I think your idea might be viable but I don't see much benefit. People are using first link because of the lower toll charges. Is spending the money on parking really worth it? I don't know. But I know that you will then have to walk through the custom building and sweat and inhale fumes, rather than enjoy air con and nice music in your car?

Wait, unless u r talking about Malaysia plate?

Anyone parking their car at CIQ and take bus to SG? Can avoid jam when coming back. And per entry parking is RM12.

That is what people call bad fengshui to have toilet above the head.. however so many people living in condo or HDB have toilet above their head still ok.. So Fengshui or no fengshui, as long as one is happy will do.. Likewise living opposit MRT is like living across power station.. Bad fengshui but still ok... Drink man made water is bad fengshui.. hope no problem too..


An old memory was recalled after reading the following. In the early 80's, I invited an American friend to visit my sg home. He brought along his sister who had flown from Houston to visit him in sg. Her comment-- how could you people tolerate others shitting on your head in an apartment block(HDB)?
Of course it was meant to be a joke, by a country gal who never lived in big US cities like NY, LA. But really, even for those folks who live in suburbs, moving to live in a city is stressful, not to mention adding cultural shock on top of that. Moving here is a relief and a wise choice.

Strange.. today I can't access sammyboy unless I tunneled to US.

Anyone experience slowness in access sammyboy or is it being monitored or "managed" by some invisible hand?

Agree.. got to be careful in what we post..

Hi Crystal, if you access from your office, it could be ok because it could be a private or secured line..

Setting sun, casting lingering shadows upon the greying shores
Crashing waves from the tide, flowing in with discarded toys
People leaving, setting sail, some still waiting for that gale.

Sadly, some without a choice, their sorrow without a voice.
Cries unheard, tears unseen, leaving behind festering greed.
Vacating their place, tired of seeing another uncaring face.

Gleeful fly feeding on yet another, people rushing crestfallen.
Nary a smiling brow as they just staggered on with a frown.
Dying preferred to being ill, like a used battery dumped in the fields.

What have we become, where are we going?
Where the promised alpine land once stood, only ruins awaits the
ones that were lost.

The dream that once was is no more, press on, return not back
to the forsaken shore.

A friend just told me they also interested to look for future retirement home in JB. Good to have more and more company.

Hi Narmi,

In the end, was resolved as it turned out to be ok as there was some miscommunication.

Today was a good day, a good closure to a pretty bad couple of weeks. As i am still working through the cold of the night, my heart feels very warm. I am very glad and honoured to have good friends with me. People who called and offer assistance and company. People who tried to help in an unmarked envelope. Thank you so much, very grateful and very honoured.

Helped someone today on some legal matters this week regarding wrongful dismissal, unpaid wages as well as referred her to talk to CPF for the unpaid contribution.

Not a legal expert in any sense, just giving my 2cents worth and to have another pair of eyes on the case.

In the end, based on some of what i said coincidentally worked for the case, its turning out well and in her favour. Specific performance was enforced and judgement given. A sigh of relief.

She is now hesitant on whether to move ahead with the follow up suit against her ex employers, i told her to go ahead regardless as she has a very strong case and the wilful acts her ex employers did was very damaging to her.

Some words to share. :smile:

Money:
Think of it this way, monopoly as a game, everyone knows but its only useful in the game.

What if you leave the game halfway? Whatever you have is useless to you since the money
in monopoly is useless elsewhere and has no value.

Being happy:
In the end, only kindness matters but remember, as with the start of all things,
success, kindness and generiosity begins at home.

Sharing each of these leads to happiness in the end.

Parents:
If you can't be good to those you can see and feel, who cared for and nurtured you, who else
can you be good to? What else are you good for?

Status
You are what you think you are, nothing more, nothing less. If you cannot change the world,
change yourself. Once you change yourself, the world you used to view or perceive would have
changed too.

Good deeds
There has to be someone who will do it, thankless task or not. Doing it and not expecting anything
in return gives one an undaunted heart. Do it without knowing and continue to do what you can to
help others.

any movers to recommend?
shifting from Spore to JB.

Got this info from a blogger's site.

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.

NOTE: You must specify if you need the stuff unloaded and placed in your house.
