Living in JB 2 (Johore)

[whoami]

Bro, I believe time is on your side....you started young! Hang in there and you will see the fruits of your labour...

I hv this dream too...let's see how it goes...coz my disadvantage is time and bullets! That's the only 2 things I think is my biggest drawback!
But come to think of it, I should be contented with what I have now and most importantly a happy family and trusted frens around me...dun be greedy

will be starting a new job next mth...let's see if there are opportunities...

New job. Tat prove ur new home bring u luck! U should be contented with ur new purchase cos not everyone as lucky as u. All the best in ur new job, bro.

[spidey]

Bro, part and parcel of life as one progress. The changes sounded like much awaited and all for the better. Press on. Don't let your mental goes weak, or let your physical parts go limpy. U can do it bro!

Thanks Bro...for the kind words! Counting my blessings that someout out there still want this old banger! Will push on and presevere...
funny, always tell my kids not to give up, especially my son when he plays his fav gave for his school...hhhmmmm..look in the mirror, dad! could imagine him saying that...

Thanks bro...yeah! should be contented! every new day, consider it as a big bonus!!! hahahahah
I thot I'll stick with current empyer for the rest of my life...never thot someone out there or up there still value this old banger! I almost left last year for a pretty good role...unfortunately it fell through in the last min. I was really sad and thot that it's gonna be difficult looking at my age to move on. Was sad and down forclose to a mth as ask HIM why? I kept the faith and continue on...and now I know why, he has better plans for me...but in his own time ...I missed one boat but a ship came along...

Anyway,to all those bros and sis here...if you fail the 1st time, dun dispair...there is a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th...and so on...preservere and hang in there...the time will come! HE will show the way.
Like Bro Wuqi and DOA DREAM BIG..TOMORROW IT MAY BECOME A REALITY!!!
Also, I always believe in this - This is what my father always says to me - TODAY I MAY NOT BE RICH! BUT, TOMORROW THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT I WILL NOT BE RICH!!...hahahahh..solace in contentment. In the end, Grandpa left him a shoplot...:-)

Agree with you Bro - the 1st step is the Dream...if you don't have that dream..then all is lost! I always tell my kids to dream and dream big....don't aim at a small dot, aim big at a vast area...if you miss, you are still somewhere there, hence not so bad!!! hehehehe.....and all these coming from a father that didn't dream big! coz my time, my parents didn't pay much attention to us...coz there were busy putting food on the table!

So Bro, indirectly are you forecasting there is still room to move for properties in JB. Fr the sound of the news, something big is goona come out soon and will have impact. Is it just BI/HH area or the whole of JB?

Good for your, i am glad you never gave up.
There is still room, it has gone bigger than i ever dreamt it will be. For all actually.

Now i know why some learned friends of mine, after i shared with them, they did own research and in the end got more than me. People who are lazy only based their decisions in life on hearsay or react only after what is in the news. People who have made the effort to find out more and see for themselves have benefitted rather than those who just kept saying no and never saw for themselves.

Just like stocks, everything needs homework to be done before committing. Due dilligence is always important.

Sometimes hard to be a good boss, alot of things to settle and yet staff always have some issues one must help sort. My life seems to revolve around others, maybe thats my calling. After one staff borrowed money, another one is borrowing money from us again. Barely coping but just now heard from my home boss that the staff is in serious straits so another sum gone.

u are too nice to be a boss ! maybe should really draw a clear line when comes to money ....i know u have a gd heart but money is a sensitive issue.
When u loan out the amount of money to the person , be prepare it will never return back ....

[DREAMorACTION]

Sorry to hear, but when I lend money to someone, very seldom I expect I will see the money again. So I lend with care ... But once lend, I just say sayonara to the money, and continue smiling to the borrower.

Anyway, hope I can cheer u up abit with this

NO MATTER WHAT SITUATIONS LIFE THROWS AT YOU….NO MATTER HOW LONG AND TREACHEROUS YOUR JOURNEY MAY SEEM….

REMEMBER, THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!

If the $$ comes back....consider it as a big bonus!!! Most importantly Bro, you have done a good deed to help a fren in need. That, my fren is priceless....you cannot put a sum on that deed...

i felt good today....on the MRT this morning, as usual pack to the brim and heard someone shouted if anyone can offer this blind lady a seat...I immediately got up and ushere her to my seat without any hesitation! felt good and my target is to do at least one good deed a day....hahahahah!!!

[DREAMorACTION]

Now I'm not a happy bunny.

Just saw first two freckles on my right arm and one on my left.

bummer!

[DREAMorACTION]

Hi Spidey,

It sound too familar.. We cannot give up. With our liberal work environment and our so called abnormal union, employees are not protected.. Youth is the strength.. To survive, whether one is in low ranking or in senior management, today you fire someone, the next day you will be fired.. My previous previous HR director after fire a big group of workers, she was shocked to be asked to go as well.. That is the life today.. The VP after sacking all the workers to boast his bonus, he was also asked to go next year.. That is why many years ago I attended numerous expensive courses on trading hopefully to be able to survive on trading one day.. However it is not easy to win on stock markets. too many of us have such dream.. to trade and live in malaysia.. ha.. we cannot give up.. If you fail once, or miss the boat, there might be a ship next day.. If you miss a ship, there might be a plane... Just got to keep trucking.....

I also changed job recently..got to take public transport to work as there is no parking in my area and season parking is $400 a month.. Pinos, Indians, Caucasians all are taking public transport together... In future you will find these pinos become bankers.. Our liberal employment policy is creating a skill gap among the younger generation.. Entry level jobs given to indians, pinos etc, with experience they get promoted to managers and VPs, local singaporeans will become less and less skill..
and maybe, the most secured jobs will be MHA, Army where only locals are entilted to..

Singapore pool always have good business.. because if you buy, one day you might be a millionaire..maybe we need to be millionaire not because of luxury, we need a few millions in order to survive here in years to come..

Thanks bro...yeah! should be contented! every new day, consider it as a big bonus!!! hahahahah

Yes, have been calling for people to vest here since 3 years ago. Few listened though.
Not in Penang unfortunately but its a good place to go it seems.

Yes i do, i am one of them. Wife said i maybe too much GTA but thats one of my plans to. Don't say unlikely, don't say no. One never knows.
Some people dreams, some people live their dreams. Having dreams is important, dare to dream like the cliche saying. Since dreams are free, might as well dream big right? Dreaming is the first step towards realising it. If you can think about it, there is a chance that it can be realised.

Fantasy? Yes, I have a lot. Preferably the penthouses at the tallest skyscrapers in each city ... I have such dreams but even if I dare to dream, I don't think it will ever become a reality, based on current pathetic status ... A dream will remain dream. I just woke up from my dream and now I face the reality ... But weekend is coming, so can make more dreams with longer sleeping hours. Dream on, all !

Yup dreams are important. Never say never, we are only restricted by ourselves, not others...

Hi
I have been following this forum for more than a year since I bought a house in Nusajaya. Thanks alot for the sharing. I finally "finished" the defects (warranty expiring soon but still some minor items nor rectified!) and reno after 2 yrs. However, I find it inconvenient to stay in JB as I do not drive. My dilemma now is to decide whether to keep it as weekend house or rent it out or sell it. Any advice?

Me too, public trp all the way to work...parking and erp is just too expensive to me. And the moment u get on the MRT, you see "everyone" hahaha!
Reason for the job change for me was that my co was taken over... And most of bosses were either asked to go or trf back to Hq...hence new bosses and new culture! Until cannot tahan

Spore pool gives us "hope"! There is a chance for a better tomorrow.

Now I'm not a happy bunny.

Just saw first two freckles on my right arm and one on my left.
