Re: New Causeway toll! By right and to be absolutely safe, you should apply for an international driving permit when driving a MY registered car in MY. To buy a MY car, you can use your SG driving licence as proof though.

Re: Kitchen Cabinet Actually, many carpentry shops also use chipboard/particle board as their main raw material. You can opt for plywood but that has to be stated and the cost will be higher but it will definitely be more durable. There is water resistant plywood as well that you can choose but...

This is a great link, thanks for sharing. Have been caught out in long jams on 2nd Link as it shows clear on the SG side but the MY side was heavily backed up. This will help a lot!

This is a rare individual you have come across. Most people wouldn't intentionally block the driveway unless the property is unoccupied? You should take photos of the occurrences and bring it up to the HH customer service office. My neighbour has 4 cars but they are accommodating and courteous...

That is a lovely photograph. I am assuming it was taken from the Legoland Tower?

He is referring to 7.62mm rounds from SAR and GPMG :)

For Euro 4 or 5 continental diesel vehicles, I believe the particulate filter on the car can be removed to accept pump diesel grade but do check with the sales person if this is true. In MY, since RON95 is subsidized, I say just buy a petrol car :)

That's a strange way to love your countrymen, at the expense of personal capital gains :) I never belittle or look down on those who purchase units here. In fact, I hope the prices remain reasonable so that those who really want to have a home in JB are not priced out of the market by...

That is why I stated "on personal grounds". I am extremely traditional/conservative since I also don't subscribe to car/renovation/credit card loans. Which probably explains why I am not up-to-the-times and nor a happening chap :D

Are you referring to the chance to buy in SG or in JB? I have no means to pay for a SGD40mil bungalow, heck even a SGD1mil HDB flat which is why I am here in JB coupled with other factors as well. Regardless I am not bothered if the property rises in value since I am treating it as a home and...

I think it will depend on the individual guard's enforcement. See heng suay or not I guess...

It does make perfect sense for expatriates (likely senior/upper management only) to buy and live here in JB and commute to SG since they will enjoy greater utility for the price. My concern is the herd instinct/mentality of Singaporeans on reading such published articles and flood the market...

Have some friends who have gone and gave the theme park a solid 2 thumbs up. Only issues are: 1. Hot. So advice is to wear hat and sunglasses, bring umbrella, keep hydrated 2. Cannot bring in own water bottles The Lego Water Theme Park is due to open next year followed by the Legoland Hotel...

Well, as in anything, live within your means and do not spend future money as much as possible.

That's what I heard as well. Trader's Hotel at Puteri Harbour will be opened during the same period too.

Re: Need some design advice on grills. From what the previous owner told me, the walls had been re-painted twice since the house was completed. You are right that interior wall paint will last longer since they are not subjected to the elements but if done properly and maintained well...

^^Was really a heavy downpour this morning which resulted in me oversleeping :D

Re: Need some design advice on grills. The two commonly used paint brands here is Nippon and ICI Dulux. The issue is not with the paint brand but rather the surface preparation/treatment before painting. I am now in the midst of DIY re-painting of my front facade as the paint has bubbled...

The blackout lasted from 3 till 6am :) The last time it happened was in end August on a Saturday morning from 10+am till 12pm or so.

I fear Nusajaya will end up like SG at the rate prices keep escalating. Good for those who came in early, bad for those queuing at the gates. Already I have been informed of unhappiness by locals on the way prices are being driven skyward due to property speculators/flippers (not only from SG...
