The Peak

Watch out for this gigantic sign announcing "THE PEAK".

Can you guess where this place is? Answer coming soon... Stay tuned...

1000 Lanterns

"Celebrate a 1000 Lanterns" is the theme for the Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration organised at Jade Hills on 6 Sep 2008. The clubhouse and the surrounding show village were beautifully decorated with thousands of lanterns of various colours and sizes.

The event started officially at 4:00pm but it was not until around 6:00pm that guests began trickling in.

The programme arranged for that evening include musical performances, choreographed dances, a drum symphony and children's games. Of course, most importantly, food and refreshments were served to fill empty stomachs.

As darkness approached, the lanterns were brightly lit to show off their colours.

In between performances, there were also psychedelic lights and contemporary music to entertain the crowd.

The visitors were seen enjoying themselves with the activities lined up for them.

Couldn't take many photos of the events that day due to work commitments. Nevertheless, here are a few more pictures to leave you with.

COOL... Can't wait for the next event at Jade Hills...

Disneyland

No, this is not Disneyland as you might have expected, but a housing estate that looks like Disneyland. This is Taman Putri Jaya located at Cheras, Selangor. You will notice these houses as you travel along Cheras-Kajang Expressway near Batu 9 Toll Plaza.

Notice that the corner house stand out among the rest with a rounded, bigger and higher "viewing tower".

Some houses have been repainted and decorated with bright striking colours;

while others have their original colours and design maintained.

Low Cost Houses

Not all landed terrace houses come with a readymade car porch. This was what I found out as I drove around Taman Matang Jaya, a low cost housing estate at Selangor one fine morning. A typical terrace house unit here does not have a carporch, driveway, gate or any fence bordering the garden. Those who want these infrastructures will have to construct their own, as can be seen by the house on the right. Well, this brings new meaning to the term "open neighbourhood".

Tiara Puteri

Here are some semi-detached show houses. Very nice and contemporary design indeed. This is part of a new development by the name of Tiara Puteri, located at Sungai Buloh, Selangor.

The flat and tilted roofs above resemble a mortarboard. Below, you will notice that the full-height glass window has its top slanting outwards. A very unique feature of the house. Colourful glass panels can also be seen at the background.

More Four-Storey Houses

Further to my previous article on this, I didn't know four-storey houses are so common in KL area until I come across this:

Location: Jalan Medang Serai, Bangsar

Using the same observation as the first photo taken in my previous article, the bottom two floors have a different design from the top two floors. As such, one can conclude that these four-storey houses are actually two double-storey houses. You can see here clearly that both upper unit and lower unit have one carpark space each. Making an educated guess, I believe the white gate belongs to the upper unit with the white window grilles, while the dark gate belongs to the lower unit with dark window grilles. Correct?

Four-Storey Houses

Look at this four-storey house:

Location: Taman Sinaran, Kajang

As can be seen, it is actually made up of two double-storey houses. One can observe that the lower double-storey house is occupied while the upper double-storey house is vacant. The walls are painted in different colours anyway, confirming the above observation. The staircase seen here provides access to the upper unit.

Now take a look at another four-storey house below:

Location: Ipoh Garden East

Wow! This show house looks like a mini palace, with its modern architectural design and stunning facade. The Lower Ground Floor provides a cellar-cum-bar concept, a cosy corner to store bottles of wine and drink the night away. The Ground Floor is made up of the living room, dining room, kitchen, etc. The First Floor comprises the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Now comes the exciting part. A "deluxe" bedroom together with its attached bathroom occupies the entire Second Floor. The ambience here is really astounding, giving it a really penthouse-resort kind of feeling. You have to see and experience it for yourself.

COOL.
