My little corner of the world..

For the past one month, we have been toying with the idea whether or not to buy this house that we fell in love with in Bukit Jelutong. To buy or not to buy...,that was the question!!! Adoiii it was a grand headache tau tak!!! Alhamdullillah, after Istikharah and all, God had answered our prayers last night when we had finally put down the booking money. It was actually a surprise from Nizam. Initially he told me someone else had already put down the booking money. I was dissappointed of course! Then the next day (yesterday), he told me that we managed to get the house somehow! Then, I was confused...,so unsure of what to feel...to be thrilled or not after such an initial dissappointment! Now I'm glad that we did though! So now I don't have to worry about not having a place to stay when we go home for good. Hopefully things will go on smoothly so we can move in right away end June. InsyaAllah!!!

Earlier on, we had decided to rent out our Mahligai apartment since we've got good tenant and return! I guess now it's starting all over again..I have to start thinking and planning about equipping the new house, since we are practically starting from scratch!
I love this place actually..,the neighbourhood, it's quite isolated and quiet in its own way, but not totally cut off from the rest of the world.

As we enter the Greenlane area (that's what the house collection is called) on top of the hill, we could feel a sense of serinity and calmness...That's what I love best. At least traffic would be a bit low. The house is pale mustard in colour and looking at them sitting in a row reminds me of some Spanish houses. The interior? Well, I am sure that when we have visitors coming to this corner of the world of ours, they will be in for a shock!~its deep dark purple in colour (as in Fanta Grape) at the living and dining area... and shocking pink along the staircase!!! What a combination ey???!!! haha! We saw this house the last time we went back for home leave and fell in love with it since! The good vibes and the lingering smell of the 'Lovely Lace' potpourri around convinced me even more. It was beautifully kept and decorated. I'm going to have a gala of a time with colour play! This will definitely test me on my interior decorating skill. For me, this is a nice change from my usual Traditional English decoration that I always opted for! One thing though, lucky that my furnitures that we've been slowly collecting here are mainly off white in colour, so that would off set the deep purple tone that we have on the wall! As for the kitchen, it is overlooking the garden in the backyard, so it's going to make me feel like I'm cooking outside in the garden instead!

I told Nizam that I wanted to stay with that 'happening' colours for a while, just for the fun of it, until we get tired of them, then I want to put on the wall paper. He's okay with it as long as we have a Japanese corner at one side. Okay English combined with Japanese decoration...what a marriage huh! I guess I'm going to have our dining area as our Japanese corner since we already have a Japanese dining table. So I'm going to make that usefull before we get a new one...and the rest is definitely English! ~cantik tak? ala ala Spa Q laa pulak kan colour combination tuh???! Hihi!!!
