Just for the sake of clarification, assuming I'll be arriving at Changi airport from Australia before crossing the causeway back to JB on the same day, would I have any issues or whatsoever at Woodlands checkpoint with the aforementioned duty-free hard liquor (assuming I have no problems clearing the custom at Changi)? This is my first time coming back via Singapore so I'm kind of not too sure how it works there.

Also, I would appreciate if anyone is kind enough to give some information on how strict is the Singaporean Custom in the airport, as in would they check your bags thoroughly like what the Aussie do?

So u mean u going to bring the hard liquor to Malaysia from Australia thru Singapore??
You should worry about Malaysia custom right?
Singapore custom check your baggage with the X-ray when you coming into Singapore, but not when you are going out.
Malaysia custom only allow you to buy 1 L of duty free liquor, when you arrive by AIR. I don think you get Duty free Liquor when you going into Malaysia by bus / car.. Ppl would hide inside their bag, and whether they will check your bag or not.. is depend on your luck.

I've been to JB only once for shopping/makan/jalan-jalan. It was very early on after I came to Singapore... when someone told me it made sense to earn in SG and spend in JB.

Seriously, I felt in JB exactly what I feel in Jakarta or Manila. That it's not very safe to look & act like a foreigner, to have any money in your pocket and walking around without a local companion. Just feels like everyone's either going to rob me or stab me... or both.

I have never been back since, and never intend to go back. JB may be part of Malaysia, but it feels like a mix between a cowboy town and an overcrowded slum, sprinkled with some fancy new buildings.

If you're going to Ipoh, only Firefly flies direct from SIN to IPH.

I've tried flying SIN-KUL LCCT and take the coach from LCCT to Ipoh... torture. I rather pay a bit more and fly direct.

These days, I take the 2.30pm flight from SIN Budget Terminal on Friday and touch down in IPH at 4pm. Back home, showered and ready for action at 4.30pm. It's great.

debbieyss interest to come work in Sg ?

Finally i am back in Singapore after so many years left here.

Its jervois road man, i just went to renew my passport few months ago.  U can tell the taxi driver that u are going to the high comm he should know it.

Live comfortably... ok.

Rental: 1500 for a 2 bedroom HDB, but with 2 kids, you'd probably want 3 bedrooms, so 1800-2000 depending location. If you want the facilities like a pool & gym, 2500 or so for private condo.

Utilities: 200 per month for electricity, water and gas. And 300 for 2 phone lines, 1 home broadband and cable tv.

Food: family of 4... let's say, 300 a week on groceries and 2 nice dinners on the weekend for 150 per dinner. So, around 1800... let's say 2000 including treats and special events etc.

Transport: with 2 kids and a comfy lifestyle, you need a car. Take a reliable Korean 1.6L with a 5 year loan, let's say 1500 per month, all inclusive ie. instalment, road tax, insurance, ERP, petrol, maintenance and parking.

Shopping.... entirely up to you lah. But let's say 500 per month for toiletries, cosmetics, health supplements, diapers whatever. And another 500-1000 for gadgets, laptops, clothes, shoes, handbags, toys, movies, theme parks etc.

Then add another 200-300 a month towards a sinking fund for any emergencies, large purchases, holidays, school excursions etc.

So, all in all... around 7K a month. Pretty realistic, I think. If your kids go to private schools, then another 1500-2500 per month each.

Majority of the MNC in SG and certain local company will have half day leave on Xmas and New Year eve as well. Unfortunately my current employer does not practice this although it is a MNC company. 

you know what? the cheapest option is...

make calls at Kranji via your MY mobile... consider as local call rate. I know some friends doing that... every night just take MRT to Kranji and chat chat on the phone

Which channel? Starhub maybe?
