The Brezza Condominium - Service after sales

One word - unreliable!!!

Come to think of it, it applies to before, pre and after sales service.

I first made the 1% downpayment on Aug 20th and finally last week, I managed to pay the remaining 9%. That was like after several reminders to the salesperson to provide me with their company acct no and full name. The salesperson gave empty promises. "I'll let you know this afternoon". And that afternoon never came until 1 week later.

Not only that, they backdated the S&P agreement date to the date I first made the 1% downpayment which was one month later!!! And if it wasn't for us following up on the case, neither the lawyers nor UDA bothered to call us up.

And now, we have had received numerous progressive bills (which was supposed to be sent to our banker...), again backdated ones..!! And yet, they have the guts to request us to make the payment within one month time!! Which had already expired even before it reached us!! %^"$%$!!! So, I certainly "look forward" to the time they tell us to pay the penalty charges due to late payment...!

Are they really that incompetent????!!!

Lazy weekend

It's only 4.00pm on Sunday but seems like I've been sitting here in the living hall for hours.... Time certainly crawls at this moment.

Rainy day... It's been raining non-stop since yesterday morning. The positive points are the air is fresh and the weather's just nice. Good time to just relax and do nothing. That's exactly what I've been doing... Doing nothing. Light newspaper and Facebook reading. Till I get so bored....and lazy...

The whole neighbourhood seems to come to a standstill except for the on-going passing by cars in front of the house. At least that keeps me company. Leia's soundly asleep. Since 1.30pm... Hubby woke up not long ago and he's out now. Maid - probably still finding things to do to keep her occupied. Pa-in-law is still resting nicely in his room....

What's there interesting and productive for me to do right now? Think about what to cook again? Oh... not again, though I must admit that I like to cook. I'm putting on weight again, that's why! Hmmmph!

Anywhere nice to go around Penang in such weather? It's weekend, come on! It shouldn't be turned into hibernating days every end of the week... Why am I not creative anymore when it comes to planning outdoor activities? Have I fallen into the trap of momhood? I shudder to think of being one like my grandmother used to be. No way... it's just not me.

The Brezza Condominium

We have verbally booked a unit last Thursday. Pretty excited and yet concerned. After all, it's our first property investment initiative. Quite nervous actually...

Have been eyeing and following the updates of property market in Penang for a while now. The theory is that if you see something good, you gotta do it fast. Otherwise, you'll lose out. Well, being a conservative and low-risk taker I am, many good opportunities have indeed slipped out of the hand. So, this time must let hubby handles this investment plan of ours. No more pulling him back...

The Brezza Condo is one of the upcoming non-landed properties in Penang. Its developer is Uda Land (semi-owned by the government).

Just got a call from headhunter for Shipping Manager position. Should I or should I not?

Second beach outing cum dinner

Last Saturday, I finally managed to persuade hubby to take us all to the beach. I read in several websites like this and this that toddlers at Leia's age are interested in playing with sand and water. So, I thought we must grant this favour to Leia. And the last time we took her to a beach was several months back. But of course, the recent raining season has been a "good excuse" to hubby as to why we shouldn't... Hmmm, I think he's getting lazier and heavier each day.... No wonder!

And the recent haze enveloping major parts in Malaysia (Penang certainly not spared!) just adds salt to the wound. So, if you ask us what we have been doing lately? Home and shopping complex quarantined.

Getting all ready to go. Where is this papa?

What happened to her pony tail??

Have to wait for mommy to get ready... as usual...

Meantime, let's play outdoor with Mr.Giraffe!

Phoenix wants to join in the fun!

Ah Kong continues to water the plants while waiting for everyone to get ready...

Real hot weather. Itchy...

Mommy, wipe wipe....

There are so many beaches in Penang and since clock was showing 6pm plus by the time we got ready, we decided to go to the nearest beach at Tanjung Tokong area so that we could get good sunset view. The beach was located behind Naza Hotel.

Getting there soon....

The sea!

Going down the steps

Yay, we're here!

Tie hair. Hot, hot , hot!

Wear slippers, roll up the jeans

We first visited the beach with Leia when she was less than a year old. I could still remember that she was afraid of the sea wave appproaching her then. And last Saturday, she was afraid too. The wave was rough and it was high tide. And it was so hot! We could hardly open our eyes. Ah kong and the maid were smart to go hiding under a shady tree.

So, this mommy decided to take on the role model stand. I went near the sea and dipped my legs into the water. She was encouraged by the sight of me touching the sea water and took a few steps forward.... before retreating. An angry' wave was approaching, you see...

And before we knew it, the wave reached her violently and SPLASH!! Leia's offcially wet. From her chest all the way down. And what's the next reaction? Waaaaahhhhhh...!!! Official sign of protest from the 'lil princess.

Very, very sad....

And perhaps we (or should I say... "I") have taught her too much about the need to being clean, she regarded the sand stuck to her feet as "dirty". In between her cries, she couldn't stop complaining, "dirty..... dirty.....dirty.... mommy dirty...... papa dirty......". Both hubby and I didn't know whether to laugh and sympathise at her antics! Well, we did try to explain to her that it is sand and not dirt... but.... tough luck.

Showing us her 'dirty' foot...

Still, I wasn't ready to give up on our beach outing. So, we quickly took out her beach toys - spade, Maggi mee empty cups, container... and showed it to her on how we're supposed to play with sand... build sandcastles....collect sea shells..... bury our feet into the sand....

A one minute of non-crying scene. But still in her static pose....

Well, she did sat down on my lap and played with sand for a while before she remembered the 'dirt' still stuck on her feet. Then, the whole drama started again. Haih.... that officially ended our beach outing. Went for dinner instead. In wet clothes and no change.

Hmmm....we should do this beach outing more frequent. What say you?
