Hello guys, after working for a few years, finally have enough money for a house. Just signed the contract! Absolutely delighted! Even though it's an old house. Here are some pictures of it. Intend to do some renovation. Will keep this thread updated. I have all the time in the world so i'll probably be doing quite a bit of DIY.


The house (Parents and grandma in picture)


The front yard


The backyard (removed 3 rambutan trees with a parang last week. Arms flailing at my sides now)


Bedrooms for future kids. Enough for four.


The headache room. The floor's all coming up because of the roof leak.

wow.. nice.. congratz..

Omai so big! You better have some money left to fix the house and make it pretty. Congratz!

is it a 1.5 house? sure looks like usj3 house..haha

location bro? KL area?

it looks like a bungalow ..lol

Have fun with your new "toy"

nice. how much for this?

I think u need at least 200k for basic reno.

damn nice house. would love to have this house!!!!!!

spacious .easier for guests to park their cars during ur festival.

brather..usj 3 also dont have this big lar...

btw nice house with big land...suitable for long term staying...where is located?

very spacious!
and by kids you mean your pet? ><
Is a waste you chop down all rambutan trees.
At least keep one for shade and fruits

hard to find so big land's house nowadays.. congratulations..

It'll be great! Major reno required - basically, everything has to be gutted except the walls and redone. Roof tiles, electrical wiring, plumbing, flooring, bathrooms....... which is what I'm doing to my house. Almost coming to the end, and wayyyy over my initial budget.

Should be good fun taking slow steps making over the place.

I believe you even can build small house at the backyard

Guess not around Klang valley and is bungalow...

wow nicee..

so LONG LONGGGG the land...

can tanam jagung

a very very very beautiful house but i dun thnk it's around pj o kl. it has got to be far from city.

congrat and may u have a wonderful life chapter there.

The house is a bit old and dua design.

But I like the land. This is not in the city I guess.

what are the plans? for the house & what is the budget?

Wah, bro, you got see ghost in there?

If rm250k, demolish the whole house and built a 1st storey banglo on that big land.

Demolish and rebuild new...the house look old and serious damaged..it looks like village landed properties...
build 3 floor, greatgrand children also enough...

just curious how big is the plot of land ?

With such a big land, do you really need 3 floor house?

The land for swimming pool:)..for some koi fish ponds, putting grass, car park...

The outdoor space would make a splendid looking garden

I dun think he want big garden, extra house, pond or swimming pool on this huge land. I guess he will build one helicopter pad.

Damn huge man ... this puts my place's 90' length to shame ... about 45 x 160?

Grats! The front drive way looks like more than 40 feet already

crazyly big even kajang dun have such area will be futher from rawang as well i think... got to need extra loads of cash for reno ~ but then again it makes ppl envy with the kind of land ~ congrats TS

wah.. your house, i like
But i felt unsafe of the backyard, easily to climb in.

can build badminton court

This kind of house can be seen easily in the outskirt of Kuching.

Even landed houses in Kuching are normally bigger than klang valley one.

My childhood house in the downtown Kuching is even bigger than TS house, the land size is about 1/3 of acre.

ts pls build go cart lane..surrounding the house..yahooo!!!

Confirm above 1 million no doubt.

wow, big land. would be interested to see how it turns out in the end

so when start reno ? where floor plans ? share share share

So sorry for the lack of updates guys. Hit a slight snag with the name transfer because i bought the house with my girlfriend and she is currently in Australia so we had to send the contract over to her and back TWICE and she had to fly all the way from Melbourne to Canberra to High Commission to get it signed but it should be sorted within a couple of weeks.

Just to answer some of your questions first!! This is not in KL! lol this is actually in Johor Bahru. About 10-12 minutes away from the Malaysian Customs and downtown so it is in quite a good location! It is in a guarded and somewhat gated area and i bought it from a Singaporean owner not at an auction. And no, haven't seen any ghosts yet, lol. It's a semi-detach not a bungalow. Reason for the condition of the house is because the owner decided to move back to Singapore to retire and left the house there for a year, unoccupied.

About the dimensions of the lot, it is around 45' x 185' = 8325 Square Feet. About the price, i will let you guys know when everything's sorted in a couple of weeks!

About the renovation plans, actually nothing much at the moment because i will be renting it out for as i am still working in Australia. But i will definitely give it a good makeover when i return in the future! So here are some slight updates.


The roof was leaking badly so i removed the flooring (with nice owner's permission of course) in the Master bedroom as there were mosquitoes breeding all over the floor.


Sprayed pesticide to kill the random grass. Dirty house huh? lol previous owner didn't take care of it but then again, i bought it for the value of the land, not the house.

Thanks for all the congratulations!
