A hectic house-hunting day

Today my sister Christine and I went house-hunting. It was generally a fun day, with more idea inputs than our usual weekend arguments :-)

The houses in Puchong were nice, but a bit too pricey. I fancy the 2-storey corner link house in Bandar Puteri, it oversees half of the whole Klang Valley. The master bedroom on the 2nd floor was a bit too big for anyone in my family. Or for both of my parents. They’re really just easy-going, down-to-earth Kampung folks who can go by with anything we hand to them.

Christine likes the 2-storey link house in Bukit Puchong. It has a supposedly ‘safer’ design—the kitchen on the front near the entrance—which enables anyone within the kitchen section, including yours truly as the chef-of-the-hour, to clearly keep an eye on the ‘frontyard activity’ of any suspicious people. On another thought, maybe we could keep a Rottweiler instead…

Puchong is an enormous urban township with green meadow and forest reserves almost everywhere we turn. It was a mining town back in the British colonial times, where the tin eventually went ‘back’ to the British. Funny how we see things sometimes…
