A New Start in 2011 by aunty loh

It was such a looooong time we didn’t visit to this blog site and to do some update.

Looking back to the last post we updated, it was already a year before i.e. in Aug,2009

Most probably this blog has been forgotten by everyone..

Today, i would like to make this blog ALIVE!

Lately, we are actually busy in doing some research on the housing properties in our state.

In fact, the Malaysia house price has increased drastically in a year time, it is about 20% from year 2010 to 2011, of which mainly is due to the rise in raw materials price. We anticipate the house price will continue to increasing in the next following years as the housing market demand right now is still showing an upward trend.

If not to buy now, who know a year later there will be another 20% increase in the house price again? And this would definitely burden and not affordable for us to own our first house.

Therefore, the decision to buy a new house has come across to our mind.

We have visited quite a lot of new launched housing projects in Ipoh (as below) and we had finally chosen one of them for our First Dream House!

Can u guess which of it we have finally decided to buy ?

1, Seri Botani, 20×70, RM233,800

2, Bercham Nova, 22×70, RM288,000

3. BBT2, Taman Canning Ipoh, 20×65, RM238,800

4. Hartamas Avenue, 22×70, RM238,800

5. Taman Bercham Idaman, 22×75, RM218,800

6. Montblue Residence, 24×75, RM437,800+

7. The Haven, 800+ SqFt, RM398,000+

Europe Trip – Brussels, Belgium by uncle chan

Hi, long time didn’t update here since I come back from UK. This Europe trip is few month pass, but now i only update haha. Ok, lets start brief with Belgium, this is first destination although we reach France at first. France will be count as last destination .

Port Dover, this is the place that we take ferry from UK to France. This is a damn big ship that can carry many buses and cars.

We are inside the ferry. A small cafe that let passenger sit down and have a cup of coffee. Also inside have tax free shop and restaurant.

On the roof top. I think this the highest floor, deck 9. I really enjoy warm sunshine and cool wind here.

Yeahz, I reached Belgium finally.

St. Michael , Belgium.

One of the famous place in Belgium, Royal Galleries of Saint-Hubert.

Many restaurant here !

Seafood. Wah, look like delicious …

Manneken Pis sister ?? Ohhh … this is how girl piss, now I only know…

Most famous place, Grand Place.

It is a beer festival, everyone in Europe is heavy beer drinker.

I forgot what name is this. You need to touch his body part like head, hand, and other to get different luck.

Manneken Pis. A story behind on this, roughly like this little boy save the town or street by piss on the fire.

Beware he piss on your head … haha. By the way, you can’t get closer on it because it’s fenced.

London by uncle chan

Everybody should be know London, it is capital of England and United Kingdom. London is a nice place that you must visit when you travel to United Kingdom. I went to London for 3 days 2 nights, here are the photos of London.

Me and my friends go to London by National Rail from Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston Station. It take around 2 hours to reach London. You can online inside the train and there have table with electric socket so that you don’t have to worry on laptop out of battery.

Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. It open to the public on summer July till September. The entry fee is 16.50 pound per adult and 15 pound for student. I paid and go in have a visit, decoration inside very luxury and beautiful. Sorry no picture of inside palace because photography and video recording are not allow.

Buckingham Palace other side view from Buckingham Palace Garden. Buckingham Palace Garden is the largest private garden in London.

11.30am is the time of changing guard. This is one of the tourist attraction at Buckingham Palace. Look at the pictures, full of people.

Guards behind the gate. Do you remember Mr. Bean tease on the guard in one of his TV show ?

Changing guard.

London Underground also know as tube is the main transport in London. It can travel to every tourist attraction location and very convenient. Buy the Oyster card is best way when visit in London. The Oyster card is 3 pound deposit and refundable. Top-up the Oyster card and it charge with credit when you travel by London Underground. Every zone have different maximum charge, let say zone 1 maximum charge is 5.30pound, you can travel as much as you like till your Oyster card deduct 5.30pound and it’s no more charge after that.

London really worth to visit. We are satisfy on this trip although just 3days time.  We take National Rail again go back to Liverpool Lime Street.

Actually there are still a lot of tourist attraction in London such as Tower of London, Madame Tussauds and more but I can’t afford those entry fee. I need save for next trip especially for 2 week Euro trip later.
