Cibubur, Dec. 22, 2007 – Today, I went to Cibubur. This is the fifth time I went there. I went there to see my house. Yes. My new house. I bought it couple of months ago, end of Sept, exactly. It’s a great feeling to finally have a house of my own. It’s a small house, but I love it! It’s exactly what I liked and wanted to have. The first time I saw this house, I knew exactly that that was the house that I wanted to have. I like the way it was built, I like the quality of the building and the materials, I love the way it was properly and nicely designed, how they divided each rooms, I love the location, and the most important thing was that the price suited to my budget! (well, after a bit of struggling here and there to get the down payment ready in time… ;p). And now, I finally got it! Nothing I can say except syukur alhamdulillah, ya Allah…
My new house is located at Legenda Wisata. It’s quite far actually from Jakarta. It takes about 45 minutes if I go there on Saturdays or Sundays. But if I go on weekdays, it may take about 1.5 to 2 hours considering the bad traffic along Jagorawi and Cawang highways. Well, where else can you find a housing complex at the outskirt of Jakarta that are traffic-free nowadays, right? Anywhere you choose, it’s the same problem, traffic…, traffic…, and traffic… But I’ve done my research on the location, the facilities, the area, the environment, the transportation, etc. etc. and I’m pretty happy with what I found about Legenda Wisata (thank to Sari who introduced me to this location, and thank to Agnes for so much info, soon we'll be neighbours...;p) So, I guess every choices that we made have their own consequences, don’t they? We’ll just have to live with it and accept it.
The activities of going and checking my house every two weeks really excite me. Now, I have something to look forward to every two weeks ;p And this is not to mention that I still have some other plans that I want to do to my new house later on. Yes, I still have a lot of things to do. I want to renovate it, then I want to fill it with some furniture soon enough so that I can start living there, well for the start, at least I can stay there only on weekends.
There are ample of empty spaces at the backyards which I plan to renovate. I want to add a small musholla (my father gave me the idea, actually) and move the kitchen. I also want to have a dining room and living room there, and I want to add one more bathroom complete with the service area. And to give the house a fresh air and good circulation, I want to have a small garden right in front of soon-to-be my bedroom. I’ve already had the floor plan right now. What I need to do next is to look for the right contractor to translate it into the real form, with as minimum budget as possible off course… ;p (I have limited budget for this, actually).
My plan is that, insya Allah, by the end of April 2008, I will be able to finish the renovation so by early May, I can start buying some furniture and live there on weekends (at least). It’s a lot of things to do and a lot of budget to spend too, but insya Allah, I’ll be able to realize it little by little. I just need to put aside some more money from my salary for these plans…
