For God, For the Mother Land

It was just this morning, at 7 am Malaysian army, with the muscle of 7 battalions proceed their attack on Sulu people how came on shore to claim their Sabah land. It has been almost three weeks since they've landed, but it is now the time for the troopers to start the "war".

We usually read history of our old Askar Rejimen battled our way for the King to claimed right for lands. Since independence, Malaysian army mostly only used for protocols, or to make sure formal and officials occasions by the King is properly executed or the occasional misi keamanan.

But now, it is the true war that they've waited so long, to protect our land, from the people who claimed the land to be theirs.

Let's pray for our brothers and sisters who are fighting in Lahad Datu.

New House - Part 1

Faidrol has been eyeing that one particular house just less than 500 metres from his mom's. As they said we need to buy a house which is farther than our in laws or our own parents, but this I myself could not resist.

The house is not as initially planned nor it is our dream house; an intermediate, no ground at the back of the house and very little beside the car porch, opening is only 20 feet and the list goes on.

But it is the house that no one can resist, as I said before. Even there were so many people set eyes on this property, prompting us to speed up our loan application.

Loan was not easy; first we got rejected because there was only one name submitted and the loan cannot be bear by only one person. Hence I stepped in to become "nama bersama" for the house; and after about 2 weeks, the loan is approved.

It was a long weekend; a CNY holiday , that we asked for the owner's permission to paint the house interior. He agreed to let us in, despite SnP had not been signed yet.

And here it is, our first project to the house; almost all parts of renovation are DIY as we cannot afford to have a contractor or interior designer to do it for us. Only 3 pictures looked good for the blog though, and here they are:
