Hello all
Moving here was easy, buying a house was easy, in fact a lot of it was easy but there are difficult parts.
Language - yep we don't speak Malay or Chinese so that is challenging, especially when you really want to get something or make it happen, but that is the challenge of living somewhere new.
Quality of building work - so far it has been a real headache, workers don't turn up, don't work properly (long breaks) and the quality is not good. Somehow I believe that good work, good quality in a timely manner is possible but to achieve this somewhere we need to be able to tell of good and bad experiences with different contractors - a method of accountability ?? Great plant people at 1º 29' 27.89", 103º 39' 36.03" and ask for Jos Hua.
Finding stuff: this is seriously hard sometimes. If you search the web then there you will find only a small handful of companies that have bothered to list themselves and what they do. I have been trying to find a timber merchant as I want to make some things and I still haven't succeeded - CAN ANYONE HELP
Anybody got an idea of a sensible place to start a practical forum for new residents in Nusajaya.
Thanks all
Welcome.
You'll find this is a good website with quite a few helpful guys around. This website is as good as any to start a forum for new residents to Nusajaya. There's already a couple of helpful pointers from Money changers to getting new tyres for your car. I believe in an earlier post there's even a mention of a gardener. Just ask and wait for a reply........ Most everyone here is quite helpful
AP: theoretically 2011 4Q but dilly dally a bit as per history then 2012 just like the highway to desaru. coastal highway going to nusajaya JB corp pet project. Dun think they'll dissuade people to go there.
well, if your heart really slant towards your ST property then tow your whole family in if you have to! I would! haha. They must also really like the place I guess?
bus arrangement is not difficult in a sense, woodland's schools are very well connected (last time there was mickey mouse and superman line of buses each with 20 over buses!
) Some of my primary school friends when on to schools along bukit timah. Also not a problem 'cept waking earlier. Beyond that, I hear about chartering bus for the whole taman specifically. Perhaps ask Cathy? m sure there are more than a few doing the daily commute. I always see SG plate cars coming down from NSH loop at pandan. btw I think that might be a place you want to try to look for a wet market?As for me I'm doing tertiary level dun worry sharing info only. I have students who commute across, they're much more responsible, polite with can-do can-learn attitude. Am very impressed. We got one of them a job offer even before he graduate. Local kids also have that although used sparingly and very picky. Btw am not keen to provide tuition!! I had 2 boys do PSLE prep a few years ago and after they have got their places and 'graduated', I tell myself never again!
Developing the line further, sometimes tuition may not be the best option can be counter productive making them detest the subject further. If I have kids I'd rather let them choose enrichment courses which they like to develop depth and psychological maturity and a more positive attitude towards learning and force the schools to buck up and do what they should be doing!Hello all

Yeh, that's where the fun (or not depending) begins. I also have this same problem as I am planning to have interior design and reno works in the year to come once the keys handover is officiated. My take is to search blogs about people's reno process. I came across this blog who talked about good work done by a contractor located at bukit indah perhaps you can try. Type setia eco gardens johor renovation on google. Btw not related to them at all just point a direction you can take since I spend countless hours on the web looking for such info. Anywayz, even if you can find a website, I found out they copy each other in design and content and use really bad English back to square one...
My house at ST comes with free kitchen cabinets. This is the company that does the cabinet work for ST. The interior designer lady I find her very experienced. She can suggest to me where to put what and and where to put switches and lightings. I got her to introduce me the electricity and the ceiling. The price were reasonable too. If you need I can give you her handphone. Just PM me.
PS: I do not have anything to gain from this. Just helping out.

Yeah. Its their culture. Owners will wait a long long time for other owner to finish their reno. Then visit each other to copy designs. Most of the time its the owner wanting certain design. Just last week, my neighbour wanted to come into my house to see our reno. Can you imagine I have gotten my keys since April last year? Too bad my reno was still not finished.
Yeah i cant imagine the kids having to spend a whole day outside with lengthy travelling just cause of my selfish interest of wanting to stay in JB.
Hey hey hey...

Forum? Here is the place.
I just hope they will be careful with my tv and PS3... Its really hard to prove they damaged it during moving and they may not admit also...
Hope the items gets there safely....
Celcom is the only one that does not have to pay deposit for foreigner right? They also say no contract and no termination..... Maxis need to pay 300rm deposit...
that's a good half a year & more! is there any time clause on reno contract where the contractor has to finish otherwise they pay compensation or something? hmmm I really got to choose wisely. I have half the mind to ask for ID services from SG...No problem, glad to help out. Wuqi ( pointed the way ) and a couple of you guys restored the faith. Used to, to both BUT not anymore. By the by, it's the Church of the Immaculate Conception....... your not far off.....
Hmmm... other than the ID guy i reckon the people who do the job would be local... from my recollection in my 2 renovation experiences in SG, one of which involved an ID guy... the people on the ground doing the job were all from JB.
Also contractual terms mean very little in JB given the bureaucracy. These are some of the things you need to bear with here, but it can be minimised by using someone referred. There are decent people out there. When you find one please recommend to me in 2 years time :-p
ID services from Spore will stick to time but will cost you a helluva lot more dude.
I did something that i usually dun do. Went to JB just to top up petrol and returned using the Causeway.
Silly right.
But was fun.
To each his own.
