first council meeting

forgive me for being here twice, and at office hours too. i have too much time at hand that i am going wonkers not knowing what to do. i'm munching on some leftover junk from yesterday while typing this..

i should just have taken leave today but i was absent for 2 days already this week. wouldn't be very nice for the people to see. although actually i never care much what people say but i pity my boss for causing him trouble. ;p

not in the mood of hopping blogs today because my office computer is damnnn slowwwww! potong stim bila nak baca. so, i'm going to save that for at home later. looking at my current blogroll on the right side, don't be fooled by that. i read more than that. since i'm a lazy wuss ass, i never bother to update my blogger. instead, i just bookmarked the blogs i read. saves hassle and space, anyway. so, don't think because some of you might not be in the blogroll, i don't read you. i do, in fact. i would die of boredom (at office) without you guys. heehee

okay, i mentioned earlier (can't remember when) that i bought a house somewhere in bangi. it should have been ready by now, but the developer is behind almost 2 months. of course, thay will have to pay compensation, but you these guys, they charge you for late payment as quick as lightning and when they have to pay us, it will near to doomsday. metaphorically speaking okay.

nevertheless, syarif and i always check on the progress and i can see they are coming on nicely. roads are tarred, grass planted, road signs are up. i assume CF is in progress, i hope.

you should know that the buyers have set up a forum wayyyyyy before the poles were up last two year. i registered as a member last week (such a slowcoach i am!) and last few days, an active member texted inviting to the very first council meeting. how cool is that? heeeheee. semangat okay. of course, i said yes, but i do not have any intention of being a rep for any neighborhood. not saying that i hate to mingle with people, i'm just helping them by not appointing a lazy ass who will take forever to get things done. ;p

in a way, i think it's good what they are doing now. last time i lived in seri kembangan, i never actually knew my neighbours well. yelah, i left for work before dawn break and came home nearly midnight. and if to say someone broke in next door, i won't even know because i don't even recognise them! so, in the spirit of a new home, i'm trying to change that. good thing is that most of the neighbours are of young generation so i hope we'll gel well.

put that aside, i have to plan necessary things to be done once i get the house keys. need to do some wiring, lightings, fans, and of course the kitchen. it's ridiculous to hear kitchen cabinets are worth of thousands!!! even the midget ones... and you'll go ohh even small cabinets cost a fortune might as well make bigger cabinets. and you'll eat sand and rocks for the rest of your life after all is done.

i kid you not.

i mean, how far are you willing to spend just to make a perfect home, the house of your dreams? i know that some people did the crazy works just to impress people. biar papa, asal bergaya. it's silly, i know, but us humans are so easily sucked up to what people around say. i, for one, at times can be that too but perhaps for (not) entirely different purpose. you can't let people come over to a barren unfurnished home, can you? oh the horror!

so here's my priority list:
1. cooktop and oven
2. some cabinets for necessary storing
3. lights and fans
4. wiring

that's all i can think of right now. you might say, whatt??? only that? humphh!.
that, my friends, could mount up to 3 month salary!

so, the furnitures might have to wait. besides, if i'm having lots of people coming over, i need all the space i can, so see that as a BONUS. housewarming/yassin recital will happen, Insya Allah. let's just hope that it won't be for long now.

people say you get for what you pay. i believe that some good things should be reasonably priced. because nowadays, you pay a fortune for a certain brand regardless the look and taste AND still MADE IN CHINA, just like the rest of other cheap stuff. that's blinding stupid i say. even cheap products are such a ridiculous price, making us resort to products with well known brands but same quality as the cheap ones. see, how people suck up to this kind of thing? i'm like that too, sometimes. ;p

oh yeah, any good suggestions who can do ID for people on budget like me? ;p
