To Haunt or Not to Haunt

We are currently on a look out for houses. Hopefully will be able to get one before the end of the year but the houses in the market that we could afford are either in Cheras which i don’t really prefer or some other places like Puchong or Shah Alam which is very far from KL.The prices had gone up too.

On our list for considerations are those in Bandar Sri Damansara or Taman Bukit Maluri, Kepong which is both near to my parents place and to Desa Park City. The boyfriends love the fact that it’s near Desa Park because i quote “It’s easier when we move to Desa Park in a few years time, it’s just next door” to which i rolled my eyes and replied “Dream on lar” -_-”.

Me, i just like that it’s near Desa Park so i could walk my dogs and go jogging in the well-guarded park without feeling that i’m in danger of being kidnapped by a sadist rapist.

If the prices goes up anymore i suggested that we do some haunting. Yes, haunting.

I think it’s a great idea, to spread rumors that the houses in the neighboring housing projects are haunted then dress as ghouls at night and prowl the area to make it more real. Then the price would go down and we would grab the house immediately.

Note that i said neighboring projects, not the one in Desa Park City because in case our plans backfires or something happens, the ones in Desa Park is still available when we retire.

Nah, i’m just kidding. I’m not going as a ghoul, the boyfriend is.

Buying Your Dream House

I don’t know how people do it. Purchasing a new property i mean.

How do people get a new house and still have money to dine at expensive restaurants, join in the mega sale frenzy, change mobile phones like changing undies and on top of that have the luxury to travel whole year round.

It sounds impossible but i see ~~and hear~~ people around me proving me wrong.

How do you do it?? Please tell me the secret! Pretty please, with a big lump of Royce chocolate on top?

We have not even begun looking for a house and yet thinking about buying one already made us live like paupers.

Like,

1) We no longer go out for movies in the weekend. Instead we buy illegal pirated DVDs and watch it at home instead. (Of course with a 42″ plasma we recently bought for a extremely good “discount” makes it less pathetic).

2) We no longer dine out during the weekend. Well, sometimes but maybe once or twice a month. Instead we tuck our dignities under the couch and be content taking on the parasite role dining at my mother’s place else we cook our rather miserly dinner at home.

3) Shopping is a rare treat nowadays. We even shunt sales, opting to pamper ourselves with just one item per month… errr… mostly the one item is my stuff lar because he’s sweet like that to sacrifice his share :P.

4) Buying skin care samples online instead of from the mall and feeling surprisingly happy about it. It’s really cost saving and you get the same thing with a lower price!

5) Auctioning used or un-used items (clothes, skin care, handbags, etc) online.

6) We dig into the big bottle of coins we used to stash extra change to buy snacks and pay for small stuff instead of just chucking it in the bottle or on top of the coffee table where it’ll go missing and forgotten.

After all these, i’m still thinking of ways to save more money for future down payment and renovation. So, tell me how do people do it?

How’s the World Cup doing? I have no idea. Right now, i’m just grinning to myself and chuckling because it annoys people that i always support the less popular teams in matches. It doesn’t matter that i don’t even know what’s going on. It’s just funny.

Home Sweet Home

Last night the boyfriend and i had our very first serious chat about our future new home.

We’ve been wanting to get a new place since forever… ok the word forever refers to me rather than him but the point is we never actually got down and discuss about what we liked or disliked and more important of all what are the no-no/prohibited stuff that god knows should not be seen in the house.

For example square shaped bathroom basin. Don’t ask me why but i have a very strong feeling about this. I just can’t have square shaped basin. And that’s not the only thing i feel strongly about.

There’s also the thing with mirrors. I have a habit of avoiding mirrors at night – it’s creepy. So there shouldn’t be mirrors in the house except for the bathroom and inside the wardrobe.

And, and bathroom curtains. I am totally disgusted with bathroom curtains so i shall have a glass divider in the bathroom instead.

There are loads of other weird OCD stuff that we discussed. It was a pleasant surprise to find out how much the boyfriend and i have in common and how similar our thoughts were regarding the new house even though we never discussed this up till last night.

This by the way is my dream home. The interior anyways and the color tone :)).

Home Sweet Home

Mr. Bf is living in a condo but i don’t really like condos. It’s very confined and it’s difficult to clean. He’s at the 4th story but you can’t imagine the dust it accumulates just after one day of cleaning. The higher you stay the dustier it gets. So i demanded that the main window to be closed at all times else i’m not stepping into the house.

The unit doesn’t look like the home i dreamed about but a little better looking than a rented unit. We’ve decided not to renovate it or furnish it properly because i… er i mean we really want a landed property in the future… if we get married. Ok, laugh at me coz i am thinking about getting married -_-”.

Back to the topic, so now the house is like with cheap marble floors that tends to accumulate dirt and hair seems to be everywhere and i have dust allergy which sux. Cheap tiles are really the worst. It’s hard to clean. The kitchen looks like there’s a chemistry project gone wrong in there. Sigh…

I wonder when can we get a new place so he can sell this condo lot off. I already have all the rooms planed especially the library. There will be a tiny DIY workshop for Mr. Bf, separate work rooms for us both (ok, we are weird and like our privacy very well), a master bedroom, and a library. Part of the kitchen will have a glass ceiling for enough sunlight. I have the colors and furniture and deco all drawn in my head. We need to earn more. Sigh…
