PObox address is given by Singpost, you rent a box like a school locker. Go there pick up your mail. There are limitations because some organizations (esp. billing or even acra etc) require a full address.
VOD is similar except it offers a full address. The companies that offer this will tag on more services for your needs esp. if you use it for your start-up business as well.
In terms of pricing, the latter is more value for money, convenience (all will notify you whenever a mail arrives by mobile and/or email) although it is a hassle should the company fold/shift whereas POboxes tend to last more than the lifetime of the box.
Looks ok to me but if you are thinking of turning it on a lot, then 1x2HP and 1x1.5HP or just 1x2.5HP if you don't really turn it on that much. Reason for this is at least if you just turn on 1 aircon unit(2HP), it should bring down the temperature enough to feel comfortable for 1-2 folks. If you have lots of people and activity though (1 person = 1 light inc. bulb approximately) then you have to start with something more powerful, 2.5 is definitely ok.
Master bed room 2HP sounds a bit overkill. 1.5hp should be just right.
how bout artificial grass? at least they won't wilt without watering and has a neater/classier look. because they're made out of weather resistant material and mostly installed on a porous bed, they settle into their routine pretty well. wood is nice indoors but outdoors tend to wear even with the best care esp. in a wet/dry/wet kinda weather we get. then there is the potential termites infestation (touch wood - literally).
If you are not prepared to queue in traffic jams then you made the right decision. The day when the two links are jam-free, I'm afraid, will never come unless something drastic happens. In any case, a jam from CIQ to CIQ normally takes less than 45 minutes to clear.
I guess rm100K to rm120K should be sufficient , inclusive of furniture . For me I spent about RM60K only , basic things like lighting , air cons , grills , built in cabinets , TVs , sofa , bedroom sets , gardens plants .

totally agree, wooden planks will warp, not only unsightly but dangerous; will trap falling leaves too.
hi polyman
Save S$200K or lost opportunities? Only time will tell....
Over the past few years, I have been asking myself - am I missing any blind spots? I am worried if I am only looking at the positive news / potential and ignoring the risks.
This discussion forum is useful, as we hear extreme views and opinions. At the end of the day, we make our own decisions and be accountable to ourselves....
I am still very optimistic of the developments in Malaysia, and JB in particular.... of course the time frame is an important factor ... am looking at beyond 20 years ..

Bro, some people will only decide when that 20 years come, by then there would probably be jam free multi-links/modes of transportation.

Johor set to house region’s largest film-making complex
JOHOR BARU: Johor is set to house the largest film complex in the region when Pinewood Studios Iskandar Malaysia (PSIM) opens its doors in 2013.
PSIM chief executive officer Michael Lake said the complex, on a 32.37ha site in Nusajaya, would offer state-of-the-art facilities for film production and related activities.
He said that among the facilities would be production offices, filmset construction areas and backlot (an area behind or adjoining a movie studio, containing permanent exterior sets for outdoor scenes in motion picture or television production).
The complex will have five fully air-conditioned and sound-proofed film stages with floor areas of between 1,400 and 2,800 sq metres, and two high-definition television stages of 1,100 sq metres each.
“It will become a one-stop centre, providing filmmakers with world-class facilities,” Lake said at a talk held in conjunction with the Careers, Businesses and Skills Carnival 2011 at Persada Johor here.
He explained that Malaysia had all the elements to make it attractive to film producers, such as its competitive exchange rate, lower production costs and interesting locations that could be used for filming.
“We hope to attract film production companies not only from Asia, but also Europe and the United States,” he said .
However, Lake pointed out that building the infrastructure alone would not suffice, and that PSIM needed to train talents in various cinematic, organisational and technical skills.
He added that PSIM would look into providing internship opportunities for locals who were interested in the film industry.
Lake said he had already begun marketing PSIM to the film industry overseas, and the reaction has so far been largely positive.
“Malaysia presents a new and exciting frontier, and film producers have been interested in learning more about the country,” he said.
He added that PSIM would work closely with Multimedia Deve_lopment Corp and the National Film Development Corporation to promote and market the complex both locally and overseas.
PSIM was established with RM400mil in investments in a joint venture between Khazanah Nasional Berhad and UK-based Pinewood Shepperton

Hello Polyman,
Can I know what is your main objective for joining this forum on "living in JB”?
1st you say you were visiting JB 10yrs back when big nice houses were going at 250K...
Then, to console yourself that you are not missing out anything, you say that you made half a million Sing dollars
in SG property, which we can never do in JB property
Now you say you made a U turn, and save S$200K
You don’t need to look further than Singapore as you are already making million at 40 mah!
People in this forum are all so “ dumb " come JB just to sink money down the drain. Please help us out, teach us how to make a million dollar before 40 so that we can move back to SG and join the elites to make millions a year and stay in 800K DBSS pigeonholes.
When we found a good lobang here in JB , we share with our bros and sisters here . What have you contribute to this forum ?

Bro, some people will only decide when that 20 years come, by then there would probably be jam free multi-links/modes of transportation.
and who knows by then the appreciation of properties would have made it unattainable for these buyers. perhaps they'll have to start looking at segamat next time. In a way i'm hoping for more u-turn cases leave those who are really earnest about living in JB to enjoy our lives where we are.

eh bro..
hold your horses before u continue with your shit line of questioning...let me assure u i never see people who buy house in JB as dumb. Else i will not be considering buying one unit there also. Every choice one make there is pros and cons, two sides to an argument...dont be like some people who only want hear the good things. The fact that i am presenting other perspectives is "contribution" already. There are bros like me who are still on the fence. This forum is beyond your narrow focus on where is the cheapest makan, workshop etc..People's families/retirement and even lives are at stake here. If u keep chasing away people who say things which u dont want to hear...u end up with a perpetuating self belief forum that is like some govt's Feedback Unit...
As a matter of fact i went into JB today. Incidentally today causeway going in is jam free around 10+..came back around 3+..got finger printing...but its quick.
Saw 3 places - Adda Heights/Setia Tropika/Desa Tebrau....while doing some shopping in between...

to be frank i am also perturbed with your brief 2 cents. sounds more like sour grapes than solid constructive comments the latter which is always welcome. like what lastresort kindly did a few pages back warning us about a certain developer. if you have saved your S$200k please continue to save more of that and stay out of JB. Don't you dare come into JB enjoy the savings, turn around and cast the lower eye for those of us who have made our lives here.

By the way. when i presented my assets, it is not to thumb down anyone in the forum. it is to let the bros in here know where your uncle is coming from....as i already stated, there are loads of people out there and of course in this forum who are doing far better than me.

seems like my comments have offended some bros here and alternate views are not welcome. Ok la...Polyman is history..
Hi polyman
No need to be too perturbed by the bros/sis comments. Just like u they/we are also entitled to our opinions. I think thats the reason why this forum is longlived. I guess we give as much as we received right.
