A home is where the heart is..

As you all know, my hubby recently migrated to a new company in Rawang. Located 50km away from Shah Alam, travelling back and fro to his work place is really gonna cost a big dent to his pocket. What with petrol lagi and 3 tolls amounting to more than RM7 (one way), I guess you can do the math of how much he needs to spend everyday. Adding to our monthly expenditure is my travelling to Sg Buloh via NKVE costing me RM3.20 one way and minyak lagi.  Haihhh.. boleh bayar guna pasir tak??? 


Once, we were thinking of car pooling since both of us somewhat heading the same direction but my hubby tends to finish work late and I tak sanggup nak tunggu for hours at the hospital and left Hana at my sister's home way pass Maghrib time.. 


So my hubby proposed that we apply for hospital quarters and rent out our current house. Hence, we'll save a lot money on tolls and petrol as my hubby is the only who does all the travelling. On the contrary, it's gonna be SO sad leaving Bukit Jelutong and our house behind. 


My hubby, a kampung boy, once said that he can't imagine staying in an apartment/condo and will only buy a landed property. He needs some greeneries around the house. He also said that  it is inconvenient in terms of kalau tertinggal barang dalam kereta, takdelah kena masuk lift and turun 10 storeys down to get the stuff. And kalau shopping banyak2, tak ke penat turun naik dua tiga trip semata-mata nak angkat barang .. well, he has a point there.

BJ is a nice neighbourhood and the first time we stepped in this area, we just knew that this is a place where we should stay and raise our kids. So, finally we decided to purchase a house within walking distance to the school, a big padang and a mini business centre called D'bayu. This place has everything you asked for, a steak house, 7-E, Domino's, Tutti Frutti, a kopitiam, kedai mamak, clinic and Cambridge for students to learn English.


What I love most is that on the day that we are off, me and mr hubby would bring Hana for a stroll for our breakfast at the nearest Mamak stall or Kopi Kaw while enjoying the morning breeze (cewah :P).. I pernah jugak once called for Domino's home delivery and bila derang tanya rumah kat mana, I malu2 bagitau our house is located just accross the shop :p (ishx3, memang dasar pemalas!) 


Back to our ancient crib. We bought this house for 370K at that time, yep still cheap back then considering the location. Just after we signed the S&P and moved in, the price of the houses around this area increased by 30%, even the old ones like ours! Yes, crazy I tell ya! Anyways, this house ada attic yang previous owner dah buat, so at least we have an extra space for storage and dah ada pegola and wooden door. So, kira okay la kan. Though, we just moved in 2 years ago to this 10 year old house with a lot of leaking problem and a much needed renovation (but don't have the ongkos for it), but we still love this house to bits (I'll proly exaggerate a bit there teehee..).


Anyway, I've filled up my application for the hospital quarters. According to my friend who stayed there, the place is quite spacious with 4 rooms and is almost fully furnished minus the electrical appliances. I did survey for apartments around KD area where my sister lives but it is waaaayy beyond our budget. So I guess we'll just stick to staying within the hospital compound, if my application approved, that is.


Okaylah, nanti I'll snap few pictures of BJ and my humble house before it will be rent out (huhuhu)..


P/s anyone interested to be our future tenant? Sewa cuma RM1500, partly furnished..

Domestic helper needed ASAP!

My mom's maid recently ran after we found out that she is PREGNANT!!! She denied it till the end despite 2 positive urine pregnancy tests and 1 positive blood HCG adamantly saying that the doctor in the clinic was trying to sabotage her. She practically told my mom that she'll go and see a doktor pakar herself and prove us all wrong. But she needed her 1 month salary in advance for her to do that. 


What, she thought that we are all dumb and stupid and that doctors in Malaysia can be bribed easily? Puhleeesseeee... My mom dah tawar hati sangat2 and was really happy when the maid finally flee away. Nak citer pasal keburukan dia memang banyak sangat but that is not the main point of this entry.


Anyways, my 64 year old mom is maidless at the moment. She has to take care of my dad, my 2 brothers and my sis in law who just gave birth 10 days ago. Unfortunately my mom, being a perfectionist will usually gets carried away with the house chores that at the end of the day akan jatuh sakit.. lenguh badan, demam, pening etc..


Once in 2 weeks, I will lend my maid for a day to help out with ironing and cleaning but that is a temporary thing. I need to find a day time maid for her before she overworked and fall sick again.. Anyone has any number that I can contact? Desperately need  a daytime maid that can work  2- 3 times a week 3-4 hours in a day in Bangi. 


Thanks for your help.

Issue bibik that gives me headache!!

Bengang betul!!!!

I paid almost 5K to this Indon guy who act as an agent to get me an Indon maid. My mom's maid (whom we got thru him as well) though not perfect but is well trained. She can cook, iron and do house chores and doesn't need supervision. My mom as always, being perfectionist, mesti ada yg tak puas hati, sapu tak bersih lah, buat kerja tak cermat lah and etc.. to meet up to her expectation is almost impossible. But for me, she's damn good if you want to compare with my maid!!!! Macam langit dan bumi tau &*^^%#$#$@#

I beforehand, specifically told the agent that I need someone who is reaaly good with children as I need her to take care of my baby. Since I need to go for 36 hours calls 8 times in a month, the maid must know how to cook while I'm gone.

My maid just arrived a week ago. Guess what??? She comes from pedalaman mana ntah with no electricity or water supply!!!!!!!!!! Can u imagine, she has no experience handling electrical appliances be it rice cooker, iron, washing machine, stove, vaccum cleaner and the list goes on and on... I (actually my mom's maid) even had to teach her how to use the toilet!!!! Haiihh.. baik amik org asli jer...

I've become very stressed up. Her hygine is questionable. How can I let her hold Hana, handle her bottles or prepare her milk?????? Tension toksah nak kata la.

Okay.. okay.. kesian pun ada jugak since she comes from a very poor family who don't even have enough food to eat. *Tapi aku tgk tak kurus pun macam org Afrika* Kita pulak siap boleh bagi ikan and nasik kat The Strays (kumpulan kucing2 terbiar dan tak bertuan belakang umah).

Tapi kesian jadi benci pulak. She has few male friends living in Malaysia. So my mom's maid (who acts as our 007 now) report to me that she calls and SMS them every night sampai pukul 2-3 pagi. Tapi my mom's maid faham skit2 jer since my maid talks in Lombok language. I can't take it anymore when my spy told me that she overheard my maid asking her guy friend to find her a job as a salegirl kat mana2 kedai... What the @$%@$% is she doing??!!

Kita dah la ikhlas nak tolong dia sbb org susah lah kononye and she is secretly planning to flee (or flea?) from my house. Tak guna punya org!! I better send her back. Mmg menakutkan la sbb ramai kawan lelaki kan. Kotnya rompak rumah kita ke, bawak lari Hana nanti ker mana tau kan????

My husband called Pak Zul who is our agent dgn bengangnye coz we truly felt cheated... I demand to get a new maid straight away.. bayar je mahal and janji bagai2, signed, sealed but not delivered as promised!

Isu bibik ni is stressing me up. Dah la milk supply kurang, makin la skit production when I had to deal with this issue.

Pening2...
