thanks guys for the bday wishes. I will definitely work hard towards my dream.
^^ whoah, educity is becoming really successful. Too bad I am not born a few years later, if not I would definitely consider the universities there. I really hope this Reading Business School will be confirmed and finalised.
I will be entering a local uni next month and this means I may not have time to visit HH homes regularly . I'm turning 23 tomorrow, and I feel quite old for school.
I've been spending my time learning about property investment from Bros, Sis, uncles and aunties everywhere I go in JB. One thing, I've been very impressed with many Malaysians is that they come out to work at a very early age, working really hard and able to afford homes at a young age. Like one guy who was jogging in Gateway and came to our doorstep to chat with us. He told us he is only around 30 and has bought 10 properties! and the properties he bought are all above 500K, one of which is the famous parkview apartment in KLCC.
Seriously, now starting school again, I feel I have lost touch with people (Singaporeans) my age. I do not know how to communicate well with them because i have been spending time with people more than twice my age. I do not know who are the latest TV stars, movie stars, girl groups, singers and all. I do not club or drink, play computer games or watch tv dramas. I'm using an old 3-5 year old phone, I have no MP3, and do not shop for clothes. New friends might see me as an old outdated thrifty guy who likes to talk about stocks and shares.
Next week I will be going KL on my own to meet 2 KL friends, one who is just a year older than me and has his own property. I will be visiting new launches, checking out properties with him and exploring the place on my own. I'm also very interested to check out properties built/owned by Singapore developers, they are very accommodating and have invited me to stay with them, and drive me around.
My second bro is also in the midst of signing his first home in HH, after getting his first private home in SG last year, these people including bros wuqi, HH, and sisters are all my role models.
Very few like you in Singapore liao ! I tried to change the mindset of my kids so that they are not so obsess with the social media , computer games , TVs . Getting them to venture into the wild and nature seem a uphill task for the new kids leh ! My kids will most likely become another comercial products made in Singapore .... sad for them .
Sama sama, but I haven't given up to encourage the kid to go outdoor and enjoy the basic side of humanity..
Hey XiaoDi Lastresort....
Happy B Day!!!
Wow seriously enjoy urself while in KL! I already full of envy that you have the chance to learn and experience something ahead of you. It's alright that you may think it something not of your age... such chances are not always.. i'm sure you cherish this learning journey. i also happened to meet nice friends along the way that shares with me such wisdom. Just yet to meet a mentor....
U are indeed a lucky chap and enjoy your uni times... i had to work and study at the same time... glad it's a past... but i've always so wanted to pursue further studies... but now having bought a place in JB... i'm so interested to venture into something else a training place which may not be awfully just for business, sharing knowledge with the future generation or an eatery where good food can be shared, cozy place for families to eat out ... guess in our life time, we are continuously moving towards dreams we have in our mind. Time & place is really a matter... wish all the folks here... a healthy and happy Thursday... (weekend is near... ) Hee hee... Cheers!
Many of them buy, but they do it for investments. They dont stay inside HH. There are definitely no superstars staying in HH at the moment.. at most directors or CEOs driving mercs or BMWs etc, which is quite normal even in Spore. But if u are talking about Sultan or MB, no they dont stay here although they own properties here. Enjoy your school
Hey Lastresort, Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Hi HH, how do you arrive at your conclusion for superstar? As in networth or status or judging by the car they drive?
Am definitely not one as i am still just a salaried worker and getting monthly pay and its definitely not 100k a month but there are quite a few folks who are "quite" comfortable.

JOHOR BARU: The crime index in Johor recorded a 20.69% drop last year compared to the previous year.
Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the achievement was equivalent to a reduction of 5,381 cases due to the commitment of all personnel involved and the police intelligence gathering method.
Commendable: Mohd Mokhtar (right) presenting appreciation letters to police personnel during the monthly gathering at the state police headquarters recently.
“We managed to lower the crime index because of the commitment shown by all as well as good cooperation from the public.
“Members of the public are the eyes and ears of the police and I firmly believe the best weapon to curb crime is police and public cooperation,” he said in his speech before presenting appreciation letters to 107 outstanding personnel during the monthly gathering at the police headquarters on Wednesday.
He said the police scored huge success particularly in curbing street crimes as well.
DCP Mohd Mokhtar said the police also clamped down hard on drug dealers and kingpins with 133 nabbed under the Special Preventive Act, last year.
“We are firm in combating drug abuse and trafficking in the state.
“Drug addicts and the dealers are not welcomed in Johor,” he said adding that police would continue its efforts against drug syndicates.
He said the Ah Long or loan sharks were also not spared with 80 of them nabbed throughout last year.
“We will not tolerate their illegal business or heavy handed tactics in dealing with their borrowers.
“I also advice the people not to resort to borrowing from the loan sharks and be mindful of their spending,” he said.
DCP Mohd Mokhtar reminded all personnel not to rest on their laurels in view of the police success last year.
“We have to increase our efforts and erase the fear of crime among the public.
“Crime prevention efforts as well as community oriented policing must be improved upon to ensure its effectiveness,” he said.
He added members of the public must always remember to call the police hotline at 07-2212999 for any enquiries or emergencies especially incidents of crime.
good day all,
what is the best way to transfer sgd funds from sg to malaysia ?
Bank - highest charge ?
Money Changer - lowest charge ?
INternet - how ?
Is there still a limit on amount per transfer ?
I understand from sg money changer,
"from sgd to myr-non Malaysian account holder: maximum limit of approx. S$9k"
but for
"from sgd to myr-malaysian company" - there is no limit
I have a maybank "Wadiah" savings a/c, and this being Ialamic, interest rates are not quoted - but declared at the end of every year,..

In the last 1 year i had 2 incidences... plus a lot more i hear from people i meet. Even the inspector at the Nusajaya headoffice told me to be careful as crime is on the rise.
