More Pictures of Facilities @ Royal Domain




Okay, I haven't written anything for quite a while already, and that's only because I've been busy painting my unit. Don't worry! It looks superb already.
But for now, here's some photos I recently took. This first one is the view of the man-made waterdrop - which is the major feature as residents and visitors enter the compound. Beautifully made, and architecturally sound. As a person of engineering background, I am quite impressed by how they harnessed the projectile to make it look sound. This is one of the best works in Royal Domain.
This next picture is the same waterdrop again - just a front view of the whole wallscape. Really nice and beautiful, particularly at night. This is a picture I took around sunset, so the lights are already on. The water reflections at night really give that sanctuary-calming-type of effect. Really nice.

This is the fountain right in front of the waterdrop wallscape. Well actually, this is the very first thing you'll see right after the guard post. Really nice too. It gives you the feel that you're at some kind of resort. Well I guess that was the intention of the developer's architect in the first place, anyway - resort-type living in the middle of the city, which is practical, beautiful, yet affordable.
Right this is the "life saver" of the whole Royal Domain condominium complex. I don't know how much they really make, but I'm sure it's LOADS of money. The convenient store is very well managed; and the things sold are quite comprehensive too. In short, if you're talking about surviving one month (or more!!!) without leaving the complex: it is possible - though I'm sure you wouldn't want to do that. Hahahah!
Just behind, opposite of the convenient store is the hairdressing salon. I've never gone there myself - but I hear that it is very convenient, especially for the ladies. To me: to have a dedicated salon in a condominium area is quite a luxury.
This is the bakery - which is really popular among the foreigners and expats who recide in the Royal Domain condominium complex. They sell all sorts of delicacies; many are particularly imported: like the Iranian bread, and other wheat-based food. Good stuff! Unique, and convenient.

This last picture has got nothing to do with the facilities at Royal Domain. It's just a picture I took from the master bedroom facing out. The two silhoutte heads are my childrens'. You can see the rainbow behind, on top of their heads: and that's what makes this photo special. Hahah! But another thing I wanted to share is the space felt from the master bedroom's window. It's quite wide, and you can see the balconies of neighbours if you look to the side; just like how is shown in this picture.

I'll be back with more, as soon as possible. As soon as all is done - I'll be pasting photos showing the newly painted walls in the house.

See ya!

I've Started Painting My Condo Unit !

Heyyyyy

Here's the score!

I've started doing repainting works.

Sorry I'm not going to wait for the prospective buyer to say his preferred colour; because I've just realised that if I were to do a professional job, it's going to take time. So I'll just do things gradually, carefully and with that special eye to detail.

The colour will mainly be bright white + a feature hazelwood colour wall which matches perfectly with the windows and colour concept of the whole condominium complex.

So far, works have been very petty and very detailed - one by one. Polyfilling >> then sanding >> then second polyfilling >> then sanding >> then cleaning + damping >> then first coat >> then second coat >> then third coat.

So it's a lot of work, for a perfectionist finish. I'll send out photos as soon as there are developments.

SO STAY TUNED!

Paint The House Before Leaving

Indeed.

That's what I plan to do before leaving. I'm an honest seller and I dislike selling defective items. I would love to sell my condo unit, and only part with it, in the way I received it several years ago. So what I intend to do for the prospective buyer, is: if given a decent purchase price - I will repaint the whole house for you. You name the colours you want, and I'll do it for you.
With feature wall?
Without feature wall?
You name your preference.

Infact, perhaps you know this already, in Germany - even if you're renting a house, before you leave the place, you are required to repaint or replace the wallpaper. That's the deal. It's the custom and the etiquettes of purchase and transfer from owner-to-owner or tenant-to-tenant. I guess this isn't a culture we're used to yet in Malaysia. But I'll be glad to do it for my potential purchaser. No problem.

And obviously and naturally, as with any home, through days and weeks and months and time: there would be paint cracks and teeny-weeny holes here and there, so I'm more than happy to fill them up. It's just ethical business that I promote. I like fair transactions; and happy transactions. Happy sellers; and happy buyers.

So what I plan to do is - as soon as the contract is signed and all documents are settled with the potential buyer, I'll arrange my shift to Shah Alam with my family, pack my bags, call the movers and empty the house; and leave whatever I've promised that I'd leave e.g. the ceiling fans, the lamps, the curtains, the rails, the water heaters, the air-conditioning units, etc. etc.

Hopefully things will be all out by a Friday evening, just at the start of the weekend. On Saturday morning I'll start doing all the refinement works, filling the empty holes and such, sandpapering, fluffing things up, and by Sunday afternoon everything will be back to NEW. Wow-wee! Then I pass the keys to you that evening; and the condo unit is yours! Brand new!

I wouldn't call myself the nicest chap in the world, but when it comes to things like these, it's always nice to do a good job. And it's fulfilling to the heart too. So buyers come on! For RM360K + negotiable? Any takers?
