Anywhere that you all like. I think after a while, home is the best place to hang out and get as much sleep as possible! hehe.....

Is there anyone commute via public transport through/flow from JB/SG daily either via Tuas or Woodlands?

How long does it takes to commute one way from:
1.Woodlands
2.Tuas

There is a bus from Gelang Patah straight to Jurong East then eh. We do not need to board the bus at Bukit Indah?

Speaking about Gelang Patah, what are the prices of properties over there. Seems a lot of Expat working in Singapore stays there. I will be visiting that place this coming weekend...hehehe

Unfortunately not. I read that it is mandatory to contribute to the CPF.

You mean the Condo/Houses in Gelang Patah and not Singapore, right?

Oops sorry, did not see your last posting. Is there a shortcut or something like that to get to JB? Just curious, any amenities around Gelang Patah such as Jusco or Tesco?

What I did last time was to carry load of cash.. unfortunately. Just get ready 1 Month Deposit + First Month Rent + 1/2 Month Rent to Agent. For example, if you room is SGD400, then bring along SGD1000. Normally it's cash dealing as far as i know.

From my experience, if you like a place, and if you dont book it first, then someone else might come and grab it. It's normally based on first come first serve basis.

Yeah I did give my EP photocopies to the agent so that they can help to submit the forms, etc for processses with the HDB. Nevertheless I believe you might get your Pass a while longer if you just got a job in SG.

I should thank you for sharing with me the information. Hahaha.. i am planning to move back to Johor. However, would prefer to look at something nearer to Tuas rather than Woodlands.

You mean even if we from West Malaysia withdrew our PR, we will not be able to withdraw our CPF monies? What about when we reach 55?

Well, I think if you have the provisional EPass Web printout, then you can show them first. This is what I did. Maybe others might may have different documents to show.

Continue with the Prepaid if you really dun want to tie down yourself for two years.

It also depends on your convenience. Some companies may even have a certain Bank's ATM in their building. Of course, due to this, it is the most convenient to open an account with that bank.

Any suggestions on where to buy good 2nd handphone? Or am I asking too much? :-p

Added on August 6, 2010, 3:22 pmSo far I have no problem with the agent. The only thing is that you will have to be careful with them. Some do recommend you some really weird place and pressure you to sign up. Giving reason if you don't a lot of people are waiting, etc. Also I am not sure if they do jack up the price of the place or not. I have a friend whose agent ask him to sign for 2 years!!!! so the agent can get a grand nice juicy one month fees from both side!

You can try to bargain. I see a lot of forummers here did some bargaining. :-). No harm trying your luck right.

Hi folks, just curious, is there an express bus from CIQ all the way to Bugis that cost $2.40? How long does it take to get there?

Hi folks, just want to check with you if anyone knows where can buy ipad somemore aa... the 313 ran out of stock dy...

Thanks for the information. Will go and have a look over there.

I have the Singtel SGD39 plan (100mins + 12GB Data) as I use the data to communicate with my family back home either via Skype or MSN. So I think you need to find the plan that suites your usage.

Going to Johor and spend a few days there! All the buses are filled up for the 9th Sept to KL....

Good that you are going back. Have a nice holiday!
