Can someone tell me how hard it is to find good tenants?
My neighbours moved away to their new house a couple of months ago and they rented out their house to this decent looking family who in turn rented some of the rooms out (without the knowledge of the landlord). We've seen a couple of different people walk in and out of their house. My former neighbours used to have beautiful looking plants and garden but I've not seen the new tenants put any effort in trimming the plants or taking care of them.
Their son had a friend who has absolutely no manners who parked his car right in front of my gate! We walked to every neighbour who threw a party that night to ask if it belonged to any of them. It was 1am. We waited, and honked for an hour before that friend of their son came out who was so rude.
Not long ago, their electricity bill got sent to our house accidentally with some warning letter informing that they'll cut the supply if they do not settle the bill. And right now, at 2.40am, some weird man is knocking frantically on their gate in the middle of the night to no answer. I totally have no idea what's going on in their house. Oh my gosh... I pity my former neighbours...
I'm not sure I'd ever invest in properties for cashflow...

Are you the Ant or the Grasshopper?
The Ant and the Grasshopper
One summer day, a grasshopper was singing, chirping and having a wonderful time. He saw an ant busy gathering and storing grain for the winter.
"Stop & talk to me," said the grasshopper. "We can sing some songs & dance for a while."
"Oh no," said the ant. "Winter is coming and I need to store up food. I think you should do the same."
"Oh, now is not a good time. Winter is a long time off! There will be enough food for me so I'm not bothered," said the grasshopper. So he continued to dance and sing and chip while the ant continued to work.
Then winter came. The grasshopper had no food and was starving. He went to the ant's house and asked, "Can I have some wheat or maybe a few kernels of corn? Without it I will starve," whined the grasshopper.
"You danced last summer," said the ants in disgust. "You can continue to dance." And they gave him no food.
"You danced last summer," said the ants in disgust. "You can continue to dance." And they gave him no food.
So, are you ready for the next recession?
Ready when inflation hits and everything more than doubles the price?

Bolehland!
When I was in Primary 6, the teachers encouraged us to subscribe to the Star Newspaper from the school. Retail price was RM1.20 and we got ours for about RM0.80 or so. It was to cultivate a reading habit among us primary school kids. So every day we'd get our copy and guess what was the first thing most of us did?
That's right! We'd turn to the comic section! Haha. Somehow most of us were faithful readers of that column. It was something that appealed to us kids. They say, "Old habits die hard." Up till today, comics still have a place in my heart!
Bolehland.com is a place where two guys express their epic journey in Malaysia and I'm proud to actually know one of them! Dankhoo... One of those from my primary school days (a.k.a. the Star Newspaper comic days).
If you're one of those who have a particular interest in the lifestyle and issues in Malaysia, what better way to read about them than in the form of a comic strip. Click on the strip below to visit their website :)

Fat Spoon!
FAT SPOON CAFE
Grandma's recipe + Good coffee
Grandma's recipe + Good coffee
Yesterday, Jamie and I had a delicious, hearty meal at Fat Spoon Cafe in Damansara Utama. Had driven passed the cafe one and its sign board caught my eye. So yesterday evening, Jamie and I decided we'd pay Fat Spoon a visit.
Standing at the door, she pointed our that its door was full of character. We admired the design of the shop from the outside and their doorknob in the shape of a spoon got my attention.
As we walked in, we were mesmerized by the interior design of the cafe. It truly reminded Jamie of her grandma's house! Especially the cupboard behind the chair she sat on!
Ooi, the owner of the shop, said this was their family business and her daughter, Chelle & her boyfriend managed the design of the place.
We sat down and were wondering, "Where's the menu?" only to find this:
Now, this place had attitude. It was so impressive and we could wait to try some of grandma's recipe!
Here's what we ordered:
 |
| Grandma's Lou She Fun |
 |
| Nasi Kampung |
   |
| Awesome DIY Popiah! |
*burp!*
We were so full and felt so loved...
We can't wait to go back for the Good Coffee that we missed yesterday!
Location: 73 Jln SS 21/1A, Damansara Utama
