Our Dream Home

Daddy and I have started looking for our own place in KL. Well I guess if we have decided to stay here for good, it makes more sense to own the roof over our heads rather than paying rental every month. The problem is houses in this area are not cheap. We have to fork out RM550k minimum for a terrace link house in original condition or with jaded renovation. So we started looking into new developments and we found Damansara Idaman.

Whao, it blew us away! It is a development of 54 units of semi-detached houses on a piece of freehold land, comes with 24-hr security, clubhouse, swimming pool, etc. We visited the showhouses and they were all soooo beautiful and the price tags were beautiful too! The cheapest unsold unit with better facing comes with a hefty price tag of RM2million!!!

*Sigh* *Sigh* *Sigh* The houses are really pretty with modern design and finishings BUT the price is way beyond out budget. We really love it but unless the developer gives us a 50% discount and we will probably consider ... otherwise we will just continue with our search ...

Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother's in advance of the weekend cos we do not believe in giving those greedy, profit-driven, heartless businessmen a chance to make extra pennies from our hard-earned money. Our orignal plan included Sofia but since she was sick, we had no choice but to leave her at home. Moreover, she has recently reduced her nap frequency to only once a day and knock out around 7:30pm at night. So Daddy, my mum and I had a night out today by ourselves!
We do not know of many good restaurants in this place yet but we passed by some attractive restaurants in One Bangsar the other day. The restaurants attracted us cos they operated out of beautiful houses with very cosy setting and neatly trimmed garden. It was a perfect setting to unwind and get ready for the weekend. We choose the one which served Vietnamnese fine dining. Fortunately the choice turned out correct and we had a lovely dinner there!
Our programme for the second half of the night was to scale the Petronas Twin Tower but we only made it there at 9:30pm after many series of wrong turns. Yes, I was the driver. To our disappointment, there is no public access to the top of the towers, the furthest we can go is the skybridge AND tickets to the skybridge are given out daily at 8AM! There are limited tickets available daily and usually the tickets would not last more than half an hour!?!?!
We were REALLY disappointed. Really disappointed. We had thought it would be like the city towers in Melbourne and Sydney and we just pay to go up. In the end we strolled around the area and took some shots of the jewels from the bottom.
We are still very interested in getting on the skybridge BUT how on earth are we going make it to KLCC at 8AM? The roads are all jammed up and we are likely to lose our way ... unless we leave the house at 6am in our pajamas??

Flu Again!

Just got back from Kuching today after a one day meeting and found Sofia coughing again!!! Really don't know why, does kids at this age really fall sick that often?
Everyone gets worried and uptight when she is sick and of course I am going to be badly deprived of sleep again during this period.

Kindermusik

We brought Sofia to Kindermusik yesterday morning. Unfortunately it was a weekend class and there were so many first timers that we had more than 10 babies! There were 4 month old ones all the way to walkers, like Sofia. Looking at those little babies remind us of her baby time, so cooperative ... unlike now, she spends half the time walking around on her own looking at other kids or going to the glass door to peer into the outside world. And we spend half the time coaxing and bringing her back to the group, hoping that she will not throw a tantrum.

As this was just a trial class, we concluded we have to try out the next age group class (18 mth - 3 yo) and see if she fits better there.

A Sleeping Cat

Our pet FeFe is also settling down very well in the new place, just look at how she sleeps. I like to watch a sleeping cat, they sleep without a care in the world. Even if the sky were to drop on them the next minute, it does not seems to bother them. I have always longed to have a cat whom I can hug to sleep, it is really nice cos their body temperature is higher than human so hugging them to sleep keeps me warm and the fur feels so nice to touch. Unfortunately none of the cats I have adopted like to sleep with me, they prefer to sleep alone. Humph!
