So sorry to hear this. Hope you and your family are better now. Hearing such stories always make me so jittery.

Anyone knows part time helpers that work around the Nusa Idaman area? Can you share the numbers? Thank you. I know Wuqi shared them some time ago but no matter how I dig the threads I can no longer find them.

Re: How many beer or liquor can I buy from the Duty Free - The Zon? Can buy as many cheap beers as you want but you have to finish them within the zone. Cannot bring back out. At least that's the idea since they place a guard to check your car as you exit. Just like at customs, it's heng suay...

Re: electrical I want to design & renovate my own home and those are pretty much my mental steps as well. But it will be great if someone who has actually done up their house tell us if these steps are feasible . My differences from your steps will be - after step 1 ( hacking) to do...

Found a useful resource for those who want to design you own interior. It's a list of 10 best free virtual ID programs. Check it out if you are doing you own ID for your house. It might make things clearer when you show these layouts to your various contractors too...

Hi Wuqi, agree with the gold from UOB but why not ETFs? I though they are a safe vehicle and one of the safest ways to invest in silver is through ETFs. Perhaps you can enlighten us.

Re: Advice on Security issues (eg Security Alarm, CCTV, steel gate, auto gate) Don't you wish we have Home Depot in Nusajaya or Singapore for all our DIY projects. I can't seem to find a good enough DIY store in our region that has plywood, trims, lumber and just general DIY construction items...

I don't think our precinct have camera thought only card

It was the security guard who was alert enough to think of asking us la. When I got back last night, the security guard came out of guard post again to check if we manage to find & send the boy. It was past mid night but we asked for the house number to check on the family. Too bad they are not...

Haha it's not this is a different one. But I have seen different guards falling asleep la cos we tend to come home very late. We even woke up immigration officer at second link before (both sg & my side ). Drove up to the counter and the eyes were closed then they tried to look very awake with...

Hi Arsenal, yes we defly felt good in the end despite initial confusion. Because initially what we understood from the guard is all guesswork and the kid has walked quite far already so we didn't even see him at first. We were wondering if we understood wrongly. And you can imagine how odd this...

Funny thing happened today as we were leaving our precint to come to Sg. Our security guard at guard post asked us to stop as we were tapping card to leave and started talking in excited tones. He spoke Malay and neither of us caught what he was trying to say. When we asked him to speak english...

I brought my cats in before. It's done the way a few have described here but if you need to ask in details can always pm me. Be happy to share.

Wah, they are finally launching waterfall. My friends has been waiting for it since her first visit to HH. But 1.2mil for a terrace sound a bit crazy right. Scary almost! Went to the site for the waterfall before let, then natural waterfall is rather small. Maybe they expand and make it damn...

Battleangel, can't agree more. We must always stay vigilant because after we stay here for a few months, we start to feel comfortable and get careless. A lot of us here are looking forward to our new homes. =] It's a place filled with our hopes. Will definitely get a doggie when our place is...
