the first encounter of the place


Let me take you back to March 2009 when we first set eyes on this place in Penang.

We took a picture of this place ,as tourists,even before knowing that we would rent it. We were invited to view this place later on. We loved it as soon as we entered the doors. We wanted it !



The owner wanted to sell it, but we were no buyers. We wanted to be her new tenants. Landlady was curious about what our plans were. After some lengthy negotiations, we shook hands and had porridge for lunch. I remember asking landlady if she could reduce the rent !

HA ! Talking about paying lesser money to someone from Penang. No chance !

The next viewing was supposed to be checking of the premises. Landlady left for KL.
Met her up in KL a few days later. We talked and talked. She could really talk.
We signed the contract and left back for Germany.

Few months later, landlady informed us that the water piping was leaking and that she wanted to wait for us in 2010 to do the correction of piping !

No way of talking me into it !

So, landlady did the whole piping all over the premises. Very nice and kind of her.
Isn't that should be the way ?......
