Latest Additions

Our latest additions to the house. This should be our last renovation works before embarking to phase 2 of beautification of the house.



If only electricity is free so that I can turn on the air-con 24x7 coz it's really really humid in Balik Pulau.

Thanks to my neighbour behind (smile if you are reading this), we found out that we can get really fresh fish from the Pasar Nelayan at the end of the road towards Pulau Betong. The price is reasonable, only disadvantage is that you need to clean the fish yourself.

By the way, we saw a dead tiny snake at the junction at our housing area. Not sure if this is a one-off occurence, else we need to start doing something about it. My car door just had a tiny hornet nest which luckily the eggs did not hatch. Living amidst nature?

 

Staying here

We have gotten used to the distance and not having a shopping mall nearby. However there are few things that really annoys us:
1) There are a lot of mosquitoes eventhough we keep all windows and doors closed, switch on the Ridsect Good Night liquid, turn on the UV zapper or apply minyak serai. The kids get bitten all over and we can't keep the windows opened for ventilation.
2) After/ before rain, there are a lot of winged ants (and I really mean a lot). It is a big headache cleaning them up and sweeping is not the most effective way. Vacumm doesn't work well too.
3) I expected quite cooling air from this area. However it is really hot and humid. Maybe it's not confined to Balik Pulau alone.

And some of the other complaints
- A lot of non-resident kids driving motorbikes and taking over the playground.
- The water in the drain is stagnant, and water doesn't flow at the curb in front (where you put the rubbish bin). It gives me the impression that belleview only cares for viewable aesthetics (e.g. using branded WC, switches) but doesn't care much about the structures.
