I wonder if this place is with a gated and guarded precinct?
In Singapore, my son will not want to go out with us. His mind is in the computer games. He will find all sorts of excuses not to. But in ST, if he doesn't goes out with us, he will have nothing to do except housework and homeworks.
The one at Plentong is TESCO EXTRA.
I used to visit that place from SETIA TROPIKA.
However the Pasir Gudang Hi-way is not very well maintained.
So now prefer Bukit Indah.

OicYes, I have seen similar purchases of good promo. A lady bought 4 big bags of XXL prawns on promo, definitely not for own consumption. It happens at Carrefour too, 10 trays of Eggs on promo.
Tesco has bulk purchase stores called Tesco Extra (more for small businesses to buy in bulk), but they are not in Johor.
Yeah at Tuas its "if you are stuck.... tough luck" scenario.
Yes i have been stuck many times there before and its frustrating when you just move 2 car lengths in 10 minutes.
Yes as i mentioned before Causeway in the worst of scenarios is not more than an hour.
And the traffic keeps moving....

Insurance is good business eh?
Alas we dun have the fire power or the $power to start one!
Insurance does help if carefully researched and bought.
The hordes of insurance agents do not do much to improve the image of insurance.

Can ah.
The youngest one who is in Nursery has a bit of focussing issues due to her age.
But the others are fine.
Ofcourse they have a break in between the 2 tuitions (2 different tutors). An hours break..
Today was supposed to be 4 hours. Now one of the tutors texted me that she cant make it. So only 2 hours today.
Yeah they watched the Kungu Fu Panda show at Orchard Lido.
the kids liked it.
I dun like cartoon shows la. I always fall asleep inside the hall. So i have not gone with them for these sorta shows in a long while.

Lots of cinemas in Johor.
Ofcourse safe la.
Go to the one at JB City Square. Or you could also choose the one at Tebrau Jusco.
Both are good.
Ticket prices reasonable and slightly cheaper ofcourse.
I used to go earlier before i bought my property here.
Now no time already.... la
Listening to Lobo now here at STropika

How to go Sutera mall from Woodlands check point ? I like to go there ....
I mentioned several posts ago that the Causeway will remain the primary conduit between Spore and Malaysia.
And then many forummers said that it is so cause its cheap.
But i believed because of historical significance Causeway will never lose its importance.
Going by the EDL and CH linked to CIQ its all the more pertinent to note the uniqueness and importance of Causeway.
Cheap or not! CIQ will remain the primary mode of contact between the 2 nations.
Its not satisfying to note that you pay and then get stuck at Tuas cause the manpower is concentrated at CIQ right?

Sleep is extremely crucial for a childs overall development.
Some kids do not like to sleep.
Its essential to get them to sleep even when they dun wanna sleep.
Sufficient sleep enhances and maintains their immunity as well.

For those always saying Singaporeans go across to the causeway to die.
Some other folks are saying in separate threads when they read about someone who died in a shopping centre in MY that Singaporeans are welcome to die after crossing the causeway as its cheaper, etc.
Then what about one who were hacked to death in Orchard Plaza in the early morning? Avoid Orchard road? Avoid lifts in Woodlands just because one bangla hacked his Indonesian lover to death and dragged her up to the water tank?
Again, crime happens everywhere, we need to take note, take the necessary precaution, be vigilant and most importantly not be controlled by it or by fear mongers.

Agreed AP, by the way, i read you bought at Nusa Duta as well? A learned friend of mine brought his friends to Nusa Duta on Sunday, found out that all of Nusa Duta Clusters has been sold out already.

I remember police and thief very well.
Another thing about our generation was we were good at inventing games.
We could just figure out games out of nothing.
Unfortunately i was not good at catching fish/climbing trees. My dad did not encourage me to mix much with the guys in my neighbourhood. End up i became a GEEK.
When my cousin from Washington came down to visit me in the 1980s he introduced the Ghost game to me. it was fun. Those days without gadgets.
A car with lights driven by potential energy was eye popping and the object of my adoration.
yes absolutely no gadgets then .
My dad bought a TV for us in the year 1982. Due to limited programming those days and ofcourse my dad not wanting me to become a TV addict TV watching was limited to English News and BBC shows.
Todays kids are a far cry from our generation.
They love to show of gadgets. They look down on those who cant afford or do not possess the expensive gadgets.
Eg... The kids have Iphone 3, yet they need the iphone 4. They have ipad. yet they need ipad2. Like their lives depended on it.
One of the rich kids i know has a couple of watches which are valued at close to 40k. Now this guy has a friend who is the son of an Indonesian tycoon and wears a limited edition watch which is about 50k to school (JC1).
And why did the father buy this for them? Cause the father exclaimed he did not know what else to buy

SINGAPORE : Raffles Education Corp, through its whole-owned Malaysian subsidiary, has signed a joint venture agreement with Education@Iskandar to establish Raffles University Iskandar in Malaysia's southern state of Johor.
The self-accrediting university will begin operations in October this year out of its leased premises at Kota Raya, Johor Bahru, while its permanent campus in EduCity@Iskandar is being built.
The 65-acre multi-facility campus is expected to be ready by 2013.
The school will join several other educational institutions in Malaysia's southern development corridor, such as the Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia, the Netherlands Maritime Institute of Technology, and the University of Southampton Malaysia Campus.
The new university will be 80 per cent held by Raffles Education Corp and 20 per cent by Education Iskandar, which will be responsible for the development and operations of the university.
Both companies will put in approximately S$82 million into the project.
The school is expected to enrol up to 5,000 students in its first five years of operations.
It will initially provide undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in three faculties - Business, Design & Art, and Education & Social Sciences.
Two more faculties - Health Sciences and Technology - will be added later.
Raffles Education Corp is the largest private education provider in the Asia-Pacific region.

Morning so hot at Setia Tropika. Then now the weather so nice and blissful.

The pitter patter of the rain is intoxicating.
Reminds me of my childhood....

Yes, things were not so clean, not so safe back then but man we had fun!!!
Being in JB, allows my dad and me to go back to the good old days, he can
fly his kites any time he wants.
I haven't been able to go fishing much though, heard at some of the jetties here, only 20 RM to be dropped off at the 2nd link bridge and they bring you back at an appointed time.
By the way, Prof, are you planning to enrol your kids in any schools here?
For nursery ages, there are options for preschool, heard Julia Gabriel, Cherie Hearts and Eton House are expanding here as well.
So far, i have seen quite a few Cherie Hearts, at Sutera Mall, Austin Heights, one at Setia and another near HH, Bukit Indah area.
Same over here, now its looking so serene here although the rain hasn't reached here yet. Can still see SG in the far distance.
Oh i must have mixed up what you wrote with another bros one then. Understand, sometimes they know best, other times, they act as the safety net i guess. Mine at first was sceptical too but by the 2nd one, she was exhorting me on.
