Projek Rumah Berhemah

Selepas 9 bulan Projek Rumah Berhemah complete, baru hari ni berkesempatan untuk menulis dalam dear diary. I bought this house in Sunway Kayangan, Shah Alam nearby my mom's house. Cam biasa la anak mama. Bought in March 2013 but the transfer title took much time than expected though transfer from bumi to bumi. The house is semi furnished with grill, lighting and fan.

Nama projek pun berhemah, untuk menunjukkan betapa ciputnya budget yang ada to call my house a home. Bahasa ringkasnya..memberi roh kepada rumah.

First Floor
Superlink Sunway Kayangan
Ni adalah floor plan first plan. No major change. Just new painting and installation of laminated floor at the family hall. Also, benda-benda kecik like water heater, towel holder, sink cabinet and built in cabinet inside master bedroom and the boys' room. Nama je benda kecik..tapi ongkosnya..berpeluh.

Since we are moving from a 850 sqft apartment to a double storey terrace house, till now rumah tu bergema lagi sebab still kosong. Kumpul duit dulu la ye nak penuh kan rumah.

Ground Floor Superlink
Sunway Kayangan
 For ground floor involve structure renovation. I just habiskan 5' at the backyard to avoid kucing berak etc. Size rumah ni agak pelik dr normal terrace house. It is square 30' by 30'.After my reno now it become 30' by 35'. Dah terlanjur rumah berhabuk, buat sekaligus plaster ceiling kat ground floor, painting and my play room..kitchen cabinet. 

Tak de la panggil ID bagai, I designed my house with a very limited budget. But hasilnya alhamdulillah. But ID memang one of my skill..hehe..

Overview sikit-sikit je la kan. This is dining area.
Tampal korean wallpaper.
Dapur yang paling banyak kos sebab ni kan tempat melepaskan stress. So belanja lebih sikit la kat sini. Hubby pun kata OK sebab nak feed perut dia jugakkan. Hehe..Yang paling best sebab hasrat aku nak buat laundry area ala2 IKEA menjadi realiti.

Dah lama teringin nk kitchen cabinet with aluminium roller:)

Material bawah is alumunium.
Senang nak lap kalo goreng2 sambal.
Atas and the tall unit is nyatoh.
Why putih? my dapur is so sempit.
Lantai is 4G laminated floor from Floor Depot
Small dining area. Hubby poyo nak tempat letak
kicap, sos kat dinding ala2 restoran katanya

Travelogue 3: Guangzhou, China Part 2

Day 3 - 26 January 2013

No picture taken as photographer were busy buying stuff i.e. gadgets, computer's hardware and accessories. Some of it were fake and some were up to standard. My brother bought the original XBOX 360 at Ganding Computer Digital. It was a great bargain. But seriously don't ever buy hard disc in Guagzhou. It's appearance looks promising but it's actually a pendrive that packed into a big case so that it will look like a hard disc.

Camera (DSLR) accessories were easily available along Dashatao Road. In conclusion, the whole day was spent for gadgets and camera accessories.

We had our lunch at the Muslim Restaurant nearby and pray at Huasheng Mosque
Sate again
Masjid Saad Abi Waqqas aka Huasheng Mosque
.
At night, we had some photography session at Pearl River.

Day 4 - 27 January 2013

We went to Haizhu Square to shop for clothing. Afternoon until evening, we went to Shangxia ju Pedestrian Street. Not only for shopping, but looking at the local people's culture and scenic view.




On day 4, we need to find formula milk for Kimi. Luckily, my brother in law can read the kanji..as he said it is almost the same as Japanese kanji. Other than that, we were also running out of Maggi, bread and tuna. At the apartment lobby, we met a group of Malaysian tourists and they gave us a contact number for Malay cook in town. So for the next day's breakfast, we had Nasi Lemak..Ooh I missed Malaysia's food.

Day 5 - 28 January 2013

After having a great breakfast, we went to Baiyun Shan or also known as White Cloud Mountain.We took a cablecar ride to witness the scenery from the peak of Baiyun Mountain. Lots of local people from all walks of life walking up the mountain using the jungle trail. According to our translator, if we walked up, it will take around 4 hours to reach the peak at normal walking rate.

Our last destination was Baiyun World Leather Trading Centre. High grade AAAAAA branded handbags...
We stopped by at the nearby Mosque accidentally found using Google Map.

Day 6 - 29 January 2013

As mentioned before, shopping at Zhongda Fabric Market was considered as unsuccessful . Therefore, we had extra of 20kg untilize luggage despite of my cuzzy and abah bought a stainless steel pipe. My hubby bought a heavy computer power supply. Other than that fabric for few metres, handbags and toys.

Our flight that morning was on schedule. I had a tremendously delicious Nasi Beriani in flight. Ahha, maybe I missed Malaysia's food badly and Nasi Beriani in Air Asia kind of hit the spot.

-The End of Guangzhou Trip-

Travelogue 3: Guangzhou, China Part 1

Finally, I got the opportunity to share on our vacation to Guangzhou, China. We went there in January 2013 and I was pregnant at that time. Luckily no vomit, no headache yet. Together with me are hubby and kimi, my newly wed sister, mama, abah, lil bro and cuzzy.

We took a midnight flight on my abah's 50th birthday, 23 January 2013. The 4 hours journey via Air Asia was smooth. Kimi is not crying or not even awake. Arrived early in the morning, our translator, Dorinky and the hired driver (wearing army shirt everyday) brought us to the booked accommodation. We booked a serviced apartment nearby Beijing Road named, Sunny Private Apartment Hotel of Grand Continental.

Day 1 - 24 January 2013

We brought sambal ikan bilis (hot dried anchovies), serunding (beef floss) and nasi impit (rice) from Malaysia. So that was our breakfast for first day.

Our first destination to visit was Xiang Jiang Wildlife Safari located in Fanyu District, Guangzhou. The ticket price though pricey but it's worth it.









The animal here are well-fed compared to Zoo in Malaysia.
Hippotamus
Siberian Tiger
Koala on the Eucalyptus Tree
Elephant Show
Cuddly Panda
Giraffe and Zebra
Dinosaur park also appeared to be attractive here.
Next destination on the first day was Baomo Graden also located in Fanyu District.

Among the highlights are the Bao Zheng culture, ancient architecture, carvings, sculpture and the river cruise.

Day 2 - 25 January 2014
We went to Zhongda Fabric Market. Not as expected. The worst shopping experience ever. It was so difficult to choose from a 2" x 2" sample. And we need to wait for 3 days for them to bring the chosen material to the shopping centre and pick up the fabric at the shop. There were hundreds of look alike shops in the Fabric Market and it was so confusing.

We had our lunch at the nearby Muslim Restaurant (walking distance).
After that, we continue shopping at Beijing Road (Beijing Lu). Walking distance from our apartment. It was a nice walk here and we had a delicious halal sate there.

Malang tak Berbau

Di kala kerja di office yang begitu hectic..aku dianugerahkan MC selama satu bulan oleh orthopedic from Ramsay Sime Darby Medical Centre.

Mengapakah??

Tersepak bucu kitchen cabinet..sounds funny rite??
After X-Ray kat Klinik Menara, the result is chipped bone on my 5th finger..and I was referred to Ortho specialist at SDMC.

Ingatkan nak pergi PCMC, then leh terus g office..but angan2 tinggi sangat nak pegi ofis..bejalan pun seksa..

Inilah keputusan x-ray yg telah diconteng oleh Mr Hubby..Tp bila sampai SDMC, doctor said for adult this is not chipped bone, is patah..okay..now sounds serious.

OKU
But luckily takde la nak kena operate or cement bagai. Is just treatment via buddy system. just tie-kan the next finger so that during the healing process, the bone will grow straight.

The bad news is portion yang patah tu is on my nerve. So it will be painful for the rest of my life or the doctor offered to fuse the nerve.


Now scary..just tunggu dan lihat lah whether the pain is bearable or not..poor me.
