A Run at the Pool

The boys couldn't stop running around our empty apartment. It won't be empty for long as we would start to move stuffs by next weekend. I would also be sleeping there as I would be on call on Friday.

I installed the Internet and wifi, and took the boys to explore the facilities. The pool was really nice but it was too early to jump in. Before long, a group of twenty somethings started coming over with their barbecue bag, exploring the barbecue area. One of them brought a small dog. Before long, it started sniffing around Idlan and he was not happy. The bucks stopped when it started to give chase when Idlan ran.

He ran into the building but the dog still chased him, before finally he entered a door and I arrived. The owner was just walking towards the incident. I swore I would have killed the dog if not for him.

Time to lie back in the afternoon sunThe pool is actually bigger than I thoughtAt least I got my priorities right ....The guy took his dog, apologised while Idlan was screaming. He rejoined his group, but the dog was still loose. I got the security in as as far as I was concerned, dogs, leashed or otherwise were off limits at the pool area. The group left shortly after.

My worry was Idlan would be traumatised by the whole affair. He was still sobbing when we got to the apartment. I would definitely be writing in for explanation from the management after this. It should not happen again. Poor Idlan.

Viva Home Center

It had been a long day, sorting put the flat. I spent the afternoon after work doing measurements of the hall and rooms.

Anita then asked me to take her to Viva Home Center at Loke Yew. The place was certainly much bigger than I thought. A new place, opened right next to a main artery from the center of town to Cheras. Even on a Saturday, the road was full. Luckily, the mall itself was rather quite.

We had the chance to look at some of the furniture shops and some of the outlets were surprisingly affordable. We were still browsing and decided against making any purchase, but at least we had a good idea in terms of budgeting and the design which we wanted.

Parking at the place was ample, and I didn't have to pay any parking fee. I was not sure either because it was free, or free in the first couple of hours.

The Viva Home Center was not all furniture though. Thy have a supermarket, chemist, video shops as well as a decent selection of eatery. The place was too big for us to enter all the shops in under a couple of hours. So, we may have to return next time. It seemed that Saturday evening was not a bad time to come at all.

The Search is On

It certainly was a gorgeous day. A day I spent with Puan Anita mostly looking at apartments. Travelling especially when I was on call can be a problem, so we decided to search for a place around Bangsar. A sort of apartment for the weekend. With a pool of course.

We had a few units in mind and had engaged a property agency to search for a good one. Looking for property can be tiring and time-consuming as well as frustrating if you fail to land on a place of your dreams.

Hopefully our search won't take too long as currently the property market as far as letting is concerned is pretty slow going. We shall watch this space .....
