Time In Malaysia

Let's see if I remember some of the things that happen while I were in Malaysia...upon arrival..my 3 sis were at the airport with their families..after lots of huggings what nots we proceed to go to Ana's house which is my 2nd sis..Adik&Dilla decided to come along eventhough their house is just near the airport. I forgot about the eptrol pinch since it's price hike.. usually we will transit at Ana's house first b4 going to any hotels that were booked. These hotels were booked way in advance and sometimes I forgot to check the conditions to cancel or amend...as such RM110 melayang due to dates overlap..Anyway..if you serve the net you can look for bargains and will manage to save som $$ just by getting it from different agents or direct to the hotels. In one instance..the rates I get from KL-Hotels for rooms in Concorde Shah Alam is about RM20 cheaper per day..not much right. But if you were there for say 7 days its going to add up...at least can pay for lunch. The breakfast spread at Concorde Shah Alam was great in comparison to the other place that we stay. So a heavy breakfast tend to make you skip lunch and than you take an early dinner..so that's pretty much what we did.....

Actually we were in this quandry....having to hotel hopping during this vacation and last in Malaysia due to the unreadiness of our own homes. I expect to rectify this from next year onwards insyaállah....Our first home was repainted externally and internally last year...so the time stretch due to the rainy season and we cannot even stay there last year...as for this year since the house was void of furniture..we cannot stay there also... so thus the hotels...

Anyway...since the order of what needs to be done was centered around where we stay at the moment..it makes us able to complete quite a few items. I don't really expect to complete all that we wrote done prior to repat...

But the major things that were completed :-

• Get the MPSA approval for the Subang Alam house renovation.
• Mid-August b4 Azlan returns, the renovation of the external kitchen started after we agree on the changes and the costs...I just hope that it will turn out good if not great since I am not there to watch the progress..I just go with my gut feeling and also surveillance by Sani that all will be as said...so 30% of costs all paid for. To date the external kitchen basics were completed.
• Able to get the Cahaya Heights rented out...RM800 per month for 2 years. With options to add 1 year additional. The tenant seems nice and although he requested a few items to be done..he is willing to fork out the money first and deduct from rental. Hmm..we again go with our gut feeling and thanks to Zarina & Gorden who help us to rent out the place...
• We sell our Toyota Unser and get a Toyota Vios for Adzrul...alhamdulilah manage to get a good trade in value for it. Although we went round surveying how much resale value around Puchong, PJ and S.Alam finally Toyota outlet at Subang gives us the best price..so we decided to get the Vios..Ha..ha..although with a car..Adzrul is just now taking his driving license course..to date he has passed the computer test and attended the practical workshop...so probably next week he should be getting his L and start on the road test. We hope he can master this skill since he will be on his own..at least to go to LRT or KTM station. But he needs to know which place to avoid when driving alone...
• Sign up MRTA with Alfa...although with some medical issues on Azlan's side.
• Sign up Hannah's policy with K.Ita.
• Pre-sign with CTZ...still need to get her the money...
• Settle our queries with Edarman..although still upset about the losses but still..we believe its not meant to be although we know the decision to take but it was not taken on time..It's not actually up to us...
• Settle with the house grill contractor...
• Meet up with my ex-staffs for Hi-Tea at Sheraton..gonna put up the photos soon. And the Wed b4 leaving again for makan-makan at Mintan's...dpt handbag Pierre Cardine lagi..too much these guys but thanks so much...
• Lunch also the first week at Sani's house..O'La..La..ada sup lala yg sedap and fruits etc...
• Had fun time in Sunway lagoon on Thurs 7/8/08...had dinner at a malay restaurant in Sunway Pyramid and then stay to watch a drum performance by some school students.
• Had various wonderful times with CT during the last leg of our stay..from The Curve/Ikea to Munawwarah and eating Laksam..
• Attended a ceramah by YB Zulkifli Nordin and also a visit to Dtk Hassan Ali office in SUK..where we met Dtk. Ismail Kamus too...who by the way has spend some time looking over our Subang Alam house if you know what it means....

Some disappointment....well..its my unhappiness now but..it happens that way may not be really up to me...may we have more time for family visits next year..and some compromises....we need to compromise and not just insist...anyway..I should have tried harder..but things are no longer the same..when hearts are harden its not easy to mend...there's too much silence and waiting who gonna start first...I may regret of not doing what I should have done but than again..things are not that simple...it's push way too long to do something about it...but still I will keep on doing the things that I can do although non-communicado...
