Living in JB

[wuqi256]

By the way guys, saw a couple of shops at the Nusa Idaman area, near to the bridge which will bring one over to the new hospital.
They sell bricks as well as roof tiles and even cement on top of normal DIY stuff. Coincidentally, one of the shops there is also called
DIY.

There is a new DIY store, Mr DIY based on the 2nd floor just outside Tesco which is a nice place to buy lots of stuff you otherwise have trouble finding in Johore.

Bro its gonna be really tiring.....

I agree the nicest feeling is a nice warm (hot) shower, lovely bed + aircon and the covers as well... so u can snuggle inside...

The cleaning is tiring especially if you are not staying there all the time....

Better do a workaround (arrangement ) with your maid....

Just back from JB.. Decided to stay over for house cleaning

Scheduled delivery of bed, electrical stuff & some furniture on 30/7.. so went in & clean up..
One of the best feeling is after a tired day of cleaning, there is a hot shower & nice comfy bed with air con..

Not exactly superstitious, but avoided the start of 7 month in chinese calender..

 

[Analytical Professor]

Cold beer bro....

Yeah they have almost all types of massage + clean services out there.

Now what i heard from my friend is that if you get a massage from Chinese fingerpress is the best.... So you can request for that at the counter....

And save on the aroma oil topup...

BTW im ur massage kaki bro....

Having a fridge of cold drink helps as well..

Guys, does the Eminent Reflexology offer general body massage as well?
Thinking of the aches next week..

Lets say the US defaults.... then the crisis within the US will spiral out of control and surely the chain will link to Singapore apart from the other bigger Asian economies.... What next ? A crash for sure....

But surely Singapore will recover faster than anyone else.... So spore prices will continue to head north after the next slide....

But other countries/locations? Not so sure.... if they will recover and get u your returns....

Anyone think that property prices in Singapore will actually goes downhill? All opinions welcome!

 

[Analytical Professor]

Here here....

Sorry eh.... really cant juggle.....

I really admire Wuqi for juggling so well....

But i just cant seem to do it....

Btw, where is the Professor?

 

[Analytical Professor]

What's the price range in terms of 'per sq ft' for this condo inside HH?
What about the one with roughly the same name Horizon xxxxxxx at Bukit Indah?
'Per sq ft' price for the condo at Puteri Harbour ranges from RM5xx psf to RM800 psf.

Hi Investor
Is Puteri Harbour "Imperia" launched and is that the price range?

Cathy if you are cooking please invite me.....


Its the texture you want. If you just wanna have a simple sauce, then corn flour or potatos starch give the same texture. But then it will become watery after certain amount of time. If you want a thicker texture and last for the whole day, like for example you wanna cook 'tao suan'(mung bean), then tapioca flour is better.

Hope it helps you. [/QUOTE]

I see , great ..[/QUOTE]

 

[Analytical Professor]

Similar thinking

Now why does anyone give the US first world Status i dun understand? Anyone care enlighten me?

Crisis after crisis..... and then they pull the whole world down with them...

Anyway if US self destructs, we are all in trouble together. So lets enjoy life and make the strong SGD go further in JB

 

[Analytical Professor]

Please enlighten why the worst hit?

Are we heavily invested into the US Treasuries and Bonds?

I thought that the main aid giver to the US was China??

. Secondly, market correction and according to todays ST, Singapore will be one of the worst-hit nations when we have to pick up after the US situation.

Singapore fund chief upbeat on U.S. economy-WSJ

NEW YORK, March 6 (Reuters) – The head of Singapore’s
sovereign wealth fund, which has more than one-third of its
holdings in the United States, says Americans are being too
downbeat about the U.S. economy, according to an interview with
the Wall Street Journal.

Tony Tan Keng Yam, executive director of the Government of
Singapore Investment Corp, said, Americans “don’t see the
potential in their own economy, which is one of the most
innovative, open economies in the world,” according to the
article.

Tan said he expected the U.S. economy would grow at a rate
of between 4 percent and 4.5 percent. A Reuters poll of almost
70 economists released in February suggests U.S. gross domestic
product will rise 3.2 percent on an annualized basis in 2011."

Hi wuqi, any idea why there are many empty units in Gateway? My wife and I are looking to buy a unit there instead of renting; is RM460k a good price for an intermediate unit at Jalan Ambang 4/2? Measurement is 20x70; the agent doesn't know the build-up. Care to share your opinion on this? Thanks.

Hi Investor

Hi Serenity,
I'm not sure whether or not it has been launched but they called my friend for some kinda preview or something. The price of a studio worked out to be almost RM800 psf!!! The price of another big unit worked out to be RM550 psf! That was what I heard from my friend. Completion is 2015 if I remember correctly.

 

[Analytical Professor]

Dun be too harsh on yourself bro....

Body will surely get used to it...

But considering the teeny weeny flats we live in.... i guess its gonna take a while hence.... better get help....

Ok those were Dr. TTs views prior to the current crisis....

Is it gonna be a default by the US or a downgrade of their credit rating?

More likely the latter.... which means the turmoil may not be as bad as a default.... <<Thats the enlightened STs opinion>>

1/3rd of their holdings invested in the US? Wow.... i think he should look at India/China/Brazil instead....

If we are overly exposed to US holdings.... a sneeze in the US may not be just a minor flu.... Could be SARS all over again...

Wuqi why so humble?

So many properties?

Humility reaches new highs with you

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.

Are you referring to the condo project directly across the road from the proposed Traders Hotel?
If that one, apparently fully sold or advance booked.
Indeed the condo prices are much higher here than other projects in Nusajaya.
In the masterplan for Puteri Harbor area, there are several other "iconic" buildings planned but honestly, I'm more than abit sceptical...

I think there's only one so far and it's called Imperia as mentioned by Serenity.
Not sure whether or not it has been fully booked because I've only been looking at landed for investment so far.
