The "real" estate exercise

Neither Irshad Manji nor Mario Balotelli, they are none of my business. These two issues are just peanut compare to what a heavy load on my head now. Verifying the uncertainty and confirming a fix price without checking is the mortal sin and it's like committing suicide. Doing something at lost is a forbidden paradigm. Though capitalist  leads to the world's rotten, the beauty thing inside it is, it always teach us to gain the maximum profit margin. But this time , I fall into the pool of capitalism darkness and demonize by decent people. Something that it shouldn't be, and now it happens.   

The best experience is the worst experience. Taking real estate for my postgraduate studies doesn’t guarantee an enough bowl of rice  in property investment. Recently, I may lose my deposit if withdraw the sales and purchase agreement. My last two houses purchases were never being like this. I was never being manipulated by the price either house owner or agents. I always negotiate at a good price  though I am not as good as Donald Trump, a real estate billionaire.  Lesson no. 1 is ,before purchase any house or sign any s&p, check the property’s value with the valuer. Neither the owners’s price nor agent’s price, both are always jack the price up to the sky.Both are always at superstitious and they imagine to be rich at fast track.   I signed for something that the price is about the four years in the future now I am facing the music for paying high installment. I wish that a miracle comes on and the purchasing can be proceeded or else, I will lose some thousands. ** feel like  a sore loser now**

View from LRT: a view from it's passenger

Taking LRT is everyday’s norm to me. In spite is that the greenest way to move from my house to the office, I myself feel that by taking LRT is as cool as taking tube in London. My rapid pass is as good as an oyster card. But the only think differ to UK is that the crowd inside the train. From King Cross to Paddington  for example, we can see those stylish people with jacket , branded outfits, necklace and off course their Caucasian looked yet here we still can enjoy the" bangla looks", makcik – makcik  with tudung  and pakcik –pakcik without perfume. So that you can imagine how the smell inside the LRT if it's full especially Bangla's underarm.

From Bukit Jalil to Titiwangsa there are several spots that may attract your view if you’re the first timer taking the train. The luxury of National Sport’s complex with the heavy duty tensile structure, the new TBS station condition as good as Amsterdam Central, the new Kenanga Mall which looked much better than Mangga Dua , PWTC and off course you can view the beauty of Sultan Abdul Samad  facade,which situated right in front of Dataran Merdeka or the called it “ a new Bersih demo hotspot”. By looking those monuments, I said myself this is the country we beloved and we belongs to. How proud I am being a  Malaysian.

Unfortunately, off all the good views, there is one spot that make my eye so painful which is Pudu jail  (while I am inside the train). Pudu Jail supposed to be developed as they said "one of the hottest places in town as good as Pavilion"  if I am not mistaken and UDA is the agency who leads the development. What happen now is the project is still not erectable, unstated and still in silent. The Star has reported that there are some dilemmas form the developer to develop that piece of part of golden triangle land. According to The Star , UDA Holdings Bhd is still evaluating proposals of all parties for the redevelopment of its Pudu Jail land and wants the preferred bid to be the one that is in its best commercial interest.

Again they still evaluating it.

Then, the chairman said “On a commercial basis, Everbright's proposal is the best because it will develop the land as one piece. If the land is cut into three parcels, you know you will lose the value of the land,”

Still what they think to cut the land, parcel it and then sell it out.

Here is my point view.
Can’t UDA be like YTL or even Berjaya who successfully developed the neighboring piece of land? YTL and Berjaya never get any injections from the sky, what they just the opportunity from the government, they grabbed it, erect the building, branding the building, and market it out. Why we are always championing the land and properties thing and then on loss profit or the project becomes the white elephant. The person who talk about the idea to ask a company from China to develop or cut the land to three is the person who always claim he is liberal kind of thing and so call new Malay . if that the case what is different between new Malay and old Malay, liberal and conservative? Don’t you think that the idea is always similar? Sell the land and get the money, that’s it.

Why can’t we ( refer to our race ), get the money, develop the land, erect the building, brand it and market it out  and get the long term good tenants? It always being differences between, YTL and UDA, SP Setia and SPNB. Yes we have some good apples like Petronas, Felda and Bank Rakyat but those are GLC’s.  What about the rest? We get the same opportunities  but why are we still left behind?
It's attitude.

Too heavy my post this time as heavy as a full loaded locomotive. Never mind, next I loose it out. I had to top up my rapid pass. By taking LRT I can save RM 200 per month. 

peace of mind

Tonight is very quiet and calm and do some writing is just at the correct time. Everyone else was asleep. Yasmin was the earliest, followed by his mother and most recently Shahnaz. I'm still not sleeping. Maybe because it's a bit hot tonight. The global warming impact recently may lead to a lot of compounding process stopped .No matter how the night was calm and I did not rumple my head.

 After facing the boss at the lunch time today I've been feeling very relieved because I confess everything I can see tears and motherly on her side. Even though I'm also worried about Zareene’s housing loan I still have not approved, but the peace of mind after facing the reality is quite frankly fun. Maybe I should do that along time ago for this or maybe this day was destined I dare to face. Is not before this I was a dare? Exposure in an open and confession with reality as it is advised by an old man at the office for me to make of it used to be. It’s better late than never and born as emotionally, I always pretend my ego which is wrong. I should change my attitude. I am positive charged now

My friend of misery

Disturbia was awesome. While waiting for the news headlines, I flipped my messages  and see a complaint about his brother from my close friend. His brother who are also friend of mine do weird he said.  It’s very hard to have a friend who born stubborn. It was so weird when he attended a wedding is uninvited. Does it sounds fool? .I never have had any grudge on him even he didn’t attend my wedding last time  but being an antisocial person you shouldn’t attend uninvited wedding ceremony. It sound silly when you attend a wedding ceremony where you not being invited no matter how closes the couples to you. 

A friend whom I have known for almost 20 years may have internal problem. I knew him as a clever boy. Obtain an aggregate 8 in SRP during my time considered excellent students. Unfortunately, this friend of mine does not know how to plan his life.

Starting with a family crisis in which he chose to make enemies of his parents and since then I saw him become uncertain. The situation became worse after he lost in love with his girlfriend. After he finished his first degree, he is working with something he supposed to deserve more. I also found out that he can’t leave the country and go anywhere, even as he has been blacklisted as a result of not paying back PTPTN loans. .  What is a life means if you have volatile relationship with parents, unmarried, no properties and the only thing you have is just a bike. I couldn’t imagine myself in his shoe if being ignored by the family, no properties, no traveling and unmarried. At least, in their mid 30s having a girlfriend put colors in your life

The windfall

Yesterday was a tiring day. Begin the day driving to IJN for Shahnaz’s routine checkup then having lunch at MZ, one of the most favorite Kelantan cuisine spots in town. I drove to Affine Bank to check whether the money of Felda’s windfall is in the account and yet it’s not.

Felda’s windfall, according to what had been reported in all headlines, each of the family would be getting RM 15 000 including of family leader, the wife and the second generation. There are five members in my family so that each of us will be getting RM 1000 but that’s not my intention. What is one thousand in the year of 2012? My preference is if I being offered for the pink form then it would be better.

At last Felda will be listed to the main board without KPF. As many settlers concern that KPF is the main funder for the Felda’s business all this while but it being dropped after the five injunctions made by settlers in Pahang. The convention organized by ANAK (aka Felda Pas members) seems some facts, rhetoric and fact’s doctored. Few inputs are acceptable but more than that just to get the political mileage.

After the windfall news being announced by the PM, I saw Mazlan Alliman made another petition to topple the idea of the board listing but everyone knew it just too late. It is happened and seems like most of settlers are happy with idea.

As one of the beneficiaries of the windfall I intent that half of my share should be donated to my sister, who is divorcee, well anyway she is suffering from divorce

Solidariti Anak Muda di Jalanraya

They wish to topple the government of the day through rallying street. Those photos on the net proved an untrue peaceful demo. It a footstep to bastardized the power as same as Arab Spring and they claim it a rock n roll party street for a free poll.  How do we stop the adrenaline of young men when they assemble in groups and start provocation here and there? Sit and disagree? Definitely they shout it out loud and kick here and there and that’s the youth spirit. When cops hit them, off course the fight begins. What are they fighting for ? A free poll or crowning new government via anarchy? Then who to be blamed the cops, the rally peoples or the organizer? I say the fire starter. Luckily I was in Penang with my parents

Yellow is the new black.
