Relocation Process..

Monday, June 04, 2012 Bushra Tajuddin 4 Comments Category : ♥ Lil' Home ♥

Assalamualaikum sweeties~!! ♥

Phew~!! Alhamdulillah.. praise to Allah SWT that the relocation process went pretty well. Of course there's a hiccup here and there during the process but we really believed that there's a hikmah behind each and every things happened.

The House Keys & Cleaning Up Process

We plan to clean up the house once we got the keys on Saturday, 26th May. After having our breakfast at Bangi, we head off to the housing area office. Unfortunately, we reached there quite early and the office was still closed. Thus, we decided to just headed over to the house and clean up the lawn while waiting for the staff to come. enche nYomoT had done his task perfectly! At 11.00 AM, I went to the office to get the house keys.

At the office..
To my surprise, all this while we are expecting the wrong house!! Oh, come on.. Can't we just change the house? Yes, I admit.. That's our fault for not double check the house before we proceed with cleaning the lawn & etc. Unfortunately, we couldn't do that. OK. Never mind. Let's proceed with cleaning up process. We don't have much time to argue this and that.

At the house..
After receiving the house keys, we headed over to the actual house to clean up the inside of the house. The design of the house is still the same but with different angle. Never mind. Done with the cleaning, we started to measure all the windows for curtain's railing purpose. The sink tap was not really good. Therefore, enche nYomoT plan to find the tap's replacement. Before going back, we did our last task.. to find the kiblah. Upon that, we realized that there's a hikmah why we didn't get the other house. If we get that other house, the kiblah in our bedroom will be facing the toilet! Alhamdulillah, we got this actual house! Once again, Thank you ALLAH!

The Packing

A day before the moving out day, enche nYomoT got a fever. I was really worried since the moving out day is just tomorrow! I've tried my best to take care of him and at the same time packing the stuffs. Alhamdulillah.. I manage to do both. I've done packing those major things. The things left was the fridge and our bedroom/bathroom stuffs, which we still need to use them for a night. And enche nYomoT seems getting better. Phew~!!

A speedy recovery. Yippie~!!

The Relocation Process

The moving out day is on Tuesday, 29th May. Alhamdulillah.. enche nYomoT has been recovered from his fever. As early as 6.00 AM, we started to pack all the things. Guess what? After done with the packing, we somehow realized that a ton (metric) lorry couldn't accommodate our stuffs. Oh my.. what should we do? enche nYomoT as usual, being a cool guy. He just told me to tawakkal to Allah. We'll see how it goes.

At 10.15 AM, the lorry came. Once the lorry guy (Azmi) saw our stuffs, he told us that a ton lorry couldn't accommodate our stuffs. We need 3 tonnes lorry. Lucky us, he brought 3 tonnes lorry instead of a ton. Yippie~!! We just need to add in another RM150 (Total = RM450). We both agreed and the movers started doing their job.

Loading the stuffs into the lorry

By 12.30 PM, all the stuffs moved into the lorry. enche nYomoT gave our full address to Azmi and we asked them to have their lunch on their way. We stop by at Bangi to buy our lunch and head off to our lil' home. Before reaching home, we saw the lorry that brought our stuffs and enche nYomoT said "Eh, tu bukan lori kita ke?". Woww~!! They're even faster than us! And they even have had their lunch! Tihihi..

The fully-covered (bonded) 3 tonnes lorry

While the movers unloading our stuffs.. we enjoyed our lunch. HAHA!

And surprisingly, the job done once we finished our lunch. Very efficient huh..??

We personally think that they're fully recommended! If by any chance you're looking for a lorry to hire for office/house relocation.. you may consider Azmi's transportation service. They're super-fast and easy to deal with. Please contact : 010-7180098 (Azmi)

Journey of the House Hunting!

Saturday, May 26, 2012 Bushra Tajuddin 2 Comments Category : ♥ Lil' Home ♥ , Our Ups ♥ Downs

Assalamualaikum sweeties~!! ♥

If you read through this entry, you will know that we're urgently looking for a house for rent somewhere near Putrajaya. We've started the process of house hunting since March. And it was somehow really challenging. We never expect that it'll be a very stressful process. I'll write down the story of our stressful yet interesting house hunting journey here, for something to value in the future.

Requirements of house hunting:-

Location: Putrajaya, Bangi, Serdang, Dengkil, Kota Warisan, Bandar Salak Tinggi or Nilai. Type of House: Single storey (preferable) or apartment.
Rental rate: RM 650/month (max).

To start off, we chose Online House Hunting as we can see that this is the easiest way. Via Internet (e.g: mudah.my & iproperty), we checked on the type of house, location and budget. Voila! The list of houses displayed on the screen. But hey, there's only two ads? Impossible. HAHA. Putrajaya is a HOT location, sweeties. Therefore, the location nearby would be highly demanding too. And the price will crazily increasing too.

OK. Noted. With a maximum rental rate budget of RM650/month, what can you expect? Yes, that is the maximum that we can accept. Take it or leave it. Oh, no. We must still stick to the single storey house. MUST!

Let's try the second option - Traditional House Hunting. We would say that, this is the most stressful process. We went to each and every location nearby Putrajaya looking for advertisement of house for rent. Morning til evening. We got nothing but extremely tired! Not to mention that I've been infected with dengue fever + prolonged fever (please read this to know more). So we went home kecewa. Sobs sobs..

We started to feel the stress after I had reported my duty at the new office - Putrajaya on April. Since then, our life changed. We went out for work at 6:20 AM everyday to avoid traffic jam in KL. Back home with a massive traffic would be an unnecessary additional stress.

With those stresses, we have to quickly find the house. We actively do the house hunting via Internet on weekdays and traditional house hunting on weekends. On another note, we only had weekends for any viewing arrangement.

Sometimes, we manage to set for viewing arrangement. But unfortunately, we're not able to view the house because the house was taken by someone else. This happens many times.

Some other time, we manage to view the house. But the house was not up to our requirements. We normally view the house which is within our budget. This process repeated for months.

Until one day.. the house hunting is really sickening us. So, we resorted to just accept which ever house within our budget & location. We made a last phone call to set for viewing arrangement after searching via Internet. On last Saturday, we viewed the house. The house is OK despite it's a high rise 4-level apartment without lift (*sigh). We decided to confirm the house on the next day after doing some surveys.

Before going back home, we drove to the location nearby to survey for shops/stalls, restaurants, petrol station and etc. Suddenly, we saw a new single storey housing area. There's a few houses occupied while the others are still empty. There's also an advertisement "Rumah untuk disewa". Can you imagine how excited we are? HAHA. enche nYomoT made a call immediately. Guess what? We've been instructed to find the second last house, next to a corner house with a banner. It's their office, peeps!

Ok. don't be too excited. We need to know the rental rate first. HAHA.

As soon as we found the office, we asked for the details of the rental house. The staff explained and explained and explained. We couldn't hide our excitement. Yes, the rental rate is within our budget or even cheaper. I can see the lights! Woohoo~!!

Details of the houses:-

Location: Kuala Langat. 20km from Putrajaya
Type of House: Single storey with 3R & 2B / 4R & 2B
Rental rate: RM 450-600/month

* Ehem. Can you see the lights too..?? Heheee.

They have a few empty houses for rent with the rental rate range of RM 450-600/month. The rental rate is depending on the type of the house (3R & 2B / 4R & 2B, Corner Lot / End Lot / Intermediate Lot).

We asked for the permission to view 2 intermediate houses with 3R & 2B. (Read: 2 houses, sweeties!) This type should be more than enough for the two of us. After viewing the houses, we decided to choose one of the house. We fell in love right after viewing the house.

If you've read our previous entry here, you'll see the picture of the house. Nevermind, I'll tepek here again. Tihihi..

Our house hunting was a long & extremely tiring journey. But we couldn't say much how grateful we are to finally found this lil' home despite all the difficulties along the way. THANK YOU ALLAH!

We'll write more about the progress of moving out and moving in later.

Till next time sweeties~!!
