PRU13 - The Malaysian Election

It's been two days after the biggest and most anticipated General Election of Malaysia which took place on 05 May 2013.

Malaysians of ALL RACES have spoken, strange things have allegedly happened and results are out.

Some will be happy and some will be sad.  Alas, life goes on.  So is the quest for a Government that truly cares for the welfare of all the true citizens of Malaysia.

God bless Malaysia and all peace loving Malaysians!

Regards

Your fellow Malaysian

Welcoming The Snake Year 2013

Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Happy Chinese New Year!
Selamat Tahun Baru Cina!

Looking forward to more fireworks on 9th Day of CNY

Somehow I have a feeling that Malaysians have been suffering from 'holiday fatigue' with the never ending holidays from festivities since the last quarter of 2012 because the mood this Chinese New Year just isn't quite the same.  Well, perhaps it's just me.  Anyway, enjoy the holidays.  It's for everyone regardless of race or religion.

In this Chinese New Year of the Snake 2013, I wish all readers: 

"Good Fortune, Great Health & Warmest of Love Within Your Family"

Often times, 'Fortune', 'Health' and 'Love' have not been properly understood and used by many in it's truest and most basic form until it is too late.  Well, humans being imperfect, I guess we just have to keep reminding and educating each other that true, lasting happiness and wealth can only be achieved when we are able to share those three words with our family members.

Like every other Chinese New Year before this, many will be gambling and playing fireworks and  even more will be indulging in their favourite delicacies.   To those who gamble, please treat it not as a money making opportunity but as an opportunity for reunion with friends and relatives.  To those who play fireworks, play safe and consider people and properties around you.  Finally, to all who love their food, please remember that there is always another day and another time where we will get to eat our favourite foods.  So, there's really no need to push the limits of our stomach.  Stay healthy, be happy!

Tasty! Yummy! Ouch?

Happy 2013

Happy New Year to all readers!

Wow, has been a while since my last posting, having stuffed my fair share of durians into my stomach.  This coupled with the endless wedding dinners in the months of November and December 2012 certainly gave me a very prosperous start to 2013 - I now have a more prosperous waistline and even more prosperous weight.

I guess the first New Year Resolution should be to continue posting more useful and/or informative data in this blog.  Am glad to see that readership has not dropped.  I'm guessing the readers are those who are looking for a good alternative to the busy and expensive city living, and as I have initially guessed when starting this blog, prices have been moving North.  Good news for owners, bad news for buyers.  

Noticed in www.iproperty.com.my a couple of Genting Tiara bungalow lots for sale asking for above RM60 psf.  Bear in mind these lots are situated near the guardhouse, meaning they are the lowest situated lots in the vicinity, meaning if these lots successfully transact at or above RM60 psf, owners of lots on the higher grounds can look forward to even higher pricings.  Naturally, land is a scarcity and cost of land can only move up over time.

Meantime, just want to share with everyone a scene which greeted me one morning as I stepped out of the house around 8am.  Hmm, guess I don't wake up early enough every morning.  Visibility was way low (could not see the houses which were barely 200m away, but the feeling was like being in paradise and every breath taken in felt special.  Added to that a cool 23 deg Celsius (darn, how do I key in the  'o' symbol on top to replace spelling out degrees) and I really did not want to go back to the city, but I do not have that luxury of doing so as yet : )
