    Thanks TLPPL and Abugumgum for alerting me. Almost no holds barred now for the MACS applicants. Just have 2 years validity, a photo and RM$30. Apart from the Danga Bay place, both causeways have the facility. At the second link, it is the second floor; at the causeway, park conveniently and...

    I think you are referring to Pasar Tani at Larkin. Super place also for cheap plants, but you really need to get there by 7 am for the widest choice, even though they go on till noon. Vegetables and fruit may be cheaper at Kip Mart. A really good place for a Saturday morning's outing if it...

    Our second contractor, also a swindler, installed the rood minus the layer. He told us that if a leak should occur with that layer in, the water would just trickle down to the lowest level and you would not be able to find out where the leak in the roof actually happened. Please tell me even...

    Analytical Professor "Has anyone noticed that at Causeway nearer to CIQ there is a dedicated lane for MACS. N malaysian passport holders?" In case you miss this lane, go through town, but hug the coast road. After the Danga rides and slides is the Iskandar set of offices, marked by the very...

    Read this letter to the Forum page of the ST dated 21 July, apropos of the war against dengue. Quote: "The Housing Board should limit each family to two plants along the corridor. The plants are not only breeding grounds for mosquitoes, but also a nuisance to neighbors as they attract other...

    By the way, what is popular also is multiples of Tshirts with outdated logos or messages eg given for free for a company outing. The two homes have male staff who do heavy work, so these are very useful for them as they wear out fast and the workers do not have to buy their own. Any colour...

    Good people, I am organizing for a lorry to come in on Thursday that will be carrying in donated used furniture in very good condition: this is for Rajamanikam's shelter for really badly disabled children and adults at Saleng and Noah's Ark for abandoned animals in Ulu Choh. The Bali Babes...

    Then don't you truly have the best of both worlds, Singapore and Johor? Actually, isn't it even better than that? Meaning that if you are staying in Johor most of the time, your cost of living is waaay down and the savings can be blown when the competitive streak goes rampant and you head to...

    It is not to say that Raymund operates in a vacuum. He's been at this for 20+ years [that alone is a wonder!] and has a committee in Singapore who are dedicated and hard working. STILL fund raising is a huge difficulty, as all charities face, while his front line activities I don't think anyone...

    Hi TLPPL Nusajaya prices have gone through the roof, both sale and rental. If you are looking to rent a house - semi-D or terrace - look at Gelang Patah, Perling and Bukit Indah, where you may still find these at between RM$500 - $1000 a month. Singaporeans who are of the same mind are already...

    The move of Noah's Ark out from Singapore is a long and sorry tale. Malu for Singapore. Raymund the founder of Noah's Ark is a glorious eccentric, now with 850 dogs and 500 cats, a three legged monkey, some horses and a growing number of rabbits and the odd rescue of a civet cat, some discarded...

    Palms cause the least amount of leaf droppings. Pines are next - which is why Singaporeans who have no time/energy for constant maintenance select palms and pines. This is a huge green improvement on putting concrete over everything to be washed down with water. The HDB made all sorts of...

    Perhaps I lost most of my geely feeling about worms when my father and other male members of the clan praised me for spitting on the sand at Changi and digging up sea-sand worms for them to go fishing with - I was never a tomboy, so this was high praise for me. AP sweetie, earthworms are...

    There are two types of worms, far as I can tell - earth worms, which I cannot find anyone to supply [there were some for RM$5 in the fish shop wriggling around in a plastic container of black earth - I bought two and released them and never saw them again - hope they made it! The other is a...

    Sorry - may have been too cheem and detailed. Speaking to a Prof what, so cannot anyhow chin chye reply. Short form: Add a little lime and coarse sand to the clay soil, plus lots of organic material. Dig in like crazy [hire two happy grunts to dig on their day off]. Be patient and for each...
