i have just been to heaven on earth or some ppl called it as Small Perhentian Island in Terengganu. ITS TOTALLY AWESOME!! We went there by bus on wednesday night. the bus was at 9.30 p.m and arrived in Besut, Terengganu at 4.30a.m in the morning. We took the earliest boat ride (thanx to our mr boat man, KAMAL) to the island at like 6 in the morning. the journey was new to all of us well, most of us. ITS REALLY BUMPY cz the wave was quite choppy but it was fun nonetheless. The view was amazing. Sunrise. Crystal clear turqoise water. What els do u want right? ITS TOTALLY HEAVEN ON EARTH!!

We arrived at our chalet, Lily Chalet at 7 and had to wait for 4 hours (yawn) till we can check in. While waiting we had scrumptious breakfast, me not really a breakfast person, so it has to be something to make me eat in the morning. the room is pretty ok, quite spacious and has a fridge. And the bathroom can fit at least 10 people in. haha. After settled in, we went to daniel's cafe and had lunch. The price is reasonable and the food is rather delicious.

At 2 Kamal pickd us up and our awesome trip had just started. We went snorkeling at 3 different spots, saw fishies, turtles and sharks. BUT I DIN SEE NO SHARK, hell no! me not going in, watch too much national geographic. Even tho its a vegetarian shark. Shark is always a shark! But the most awesome thing in this whole trip would be chilling out at ROMANTIC BEACH!! its indescribable. Its a private beach and the water is crystal clear!


Later that nite we had dinner at Panorama and called it an early nite. All of us were pretty pooped!

The next day started as early as 8 in the morning. We went snorkeling and island hopping, We went to Redang, Lang tengah and another island which i cant remember what its called. me personally dont like Redang, its overtly commercialised and the crowd aint that happening. More swimming with fishies and checking out corals. 


We went back at around 6 and had dinner at around 9. We adjourned to Palm trees for some fun. Its just our luck cz they had full moon party that nite with bon fire and everything. MAJOR HAWTNESS!!

The next morning i woke up with this severe headache for sum obvious reason. We headed to the beach and chilled out for the whole day. Its really sad to say good bye to the island but oh well, back to reality as amy would say it.

after 8 freakin excruciating painfully months, my abah doesnt have to wear the tube and the bag anymore. Praise the lord! We all so happy that he doesnt have to put up with that bag thing and back to normal. 

Patience REALLY is a virtue!

OMG...iv finally did it after three years of looking the right place to buy and to stay.

Its Parkville Townhouses by Bukit Hitam Development in haha..bandar bukit puchong 2. I was never in  a million years imagined myself staying in puchong but with that price and nicely designed exterior, i fell in love straight away.

How i stumbled upon this property kinda accidental, i was reading 1 of the property reviews in property blogspot when i saw the review about this project. No photos of the development but i found a link and 1 of the commentators is kindly enough to scan the brochure and I SAW THE PIXS. Its prettyyyyyyy..and love at first sight! the next day straight away, accompanied by my girls (eileen and pam), we drove to puchong. After 20 turns and u-turns we arrived. Its fated, its prettier than the pixs...It has that australian design thingy to it (the exterior) and the lay out (the upper unit) is pretty cozy, homely and unusual than ur normal landed property. We drove to the sales office in a storm and we were drenched wet and talked to the sales person. They had 3 more units from the first phase with VERY attractive price. Believe me after scouting more than 2 years, u cant get that kind of price for any other freehold and nicely g&g designed property. 

I gave myself 1 day to think about it and after talking to the property gurus (Woei hern, Mike and others; thanx guys)...i decided to put in booking fees. 

And yey..iv finally did it, sorting out my bank loan now. Its pretty scary but exciting at the same time. Oh its my biggest purchase ever.And finally now, I M FIT to buy a house. Looking back i think my financial trouble has really teached me a lesson and im better because of it.
