Sorry, some of the foumers feedback to me that the contractor that I intro them got really busy and didn't respond. I can provide you the contact but I hope that u won't end up in frustration.

Haven't been updating for a bit.
Here's once of the last bit of my house, which is the wardrobe.

I've again engaged Homemark as their customer service to me is really one of the best and based on a very reasonable pricing as well.

I only have a very small space hence that's what I could make do with.
Here's the design


Fully frosted glass divided into 3 piece and the compartments.

Cost RM 2,800 with anti roaches board

Finished product shall come in 3 weeks time

Quick question, you didn't state explicitly but I assume the Quartz top is purchased from Homemark and installed by them as well? And the price of RM180/psf is including installation?

Yes but that's promotion price back then..

Hi princessgalaria, please pm me ur contractor contact. Thx in advance😀

hello princess,

mind sharing me you contractor?

wah princess, looks like you have quite the following here ya

Great idea on the sofa set, was initially thinking of replacing my current sofa into a semi-japanese styled platform. Am most likely gonna infuse your idea into it.

Have you considered maybe adding in drawers underneath the space?

So sad that I cant see half of your photos but pretty sick DIY projects. :/ Im also at a tight budget. Budget of 50k now already over 70k and still have not but get carpenter. Nice work. Keep it up.

Oh, didn't consider drawers yet bcos the space is just nice for me to slot the vacuum cleaner below

Eh? Are my links broken dy? I haven't been updating for a while since I'm done with the renovation and all.
With GST coming in everything is so expensive.

wah carpenter portion also gonna cost thousands..

tell me about it

we thinking going to cost about 15k :/

2 wardroom and 1 shoe cabinet Maybe adding island top as well. Oh well cant do much. Since I buy lelong house. Save from there already haha

Oh, how did the lelong house's condition turned out to be? Many of them are due to the owners can't afford to pay the loan to the bank any longer. How did you verify and check?

Haha I am a stalker. I thick face go ask around about the owner and see what the damage. Yes he cant afford to pay his loan and also the family have been broken up. 1 father (staying where i bought) 1 mother(no idea stay where) 1 son(stay with girlfriend) 1 daughter(staying with grandma mother side) all not staying together.

I really did a detail checking with bank, management and DBKL to see if is worth buying. Even after everything, adding up it is still 50% below market value that is why i decided to go for it.

I also did check how the owner is like.For example if i buy that property will he come back and make life miserable for me. He is the most hated person of the apartment . Was actually a deal breaker for me but I got "assurance" from lawyer and management that he wont be able to come back.

But end of the day he just uproot and left with all his belongings(computer,handphone ,dirty underwear ,etc ) in the house after a long court battle(with him not showing up but still staying there). Dont mention the field day of cleaning the house. I make contact with the wife and wife mother. I sent some important things(birth cert/divorce cert/etc) and requested item back to them with my own expenses and I also invited the son to come to take a look at the item that he wants back. The rest of the stuff either sold off or thrown/donate(using alam sekitar people and Apartment maid) did i mention the police that help me to break in the house took some stuff back without telling me The police took the computer,psp,tv(the crt kind) and some other small nig nags .

anyway it took 4 long painful years from buying to renovation but now that is 99% finish renovation and only carpentry work is left Im so happy.

I might consider opening a thread here

Woah... that's a whole long process. So glad that eveything is fine now.
That's the only thing with lelong house is that, the owner doesn't want to vacate the premise etc.

long time no chat with u adi..

Yes, please open you own thread...
I definitely going to follow

Haha, that's bcos I have nothing to update here anymore since I'm done with my house
Writing another post elsewhere, but kinda busy too ..


Me too, please do please do...

please do! would love to get a lelong house too

There is other things when I did my research that you need to look in to. Neighborhood crime rate/why they uproot/They owing gangster money? stuff like that but overall most of the time is cant repay loan.

My lawyer was not experience that is why it took so long. If you get a experience lawyer actually you can finish the process in half a year.

Wow look like before i even open a thread I already got followers Haha Will open one when I free enough. Work been crazy.

Yes! would definitely be interested particularly the process involved.

4 friggin years, the length you go to secure a property in this country. 50% below market value is definitely worth the wait I hope? Where is the area/location?
