    Gotcha,I was thinking of staying near JB sentral too- 1. to test out actual future travel route 2. makes more logical travel sense for us. Our main deterrence is that CIQ woodlands causeway seems more unpredictable than Tuas causeway. Can recommend some projects for rent near woodlands...

    gotcha. I think there are a few options to do this besides OSCAR. Some options like diverting mails from Singapore address to overseas address- but that costs $$ and not cheap. I may adopt a hybrid approach instead as I want to keep address on NRIC. etc.. opting out paper statements for...
