It has been a long time lah tak update blog ni. I sold my camera D90 except my lenses. Looking to get a new FF type, but have to wait lah. Buat masa ni, pakai camera handphone je and my old nikon point n shoot camera.
Cerita pulak pasal tanah.....Actually the future house was located in Tanah Jambu, but because of a big argument with the developer we ran away. This contractor is a big liar and not responsible to their customer. They had increased the price of the house from $130k to $145k. Due to their insincerity, we only paid their house plan and no more longer with them. , bought a land in Jangsak last year and now it's time to build a house. The land itself is not that big, roughly 0.1777 acres got it from a broker via my colleague. Boleh lah untuk satu buah rumah. Lagipun, it's near to town and mesjid. One thing it's a very busy area: main road frontage. Nevermind lah as long as I'm happy.
Lucky that the land is a flat area, only some bits of uneven surface. Neighbours bagi tahu, dulu tempat ni bekas padi. Sekarang dah jadi lalang, kena lah tebas. Penat juga menebas lalang pakai mesin sikut. It's not an easy job really, mata pisau pun boleh tumpul. Before the grass was cut by an Indian guy. I paid him $70 for that. After clearing it is now easy for me to find the land marker (a marker that shows your land area).

House plan took nearly a year to make it officially approved by Jabatan Perancang. This is because of so many issues involved i.e. from the irresponsible architect and its style slow.com, uncooperative government section, excess road clearance to the house and so on. We are the ones who had to chase all the way up to the finish line. To make it short, Alhamdullilah it had settled now. Thanks also to my wife's friend that had managed to approve the house plan on time for me to grab the HOS loan. Satu hari je lagi to end the 5 years agreement, if not I will end up with frustration...rugi lah after 5 years, my loan entitlement shorten to 48 months. Nasib memang baik.
Back to the house story. We went to 7 house contractors (no need to mention lah). The house was about 2370 sq.ft. They gave us the price from $106k to $145k respectively with their fully imagination and style of creativity and thinking. I took that as an advantage. I don't know whether it's true on what they had mentioned.....hope it's true. 2 contractors penipu besar, 1 pula cakap besar, 1 lagi was out of the box (takut juga), the other one was quite expensive. 1 contractor honestly speaking that he was unable to do it due high price. So he asked me to go to his brother. From there, we meet him and now we stick to this contractor since his price was not that bad after all and had a good knowledge of building a house. He's a good house contractor and he kept his promises.
After signing between HOS and the bank (took almost 4 months though), the building of the house begins.
Will update the blog again and more photos soon.
