Pteah NiSai

In the end of 2022, I took a major decision to right the wrong-doing and to give myself peace and self-conviction. 

One year later, as a process of healing from a broken self and broken heart, I went into yet another major decision to design a home in the middle of the year (2023) and commenced the construction process six weeks before the year end. The contractor drew a contract that suggested that it would take up to seven months from the day the contract commenced to complete it. I kept telling myself that I would see through to the end of the process. There are moment in between these period where I felt lost, alone, being questioned and questioning my own decisions and why instead of living happily in the heart of the city with a yard stick of travel, I went out of town, out of the reachability of things and poured all my saving to build this place I called Home of NiSai aka "Pteah NiSai"

I think that one cannot underestimate what a place is doing to your soul and your well-being. Many people around me, friends and non-friends (the term I borrowed from the former PM) asked all sort of questions, from how much money I borrowed from the bank, to who will be living with? Whether I am afraid to be alone or why did I build the house there. What can you commence to explain? When you seek freedom and comfort in life how could such question be ones?

Apart from the Green Doors, The grass also provide greenery view. 

Such a peaceful moment.

The house, completed 2 weeks before the contract deadline welcomes me and my family to it. We held an intimate house-warming ceremony with my extended family and few close friends. Indeed, the smaller, the better a celebration. 

This spot in the dining area is probably where I sat the most, 

doing computer and work meeting and enjoying my dinner with friends and family!

At the end of a long day at work, it is nice to return to a place we can call home, tendering the garden or water the plant and enjoy a glass of beer or wine. It is never too late to start planning, and dreaming and follow up to ensure the dream are translated into action, one that will eventually put a big smile on your face. With Love from #PteahNiSai
