Nice twin villa! I can't still help regretting not buying the twin villa instead of a corner terrace. Hope you don't mind if I pop by for the seeds you offered someone else!
But that will probably be late next year when we move in. GBU!

Thanks Leman for highlighting this issue. Too bad I have already thrown away all the bank receipts. Will keep the deposit receipt incase run into trouble with the authorities.
What to do? That time was Chinese New Year time, need to pay deposit for my house, then the exchange rate was very low mah. With TT lagi low. Then my husband got so gangho...we didn't know that cannot do this.... :P
Lucky didn't buy Adda Height, don't feel at ease with it also....
There is a slight hysterical note when it comes to electrical appliances - the movers are very particular.
We lucked onto a really nice young guy from a very decent company who will move household stuff at a very reasonable cost from Singapore to your doorstep. Having checked with many others, I am sure their rates cannot be topped.
There are many considerations you may not know about: customs rules and regulations, complicated paperwork, the many counters and approvals required, timing at the causeways, reliable workers (a BIG consideration) and their working hours, and their break times … all sorts.
This company has wide experience and is very pleasant to deal with as well. And if you have stuff to donate to a registered charity in Johor, they know all the ropes.
NOTE: You must specify if you need the stuff unloaded and placed in your house.

And do tell them I made the recommendation - one day they will advertise!
For all pork lovers, can try 锦和 supermarket that sell quite a variety. Its around nusa bestari , opposite bestmart. Make a right turn at petronas station(opp bestmart), turn left and you will see the supermart on the right.
Always a good idea to fully secure your house with good locks. What you need is a lock that is not so easily broken so that you will wake up before they succeed. One must not have a false sense of security, you must be prepared in case the security is breached.
You need an export license from Singapore, and an import license from JB. Be careful about the date. I can't quite recall which licence comes first? With the licence you just drive through Tuas via the normal car lane.
To bring a dog back to SG, it will be subjected to the one month quarantine rule, plus a host of requirements in terms of vaccination.
The newer design of Johor Bahru houses seem to have a lot of glass area. Big glass doors and big picture windows. If the thieves bring their glass-cutting tools, they will be able to get in silently, and without breaking any locks.
This all-glass type design is also common in Singapore condo's now, but our Singapore thieves are not as fierce as the J.B thieves. Many of the more audacious Condo robbries in Singapore are now done by 'tourists' and F.T.'s.

Sometmes I feel the nice glass windows are so wasted lor, turns ugly after fixing the window grilles. What to do? Bo bian!
Renting a car in JB would be cheaper; look for one of those reliable car rental companies like Avis or Hertz. But it would be a lot easier to rent the car in SG and drive in/out of Nusajaya. Just make sure the insurance and rental terms cover usage in Malaysia. All the best.
Hi Prof, Polymin, Mallow and cockcansing for the advise/tips about moving electrical items. I guess that's my only concern since I doubt the Msian customs will tax on my mattress and sofa set. And if the electrical items are really cheaper in SG, I might buy a few more stuff to move to Nusajaya when the time comes. Will contact that Danny contact given by Mallow. Thanks again.
As for the Myvi; don't get me wrong. It really is a decent car; and it can go up hills like Genting and Cameron. That particular hill where my friend's car got stuck was really steep; maybe 35-40 degrees... but it still managed to move, eventually :-) Counting down the months to moving.
Now there's another concern about my wife and my travel in/out of SG daily. Our plan is to travel in/out together... either one of us will need to make sacrifices in terms of waking earlier to go in together and staying back late to return to Nusajaya together. But last Thurs, she returned home at 4am because of quarter closing. And the next night, it was 11pm. Although this will be a rare issue, but we definitely need to find a way around this when it happens, for our safety and convenience... any suggestions?

Regarding the robbery at Adda Heights; it's frightening to have that happen to anyone. My wife and I discussed in detail about security and our safety before we decided to buy the house in NI. We didn't let fear paralyze us from buying the property and we plan to really beef up the security at our home when it's completed.... things like motion sensor spot lights around the house, fence wall lights switched on at night, 1-2 dogs as well as CCTV cameras around the area. These are on top of grills and maybe land mines in the garden.
Our plan is to prevent the robbers from being tempted to target our property by lighting up our homes at night. We also believe that the CCTV video is more of a tool to help in the capture (assuming that the Nusajaya police does their job) of the robbers; but we want to prevent the incident as much as possible.
Admittedly, NI's security doesn't seem as good as HH.

Add motion detectors as a triple layer security on top of good locks as first measure, then followed by the usual alarm system.
Always make your room ( and kids ) a safe room with dead bolts. As long as you delay their entry, you can save your family
Replace the cheap door with flame retardant doors.( I plan to also get some fire extinguisher as well)
There's no full proof but there should be some basic measure to protect ourselves. I take extra effort to know all my neighbors and look out for each other. Me paranoid, maybe but I prefer to call it survival skills
