Hari Raya Haji

My Dear Muslim Friends,

Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Haji and enjoys great holiday tomorrow!

Happy Deepavali 2011

Wish everyone a very happy divali.

Celebrate this joyous occasion with your dear ones.

Annual General Meeting

Date: 15 October 2011
Time: 9.00am
Venue: Multi-Purpose Hall, Changkat View Condo

I think main agenda for the day is to decide the installation of the tempered glass panel at all lift lobbies together with the door access system. Another resolution is to install a main water filter.

We're been talking about it and this time around, these major decision will be based on the residents whether to adopt it or the other way round.

No more excuses, book the date and see you there!

Visitor Overnight Parking

Finally, the official notice is out. It may be a good news to those who have frequent visitors parking overnight. To summarize, for last minutes visitors decided to park overnight (after 12 midnight), the residents need to notify the guardhouse and the visitor is registered.

However, residents are encouraged to inform the management office in advance and apply for the visitor overnight parking permit during office hours. Please take down this security hotline at 012 9714463 in case you need any verification.

New project in Dutamas

After the successful launch of Verdana North Kiara, we saw another reputable developer jumping on the bandwagon. It is known that IJM owned a land behind Menara Duta 2 beside Changkat View. And this week, there's massive land clearing going on.

Some photos i just took.

Based on the report available, IJM did proposed to build high-end luxury condominium. But due to the termination of the JV, possibly a new project will be taking in. At the moment, Jalan Dutamas Raya is the only road access serving few condominiums mainly Prima Duta, Prima Ria, Changkat View, Menara Duta 1& 2, Villa Makmur, Duta Ria, Sutramas, Anggunpuri, Mesra Terrace and Duta Ria. Not to forget, the popular French School which directly increase the density of population in this area.

And in the next couple of years, more condo will be built and includes recent launched Verdana which will ready in 2013-2014. Though there's plan by DBKL to link Jalan Segambut to Jalan Kiara 3 and my personal view is that, an increased of traffic will gonna further increased the congestion issue in Dutamas. I tried to search for more information regarding this project but to no avail. I hope they review this project by building townhouse, villa or probably less densed condo. Anyone with info, do share.

Happy Malaysia Day

Let's hope this remarkable day remind us of different races the importance of unity, mutual understanding and love for each other.

Happy Malaysia Day!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Happy Holiday

To all my Muslim Friends,

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

Hope this wondeful celebration marked a new beginning for new life ventures.
Drive safe and have a great holiday!

New Fountain at Changkat View Condo

I managed to capture few photos of the new designed round-about fountain located at the Changkat View Condo. I did not received much info on the make-over but few residents have since expressed their opinions on the purpose of the project. Probably JMB should clarify in details on the expenses to the residents.

Personally, I do think its actually replacing the old boring looking piece of architecture. Anyhow, make a stroll around it and feel the dramatic effect of the water jet into the air.

For those who can't recalled the structure before make over, here it is:

New development around Dutamas

Besides the on going project of Matrade by NAZA and Solaris Dutamas, I heard rumours Sunway is in the process acquiring a land somewhere near the Kompleks Kerajaan. Anyone can verify this? I got this information from here. If it's true, we would expect billion of investment pouring in around Dutamas in the next 5 years.

And i think there's another development going to take off soon. It is situated between ICON Mont Kiara and Kensington Park, see here. Tips? Previous rumor was saying an interchange will be built. Was it still in the process of some other residential/commercial project in the pipeline?

Property price hike

I got this information from the website stated as above. Lately I'd received many sms stating a ready buyer interested in my units. To be surprised, the price offered is in the range of RM430k and above. A quick check in the iproperty also found out that most of the units for sale starts from the price of RM400K or 363psf. Just wondering anyone of you obtain a real transacted price. Any valuer from bank can verify this.

Those earlier investor who bought in from block A must laughing all the way to the bank as the margin had come close to 50% of the developer price (RM160 psf). But i don't think so there's that much of supply in the market right now to meet the demand.

Happy Wesak Day

Wish all my Buddhist friends a Happy Wesak Day and to other friends Happy Holiday! May this occasion bring happiness to all of us.

Let's Get to Know our Neighbours ( Post event)

I was there after 1pm. Buffet style food was served and a slide show on the recent upgrading works are presented. Not many residents were seen around that time. A rough guess, probably around 30 pax. I was told later that time, more residents joined.

I'm glad to meet up with few owners and friends. Fellow JMB were seen updating residents on the recent developement as well as their future plan. It is definitely a great event for owners to mingle around and get the latest news. I guess the next event will be the AGM which scheduled in the next 2 months. Hope more owners can join us!

Let's Get to Know Our Neighbours (Updated on 6th April 2011)

Please be informed that JMB is organizing a gathering for all owners with details as following:

Time: 12- 3 pm
Venue: Badminton Hall at Club House

Residents are encouraged to join this event to get to know each other better.

Cigarette butt

Looking back 2 years ago, I blogged about irresponsible resident puffing away at the pool side.

Revisit this issue again, I thought the problem had reduced at least not to my unit anymore. I did complaint extensively that the smoker happily throw the cigarette butt away and felled into my balcony. I assumed the fellow had move away. Thanks god!

But unfortunately, this problem had failed to stop and an owner who actually raised up to me via email. I can fully understand how it felt especially those smoker simply throw the "rubbish" butt out of the balcony and landed on top your balcony damaging your clothes and floor. We should not condone the act of unhygienic, irresponsible, selfishness and unethical and they got no right to jeopardize and endanger the life of another human being.

p/s: Smoker, if you careless about your life and your environment be it, but not to other.
Stop now before it stops you!
