Jalan-jalan Cari Rumah

today... mummy's gonna ramble about house.... :) why? there's a story i want to share and i really wanna get it out from my chest! 

All of us... married couple especially... will have their own dream of owning a home! true? if no then it's ok.. hehe..so do my husband and i... the one that we are living right now is an apartment.. the one we can afford...  and i can say it's still big for us.. even though with additional-Armand! :) however... it's always have been my dream to live in a landed property... with a small garden aka land area... why? because i like gardening and i like to wash my own car! ahahha... and also it reminds me of my childhood where i love to play around my folks' gardens.. i would like for Armand to experience the same... soooooooooo... we went for house-hunting last weekend... *phewww* with a certain range price, the one we can afford of course, new development area, where pricing is still reasonable and with certain locations that we aim.... from Bukit Jelutong all the way to Shah Alam2... and from Bukit Bandaraya to Alam Impian, Shah Alam... and we have decided to pick one! :)

Kuala Lumpur = no no noooooo....... me no like jam!

Kajang/ Bangi = no no noooooo....... me never know that area

Cyberjaya/ Putrajaya = hmmmm...... i dunno why i donch like this area.. ahha...

Klang = my hubby don wan.. very far to his work place

Petaling Jaya/ Hartamas/ Damansara = new property? banglo/ semi-D byk la.. ko mampoo????

Reviews:

1. Sunway Alam Suria Phase 1b(iii), Developer: Sunway City Berhad

- They are launching Phase 1c... 2 1/2 storey link-houses... veli niceeee.... modern design... 22'x 65'.....

:) :) :) i love this type of design very much.. and i would say, current houses are designed to be modern/ contemporary... 

as i said before... i would like a garden area.. so, to cut it short we only ask for corner lot price... RM740k++ *gulpppp first time*

but.. the sales person, Ms Tan.. veeeeeeliiiiiiiii nice lady... told us that from previous launch, Phase 1biii... there are 3 corner lots left, 2-storey.. cheaper than 1c area... construction -wise.. halfway done... hmmm... to be considered... size: 47' x 65'. Near to Surau... they just built the surau... community.. i wud say 60% malay... guess only hor.. :) accessible through major highways.. 

2. Amanda & Carmita, Shah Alam2. Developer: IJM Land. cluster semi-Ds

- ahemmm.. yep.. semi-D 20' x 55'.. yet it's still very cheap for semi-D!! RM320k onwards... Amanda's corner lot sold out.. damn! Carmitta still have one... the land area itself is 6000++ square feet! damn... leh buat lagi 3 rumah kut... ahhaha.. cost: RM504k.. community... 90% malay.. i guess again.. :)

Carmita's show unit... fully furnished with IKEA furnitures...  wanna buy show house, fully furnished RM560k.. nice! :)

But.................. a longgggggggggggggggg but....................... Shah Alam2 is so damn far!!!! huwaaaaaaaaaa........ it's near UiTM Puncak Alam campus... and it's in the area of Majlis Bandaran Kuala Selangor... aiyoooo.. if i were to stay there... then i can say goodbye to Fitness First and True Fitness... seriously! and those who wanna visit me, for sure i'll bring you to watch kelip-kelip.. haha..

3. Collaris, Bukit Bandaraya. Developer: LebarDaun Sdn Bhd

- Veryyyyyyyyyy nice house again.... 2-storey 22' x 75'

pricewise ok for intermediate... location.. next to Taman Pertanian Msia, Shah Alam aka Bukit Cerakah... at the back of the development is actually the reserve land area... confirmed there will be NO development at the back there.. 2 natural lakes nearby... very soothing area...

Thing is... corner lot.. RM880,888! *faint* but it's a verrrrry big house... 35'x 75' just the house.. (not sure about the 75'.. maybe 80'.. hehe)  6+1 bedrooms.. 5 bathrooms... wow! dreamhouse okeh.. salesperson, Alex.... veeliiiiiiiiiii nice person also.. he brought us to the site area and explained the developer's plan for that area... majority Malay as well.. surau already active as their first phase housing area was years back... accessibility.. only one route.. thru Shah Alam... not attach to any highways...

4. Aquina, TTDI Alam Impian. Developer: Naza TTDI

- 20'x80', 22'x80' and 24'x80'..... few types... pricing starts from RM740k++... hmmm... very nice design and spacious! near highways... in-and-out..LKSA highway... compulsory RM1.20 toll! new township...

 one end-unit 22'x80' will cost us RM826k... hmmm... bigger ones... hmmm... take a guess.... 

this one... DEFINITELY A NO-NO to us!!! why????? coz the salesperson it's soooooooooooooo condescending... arghhhhhh....... malu i mengaku jadi melayu! firstly, when we stepped in the 'launch' area around 3pm... nobody attended to us.. we thought, maybe there are lots of ppl and few of them to handle... but no................ there are around 7-8 ladies/ gents who are 'free' and just stand still!! i dunno what is their function... and i approach them and asking things... she reluctantly answered my questions... i'm started to get pissed... and i told her to get somebody who can answer my question without referring to somebody every time to get the answer! then she brought me to a malay guy.. looks a bit senior and i can see his name on the sticker thingy on the board.. meaning he managed to do quite a number of sales that day.. and i think.. owh.. he must be good... hmmmmmm.... first thing he asked us, "you punya bajet bulan2 berapa ya... 800? 900?" and he smirked!!! whatttttttttttttt in the hell is that?!??!?!?!? you ingat sbb i pakai t-shirt and jeans i tak mampu ke nak beli rumah yg u jual konon2 mahal sgt tuh?!??!? heyyyyyyyyyyyy................. u should not do that to your potential clients!! after that i pointed straight to the end-unit.. "i want that unit price... we are looking for corner unit.. get somebody who can tell us the next step, paperwork and so on" then he attended to us nicely and explain to us the township planning and everything... *sigh* i don't want to eleborate anymore... seriously i'm really disappointed on how NAZA trained their salesperson... maybe it's their 'thingy' of only attending to 'look-rich' kinda person... so be it... as for us, we are soooo not gonna buy their house just because of the way we were treated!! 

and this is the story i want to share! maybe a 'look-out' for you guys if you are facing this kind of situation.. never give-in to this kind of attitude.. no matter how big is the company that you are working with, you have no right to look down on people!! it just shows how low your morale is!!!

And conclusion for us... we settled with Sunway Alam Suriam phase 1biii! :) did i tell u our house is next to the linear park? after this.. no reason not to jogging! heheh...

house - big enough for our use... and for the price we can afford... :) now we are saving/ planning/ budgetting to interior-design our house.. yayy!!... verangan time! hheheh... any recommendation on good interior designer? :)

Aqiqah + Cukur Jambul lagi

*phewww* after few other unrelated post to Cukur Jambul... now mummy has managed to 'reduce' the size of the uploaded photos so that it will take lesser time to post.. hehe... let's see... where did we stop.. okeh.. 1st session of Cukur Jambul done... all handled by daddy successfully.. now mummy time.. ouch.. nebesssss......

 jgn tertipu... ini muka nebesss.... how can i not be not nervous.. Armand has been up all morning... 'survived' 1.5 hours of 1st session... and it's already 11.30am... it's getting hot in hereeee.....

My MIL (very talkative one - Armand suka! hehe...) is busy making sure everybody is in 'place' and comfortable...

from another view... and FYI.. this Marhaban 'geng' is my MIL's 'mosque kaki' as well...

 and mummy is busy making sure Armand is comfortable... this is when Marhaban already started... suppose mummy needs to sit beside them with Armand.. but the day is so hot (12pm da kut..)... my baby no like hot hot... so i need to walk around.. holding him.. sing la la la laaaa.....

 opps... how long a newborn will remain calm.. haha... Armand is crying already... this is around 1pm... and mummy is soooo stressed! can see on my face.. hahahha... and daddy came to help... but sempat gelak dkt mummy okeh... hampehs...

and of course...another saviour.. my mum! ahahhahh....

 Then... Armand is calm just in the nick of time for mummy to pusing2 the Marhaban group 3 times.. i don't know why it needed to be 3 times.. i just follow orders... ahahha...

 

 Then mummy took Armand out for a while... to soothe him... hehe... he just bored.. and hot.. hmm.. it's now 1.30pm...

then we're in the house again.. this time.. 'pusing2' for them to give 'blessing' to Armand... 'cukur jambul as well'...

 Atuk...

 My mum...

 sporting aunty...

and Alhamdulillah... everything went well and the session finished around 2pm! OMG... my baby has been up since 9am... and survived 2 sets of event with one feeding in between... hehe.. after that.. mummy n daddy 'bersanding' one more time.... ahahhaha... sempena our 1st Anniversary, at Armand's mini dais... hehe... made by our good fren.. Izwan.. from Maharisi Design...

so.. that's how we spent our 1st anniversary.. Armand's cukur jambul + aqiqah... celebration with families and friends... :)

No more soaking in hot water!

My mum made few comments during my confinement... the one i remembered the most was.. "budak2 zaman sekarang... byk betul gadget2 baby... dulu2 mana ada semua ni..." :) this is when i taught her how to use the sterilizer... and yes... i find these 'gadgets' very useful and most important, very time consuming.... and of course... most of it, 80% gadgets for our baby came from our beloved families and friends... thanks you all... i'll make sure Armand is aware bout this someday... ahhaha...

Modern mummy nowadays... i think... especially first-time-mother will want and have these.. at least
- Philips Avent/ Tommy Tippee bottles
- Stroller.. quinny wud be the most popular
- Sterilizer
- Breast pump

I'm not sure whether it's the trend or necessities... but the fact is, in the old days, baby survives well without it! :) funny aite? not saying that it's a wrong thing to want all these, i want those personally... and currently using all those as well... but i personally feel sometimes all these 'gadgets' are over-rated... and it becomes a MUST to have those branded Tommy Tippee bottles.. as an example.. :) truth is.. we can do without it...

Ok ok... i think i want to write about other things but ended up 'nagging' about 'over-spending'... ahhahah...

Let me 'overspent' more ya... after confinement.. i'm very diligent on breastfeeding Armand... i ended up buying Spectra 350 in addition to my Medela Mini Electric Single Pump... when you are exclusively breastfeeding.. i found that i don't have enough bottles for storage, then i settled with Milk bags.. yayy! cool invention i would say and luckily there is a cheap brand... hehe... then you'll face the frozen-thawing milk routine... kettle at home is 24-hours working without fail.. huhu... in a month time.. i found:
- it's very hassle when you are travelling... warming up milk in a car with hot water is very very very.. hmmm... me no like! hehhe...
- and when you warm it, you keep pouring the milk a bit at your wrist just to make sure it's the right temperature... *sigh* sometimes it can be lot of time... hish.. wasting my milk.. heheh...

sooooooo...... i decided to get myself a warmer... which:
- portable and can be used in the car
- can fit my Medela, Avent and Tommy bottles (we never bought any.. all are presents! :D)

tadaaaaaaaa....... i found this!

SnowBear: Car & Home Bottle/ Food Warmer...

as you can see... the rounded Tommy bottle.. can fit nicely into it....  adapter for usage in the car is included!

  easy to use.. plug and play! :) set it at 40degC temperature.. and the milk is ready for your baby in 4-7mins... :) and i can use it to warm Armand's food as well... i got it for RM79.90 only at Littlewhiz.com

So much of surviving without gadgets... owh well... i'm not ashamed to admit that i can't live without those... ahahhahaha
