Yup, after 4 years of living in my own abode in Shah Alam, which I bought in 2004, I have finally sold it off to make a decent profit of 37%. I have until 1 December 2011 to find a new home. We have been house hunting, which can be fun but also tiring, looking at places around the PJ...
Gallivanter’s 14 Free Car Tips for Malaysians
posted by Gallivanter
Skip Washing the Car on Your Own I used to wash my car at home, and end up spending longer time, and probably 5 times more than a professional car wash. It’s because we care for our car and make the effort to clean as much as possible, and sometimes, leave scratches by trying to wash too...

Genting Highlands – A View from My Condo
posted by Gallivanter
On a clear day, when Indons do not decide to burn their forests to clear land for agriculture and what nots, I can see Genting Highlands from my condo in Shah Alam. Of course, KLCC & Twin Towers are a “permanent” view if we’re haze-free, but it takes a special day (just a...

[ad] How much time do you spend each day traveling to and from your work? I spent an average of 40 minutes one way which translates to 1 hour and 20 minutes on the road. On occasions, it can go up to an hour, and that will usually make me restless. It’s OK if I have NEW music to listen...
