My wife not keen to explore bro....

If i say anything i kena whack..... Hope she not reading this....

She claims got no time to drive here there to try this or that

But thanks for the Tesco KFC salon place. I think she would wanna try it.

Will recomend.

Hi Checkers, most are open during that time, some may even be open more than usual. Jusco for sure will be open as with Tesco. Giant wise i think so too. Go to Mydin near the East Ledang/Ledang Heights area. Some of the stuff are really cheap, 3 pin multi plugs at 2.90, DVD/VCD cleaner kit at 2.60. Quite a good deal there.

For folks who want good hairstyling(higher class type), go to Tesco(Bukit Indah) where near the KFC, there is a very good salon there with hair treatment. Or Lings outside Sutera Mall (near the Pontian Wanton Noodles)

You are right bro....

That darn pasir gudang lebuhraya can never predict one ....

sometimes jam while entering bukit indah toll gate.....

sometimes jam when leaving bukit indah you pay the toll and come out near perling then mati already......

sometimes jam towards plentong side

sometimes jam when coming from plentong towards kempas side

so scared of that road.....

previously the thistle road used to be ok

now got massive jams there at the BHP or whatever the orange yellow petrol station..

cause of road works

and that tebrau road any which time also jam

Bros AP and Abugumgum are correct, been a bit bad recently. The worst i had experienced was driving one evening and stuck for 2 hours on the Pasir Gudang highway. Quite scary when we finally saw the reason why, a very large truck was found upside down with its container trailer upside down as well. Drive safe especially this month, saw a lot of exceptional death this month.

 

[cathylmg]

have you seen the congestion from setia tropika residential towards commercial (that is setia sales office to immigration office in the mornings)?

Pardon my curiosity. What happened? :O

 

[cathylmg]

aiyo ofcourse you dun have to gain.

you are sharing...

that is good already...

Don't want to sound like touting mah...hehe...

Btw, my whole house in Singapore using Econflo. More then 13 year. Not a Single problem. But I don't think I'd would wanna use it in JB house lah. Sekali all taps disappear. :P

 

[Whathefish]

Ok understand the situation better now...

Mine was different

Very confused now. Apparently, HH kept the State Consent Application Form (which i've signed for mths), and it's an agreement btw HH and Lawfirm that once loan disbursed from bank, then HH pass to Lawfirm to submit for approval. Isn't this contrary to most other MY property purchases? Or is this the norms? Any HH owners can clarify?

BY right approval must be sought for the state consent application before anything else, but well, this being Malaysia, "by right" isn't always the way they do things here. Got to push the lawyer, he has to get the job done before collecting his fees.

It normally takes about 1-2 months. Developer side is usually slightly faster. Sometimes even 3 months or more depending what type you are getting. Make sure if your unit is master title that it transfers cleanly to you as an individual title after all this is done.

Thanks for all replies. Mine is a sub-sale . Hopefully it will not take more than 5 months or else I will have to pay interest to vendor.

Just a question :
My family is thinking of going in during the hari raya break...any idea if the hypermarts, shops will be open during the festive occasion? Appreciate your response.

Do plan your time since traffic is normally horrendous over long week end... talk about that i better head back to JB now

 

[avalon74]

lots of congestion around Setia Tropika bro....during peak hours....

and if you guys have noticed lots of congestion along jalan tebrau as well

Bro,
Can imagine since I used to visit Aeon Tebrau previously..
but at least there is a highway to causeway which suppose to cut down on travel time..

Y'all please be extra careful on the roads as there is a huge rush for people travelling home to their families for Hari Raya celebrations. And expect the causeways to be horrendously jammed for the extra long weekend taking in Malaysia's National Day on the 31st. Be well and safe everyone.

Thanks Mallow, will stay put in Sg for voting today.. next week then going in..

 

[checkers]

Thanks LeMans and Mallow for all your kind advice.

How about the second link? Will it be that bad too?

 

[Narmi]

Is it cheaper to buy paints in Singapore or in Malaysia?

Anybody has experience in this since we are talking about renovations?

Think my home in Sg needs a new coat of paint..

Hi AP

Last week i just bought 2 5lit nippon paint in jb for my sg hse. After conversion its abt $38 each. It seems now Nippon got 20% disc for certain paint series... Btw i bought at paint shop wic is quite near plaza pelangi. In sg wil cost me at leas $15-20 more each.

 

[Narmi]

Those that you get from NTUC or Homefix is better in quality and value for money. If you want really good ones, you can go visit Hoo Kee at Katong shopping centre(if I didn't remember wrongly), the place where there are a lot of curtain shops? Its at the ground level. Use to be a Yokosho there.

If you want premium good ones, you can go to Econflo. Just Google them. I know them cause I used to work in a construction company.
P.S. : I don't have anything to gain from this.

Hi sis cathy

The name of the place is Tanjong Katong Complex. The hoe kee store is grd floor beside the escalator, beside the entrance cannot miss one. They have another outlet at Jalan Besar area near the hawker centre. When i got my sg hse 11 yrs ago i bought the bathtub, sink (blanco) and mixer. Till now works fine tho at that time i thinkg i can get cheaper somewhere else. So no regrets

 

[mallow]

Considering the cost, yes ... because people will be hoping to spend less time on the link and are willing to pay for it. Try to time yourself carefully and go when it is less likely to be crowded, if you can ... between 1-5 am are best.

Ap

Pure white is the easiest to buy cos they no need to mix. I bought orchid white. Just ask for pure white no need mixing one. They have in the catalogue. Price the same tho with my orchid white or any other kind of white variation. If just your hdb living room AP u need only 1x 5 litre. Mine is 5room hdb. Not sure if u need more than 1 coating tho.
