thank you everyone for your well-wishes & suggestions. i think bro wuqi understands my situation well (even though i have not really shared too much info about my life) ;) in fact, we have gone through thoughts of migration many years back... even applied pr to australia. unfortunately due...

thanks sis for the invite :) no point going thru it when the other half is not going to fully cooperate.. it will be hell. i got a friend migrated his whole family to australia, only to return 2 yrs later. not cos he got no job, but his wife could not get over the fact she has to DIY on...

the older cashcard readers expose the cashcards.. but in newer ones, the cashcards are inserted directly underneath the reader. it won't be visible.. anyway, old habit, i still remove it and keep in my glovebox ;)

would there also be a situation where there won't be any buyer cos the value isn't 1 mil, yet the requirement is minimum 1 mil? basically the investor will be stuck in a 800k house where locals cannot afford, and foreigners are not eligible? marking it up 200k to 1 mil will probably not bait...

been out of action for some time.. as expected.. the posts have grown :D long story short, a quick update on my plans moving to jb... we won't be going thru the plan, at least not now. my wife cannot get over the fact that she needs to wake up even earlier daily for our kids' school, and...

there are many ways to attract foreign talents... not at the expense of locals, who form the base. the strong sing dollar is already a major pull. the rest is just bonus. you see in america and australia, they are also actively attracting talents. but do you see them compromising their...

thanks bro.. no need la.. already satisfied if i can put up post ;)

having singaporeans first is a no-brainer thing to do. why only realize it now (and later even got exposed to be half-hearted)! everywhere else, their politicians may be corrupted, but they don't sell their people out. but what do we see of ours? my feeling now..痛心...

import is the fastest short-cut for the all-important gdp. they just cannot see and understand people are suffering *shake head* imo, use new water for industrial use is fine.. but for drinking? crazy.. i have read somewhere that certain hormones exist inside water cannot be filtered...

been out of touch. but also looking at the exchange rate.. i won't be surprised that S$50k/yr is probably the bare minimum now. my children will be at uni age in another 15yrs.. god knows how much would it shoot up to :*: yes.. jb is a part of the plan.. with all the foreign embracing...

over 15yrs ago, i was there.. when the currency was weaker than/around sg.. together with living expenses, it costed about S$30k annually now annual S$50k perhaps?... just do your math the $$$ required to complete a whole 3-yr non-engineering degree (or 5yr medical degree) :eek: and i got 2...

i am curious.. with all the universities coming into educity, how much would it cost to read, say, a business degree from the university of newcastle? would it cost the same as what one is going to be paying if he were to do it in the uk itself? worst case scenario.. my kids are unable to...

sorry i didn't tell the complete story when i said i didn't choose the unit.. toilet was just one of it, and was not the main concern. the other aspect is the asking price. i asked around. the valuation is usually around/up to 600k. at nearly 700k, the cov is ridiculous. probably like bro...

so far those i encountered are having the same design throughout the floors.. ie. main door at level 1 is located at the same place at level 2, and so on. i've not seen something like main door at level 1 but a toilet at level 2 in the same location. there are a lot of stuff in fengshui...

i read somewhere one should exercise his own due diligence to find out the house's valuation from the banks (i'm not sure how much though). for example, corner terrace houses in hh probably valued up to 600k. more than that, say, 680k means u are actually paying 80k cov (just like hdb). worth...
