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 : )
