THank you very much toyohon!
Must tell your son the car only valid for 10 years, not long enough to pass to him..
Kids today are not easy to bluff. His friend told him can renew for another 10years. He ask hubby to renew for him and buy himself a new car.
Even the whole process of selection, buying, renting, etc...The kids are watching. Now he can tell us he will first buy a HDB to rent out first. So those who have children, better be careful of what you do. Children are your mirror. They learned fast. With the right mindset that you instill into them when they are young, what you do now, they will duplicate it faster then you do now.
Wuqi, will you kindly share with us what kind of devices keeps the mosquitoes away? Best if with a photo.
Thanks in advance for the tip.
Yeah. And we guai guai listen to him. Come here and 'chop' place early to avoid the crowd. LOL!
Seriously, its a good idea wat! Actually no need to wait until we are old to come here. Don't understand why some people got so mad about the suggestion.
Professor, no mosquitos for us yesterday night. Aircon does the trick. Closed all the windows including the toilet ones.
If you work in JB, try getting a terrace house in JB and you will find the same problem. Which is evidence by the tens of thousands of motorcycles going to Singapore to work. The same with China, HongKong, Thailand, Cambodia, and even Phillipines(I just had a chat with one of my Phillipino tenent). Its the same everywhere.
If you have to be geographically bounded, when you depend on somebody to pay you a salary, you will only be paid just enough to stay there. And its the same everywhere too. Singaporeans have gotta to learn it by now. But most did not.
With all the modern technologies like internet, airplanes, etc.....geographical location has gotten smaller. So much so that working and staying in another country is but a matter of getting used to. And if you can break this phyco barrier, I don't see why we can't acheive more in life.
See it for yourself. The place is over developed, land is scarce, saturation in every field. Even without foreigners, even if you elected a brand new government, it ia not going to help much. The only thing that will help, IMHO, is something like a Fukushima tsunami, that destroy everything, and start it from scratch. (touchwood!)
KBW is right. If you open up your heart and listen. His roots are from Malaysia. He has his views. Not far off from most of us here. Instead of hoping for superman to come to our rescue, we can do something for ourself, we can go to somewhere else and have a better quality of life!
Just my personal sharing & opinion... it's really tough if you dun start early what i meant was i remember during my school holidays, i would go look for short term jobs that can pay me some allowance but also help me top in my cpf. I remember one of my boss said this to me who actually is a Dr , i'll give you slightly lower salary but i'll bank in the cpf for you so that next time you can use it to buy house. I'm thankful of her to have such a kind tot. Yes it may not be alot but start with something small. I also fully agree with some folks here... which youngsters once grad from school receive a "fanstastic" pay package??? The usual start off pay is ard $1.6-1.8k unless you go for more tedious working hrs which may get ard 2K and more. In fact some of my classmates are still in the less than 3k salary pack, not incl bonus. I feel that houses at such cost is very very scary. No wonder many young ones stay late in offices, more medical problems, more mental problems and how to build relationships like this??? It's really very saddening. I guess this ends up more than just personal, social but indeed a national issue that we may face in such a MODERN world.
Signz....
I offered $2.4K to fresh grad for an Engineering Exec position, and he rejected saying pay too low...
There are still people thinking that pay is very high in Singapore...
Jumping in here with some little tips:
1. Get rid of ALL water collected in flower pots, pools, curved containers outside or inside; flush toilets that are not used that often. Keep an eye out for breeding places on the plants eg in heliconias & traveler's palms. Guppies do eat the eggs if not overfed.
2. Spray only Mortein, other brands may be harmful - check this out yourself.
3. Mosquito coils do work - but the price is the smoke in your lungs.
4. Same [smoke in lungs] with candles strongly infused with citronella; and citronella oil burnt with an inserted wick in a nice pot. Smells really good, of course.
5. Elder flower drink concentrate sold by Ikea works too - risk is the sugar ... sigh ... nothing is perfect!
6. There are many products like Deet that work well ... risk is chemicals on the skin.
7. Old fashioned mosquito nets, which can be very attractive and fashionable, and insect screens on doors and windows, also do a good job.
8. Yes, it is worse after rain.
I favour mosquito nets myself.
Dengue and Malaria are not that common, but they are a risk in Johor. Malaria is not common in Singapore.
It's one of the things we have all contended with for hundreds of years.

Aircon technician starts at $1400-1500. Aircon Sifu pays more then $3k. Sadly speaking, no Singaporeans want the job and so most work will have to go to those Johoreans that cross the border with a motor bike daily.

I have been quite fortunate then. No mozzies at my terrace, no roaches too!
While we wait for Wuqi to reply here is something i saw at Popular....

They claim it repells many pests. Not sure how effective it is though.
If anyone has any experience please let us know...

Got one of this device for my HH hse , it is suppose to be effective for upto 5000 sqft home and the one I bought specifically for anti-lizards (can't stand the dropping). Result: lesser population but they are still around. Conclusion : not so effective. Bought mine from DIY Singapore , about S$40. I think the anti-lizard paint more effective.

He allowed CPF (Medisave) to be used in M'sia hospitals, now that he's gone to MND, Sporeans would be able to use their CPF to buy houses in Msia! Housing problems solved with an added option just like health!
you must be living in Spore then!!
what ah??? my place in Singapore centipede also come before... :-(
Dunno man.. maybe i that is a 5rm instead..
but the couple is in mid 20s.. just ard 2 years after graduation..
key collection sometime in 2013..
Bro,
Actually its because of his comments that I started looking at JB as a viable retirement venue..
Btw.. I am one of the serfs under his GRC.. haha
hmmm.. have not kenna bitten alot during my weekly trips to inspect progress of renovation.. hope this is similar after renovation..
Actually I read in the Edge magazine sometime back where they compare land prices in asia pacific.. malaysia turns out to be cheaper than phillipines..
So it really works well for us who takes less than 2 hrs to reach JB home..
Actually my colleague confirmed that his new place in outskirt manila dun cost much cheaper than JB terrace..
