A Home Online for My New Home

I promised to write more about the whole experience of buying a home, so I've finally set up a home online for the journey of buying my first home.

It is no simple task for a beginner with html codes, websites, hosting, domain names and wordpress. But with grit and determination, I've finally see some light in cracking the technicalities.

Upgrading from this user-friendly blogspot to wordpress, is something out of my comfort zone too. There's more technical stuff to learn, especially the computing jargons and more dealing with html codes too.

But if all these earned me a decent website and a vast knowledge, why not?

I just lose some sleep over this but it has been fun so far, especially when you finally see your efforts up, live!

Blogspot is good for novices; once you have familiarised yourself with altering the html codes, you could upgrade to wordpress if you prefer more challenging stuff and having a blog with your own domain name.

Well, for the really novices, wordpress is a free blogging software that you can download for free. Then take the lessons to install it yourself.

As for domain names, it is like your house address. And hosting is the space you rent monthly to put your house on.

So in other words, I've created a virtual home, to tell stories about the real, physical home!

So in future, I would write all things related to the house and maybe more houses to come here, at this website www.myhomemalaysia.com

I'm going to miss the user-friendly features of blogspot, however, I believe, change is always for the better. It might be painful now, but then, there are more space to grow after the change.

I would still keep this blog, to write about other stuff which is not related to the house. Maybe on some insights and thoughts I have.

So for those who are keen to find out more, do head down to www.myhomemalaysia.com. I've posted more photos there. And hopefully more to come. :)

My New Abode!... soon..

After many sleepless nights, tossing and turning in bed, with hundred and one things flying through my mind, finally the decision is made. I finally bought my first house! :D

A double-storey semi-detached house in Juru, Butterworth, Penang. A good location I would say, if you look at the map.

Here's the pictures from the show house for you to oogle at:

The overall view - the living room, the dining hall and the kitchen.



A very nice kitchen, love to be sitting there eating steam boat or even having drinks with that bar-like top.



A cosy corner, the upstairs hall.



Master bedroom



Kiddy room



The other room



That's the appetizer. More information should be following up after I'm kind of done shopping around for the best home loan in the country! heehehe.. my head is still throbbing from lack of sleep and the excitement but then it's worth all the effort. anyway, shall blog more some other time. Now need to zoom out to settle whatever stuff that I need to do. Enjoy! :)
