Great! Shall go there this evening. Thanks investor!
i'm interested to know as well
Hi lastresort, looks like you are ready to do postgraduate
Good thought processes. Maybe you can make some money as an investment analyst/banker.
My take is Temasek needs to invest in Medini. That Najib came along and executed the deal only catalyses it (as signing was long ago). Capitaland and Keppel Land have seen the success of Taman Sutera and would have been test cases for Temasek years ago and confirms their vision. Vision of many retirees retiring in JB. There is a need for housing for Singapore senior citizens with good quality of life and Nusajaya presents just that. Thus Wellness Village is a natural concept for Temasek to start in Nusajaya. Singapore will become a hub for multi-cultural-high-income-generating-young-workforce. That is why property prices in Singapore have started to climb to a upper long term new base and why Iskandar esp Nusajaya (a greenfield site) will follow suit. We all betting on that with investments both sides. The logic is inescapable.
=) Hi Investor Bro, you're definitely a young investor and already have at least 3 landed properties (I can assume from your earlier post)! I believe you're happily married and have at least a property in Singapore. I'm so impressed by what you have achieved (sorry I have exposed you a little).
Even my part time ex colleagues who are around 34 are still queuing for BTO government flats. They are average Singaporeans, so I guess our generation and future generations of Singaporeans are not doing so well.
Hi HH Lover,
Thanks, no issues, please use it my learned friend.
Yes, folks have been telling me about it so now its indeed coming true.
Haha just found out that our friend Lemans2011 also started his blog 'Across the Straits' just 10 days ago.
Can I have your permission to share the link here?
Haha that is just testing... seems to get a lot of error messages... might try Wordpress which a learned friend recommend to me (sorry Wuqi this phrase is so nice to use) but have not got chance to try that yet... its really a nice way to keep your life diary
For those who wants a Singapore number while overseas, this is the best I can recommend.
However, if you are looking for a more comprehensive VoIP provider, try pennytel.com.
They can provide you with a number in Australia, and Malaysia.
Calling Malaysia, China, USA, etc is as low as A$0.08/call (depending on your plan).
I was one of their pioneer users and having the above service with no monthly fee.
As I make alot of calls to China... it saves me a whole load.
bro, I understand.
Just that pfingo is useful mainly to users who wants a Singapore number, for those who wants to call overseas, pfingo is not cheap (unless pfingo to pfingo), thats why I was recommending pennytel for this group of people.
for those with internet at home (in Malaysia), I suggest the following:
1. get yourself a Basic account at pfingo.com which gives you a Singapore number (this is about $2/mth)
2. buy a Siemens VoIP DECT phone (a cheap one is less than $200 now) and install in Malaysia
3. register the pfingo account to your DECT phone
4. Forward your mobile number to the pfingo number (charged at your local Singapore calling rate)
When people call your Singapore number, your DECT phone will ring. (this basically works anywhere in the world)
*note, you will have to pay for your data charges in Malaysia, unless it is unlimited.
DECT coverage is pretty good usually, so big house also no issue (unless 3 story kind of building).
No worry about booster amplifying the signal power (which I dun like too)
i hope nobody here got trapped in the huge jam. I was coming in just from sg to jb via causeway, jam all the way on the opposite. Stretched all the way to taman sentosa! at this hour!
This is pretty good.
3) got the pfingo client installed on my Ipad2 n my galaxy tablet with wifi n 3g
5) one prob i face with pfingo is tht it does not push the call to u unlike skype.
6) the software for pfingo is also not user friendly pretty rudimentary. Skype software better in tht sense.
7)
Message to Mr Grifter, these folks are coming to MY not because they are damn bloody rich but some of them have personal issues in SG and need a place to just rest their tired and weary feet.
As some of the bros(and a sister) has rightly pointed out, most of us are not superstars, we can only afford public projects/flats in SG and we are just dwarfs in the entire scheme of things.
Please, i humbly implore you, (you know who you are) pick your mark from elsewhere, please.
Hi Xiaoyjia, welcome to the forum! and thanks Investor.
We went there last Wednesday morning, reached the sales office late at 9 am, the ballot was done at 8 am for those units that have more contenders. Then there was drama and unhappiness for those who could not get their unit, the management had a close door meeting and decided to reopen one of the units at 11.30 am and from my understanding, whoever's cheque that could be banked in successfully would get the unit.
From what i heard last weekend, those units above 3rd floor facing golf are sold out (except for a few bumi units or those below 500K). From my own estimation, South Tower should be close to 40% sold by now. But those that could not get the units they want would either continue to wait to see if there is any that will become available due to loan rejection, last min cancellation or just get the units left that do not have golf view.
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..
Visited Mydin today... looks pretty much like Giant. I guess it is good that EL residents have a supermarket at their doorstep now. At the same time i am hoping these unwanted crowd will stop coming here to jam up the place when the freebies are no longer available. The crowd that Mydin has drawn in the last 2 days are not the right type of crowd, i'm afraid. They should just open a Jasons here. I saw one Indian man with 4 cans of free drinks in his 2 hands.
