What You Need to Know About Buying a Bungalow

February 17, 2016

Buying a Bungalow

Preparing to purchase a bungalow from Property Guru can be both an exciting and daunting proposition. Bungalows are generally smaller structures that make the ideal home for first-time buyers, and there are many variables when it comes to choosing the property that is right for you.

As with any prospective home there are pros and cons that need to be addressed. Here are some valuable pros and cons to consider when shopping for that perfect bungalow:

Pro: Know Your Structure

A bungalow is typically a single-storey dwelling that is detached and usually has an abundance of outdoor living space. Screened-in porches or open air verandahs are common, since owners of these homes usually enjoy spending a great deal of time outdoors.

Pro: A Bungalow Makes a Great Home for Individuals Dealing with Mobility Issues

There comes a time in life when many of us are better off not having to negotiate staircases, especially in our own homes. This makes bungalows a great choice for seniors, or people dealing with mobility issues. Moreover, since these homes are all on one level, things like doorways and dividing walls can be easily altered to accommodate wheelchairs since you don’t have to worry about compromising support beams that cannot be removed or re-located in multi-storey homes.

Pro: Bungalows Are Usually Situated on Larger Plots of Land

A large plot of land offers greater versatility, especially if the home you are considering buying is on the small side. Bungalows can easily be renovated to adapt to changing needs. For example, a young couple wishing to start a family can extend a bungalow to include one or two more bedrooms. A single, older couple can renovate an existing smaller kitchen, turning it into a dream gourmet kitchen with all the latest features and appliances. In some cases, bungalow owners will even opt to turn their bungalows into two storey structures, maximizing the value of the home and the land it sits on.

Pro: Smaller Homes Usually Cost Less to Heat and Cool

Larger homes are notorious for their maintenance costs, particularly heating them in the winter, and cooling them in the summer. Since bungalows are much smaller, your utility usage will be much less, and the costs won’t be as considerable as those in larger homes.

Pro: Bungalows Are a Great Investment

Since bungalows are such versatile properties, they will usually maintain their value or increase in value. This should be a consideration for every first-time home buyer since you will want to get a return on your investment if you decide to move to a larger home in the future.

Pro: Enhanced Privacy

Bungalows are detached, stand-alone homes, which allow you to have a much greater degree of privacy than if you lived in an attached home or an apartment. You’re able to spread out and get a little noisy, usually without having to worry about upsetting the neighbours.

Con: Higher Cost Per Square Foot

Many real estate experts believe that bungalows are overpriced considering their size. The cost per square foot is almost always double what you would pay for a two-storey home, but what you lack in space can be made up for by location.

Con: Not Much In the Way of Storage

Bungalows generally have fewer rooms, and therefore, not as much storage. Some homes do not even have basements, which can add to the challenge of storing belongings that are not regularly used. This can easily be solved by renting a separate storage space, or investing in furniture that has the capacity to store items like clothing and household items.

Con: Bungalows Can Be Considered Outdated

Sure, everything has gotten bigger over the years, but living in a small home still retains a certain charm. Some people prefer smaller homes, and like the fact that they are easier to care for and maintain.

Con: Everything is on One Floor

Having everything on the same floor might be considered a drawback for some people because everything is on display. You can’t hide messy bedrooms or clutter as easily in a bungalow because the rooms are closer together. This could either be an good incentive to keep things tidy, or motivation to save for a larger two-storey home.

Con: Security Issues:

Depending on the area a bungalow is located in, it could potentially be a security risk. Having everything on the ground floor, including every window, makes these structures more tempting for burglars. It is important to invest in a good security system, as well as sturdy locks for all windows and doors to ensure your safety while you are home and away.

This list of pros and cons is the perfect place to start if you are new to house hunting, or if it’s been a while since you’ve considered the possibility of moving to a new home. The goal is to search until you find the home that is perfect for your needs.

3 tanda hendak bersalin yang perlu ibu hamil tahu

February 09, 2016

Tanda-tanda hendak bersalin

Dengan mengenali tanda-tanda hendak bersalin, anda akan mengetahui waktu yang tepat untuk ke hospital. Pengalaman CN masa hendak bersalinkan Irfan dulu, almaklumlah anak pertama, bila rasa sakit kontraksi yang memang menyakitkan terus diajak Encik Suami ke hospital. Bila check bukaan baru 2cm. Dah kena balik rumah 'melayan' sakit kontraksi yang kejab-kejab datang atau lebih dikenali sebagai braxton hicks.

Apakah 3 tanda hendak bersalin yang perlu ibu hamil tahu?

1. Kontraksi yang teratur

: Kontraksi yang dirasai pada kali ini tidak seperti kontraksi braxton hicks dimana ia timbul secara teratur. Pada permulaannya, kontraksi hanya sebentar dan lama kelamaan menjadi bertambah lama dan kuat serta selang masa adalah singkat. Ketika kontraksi sudah teratur, mulalah kira waktunya. Kelahiran akan terjadi apabila kontraksi menjadi semakin dekat iaitu 40 saat antara satu sama lain.

2. Lendir bercampur darah

: Pengeluaran lendir bercampur darah terjadi disebabkan oleh sumbatan yang tebal pada mulut rahim terlepas sehingga menyebabkan terkeluarnya lendir yang berwarna kemerah-merahan kerana bercampur dengan darah. Pengalaman CN sendiri, lendir bercampur darah ini telah keluar sehari sebelum bersalin.

3. Air ketuban pecah

: Kantung ketuban yang mengelilingi bayi pecah sehingga menyebabkan air ketuban terkeluar. CN pula ketuban dipecahkan ketika di dalam labour room. Untuk pengetahun anda, air ketuban ini berbentuk bersih, jernih dan tidak berbau.

Sudah mempunyai salah satu tanda hendak bersalin ini?

Apa tunggu lagi, cepatlah menyerah diri di hospital ye. Tapi sebelum itu, pastikan anda makan terlebih dahulu kerana proses bersalin adalah memenatkan dan memerlukan tenaga yang banyak. Untuk anak kedua ini harap-harap CN lebih bertenang dan dapat makan sebelum bersalin kerana ketika Irfan dulu, CN langsung tak boleh makan disebabkan mual dan loya. Akibatnya memang semput dan tidak bermaya la semasa proses bersalin. Syukur alhamdulillah, walaupun tenaga tidak berapa kuat, mental yang kuat membolehkan CN bersalin secara normal.

p/s: Serius CN memang lupa rasa sakit bersalin tu macam mana. Cuak pula menunggu kelahiran kali kedua ini.

Perlukah vaksin untuk si kecil?

February 01, 2016

7 persoalan kenapa perlunya vaksin

Zaman sekarang ibubapa moden semakin bijak dan mempunyai pelbagai pendapat sendiri tentang kepentingan vaksin kepada si kecil. Terdapat kumpulan sokongan ibubapa di facebook yang menyatakan TIDAK untuk vaksin atas pelbagai alasan. Yang paling biasa didengari adalah "orang dulu-dulu tidak ambil pun vaksin, kenapa boleh hidup lama dan sihat je?."

Perlu diingat, terdapat banyak perbezaan zaman dulu dan zaman sekarang. Jika anda berpendapat bahawa si kecil tidak perlukan vaksin atas alasan hendak disamakan dengan orang dulu-dulu. Jawab dulu persoalan dibawah ini :

1. Adakah anda mengambil makanan organik seperti orang dulu-dulu?

2. Adakah anda menghirup udara yang bersih seperti zaman dulu-dulu?

3. Adakah anda menggunakan dapur kayu untuk memasak?

4. Adakah anda pasti bahawa ayam kampung yang anda makan yang konon-kononnya organik benar-benar tidak makan dedak?

5. Adakah anda pasti sayur organik yang dibeli di pasar benar-benar organik?

6. Adakah anda tidak pernah membawa si kecil berjalan-jalan di shoping complex yang semestinya mempunyai ramai orang?

7. Adakah sumber air minuman anda benar-benar tiada campuran bahan kimia?

Sebenarnya banyak lagi persoalan yang boleh diutarakan untuk mereka yang terlalu 'taksub' mengatakan tidak untuk vaksin ini. Kemon ibubapa yang bijak-bijak diluar sana, sesungguhnya banyak perbezaan zaman dulu dan zaman sekarang. Kita tidak boleh samakan anak kita di zaman ini dengan zaman dulu.

Vaksin membantu menyelamatkan nyawa kanak-kanak daripada ancaman pelbagai penyakit berbahaya dengan membina ketahanan tubuh untuk melawan jangkitan. Ketahanan tubuh kepada sesuatu penyakit akan diperoleh melalui dua cara iaitu hasil daripada jangkitan penyakit berkenaan dan badan membina antibodi kepadanya dan satu lagi adalah menerusi antibodi yang diperoleh melalui imunisasi.

Pentingnya imunisasi ini yang diberikan secara PERCUMA oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. Mengapa perlu mengatakan tidak??
