53. our 1st Fern
7:20 PMbought this at Pagoh nursery rm$38 for our garden
found another nursery at the outskirt of Johor town after kulai the old trunk road towards Pontian. If following this road after UTM new towns are sprounting like mushrooms like Sri Pulai 1 & 2 passing thru all these townships the nurseries lined up by the roadsides offer cheaper landscaping plants if compared to those found in JB town or Nusa Bestari. Thus we don't have to travel all the way to Pagoh-Muar to buy for our gardens only thing is still can't find eucalyptus tree yet anybody knows where i can buy one.
52. our rear neighbours
1:19 AMthe development rite behind our backyard. the construction of rows of houses are fast being build. Eventhough many houses are lined up behind it was a pleasant surprise to see that directly opposite our house backyard is an unobstructive view no house is being erected there guessing its the garden land area of the 2 corner units facing each other. Sigh of relieve at the sight that behold.

44. the keys 12.12.09
6:46 AMkeys in hand - amt paid Rm$2995.60
for Quit Rent + others + discounted interest of rm$1500*
We're sure that we were not the only 2 owners that were affected and yes we felt that the developer did injustice to us and took advantage of our situation in getting the money from us thru no default from us. As a developer they have the obligation and responsibility to access this at their discretion rather than take the easy way and unjustly imposed the amount on us. Definitely not a good move as this will effect their image and marred their reputation as we the house owners will definitely be more cautious in referring other potential house buyers.
enuf said on this matter 2 advises though:
*do maintain all your documentations in order pertaining to the purchases all letters from developer, bank & lawyers should be properly filed for reference.
*be very patient and learn to adjust to the ways and culture of working environment here. they will push you from one department to another and when they promise they will call back dont hope for it cause they never do.
so far we've no complaints on the marketing division superb service delivered by Irene from the sales personnels but the administration /finance department should review their service charter.
just my 2cents worth of tots.
