The Good Widow i fall in love with.....

Many of my friends know of my 'tree-hugger' status...but if you ask me whether i'm a beach person or a jungle person...i would certainly answer the second despite my new found hobby of scuba diving...

I would reserve beaches and the sea as holiday destinations and rather have the morning mist, chirpings of birds and crickets welcoming me every start of the day....

And when the picture of the multi-award winning Enderong house in an architectures book not too long ago caught my eye, i immediately decided to have Janda Baik or more specifically TanaRimba Janda Baik my dream home location..... well, a guy is allowed to dream at least rite??.....:)

While 'busy' preparing for my psychiatry end of 2-weeks intro MCQ exam, i suddenly remembered that not too long dream...and decided to surf the internet for it...i found the site of TanaRimba and many lots are yet to be sold...my guess is...millions of ringgits...there is also this rule that stated that once a piece of land is bought, a house must be built in three years time and that the land size of the house must not exceed one fifth of the land bought...to me that is just perfect...a way for the developer to maintain the jungle look...

Once i was done with my exam, my mom came to Kuantan to pick me and the teak furnitures i bought for the house... Told my mom of the place and persuaded her to go and explore it together...we reached TanaRimba quite late and the office had just closed but the guards seeing my enthusiatic face let us through and what i saw made me love the place even more...the fresh air..untouched nature...the lanscape...just sirene... there are many houses still in the process of construction..i might pay this place a visit again once i'm done with MBBS to keep the fire burning...

They also have this amazing 'logs-inspired' community hall next to a lake that i simply and instantly picture my wedding taking place... haha... again.. one can dream rite.... and when we left the place..it took us 20 minutes to reach KL!!! How awesome is that....Below are some of the pictures captured (taken with my iphone and its nearly 7 pm so the pics not that nice...sorry)....


the main road in TanaRimba...see that house among the trees...i want!!

Another house i envy

and another...this one has a wonderful garden that is not in the picture...i did take a pic but i don't think it did justice so i'm not posting it up

love the achitecture!

My ultimate...this resort concept...where rooms given individual blocks with open pathways connecting the spaces of the house is my type of house

My mom loves this one...not my cup of tea...the house next to this one looks exotic with most of its wooden wall filled with traditional carvings(pic not available as its hard to take the photo...harder to explain why its hard)
wedding reception area?? haha

My mom surveying my future wedding place...hehe
