Yeah... I am worried cause .... Eg i try to drill a hole in the wall.... End up plaster fall of.... More headache right?

Thats why.... i try to avoid it....

I remember during my house reno in Spore.... the interior decoration company guys accidentally drilled a hole into the water pipes.....

result lots of water in my living room (i had not moved in yet)

Now if something like this happens when I DIY i will be terribly upset.

Hence i prefer to pay....

Having said that its lots of money down the drain.....

Better spent on massages, travel and the works


I understand your concerns bro. My hubby don't know how he did, make until the water tank spill water on the back lane....It was dark and we had no lights. Fortunately he managed to solve the problem, working with just a torch light by himself. Very scary then.

Tell you something, when i did my Gate lights the guy who patched it up did not do a great job and hence the plaster (compound used) peeled of in several places.

I have tried to patch it up several times to no avail.

It looks great when i finish patching it up. But within a couple of weeks its all gone and i gotta redo it again.

How irritating!!

Did you use white plaster? If you did, then you have to paint sealer as a base coat after it dried up. Followed by coloured paint. You can use a piece of wet cloth to wipe it before the plaster dry up completely to give it the smooth surface. Also, its better to use paint that covers hairline cracks. This was what I learn recently from helping my hubby out at our house in ST.

Is it true? I haven't got to go to one of these parties yet. Those that we have in Singapore always comes with either Tupperware or MLM sales pitch. Always done with a motive. Sian liao. For me....
Yes sweetie, it is happens very often.
Two things: need to get to know Johorians and other Malaysians living in Johor; make friends with like-minded Singaporeans. Genuine friendship takes time to cultivate, of course, but new friends are not hard to make. Be open, sincere and ... friendly. Malaysians are wary that we show off, are too noisy and 'rough', talk only about money, complain a lot and only criticize. Need to quietly show that we really appreciate the space, green, peace, prices and all the other good stuff. And that we have many things to talk about besides the 5 Cs left behind.
Maybe start by giving your own party first with good food partially cooked at home and wine is so much cheaper here. Have you tried toddy? 'Coconut wine' and simply wonderful.
I am not a karaoke fan and prefer real music - but people are shy and find karaoke when others join in less intimidating.
Start small, it grows.
Meet at Kip Mart for tea and mee rebus; Habib's for a prata [roti cenai], ... whatever.

Yes i used the white plaster (got it from TESCO/Giant cant remember). They said it could seal all types of cracks.

So i pasted it. Ofcourse the finish was not smooth at all just as you wisely mentioned.

And i never knew that i had to put a sealant on top.

Now you know how much i know about DIY right?

Even fixing up screws and nuts is a pain to me so much so that my jetsetter wife does it for me!!!

Some people are naturally good at one thing. Others are good at another. Don't despair. But its good to learn to fix minor minor things around the house. Especially such a big one. Will definately save a lot. Go slow lah...learn on the job lor, have a bit of patience. You don't have to be perfect all the time you know? If my hubby mess up things around the house I will just smile, then find ways to advise him, searchings from the internet. :biggrin:

I love toddy.... I drank it once with my dad many moons ago in Goa.... the real fresh one..... i drank it as a kid and love the taste to this day.

I have not been able to get toddy ever since.

I tried in Cambodia but it was too sour for my liking.

Recently my maid helped me secure fresh toddy in Bali.

I enjoyed it thoroughly.

So where and how do i get toddy in Johor?

Who drinks the toddy usually?

Yes sweetie, it is happens very often.

1) I admit i have noticed too that wine is cheaper in Johor. Why? And there is a pretty good selection as well.

2) Talking about real music.... yes i like real music too. Hence i mentioned i prefer the Bistro at Taman Molek O Rielly's.

The girl sings pretty well. I repeat again.... their group can give the ones who sing at Long Bar, Raffles a good run for their money....

3) Im no good at Karaoke. Though i dun mind if good singers can sing for my listening pleasure:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:.... On that note my wife sings very well at the karaoke sessions.

4) My wife and I enjoy spending time together. We hit the pubs often (not the disco variety not my cup of tea. I cant shake a leg. She can)

Dear learned forumers I am new here even though I have been following the thread for a year as visitor and am amazed at the camarederie of this group. Keep it up!

I have a question and sincerely hope any of you could assist me with an answer. If I have booked a house from the developer and paid the 1k deposit, can I revert my decision not to proceed with the purchase? Any costs hidden or otherwise involved?

this need to clarify with developer. Most will charge admin fee in the high teens to hundreds. kind ones will withhold (e.g. cheque) for you and return you in full if reason is valid e.g. loan not approved.

dessert wines are very difficult to find. Italian collections in JB also very limited. though I have the good fortune of getting a very nice Chianti on discount in tescos a pleasant surprise. A nice grappa would set me back in hundreds one which I finally found in Jusco permas.

Professor, glad to hear that you have decided to give yourself another chance. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder. :smile:

Let's learn together lah. Can ask my hubby if you have any problem. He did the embedded wirings himself so I saw what he did and is able to tell you. I'm not the one who did it but I very kaypoh always ask him why he did this why he did that. :biggrin:

Oh yes. Before I forget, I saw my hubby using grey coloured cement on outdoor walls. Perhaps white coloured cement is for indoor. I'll ask my hubby again later.

Under your wings i learn.

Now that you have trained me im gonna try patching up the gate light wiring cracks one more time.

Agree with you... The way i looked at it was.... if i compared my Fairprice/Cold Storage/Shop n Save i think Jusco does a great job at wines..

In that sense Tesco/Jusco are far superior you would agree right?

My apologies if i am wrong there.

they're not bad for the common reds and whites and strong liqueur (surprisingly). though i lament the lack of specialty wine cellars that'll bring in rarer items like limoncello, grappa, vin santo etc.

Talking about liquor... I think the local liquor is terrible right? Pardon me if i am wrong?

Ofcourse the imported brands like JW, Chivas, Martell etc are expensive with exorbitant taxes?

Correct me if i am wrong again please..

Hi all,

I have a close friend who, somewhat unfortunately, decided too late (after the RM500k hike) to buy a property in JB. I understand that the amount set is a State guide but this friend of mine is really keen to get something within his budget of 350 - 380k thereabouts. I wonder anyone can share or got advise from lawyers whether it is possible for foreigners to get State consent to buy such lower-priced property?

Thank you euphony for posting my query and answer them. I asked because my missus have 2nd thoughts and may not want to proceed eventually eventho we have put in 1k deposit last Sunday. We put in 1k deposit for a lot with uem but I have yet to furnish them with my other documents like my payslip etc.
Qn: Can i back out within the 14 day period? We may still proceed in the end though because honestly we like the place. Just want to know what is our rights in this instance. Thank you in advance for any helpful reply.
