Now that it's cleared...

Finally, after two years of waiting patiently(with a little bit of frustrations here and there) my contractor Mr. Liew from EVEREASE enterprise give me a call just after we came back from our Umrah. He was a bit off-beat, cos he has been trying to reach me, but I was nowhere to be found. Hahaha, not our fault, I've been trying to call him, but he never answer. I wonder why? A little bit of disappointed there. Anyway, the reason he called was, he asked us to choose that for "Mengunjam". Mengunjam was my husband's family tradition; the first pillar(chosed by my brother in-law) of any house must be blessed with do'a from all members of the family. Apparently, I just found out, in their traditions, a pregnant lady won't be allowed to do this rituals, there considered it as 'tabboo'.

Picture  taken the very next morning, my husband and I decided to take an emergency leave for that very day.

Teratak Merah Delima


Hi, in this blog, I want to write on the steps and the procedure taken in building our house "Teratak Merah Delima(TMD)". By the way, I name our house cos I love delima(Ruby Stone) and Merah(Red Colour) and hence the name of the house. When I told my husband about it, he also finds it cute. The idea of building this house came way back when we were just newly wed. Little that I knew, we only started building it in 2010. I remembered because my brother was getting married, so there was I while busy preparing my brother's marriage, also busy meeting the banker and the lawyer, but that was 2 years ago. These year, we finally see TMD in the making. I'll try to jot down as much as I can about TMD.



The land where we are going to build TMD, was half hill. So, this picture was taken when the bulldozer has done cuttin ghalf the hill. That was my husband standing in the middle.

Again, my darling dearest from another angle.


This picture is when there have done clearing the hills
