Boon Lay Shopping Center. My best rate was 2.45 , well also long gone , sigh !:(
That is the best about Malaysia. Can play fire cracker. Bring children there to celebrate CNY to see how traditional CNY celebration. Now many parent buy PSP/handphone spoil the child playing whole day game on it.
Now new trend coming out play lantern or small version of hot air balloon.
For me i got my electrical and electronic stuff from all over the place...
My lights i got from skudai.
My TV and fridge from a shop at Setia Tropika
Water heater from another shop....
FAn from yet another place
And now aircons from yet another place and the list goes on...
Initially i did not know where to go and buy. So when i saw something and the price was good/comparable i just bought it.
Now that you have suggested Nusa Bestari that will have to be on my watch list. Thank you man.

Luckily my wife has told my kids there will strictly be no Computer Games/PSP/Wii/Nintendo etc.
Instead she offers them travel holidays, watching tv together for limited time, church, gardening, baking and plenty of parental time. My kids are still very young.

That rate hovered during January last year.
I think happy times may be back soon if the S$ strengthens...

No bro i am still not familiar with all the traditional massage shops. I just know a few.
I passed by a couple of them but did not try.
I think i know the one near Euro Rich that you are referring to.
I should try it sometime. Have not tried it yet.
Thanks.

Honest and decent friend, thanks for the tip, haha...
I'll keep a look out the next time I jalan jalan at Perling...and make sure I wear my dark glasses too, dont want to kena blinded by spotlights!
My experience is exchange at Golden Mile or Woodland is usually alright. No point hunting for cents and millicents of difference. The fractions of cents you save per dollar is not worth the trouble. Just don't exchange after crossing the border. Singapore moneychanger rates are generally better, worldwide renowned.
If you need emergency cash in Malaysia, you can use ATM. Draw from your savings account, not from credit line. It'd still be more expensive than cash exchange at money changers but an emergency is an emergency. Draw at least 4 figures (in the thousands) to make the extra service charges average out to worth the while.

Hey Ramseth, thats what i used to think too, until my wife brought me to a couple of them near Nusa Bestari, if you change more, they tend to give you better rates than even in SG provided you change with $50 dollar notes. Anything amount with per note denomination that smaller than that,then SG is definitely better. This is excluding those in change alley (SG) who may give a better rate.
Just to share some notes from a field trip today...
Took the afternoon off work to run the car. Traffic at 2nd link non-existent (sgd3.2 + RM7.5 each way up and down) . With the good new roads, the distances amongst the Nusajaya developments in the main-road loop (eastwards from Nusajaya interchange, HH & NI, Kota Iskandar, & loop back south & west passing Medini, Legoland, Educity, EL/LH, Geland Patah interchange) are even closer than I imagined. And this not yet including the Coastal Hway that can be seen being completed that will slice through the centre of the loop; from HH to Legoland. Got me thinking about the appreciation that will surely come when they are completed and more people discover the area . Saw a couple of Singapore Mercedes driving thru the show houses too...
Dropped by the showhouses of East Ledang (impressive what ideas you can get to make up a terrace. they block the road but just ask the guard in the shed and he will let you thru) and even kapoh the Nusa Idaman (semi d Prec 4 showhouse). Wonder why HH does not do a proper showhouse ? Perhaps is true without doing it, they have sold out all their developments (at least the terraces) thus the concept & from seeing outside the Gateway & Golf & Clubhouse, it sells for itself.
At the BI Jusco car park, I went into my car, and locked it. Someone came up to my side door and asked if can ask me a question. I shook my head and he went away. Part of me wanted to but another part said dont bother. Nothing happened and perhaps I over-reacted. Although I see many more police patrolling (and even the new Nusajaya Police Station at the Anjung), we should not let our guard down and better to err on the side of caution. I even bought a steering lock that is std deterrent accessory in Malaysian cars. I got the baseball bat type for RM35 as it fits the thicker steering wheels (because of airbags) and got a good grip itself as well.
At nightfall, the best part was the food, shopping, then car wash in Bukit Indah, full tank petrol and cool 'highland' air esp after the rain and straight wide highway with the cool air rushing through the winded-down windows in the drive along the 2nd link.
Looking fwd to my HH house to be ready in 2012 to enjoy more of that more regularly.

Where was i at that time??
When i bought one of my homes, it was 2.49, then it went to 2.53.
I changed all i had.
Need to get some bricks today to protect my pine trees ie., to prevent the landscapers from accidentally cutting my pine trees.
Noticed a shop in Nusa Bestari that sells them.

On the other hand, Malaysia is facing high inflation threat too. Saw in CNBC that analysts are also betting on the strengthening of the Ringgit. Don't know which one will strength more, S$ or MYR? In any case, just don't hold on to any US$ or Euro.
Me too. Can only see other enjoying their investment. Some days don't even go there for a few weeks.
I was also looking for bricks for perimeter use and found a brick manufacturer who quote me RM1.3 per pcs but must pick up from plant at Kota Tinggi.

Congrats to you. Sounds like you purchased the golf-facing Gateway units and that must be from the resale market?
We all look forward to your open house
