in fact regardless the characters in this movie, i'm thinking of giving it a watch when it's formally on screen

there's another alternative : buy sub-sale house

still got de .. if u search ..
example like in WM, Tmn melati, gombak areas still lots of sub-sale below rm 200K
although might be slight small but still enough to cater for a small family

how much average the price of apartments in kepong areas now ?

btw, if u strive to have ur own home, u'll have the determination to save hard for ur goal de

that's true
but depends on ur own priority in life

depends on individual family needs lo
in WM for example, a lot and a lot of malay/ chinese family with average 4 to 6 or even more family members stay there and still stay comfortably


btw i also notice that nowdays in some western countried like US, UK, France etc, a lot ppl of mid-income level in city area tend to pick apartment units roughly 500 to 1000 sqft; and in places where every inch of the land is golden, they have no choice but to but units with even smaller like about 200 to 300 sqft also got.
However they're have been learning to creative in the interior design and home parts that create the cozy or nice "home" feel for their small house.


so it seems like big house, big bungalow in big land is Malaysian-style .. haha !



Actually there's an alternative... buy flat units then save money do a better reno and the finished look and feel are just about the same like those so-called "new" condo or apartments. Then add in ur own personal home deco ideas and u get ur own dream home.

don't underestimate urself .. there'll be a day when u're stable enough in financial then get a house on ur own .. but u need some long-term planning.

@farscope
i see ur points.

with the general property outlook these days, if u wan to get a house with all the aspects balance and in the affordable range within ur existing ability is a bit hard and that's fact. But u still can keep on looking, asking around, asking ppl who are experienced in property lines and financial lines and able to help u in getting house with ur preferred requirement, i say u will be able to find it.

u have to have this firm intention and keep searching while u develop in ur career, and every effort u spend on the searching process will bring u closer to ur goal.

10 years ago i thought i must have my own staying place but in those years my payroll only manage to sustain me the monthly minimal expenses; but i tried to save here an there whenever possible. So at that time i have only that dream which was far to reach at that time. So wat to do ? i didn't know how i survive those years actually .. or maybe in those years i was too focus on working or something.
i have poor ppl network but i keep searching. And god bless after 10 years of struggling i finally made it, and all the unbearable times in past are worth it.

Thus, i believe u have better reach of different levels of the ppl u know around, and those ppl could be the additional force that would help u, in addition to ur own effort and determination.

yeah .. exactly.

but, try not to be too negative on this part .. as property price go up and down along the years; there would some times the price would surge down and u could seize the chance when it's so.

so may be wat u can do is to keep up with the on going property market news

Sometimes u just have to be patience and wait for the right timing ....

Be a bit more optimistic and get help from those experts.

If u keep thinking that "it's very hard to secure a house", then eventually the end result might be higher chance to turn out as what u had been thinking.
If u keep thinking that "never mind despite the current tough trends, it's still possible to work it out and i will reach it", the very high chance that u'll make it. Then a long the way u make practical efforts, step by step, to make it.

Do not underestimate ur own thought. It's a lot much powerful than we can imagine.

That's the "Challange", not a "Difficulty", if u see it in a positive light.

ahaha .. me not super optimistic either .. but juz try the best to think positive .. because when each individual think and act positive, it will contribute to the collective groups of ppl which in turn the bigger groups which in turn the whole world.

that's the truth.
