I have finally make my purchase at HH. Hehe, pretty excited!
Took me a while to decide... I have been to HH like 1 and half years ago, checked out the place and i told myself, this is the place i want to stay. Couldnt jump in straight coz i wasnt sure if i will settle down in JB for good. I am born in Penang and grow up in KL but my wife is from Muar.. and due to job offer, i am currently working in JB. Deep down, i still miss my life in KL and penang... basically i just miss the sophistication of a big city!
Honestly, there isnt much to do and see in JB. When i accept my job offer in JB, i told myself that i can always cross over to Sg for some entertainment/shopping etc but i found that i am always too tired during my off day, i hate the traffic jam. Like i said, i have been to HH atleast 5-6 times in the past 1-2 years and couldnt make up my mind. 1)I am not sure if i will settle down in JB 2)Like many, i am not sure if Iskandar will be successful ( hehe, even for a malaysian). To be honest, i am very skeptical in the beginning.
However, i am really seeing some concrete progress in Iskandar. Legoland is building (yup, not a myth, haha), Premium outlet, New castle university, Marborough, Glenealgle Hospital, Columbia Asia etc... And i say hey, may be i will end up staying in JB longer than i thought? May be JB will end up like a "mini" KL/Sg city after 10 years? Well, may be not comparable but definitely not a dead town like now. Now that the coastal highway is up and running, it will make traveling much easier for both me and my wife too. My wife work in Monash Medical University in JB (down town) and i work some where near Pelangi Plaza, with the new highway it will only take me 10-15 mins to reach work.
Saw the Iskandar johor Open aired on Astro the other day and that further boost my confidence in Nusajaya, then, i found this thread. Oh wow, i never know there is such a good singaporean/ malaysian community already present in this part of the town. I just need that last push and this thread really help me make up my mind. Talk to my wife, went to HH and got it done, at last!
I have a big grin on my face when Azhar (sale person in HH) shook my hand and said "welcome to Horizon Hills !"
