Living in JB

[Analytical Professor]

Back from JB.

Now kids having tuition.

Then off to airport.

Tomorrow tuition again for kids and after that return to S Tropika.

Was at the Plentong Tesco Extra this afternoon.

Somethings available and some others not available.

I wonder if there will come a day when Singaporeans choose to throw their wedding dinner at JB instead since it is getting so expensive to throw wedding dinners here.

Thats a smashing idea. Only with competition would folks buck up.

Wuqi no.... I am no good at handling plants:o:o.

I love nature thats a different story.

But one thing is for sure I am 1000% better than my maid at handling plants.

Initially I left the gardening to her. Oh what a mess! Now the plants are slowly but surely springing to life.

Its a lot of effort on my side.

Can you believe it i gotta teach her how to plant a sappling? She comes from a farmers family. They have land too!

Aiyoh! Difficult to handle the New Age Kids.

What are they called ? Generation Z or Z++?

Alamak... Bring back so much memory now...

I... Need... To... Change... My... Children's... Mindset...

No bro Wuqi, I dun think my wife will be ever agreeable with that idea!

Getting her to live in JB itself is a huge victory for me.

As a result i have to handle all her Data & Telecommunication issues.

Now the house in JB although not fully completed is really comfortable.

I enjoy my stays there.

But well gotta listen to her too!

Understood, different things work for different people. I am lucky that my wife is the more daring type(she flew herself imprompto with the money i sent her to SF, then flew in my parents, sister and kids there as well for a trip)
Back where we lived, both of us learned to shoot a variety of guns so that she is always prepared and can protect her (and me if need be!)

simple things in life can give you loads of happiness.

You wont believe what i saw last night.

I reached my home about 1150pm thereabouts after my kids were done with their tuition.

They kicked up a big ruckus playing in the carporch area till about 1245. I had to repeatedly warn them to lower their volume lest neighbours think we are being inconsiderate.

One of the games they played..... Brick laying....

Guess where they picked this one from?

Ofcourse from the precint behind mine where so much construction activity has been going on for the last one year. They have seen the laying of bricks, plastering, painting, bulldozing, cranes lifting cement concrete etc.

They were trying to emulate the brick laying last night... Ha ha...

Worse they were trying to get it right and straight... Made me laugh but i did not wanna stop them. They were doing it as a team.

Yes... That is one reason I wan to move to jb where life is simpler...

I would call them Gen O. O for Out of control.
But then again, every generation blames the one before, every old generation thinks the next is rotten to the core

Sounds like you are getting your kids learning the right way, well done.

BTW how is informatics doing? It was raking in big bucks in the late ninetees to the first couple of years at the turn of the century.

And I wish Informatics also goes that way too!

 

[wuqi256]

Was at the Plentong Tesco Extra this afternoon.

Somethings available and some others not available.

Every trip there is a bonus to us as its pretty far out, we would always squeeze in a side trip to the Plentong Giant as well to look at their curtains, the Indonesian decoration items for sale deep inside and also there is a pet store there. Its always interesting walking the bridge to the Giant and seeing that old stone buaya down there.

I don't think that good in SG these days but should be ok in MY i think?

 

[Analytical Professor]

You can see Spore from HH ah? Wah... nice eh....

Today was a pretty nice and serene day after the early morning blast from the sun.

The rest of the day was really nice.

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.

i think its the H pylori bacteria.
You are one of the lucky few who have this bacteria and easily treated by antibiotics.
But for many ulcer is caused by acidity (corrosive gastritis) which does not have a cure... Just medicines to contain the acidity.

Will see if years to come if I am cured permanently or will suffer another relapse.. (cross fingers & toes)

 

[Analytical Professor]

Definitely agree with you on that.

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.

 

[Analytical Professor]

H Pylori usually the cure is complete if you have taken your complete course of antibiotics.

You are one of the lucky few were the erosion is due to the bacteria.

Will see if years to come if I am cured permanently or will suffer another relapse.. (cross fingers & toes)

Maybe she was handling different crops? Our maid is super hardworking, very happy with her. We got a lot of good staff too but a few bad ones as well.
New hires especially are pretty hard to hire here, some complain about the long distance, some about the pay even though we were paying 25% above
market rate so the old complaint about Singaporeans being choosy isn't always true as this is pretty universal.

We got one girl who asked for 1500, we gave her 1800 and she still wasn't happy, in the end, we tried calling her to offer 2k but nothing back from her after that. Then another never showed up for first day of work, yet another just quit after 5 days as she said our office too far even though we gave her 250 RM extra for transport.

Being a boss isn't easy, being a good, humane and understanding boss even more so.

 

[Analytical Professor]

Extra bang for the buck complete with fireworks!

Only issue is traffic situation and getting the people to come here and go back.

Unless we bus them.

Thats a smashing idea. Only with competition would folks buck up.

 

[Analytical Professor]

I dare not give directions.

Scared later Grago comes after me.

Grago no offence la bro

If its causeway, very straightforward. after u exit CIQ, follow the Skudai sign and go straight all the way, until u reach a T junction at the coastline. Here, u turn right and go all the way straight again, following the Skudai sign (try to stay in the middle lane or u may be forced to filter out, the roads there are a bit different). After a 15-20mins drive, u should see a giant Taman Sutera concrete sign on your left. Make a left turn here. Once u turn in, drive for a couple of mins more and u will see Sutera Mall on your right, definitely won't miss it. Main thing is to keep a lookout for the Taman Sutera concrete sign la...its hard to miss.
