The cat thing really worked me up cause the household has so many cats. They let the cats roam free n easy a nuisance to all.
Worse one of those cats always pees in my home.
How to shoo it away n prevent it from reenterin?
I dun wanna do cat traps. A bit inhuman

Have not take notice of tin foil thingy . But do notice that in JB the roof beams are all made of wood , unlike Singapore , which are mostly steel . This is bad isnt it ? If kena termites , that's it !
As for heat issue , I find it OK as JB houses got high ceiling and tall windows . You can also add solar tints if you get direct sunlight . But I was kind of regrett it as the dark tints can make the rooms rather dark in early morning or evening. I think curtains still best and nicer too !

Bros and sis here:
Just some simple recommendations:
Get an alarm system that is vibration or IR based that will sound when someone breaks the glass if you are concerned about security in the car. Best is still never to leave anything on the front passenger seat. Most thieves know that women
(on the whole) are slightly creatures of convenience and habit. They will likely leave their bags with wallets, keys and important cards together in one convenient package for the thieves/robbers.
Autogate, get something that closes fast and is suitably secured to the ground. Of course determined thieves and robbers can still break in especially ungated/unguarded ones. At least if properly secured, it will be better as a deterrent rather than being an obvious "self pawn" arrangement where the robbers/thieves see that its easy picking. Ladies who always like to complain and dislike the ugliness of the rubber stopper on the ground, please realise that the people who installed this has your safety at heart.

Likely they inserted a figurine of some sorts inside as part of a ritual.

I changed my leather seats in one of my cars recently to a PVC one, including installation, its only 450 RM. Changed out one of my console switches for the lights and wiper assembly, 390 RM.
Then change out one of the parts in my car as it will vibrate around 110kmph but remains stable once i go beyond it(sometimes when overtaking)

Agreed, be humble here, hard to learn melayu but i am slowly picking up. I am glad you were in time.
Recently though someone said to me, You Singaporeans are an insensitive lot as you have never been overseas and thus not as sensitive to others feelings.
You should not be eating anything with pork at all, i know its hard for Singaporeans like you to understand business in MY.
He meant well i guess as we were still in the midst of preparing the biz and wanted to attract all races. Yet he didn't know that we had removed all instances of animals that may offend and even the wanton noodles were actually ordered by his wife's workers without going through us.
My wife was a bit pissed off as was i but we just kept smiling, having worked in the states, EU, Japan/Korea, maybe i am still not sensitive or experienced enough like him. Then again, i am only 34 so still need experts like him to teach me.

Had problems with the roofing recently, the inclement weather was making all the roofs leak, luckily all minor ones. The contractor we used was HH's own and we had to pay as the defect period was over. He overcharged one of my friends so i covered the excess payment for him but luckily he didn't overcharge another one. He told us we were lucky as he charged us 300 plus per house. Had to pay him $1400 in total. I asked how come, it is because every visit to fix a roof is usually 500-1000 plus.
Also, he shared with us some houses outside of HH were damaged by the heavy rain that their developers had to retile them.

Agreed Cathylmg, we need to leave our attitudes behind sometimes.
Wow bro AP, you are really civic minded. I wished more people would be like you. I am sure if that guy knows, he will be touched.
Many people though, don't look rich. Many times whenever i go with older friends and family, EVERYONE of the agents ignore me. Like totally ignoring my presence or questions.
I guess as i still look young plus i am plump, young + plump = Most people think rich man's son.
Even one time i passed by a sea of agents, none pass me their flyers, instead stuffing my dad/neighbour with flyers.
Its always easy to discount people who are young but there are people who are capable of pulling their own weight too. (Forgive the pun)
Not all plump/fat people are dumb as well. I get this a lot too as many times, those prata shops (both in SG/JB) will always shortchange me for some reason. When i asked them for the correct change, they even challenged me but in the
end had to pay me back everytime.

I don't know whether a survey has been done in Singapore but apparently Radon gas which is naturally occuring is also a contributing factor to Cancer. A decade back or so there were high incidences of cancer in certain parts of UK or in Scotland and tests were carried out and it was discovered that Radon gas which is natural occuring was most likely cause because of where the cancers were occuring. It can apparently seep into house from under the foundations of buildings ... gas being permeable.
So more buildings and therefore more piling works into the ground would probably release more gas then would be the normal cause of escape.
Life style is also another factor.... the constant stress of 'keeping up appearance' and chasing money, position and status are also factors though maybe not be conciously acknowledge ....
So I would think a laid back lifestyle i.e. not rushing around and worrying too much about 'things' may not be too bad. Mind you I said "laid back" not lazy lay abouts... those need a swift kick on the backside to let them know there are 'NO free lunches' Everyone contributes however they can, even if it's at a slower pace.
dun want to talk about this since I talk about it all the time to my students as part of their syllabus. There is a lot of scare mongering pertaining to carcinogens. It seems there are a lot of things that are. In fact they are, though this requires continuous and prolonged exposure most likely coupled with yes stress and environment and hereditary genetics. We just live as healthy as we can and as stress free as we can and moderate our food choices and intake so that our stealth machinery in the body can take care of the rest. Tending to our plants, being in good company and living our lives it JB I think its as good as it gets. =)
need precinct residents to take action especially if the cats are not neutered they will reproduce and over run the whole area...

May i know wic part of Bedok interchange the money changer is located or any money changer in bedok interchange area offer similar rate?
Got a funny situation yesterday, someones maid saw 3 renovation workers doing renovation overstaying/trying to stay overnight in one of the houses undergoing renovation, my neighbours alerted the security guards on duty as it seems these guys even went to talk to the maid.
Yesterday there were 3 separate teams of guards(some on motorbikes) with searchlights, cameras and dogs converging on that house from all directions. It looked surreal, as if a scene from my old army camp.
They didn't find anyone though so likely they may have changed their minds and left but if i was one of the workers, i would definitely not be coming back anytime soon.
From what i understand, the security is still digging through to find their identities and once identified, their contractors and the guys will be banned permanently.
