    Sorry about my ramblings so to put it in a concise manner: 1. Don't stay more than 2 weeks at a time. Cross often and try to go in during the day and come back after the night, best is after 23:59 hours or to be absolutely safe, 1-2am in the morning. (i had experience where at 12.30am, they were...

    What do you think of this custom made box used to store rolex watches?

    Reminds me of when i sold off my GMT2 collection. All in their boxes and NTUC plastic bags when meeting the buyer.

    What do you think of this custom made box used to store rolex watches?

    If just for keeping, i would rather keep in one with a display case or winds the watch for you. Keeping in safe is bad, all the papers and box will have mold marks on them. Plus constant keeping in one location means the watch isn't well lubricated which means problems when starting up after...

    What do you think of this custom made box used to store rolex watches?

    Box is really nice and ornate but i would rather buy those which can help to wind the watch. Counter/Anti-counter clockwise for rolex watches.

    SAF veteran Col John Morrice Dies.

    They had to neuter him by making him a commissioned officer as he was very "dedicated". He retired as a Captain i believe. He served in 1st Tpt Bn at one point and opened a security firm when he retired. He was one of those who volunteered repeatedly to be in the army to serve and serve he did.

    Dear all, nowadays there seem to be regular police stops especially around Nusa Bestari, Perling and even outside Horizon Hills. While it is good for security, there are still some points to look out for. If you are foreigner and driving, please bring your passport along with you with your...

    Then in June, the things happening in Malaysia didn't help much when my wife and myself were separated at the Tanjung Kupang checkpoint, they refused to let her in as she had stayed more than 3 weeks. We endured one of the worst nightmare one night when they stopped her and asked her to go back...

    Can you offer some sound advice / alternative for my latest posting? The immigration officers are making things rather difficult for Singaporeans nowadays staying long term in Johor. Are there any "safer" alternatives when going back to Johor for safer smoother passage? thanks. "Can i have some...

    Babi is going to be very expensive for a while

    My 2 cents worth, this will impact not just pork prices but general overall prices of meat within Asia and the spillover effect will mean substitute meat products pricing being impacted as well. This may be a good or bad thing but i hope it passes like all things in life. Life is already hard...

    Agree, fortunately we know where to go. Just deeper in, example we go to Pontian to buy pet stuff and other groceries. Else for a lot of items, can get very reasonably at the ECO shops.

    Alternative route - Transport via ferry (this is to Desaru area though), the plans for the Kong Kong ferry never materialized unfortunately. Source: https://www.singasurf.com/single-post/2017/02/11/Surf-Desaru-On-A-Day-Trip-Without-A-Car

    These are mainly during school holidays or public holidays but 8 hours is really ridiculous. I would either travel by train or ferry (Changi - Tanjung Belungkor in 45 mins and then drive/cab back) if urgent travel is required during festive or school holiday season or travel during off peak...

    Agree sir. For all who are new to JB and reading this, if this doesn't become a viable place then sell and look elsewhere, important thing is not to give up trying. If JB is not for you, then maybe other countries. Don't give up trying. I have shared what i did initially, get hotel rooms...

    Do you take train/bus/drive through? I joined quite a few carpools, took cabs, trains and go in and out so far never had such issues. Nor my wife or children as well. I will ask them though and will update here if this really becomes an issue.
