My humble abode

I have been meaning to put up these pictures ever since I moved down to KL 2 months ago. Somehow, I got caught up,  first with unpacking my 2 cars worth of stuff *gasp* and later many other random things and events. Anyway, I’m just going to show you some pictures of my new home! *excited* To make things clear, I did not buy this apartment, it is merely rented for a year. :)

What I love about this apartment is that it’s a standalone building with only one block! Unlike most of many other apartments that you can find these days, there are many blocks and many stories, such that it gives you a congested feeling. This apartment, however, only has one block with a mere 16 storeys. So, the density is definitely on the low side.

Walkway to the pool

Besides, there is plenty of parking area in front of the apartment, so one does not have to worry about having no place to park the car. Let me show you the pretty pool just behind the apartment! It is surrounded by plenty of coconut trees to keep the temperature down and to provide shade from the sun.

Mini coconut trees

The pool is not big but the good part is that it is mostly unoccupied and clean. On weekday evenings, the pool is mostly used by 2 or 3 persons, sometimes none. But too bad I seldom swim now, because the chlorine is really cruel to my hair. :(

The shower area is so cute! This is where one would have a short shower before jumping into the pool.

Moving on, let me present to you my living room! The whole apartment is fully furnished, right up to air-conditioner and water heaters! Isn’t that great? The living room was decorated by the owner and I have no complaints about it, except that the weather is pretty hot in the afternoon. And I just love the floor! Most of the apartments these days use tiles, which tend to be sticky and oily after a few days of walking. This laminated floor does not have that problem at all.

The dining area is spacious and has a sliding door with a background to boot! The sliding door is killing 2 birds at the same time by providing a nice backdrop and shielding the smoke from the kitchen.

Last but not least, the apartment is equipped with a nice solid wood built-in kitchen cabinet with a kitchen top as well. I love kitchen cabinets! They make our life in the kitchen so much better and convenient.

Of course, the picture shown here was taken before I actually moved my stuffs in. You can imagine the kitchen top with more equipment now ranging from a toaster oven, kettle, rice cooker, slow cooker and water bottles. Yes, I do cook. :)

This 3-room apartment is more than what I would expect for the rental that I’m paying. I definitely see myself enjoying my stay here for the next one year. :)

    The pool is so under utilized, invite us over for a party with free food under the mini coconut trees. We can have coconut drink while enjoying the scenic landscaping, and take a dip in the pool to make sure these facilities are put to good use and to make your maintenance fee worthwhile… I scare no chlorine la. :)
