Quantum of Solace

(This entry is a continuation from my previous entry on House Hunting) MH and I continued the house hunting for the next following months. It took us quite a long time to find our dream (dream lah sangat!) house to call our own, mainly because we were looking for these specific set of criteria - a landed house, corner lot, somewhere near Putrajaya but still not quite far from KL.

Kadang-kadang tersesat sampai kat ceruk mana! One fine day, as we were driving around we spotted a house at Bandar Kinrara, Puchong. It was the perfect house! Double-storey, corner lot, low density housing area, very near to shop lots - wow! We called the property  agent who came right away. Checked on the price...
