Villa Maarof at Sg. Penchala...A Short Stay Haven..

Every summer breaks...finding a place to stay will be my biggest task...It has to be safe..near enough to leave the kids and come back in time of need...almost the comforts of home like especially beds for all bodies..that comes with a good rate...it has a washing machine...a kitchen and utensils provided... In the past...we were hotel hopping since our house was rented out.. the kids like it but its just cramping sometimes.

By chance from FB..I saw the info Zu put out thru a friend's page....It seems that she has just put it up and I am the first to ask... I have been twice to the area so roughly I know its going to work for me because for one important thing...the place is about 30mins from Hospital Selayang where Adzrul is working..he might be able to drop by after work on the days he's not too puffed out..he..he.. and it did works well for my immediate needs... My son can easily come over and spend a few hours with us...masjid dekat...for the boys to just walk over..kedai makan banyak.. ada pasar malam on Wed and pasar tani on Sunday whis are heavily thronged by people.. and access to KL via Penchala LInk is just 15mins or less..nak ke Mid-Valley pun abt 15-20mins... apalagi nak ke iKEA or Curve just 10mins.... It is a sweet location because of all the amenities available....

Plus the host/owner is a great lady...she wants to make sure that whatever needed is available... that our stay will be pleasant..and for my needs..when theres teenagers around...privacy for each is needed..bila2 masam2 muka sama dia berebut or etc...nak basuh clothes ada washing machine Zu provide...this is really a plus for me..she has an iron&iron board too..plus she stock up the kitchen with a stove..pots&pans and basics crockery...Apa nak lagi..macam rumah sendiri... Plus since I stay for about 4weeks...bibik datang juga to mop the floor and clean-up.... Like I say..Zu think of it all in wanting to provide for a good stay... Ada TV juga..my kids were hooraying..sbb dpt tengok Astro....belajar kecek Melayu sikit..tengok drama...kadang tu dok baca sub-title pulak kerje nye...



Zu..I hope we stay friends ye...nasi goreng yg mengancam....masa gambar ni diambil. My good luck.....alhamdulilah kerana dipertemukan dgn insan2 yang baik and memudahkan waktu2 yang dilalui.....

My Days in Malaysia

It has now been 17days since we return to Malaysia. Almost everyday was hectic with one thing or another. It did not help when I have to haul the 3 kids along...always..first thing will be to feed everyone than only the other stuffs can be done. The looking around trying to get an idea of prices for the things we need for the Sg.Serai house was the main event..it did not help that I got lost by going into a wrong exit/turns... Then it came to..What do I actually need..that will be sufficient...while the rest can wait to the time when we shall stay there more..not sure permanently but maybe longer. I have settled the AC's & fans which are now being installed. The hacking did not help with the cleanliness of the house too..

Next come the curtains...I decided only full type for the living room and just sheers for the rest since my next door neighbors haven't move in yet..and the front face the road. Only got to watch out for the back windows as the back neighbor house is on higher ground thus they will be looking into the kids room. This will be rectified maybe with some blinds.

The beds were decided instead of just mattresses coz' everybody will need a good sleep and the keepings when we leave will be much easier...Still not sure how but maybe some old bedcovers or throws.. The beds are much cheaper compared to the mattresses..or is it just the type we chose..Thought if I purchase some from IKEA will be cheaper....No..no...no...I did not know where I got that idea. So our price survey trip to IKEA did not amount to anything...except possibly get a round dining table as a temp until we can find when we really need a real dining table probably an 8 or 10 seater...ambik kau...

We got a sofa set for the upstairs family room coz' it comes together with a bed package from Cellini's. So..I decided not to get a sofa set yet for the living room..duduk atas tikar je lah dulu... or maybe some loose pieces seats....

The main thing will be my kitchen...after much contemplation..I decided just to install the wet-kitchen..I thought Ash wood will be lovely..but the kids and my boss thinks dark-wood will be nicer...frm some photos it do look nice...since the flooring is cream 15inch tiles and light moss green on the wall..the Oak-Espresso colored cabinets may be nice. I do not want to go into the choosing of the cabinet materials....I end up getting an Oak wood type instead of laminates.. MDF.. pressed mat..pine..Ash....Insya'allah I hope its a good choice...I still need to get the fridge..hob & hood to be installed..The $$$ seems to be flowing like mud-slide or avalanche.. sorry dearie..
