House hunting

I am not sure what should be the title of this entry.House hunting or rezeki?Hehe anyways, whatever the title is I am just thankful with what I have and had.

Sesungguhnya rezeki itu dtg dari Allah swt.

Just a question, Do you believe in Doa?
Do you really have faith in Allah swt or your god(if you’re not a muslim?)
I believe in Allah S.w.t and I really believe whatever happened, happens for a reason. Be it good or vice versa.

I believe when you really have faith and pray hard, you will get what you want. I really believe in that. As you know, Allah swt maha mendengar, lagi maha pengampun, lagi maha pemurah dan mengasihani.
I know as a person we are vulnerable to everything. Of course physically, emotionally and spiritually. But we can get the strength from Allah swt if you really have faith in Him.

Sometimes we may blame Him if He did not grant our wish without realizing that there must be a valid reason why He did not give it to us. We usually ask for more without ever think of giving more.Yes we are just ordinary human being who has loads of WANTs.

Rezeki can comes in many ways.When someone belanja makan, then it’s your rezeki.When you get discounts on your purchases, then it’s you rezeki. When you found 50 cents on the street, then it’s your rezeki.Sometimes people don’t think that this tiny weeny things are also called rezeki. They thought by having big paycheck, or getting a million bucks is truly rezeki. They just don’t realize that sometimes, when you get a seat in a train pack of people is also a rezeki.

As for me and Aspa, we have our rezeki.We are blessed with 2 happy and healthy girls though our salary is not as big as others. We are blessed though we do not have our own house, but we do not have to spend on rent as we stay with my grandma. Though we badly want to study abroad and did not get the chance, but we are blessed with free trips when we were younger and able to “jejak kaki” to some of the amazing places in the world. We are blessed with family who really understand us and always there to support in anyway they can.

Sometimes people are blessed with good money but they do not have children.Sometimes they think that God is punishing them, but truly they are blessed with something else.Perhaps you can still enjoy your life just the two of you and build more wealth while you do not have any commitment for the children.You can go for trips and enjoy yourself while you still can without having kiddos freaking you out every minute of the day!

Actually in this entry I just want to point out the power of Doa. We have been house hunting for quite sometime. With our budget, my preference of house is simple. But at least this criteria must be met.

1. house facing east(or at least NOT facing west sbb nanti panas sbb matahari ptg masuk hence increase the electric utilization)
2. if possible a house with extra land so that my children can play outside the house and not confined in the house.
3. depan rumah no other house.Meaning menghadap jln besar ke padang ke so that when people come to my house, there will be sufficient place to park their cars.
4. hoping to have good neighbours.That’s the most important thing actually.To have neighbours that you can seek help when the hard times come.
5. low density and quiet environment.
6. Prefer to leave in Malay neighbourhood such as Bangi.
7. near to all facilities such as hospital, financial institute, shops and such.
8. not built on tanah tambak such as lombong or sungai.

Well that’s more or less our preference of home and everyday we are praying for that.

To make it a story, last week there’s multiple options came. To be exact there’s 3 choices but we rejected all of them due to valid reason.

All are new development or currently being developed. 1 in bangi and 2 in Kajang. The trick for the new development, if the units are all sold, you can always call back the developer and ask whether there’s anyone whose’s loan has been rejected. I got the houses I mentioned above using that way. All the units are sold but I put my name under waiting list(though some of the developer said there’s no waiting list haha).So alhamdullilah I got 1 unit for each of the development. All of sudden byk pule yg dtg dari tade ape2…hehe.Siap kena sembahyang istikarah!

Tapi at the end we had to reject all 3 though I am still putting hope for the one in Bangi at Sungai Ramal Dalam.The reason we did not take this house is due to that the development progress is now only 10% and the developer is not widely recognized and kami takut project terbengkalai!

But the house we got for this specific development was the best. All met our criteria except for the neighbours though all are malays but we still do not know perangai sebenar mereka hehe.

Tgk la kalau ada rezeki, insyallah kalau da 50% siap, I will call again the developer and ask whether there’s still available unit.But usually if the development progress has gone up to 50-60% they will mark up at least 10% of the pre released price.

Biasa la everything has it’s pro and cons. You can’t get everything!

Like I said before, insyallah kalau ada rezeki, insyallah dpt la rumah utk kami membesarkan anak2 kami :D
