2 months into 2007 already!!

Why does time fly by so fast? We are already at the end of February 2007! So, what's been happening since my last update? Let's see..

Jan 18th - we drove to SG to attend the Il Divo concert. Easy drive, but quite sore for me, as I was still recovering from my fall. By the end of the four hours I was aching.... and then sat through 2 hours of the concert. It was exhausting, but worth it. We enjoyed the show thoroughly though I have to say that it was a tad LOUD and overwhelming in terms of volume at times. Luckily the group have strong enough voices to be heard over the music, but still.... LOUD.

Joined the gym in Feb, and in the first couple of weeks swam in their lovely heated indoor swimming pool, attended a couple of Pilates sessions (very enjoyable) and did a few rounds of circuit training. THEN on my Mum's birthday (10th Feb) I got a very painful sore throat and dry cough which ended up as a throat and chest infection which till TODAY I am still trying to recover from.

In fact, over Chinese New Year (when I had a lovely LONG weekend break from 17th to 21st Feb inclusive) I had gotten a LOT better... then went back to the office on 22nd and the cough was back with a vengeance. I think the aircon was what caused it! Yesterday (Sat) was pretty bad. I was feeling sick, shaky, migrainey, and coughing my lungs out... and with each cough my head felt like it would explode... sigh... I just hope that as the Year of the Pig progresses things will improve.

Husband has been kept pretty busy too, doing some work for a company in SG - including having to go to SG from 11 to 15th Feb to attend a series of meetings. Of course, this meant that he missed Valentine's Day... but then, every day with Husband is Valentine's Day, so it really doesn't matter :-)

Also, with any luck, we should be getting the keys to a condo we bought some time ago!! Once we get the keys we intend to put the condo on the market, so if anyone is interested, leave a comment on this blog :-) Where is the condo? It is right on the edge of PJ, just before Sg Buloh. It is called Armanee Condo, in Damansara Damai.... and to give you a short blurb on the property:

- High floor, overlooking forest reserve, corner unit, 2000+ sq ft, duplex.
- Lower level: entrance foyer, utility room, bathroom, sitting & dining room with wrap-around balcony, wet and dry kitchen areas with small balcony for laundry area
- Upper level: 3 bedrooms, family area with balcony. Master has en-suite, the other two bedrooms share a bathroom.
- 2 carparks
- The apartment is above the next block, so there is complete privacy as nobody is high enough to look into the apartment.

Why are we selling? Well, we were originally intending to live there. Then, while waiting for it, we moved to Husbands apartment in Mont'Kiara and we are now so used to living here, that we dont want to leave this area. Armanee Condo is actually quite lovely. The whole complex is beautifully done with really good facilities, and it is convenient to the NKVE and the LDP..... and if it wasnt for the fact that we are used to living where we are now, we would not hesitate to live in Armanee.

Price? Developer's price for corner unit ranged from RM520K to RM590K depending on which floor - the higher the floor, the higher the price. Our asking price is RM575K and it is negotiable. So, if anyone is interested, drop me a line.

In the meantime... to all our Chinese friends out there

and may the Year of the Boar be a truly joyful, healthy and prosperous year for ALL!
