Under what category can retirees, or those who want to retire, to get PR there ?
Is the promotion still on ?
Just want to go there and retire, maybe buy a wineyard or ranch, or do something more exciting than f**K (which is alrewady quite sexciting).
What is your definition of "excitement"?
Oh dear! There goes another nice neighborhood.
The NIGHTMARE begins.
These S'poreans will buy or build MONSTER houses, fixed Window Grills on every window. Destroy their lawns and tile every square metre of greenery with ceramic or teracotta tiles. Bring all their KIASU/KIASI attitudes and try to change NZ into another S'pore (the very place they wanted to get away from)

Haha, I remembered when we moved into this nice suburb, wifey is not please with windows and doors, I asked why? She doesn't like the security. Weeks later I installed a security system.. She still prefers the window grilles.. Haha. I can't change the sinkie mentality despite 5 hrs here....The NIGHTMARE begins.

I was thinking things over... thousands may have registered their "interest" but how many will actually take the plunge?
My estimate is around 10 families. The rest of the thousands will have created some excuse for themselves... parents too old, kids too young, earning too much or too little, just got promoted, waiting to be retrenched, waiting for SG home prices to go up further, waiting for NZ dollar to drop.. SGD to go up etc etc etc. I've heard them all.
plus "dun have roti prata, chai tow kuay, mee siam" etc type of excuse....
Cold? You gotta be kidding! I'm sitting in 30℃ Auckland heat as I type this.
Mr Sam, you want to meet me one day?

Singapore women NEVER change (really vomit blood) their SG mindsets. Inform your SG wife that FIXED window grilles are a DEATH TRAP because NZ houses are build mainly of timber with perhaps brick or stone cladding on the exterior.
Every support beam in the house is made up of TIMBER material. Should a fire start in any part of the house for whatever reasons, the whole house could be engulfed in flames very quickly, getting out of the house within 2 minutes is PARAMOUNT. Didn't she watch the TV advert teaching even young children to get out on their own in a fire. There is NO time for parents to go from bedroom to bedroom rescuing their children!
Opening a window and climbing out of the bedroom could be the only means of escape.
Actually grills make sense when you live in flats because you want to make sure toddlers & maids don't fall out of windows
Why would toddlers and maid fall out of the window? The original reason why grilles were installed were due to spate of house-breakings that occurred in the 70s when designs had the long corridors and both parents had to work. Culprits would walk along the corridor and try their luck.
Overzealous chaps decided that if the grill is needed for the front exposed window might as well install to everything that is called a window or a balcony even it is on the 36th floor.

So in the end you still installed the grill? Yes, its a very difficult process, when i first came here, I still have the sinkie mentality that we need grill for the house we rent, its not safe to leave your window open at night etc etc. After 15 years, I leave my door open at night now. Wahahahahahah funny that it feels safer here then in Sinkieland where you get reports of all these "violents" "robberies" happening.
