Our first Dream Home, wow!! I never really thought i could really afford one at such a young age, being barely in the workforce for 2 years now. Then again, nothing is impossible. Its only a matter of brain versus brawn.

We bought our first dream home on Weds the 11th of October 2006 to be exact, we paid our earnest deposit for our Dream Home measuring 33″*91″ on this date. Our Dream Home, a semi-D, has a built up area of 23″ by 50″ and comes with 4 bedrooms, 2 halls, 3 bathrooms, and a wet and a dry kitchen. Hmmm kinda big for a young couple like us but hey, i’ll love the extra space.

Price Tag?? Hmmm…. slightly above RM300k after a small discount from the developer. This is the third housing project from the developer.

The developer being a local, has developed two other projects, one being a housing estate consisiting only of bungalow lots. I guess this is not what you would call a solid track record. So lets hope everything works out to be fine.

Oh yah, this housing project is a based on a gated community concept. The entrance in and out of the housing estate will be watched by security guards. Now thats what i call security

Oh yah…. here’s how the house looks like…. the show house of course

 Let me know what you think

Oh great! Our personal blog is finally up! After many hours of trudging through the technicalities, the mystery is finally solved!

Putting the exhilaration aside, we would like to welcome you to our website, our personal blog, which will document the whole journey of buying our first home in Malaysia.

We want something to record down our whole experience, the things we learn along the way; be it the pitfalls, the benefits and even the emotional rollercoaster we had during the ride of buying our first home in Malaysia.

We want to share all these, with people out there who are like us, who are going through the same stage in life, facing the same process and we felt, we could learn a lot from each other.

Not forgetting too, those who have taken the ride, who care enough to share their experience too, for the benefit of everyone.

As for those who are not there yet, but thinking of buying their first home in Malaysia in the future, we hope, this blog will be their one-stop portal for everything they need to know, should know and must know about buying their first home in Malaysia.

Borrowing a quote:

Smart people learn from other’s mistakes;

Ordinary people learn from their own mistakes; and

Fools learn from nobody’s mistakes.

Sit back, relax, have a cup of coffee and have the ride of your life!
