. Dia kata dia tak sedap hati sebab telah merosakkan fridge kami. Kami kata, esok kami akan datang, kalau fridge ok, nanti kami bagi baki yang perlu dibayar kepada pakcik.
Keesokan harinya, setelah berkali2 trip angkat barang2 Joe dari rumahnya ke kereta dengan tanpa bantuan sesiapa, kereta pun sudah penuh, kami ke Putrajaya.
Perkara pertama saya buat bila sampai, bukak fridge.
Alhamdulillah sangat2. Fridge elok2 sahaja!!! Ah, seronoknya..
Bersyukur sangat2 yang tak terhingga. Saya senyum sampai ke telinga kerana tak perlu baiki fridge, or worse, kena beli fridge baru.
*****
Semua kejadian itu datang dari Allah.. Kalau berlaku perkara yang tak dijangka, senyum saja. Bermasa muka pun tak dapat mengubah ape2.
p/s: Fridge tersebut jenama National yang mana sekarang adalah Panasonic. Barang National, rocks!

When doing spring cleaning, I always have trouble throwing the old stuff..
Cant throw that, I wish to show that to my children..
Cant throw this because it has sentimental value in it..
Cant give away those clothes, I may want to use it one day..
Then, I have another problem where I always separate my waste to paper, plastics and metal, even the smallest metal like the aromatherapy candle's cover or the aluminium foil pill's wrappers.. Batteries, we cant throw those batteries with the other domestic waste.. It'll contaminated the soil and making them unsafe and polluted for other organism that live in there.. (Therefore, use rechargeable batteries people and don't go buying those RM2 for 8 'Everyday' or 'Durasel' batteries sold in the market..) At the end of spring cleaning day, I'll have 3 bags of waste that need to be thrown at the recycle bin..
I wish to decorate my room. Since I wont be living here in another 6 months, I want my room of 18 years to be one of the guest rooms.. I'll dismantle this 2 single beds, buy a queen bed and repaint the room. This room is quite big. I can even do aerobic in here. It has it's own bathroom. It is so convenient for Sis Yanie or Sis Yanti when they come here.
I have this 3 bouquet of dried roses collecting dust on my cupboard. Joe gave to me on those special occasions. I'll take pictures of them before throwing them away.
Clothes.. I have so many of them. I don't grow that much ever since I was 15 so I still have all this old clothes that still fit me. There're all too pretty to give away.
Stuff animals.. Papa will buy me a stuff animal whenever he went for outstation as a souvenir. I've gave away some and I'm keeping the cute ones for my kids.
Bags.. All sorts of bags.. Not handbags..
Lecture notes.. So many of them. I was keeping them for my guidance and reference if I remained in the Food Science and Nutrition. But I end up doing management. So I guess the notes need to go and give their space to other stuff.
Diaries.. Yeah, I wrote them every single day since I was 14.. I have 1 on each year.. I wish to read them one day and laugh at my own stupidity when I was in my teenage lives.. Those, I wont throw..
Cassettes.. Whoever hears cassettes now? I'm dumping all of it..
Autographs.. From teachers and schoolmates.. Remember "Biodataku" that includes your favourite colour, favourite food, favourite person, best friends etc, etc with colourful pens and designs.. It will give me a good laugh when I open my so-called time capsule that has lots of old stuff during my student years after 10 years..
I haven't gone through all the stuff.. I'll continue next week.. It's so nice to see your room neat and clean, even under the beds.. It makes me wanna sleep...

The thing I fear most had happened yesterday.. My phone snapped into 2.. It only attached to the wire that connects that 2 parts.. Since it still working, I superglued it and it stayed intact like new.. The camera isn't working anymore.. It's ok because I always prefer to use my digital camera anyway..
This is my 3rd phone.. My 1st was Nokia 3310 that I bought when I attended Matriculation in 2002. Eventhough the phone was quite good, I bought a new phone 2 years later, Samsung's super light and slim (that time), can't remember it's model.. And again the phone was still in good condition when I bought this one, Sony Ericsson Z558i with my 1st paycheck in 2007..
The max use is only 2++ years average. Since the phone isn't used that much anymore, I won't want to waste my precious savings on buying a new one. I will use this one until it totally worn out and nothing is on the screen. I have no desire on buying the high tech handphone because I won't be using the high tech thing anyway. The handphone is used only for texting, calling out and receiving calls, alarm clock, calculator (to calculate differences when shopping) and sometimes the MP3 and the camera..
I'm not the type that will be using the 3G to check out the stock exchange. I still use my organizer for all the meetings and appointments. So my priority goes on buying a chopper blender, a nice comfy bed or a big fridge for my new home after I get married.
I'm thinking of buying a house. I know I will end up in Putrajaya for at least another 10 years since my post is a flexi 41-44 post. I'm thinking of staying maybe in Bangi or Kajang. Houses in Putrajaya are kinda expensivo. Maybe an apartment for a start. Mr.Joe has a house (above a shop) in Setapak which I thought wouldnt be a suitable place to start a family. hehehe.. Ey, it will a busy area once all the shops are opened. No, I won't be using my govt loan. Mr.Joe and I will combine our loans to buy a bigger house later.. A double story terrace with a moderate lawn for our kids and our pet, cat to play around is good enough =)
