Yah, agreed that pricing is ok compared to SG. Reason why got from SG is because here don't have much choice for fan with light kit. But after this unpleasant incident, would rather have no choice than to go through the hassle and of bringing the items back to SG and the frustration of explaining the faults.

A local lighting shop told me that they will modify their product from China to suit local use.
Some concerns of long-term oversupply are beginning to emerge .....

Similar to Singaporeans, the locals salaries have simply not caught up with housing prices. That said, one can't go wrong if you buy for home stay, esp if the location is near the big malls like Jusco, Giant etc. I am quite interested in JB waterfront as I foresee a price rise when the MRT is completed. That said, I am rather wary of the actual implementation. Will see how things pan out first over the next 12 months....
The problem with JB is there are not many restaurants for romantic occasions. I can only think of Gianni, Chez Papa, Eight Lido, George & Dragons... It will take quite a while before we see the atas restaurants emerging in JB.......
Yah, my wife's relative from KL did mention there's no need to buy foreign brand aircons since not using split systems anyway. There can have system one all over the place why bother with split systems. I picked the most expensive System-4 for my SG place when renovating it, and it's absolute shit anyway.
Of course contractor I was speaking to 'recommended' Daikin and will quote accordingly. Quote only so never mind lah, let him quote aircons made of gold if he wants. First contractor hasn't come back to me with a quotation in one week, so I won't use him. He didn't look comfortable with our requirements and we also not comfortable with using him. So much for a personal recommendation! Saw second contractor two days ago who I know has done a few units in HH, waiting for his quotation now.
Agreed as single units are pretty reliable too. I used BH Aircon as well as the electric shop located on level one in Perling Mall. So far no problems with the aircons for all the houses.
I have to agree, some of my learned neighbours say the same thing about them.
One of them has a unit at Casa Almyra and took a long time to sort things out for him. One thing though, they did do in the end what they promised after he threatened legal action. Additionally, they also did built the extra road to lead to outside so it has helped that property considerably as the residents no longer have to pass through other houses to get there.
Danga Island doesn't seem to have much going on though.

Nice car, i got myself a diesel one as well recently, so far so good as its CR and is a turbo diesel. Drives like a petrol car.
Teck, i know that you plan to expand the 2 bed rooms by removing the aircon ledge, i am thinking of doing the same too (when the house is ready), so where are u going to install your aircon? are u not using split unit aircon?
P/S: sorry, after reading your post again seems like you will be using single unit aircon, how's single vs split unit? i always thought split unit is better....? coz the single ones are old model?

Thanks, really busy, got very sick and then so many things happened recently, really was out of action.
Most of the aircon units you will see people using in MY are all single unit aircons and each has its own
compressor mounted externall. Some find it ugly and put in additional costs to group all the compressor
units together.

Hi LGLab, sorry for the late reply. You just need to go through a maid agency, there are better regulations on them these days. Just ask your neighbours who has one. Its not complicated, getting Indonesian ones was for a while but its better now. I am glad to hear about the MACS. It does take a while but will come eventually.
Hi Perfectcircle, so sorry to hear about your circumstances, getting your own lawyer is a better case and you are well within your rights to get a new bank which gives you a better rate. I will still stay away from that bank she introduced you to, actually even the current bank you are using too.
I agree with HH that their team is very laid back but probably my experience wasn't so bad.
Whats the latest with the deal? Did it conclude to your satisfaction? Valuation report yes, you do need to, your lawyer would be best to advise in the for the SPA, bank documents wise, they will always protect themselves. Things and sometimes circumstances changes for a seller so sometimes things happens. The best situation would be to talk to the seller directly (and nicely) and then things will be sorted out easily.
Sometimes its not a matter of fairness as in the end you just want to get the house you want. Letting the wrong people know that you are in dire straits does not help in any negotiations especially when it appears you are too eager to close the deal. If this deal has not completed, you can consider renting a place in HH or other developments first and then buy later.
I find that its easier to use the soft way rather than the hard way here(but of course, always be ready and prepared to go the hard way if need be)
Always work with your own lawyer where possible, document all requests as well as statements, send not email but actual letters if you decide litigation is the best route.
Don't let this bad incident put you off, i wish the best for you. Bon chance!

Space is a constraint in high rise living, you usually have place to mount only one multi-split system compressor unit. The con is that if it fails, you will be without air-conditioning for the whole condo/apartment. That's why Malaysians living in landed properties can afford to fix/mount multiple compressor units. If one fails just replace that unit.
Yes, I always use Woodland Checkpoint. Very much convenience for me since I stayed close to woodland.
for some units, I agree it should finish within next 2-3 months, but overall, I dont think it is possible. there are still many units well far behind. The guy in sale office told me that some unit should be done in April. If I am not, the sales guy is called Mr Ng. he is based in KSL office near Bestmart.
Just heard that the Marlborough college is quite oversuscribed and had to resort to balloting for places.
Also heard that the main breakdown is 80/20 where 20% is from the locals. Was quite surprised when told
by their primary choice for rental location was but i shall digress.
Thanks for the info/update bro, do you know what was the intake for the entire school?
