Gin, I just rent out my HDB flat. Its 1 month for 1 year contract.
Congrats Cathylmg, you are well and truly here.
Well done!
Hi Polyman,
Don't leave, i am glad you managed to find your way back despite your initial U turn at the causeway, somehow your writing style seems to be related to someone familiar though.
1. Knows Johor well, been there many years ago, knows his/her stuff
2. Wanted to buy back then but didn't
3. Talked about traffic jams and glad that you didn't buy unlike others who are stuck there (are they really stuck there to begin with, hmmm)
Well i digress. Not to worry, i don't think your sharing of how much $$$ you have currently would thumb down most of the folks here. Some have (whom i have the good luck to know) already reached your current level before age 30 and just like you, they are self starters.
Whilst the SG dollar is doing well now, its still not well enough such that 200k SGD = 500k RM so you still need slightly more than 200k to get the house plus levy, legal fees, stamp duty (for developments which don't cover these) You would also likely need another 50-150k to cover for renovation. So you might need closer to 300k SGD.
I am glad you reached a decision to save your money but as this is a forum, whether you regret your decision or make another U-turn, no one knows so you don't need to feel embarrassed.
Feel free to U turn on your decision not to buy as well. I wish you well.

Wuqi, you can say that again. Just last week, a friend of mine who do not dare to drive her car into JB asked me if I could pick up her contact lens for her at City Square. What an irony. She is so careful with her car, but how about mine?
And the contact lens costs S$300 in Singapore but RM300 in City Square. Or maybe she can pass some savings into my pocket? Nah! Just kidding...will check for her at my Taman instead.
Its sometimes so funny, people who diss JB at every turn are almost always there every weekend. Whether they U turn or cuss at the traffic, they still go back there regularly whether its in a bus, in a BMW or on a plane. Why curse and still always go at the same time? Makes one really wonder.
Despite never actively (at least not from me) promoting this thread elsewhere such as posting on other forums to draw traffic, someone just told me we have more than 500k views now.
Realistically, even if we half this figure, at least this thread would have reached out to 250k people.
Thanks to all who contributed to the thread including the naysayers.

Ok, thank you.
Hi Skippy, yup she's back and she will be moving in to HH soon i guess. She's definitely one of the better sales execs as she will not hesitate to help even if you're not her direct customer.
Great to know you got a place at KSL. It will be one that will benefit greatly from the new RTS between SG and JB. But it's really too expensive for me.
I checked at 2 stores in SLS, and they priced their MX357 at SGD249 too... Anyway, I believe the bigger IT chain shops have better buying power and thus can get their products cheaper than the smaller 1-store companies. FYI, I bought my Canon printer at All IT Hypermarket, a chain store in KL similar to Challenger. Very few IT items are cheaper in SG compared to MY after converting.
Hee hee bro lastresort, yup totally agreed with you that Prem is very helpful even though u not her customers. Not sure she's ready for house warming.. ha ha..
Oh i didnt get a place in KSL :O ... but am ard the area most of the time. There's nice thai style steamboat just behind Pelangi Plaza.. loves the soup base there. Hee hee :P
I said there are car smashing incidence, better not drive there. I also don't drive there, which is true, I cannot lie unnecessarily.
Secretly thinking: Next time please pass some of the savings to me!
haha skippy bro, I bet I'm younger than you, so it feels weird to be called bro. great, i'll try the food there when i happen to be around the area. My parents usually wouldn't want to go there as they feel the area is not so safe and hard to find parking place. But heck, i'll just take a bus in with my friends.

if i remember correctly skippy is XX not XY =p
haha, correct, but it means quite some travel to the place with good food, I have no car so gotta rely on my dad, but my mother is always lazy to go far, and we are quite budget all the time. 3 meals at coffeeshop also can!
Maybe next time no need to go too far, will be trying the dim sum at HH soon (right outside Fairway Suites! just cross the road). We're are not very good eaters, anything also can. =)
Yes you are right, maybe I should come back to singapore.. Its not possible that they do not know noise can travel.. And the bangs are getting louder and louder each day..
That man is not the sort anyone would offend... The management office wants proof.. The clerks told me witnesses are not sufficient.. Told me to call the downstairs security to come up and listen to catch the noise... How is this possible? Yesterday there were thunderous bangs from 11pm-2am, I am not sure what was happening.. I feel very uneasy.. Those bangs are not normal, sounds like someone throwing a metal chair at a wooden cabinet.. It was very very loud... 10minutes once... Sometimes, heavy footsteps followed by a huge bang... Defitely deliberately done.. There is a dog upstairs and after every bang, the dog would start barking... Its that loud.. There is something going on inside I am sure..
I have no choice but to consider moving out.. Maybe back to Singapore... There is no peace here.. If I move within JB, can someone recommend a mover for me?
oh yes, we don't go by link dua, will try your recommendation if got chance!
Yup you are so right... I'm Ms Skippy not Mr Skippy...
BTW Pai sei.... Lastresort... i'm sure you are young... not too sure younger.... or mayb same same.. but nevertheless... we are the full of zest and surely onz ones who enjoys sharing and posting our experiences in this forum.
About the gathering... answering to Bro Hangyong.. surely hopping to make it happen but alot to consider and may need help in administrative and logistic stuffs. Also need to consider parking and food wise to make sure that can cater to the young ones to the wise ones. Hence cannot say have it in HH or EL... hmm.. i need many many support to make this very possible. Plus got sponsors? can throw in some free gifts for kids to also make it enjoyable for them. Me small fly.. need to gather strength and mighty ones... any volunteers??? i promise no identity to be revealed at all times... work on secret codes... (sounds like some secret agents) ** too much movies ...
Crossing my fingers...
