Moving Out







We’re spending our last nights in our first rented apartment together. We’ve painted this place with many memories. It’s the place we both stayed together after we got married, a place where we held some makan2 occasion with friends and families, place where my friends would come for their hiding place from their partners, place where his friends would come at night to have guys’- lepak nights.





I love this place for its short distance to KL, PJ, Bangsar, Damansara as it is smacked right in the center of all these places. I love this place for all the neighborhood kedai makans, my neighborhood hairdresser, DVD shop (where we buy lotsa DVDs with discounts), kedai buah, kedai ikan, mini market….ahhhh just too many! Ohhhh I forgot to mention that this place has many accesses to all the highways within 5 minutes, and I rarely got trapped in traffic jams!



It’s time to move out since our lovely new home is ready to welcome us. The new house is quite a distant away from KL town, and traffic can be a…killer, I think. But it’s also a place that we could afford for a landed property and secured.



It’s going to take some time to adjust to the new environment, the traffic, the people, to get acquainted with the shops around here, pick and choose our fav spots. But it will also mean that Dolly would have more space to run around, to wheel her walker around the house.




As for me, I’d be able to have my own walk-in wardrobe, a gigantic dressing mirror, a customized kitchen – tho I don’t cook, but I love my new kitchen! For him, he’d have his kolam ikan, and his own game/work room, and he can finally use the mini lawn mower he bought! For all of us, a bigger home with ample space in a more secured environment.




I’m sad to leave the current place, but I’m also excited to be staying at our new home. Our entire hard work, hard earned dollar is spent in building our lovely home. We scrutinize on every little thing (material, price) for this house – what type of paint to use, what materials for the curtains, which wall paper to use, what type of wash basin to pick, the wash basin water tap, the lights, cabinets, shower screen, fans, ceiling, grills, yeah everything. The crazy times we went out looking for things we like, chasing contractors for quotations, contractors chasing us to demand money, arguments with contractors, arguments with each other (plenty), just to build this house.



Oh yeah not to mention the part where we need to chase the bank to release the loan, the developers chasing us for down payment, we chased the lawyers for documentation. It was painful. But now it has come to an end…and I’m proud to say that I kinda managed it well. Woohoo!



Pictures of my new home will be posted…soon!

Random thoughts

1. I’d like to think that I’m an organized person, but according to my husband – I am so not it.

2. I don’t like to keep old receipts – thinking that why the hell would I need it anyway? It’s just going to be more mess if I throw it into my bag or keep in my purse or leave it around in the house. So most of the time, I don’t keep them. But the other day I wanted to get back my season parking deposit at my old office. They asked me for the receipt of the deposit. I went like… “owh oh”. Darn I should have kept it!!!

3. Hubby was packing all of our junks into boxes since we’re moving to our new place next week. In all of those junks, he found the receipt of the parking deposit! Yeayyy!!! But of course, I got an earful from him for that. When he nags, he’s worst than a naggy lady.

4. Since we’re moving soon, he gave me a task to find empty boxes – wherever I can find them. Shop lots, tepi jalan, wherever. He said that I would not be able to bring back more than 5 boxes home. I went out searching for the boxes for 2 hours. I came home with 17 boxes in all sizes from extra big to extra small. He was proud.

5. Because my husband thinks I’m not an organized person, he doesn’t want me to pack the stuff into the boxes coz he says I don’t know how to utilize the space. So when he packs the stuff at night, I’m in dreamland with Dolly. He he he.

6. Before I was married and in the days of courting guys, I would smile gleefully whenever I received their phone calls and text messages. And I could feel I was smiling from ear to ear, and my face felt somewhat burned coz of the blush. I liked that feeling.

7. This morning I had that same feeling when he called. My Sunshine.

8. It never fails to amaze me on how people at 50 years of age are still fit like a 25 year old.

9. I’m craving for Japanese food. The nearest Jap food I can get near the office is Sushi King. Well I guess that will do lah.

10. Today someone asked me if I was a fresh grad. I answered “yes, 5 years ago”. I hope that person only thinks like that because I look young (omg perasan), not because I suck at work (No, I don’t. I know I don’t).

11. They asked me if I want to represent the team for the bowling competition tomorrow. Well, if you want to lose the game, maybe I can help coz I really suck at bowling. I’ll pass. I’m happy to play netball and volleyball in the next inter-departmental games. Coz I know I can run and catch a ball or hit a ball – depending what game it is. Perhaps I’ll just be there to shout for you tomorrow and be a cam-whore.

12. I need to do work but I’m procrastinating it as long as I can. I just want the clock to turn to 5.30pm right now so that I can go home.

13.Oh yikes! I forgot! They organize a meeting at 3pm today. I haaaatttteeee meetings on Friday.
