If I need to buy anti itch cream from JB, any recommended brand?
Since Suu Balm is more expensive, so AMPM Pharmacist in Sept 2024, recommended me this, "Why pay more etc etc?"

But I've yet to try as my Suu Balm hasn't finished yet.

The above Suusof, I suspect is only available at AMPM Pharmacies.

It has also Ceramide, same as Suu Balm

Nowadays seems difficult to find soursop...
Saw fruit seller outside the small hawker at jalan kemuning taman melodies, but only sell custard apple, no soursop...

Whampoa fruits shop confirms has the soursop.
Occasionally, Geylang Bahru and Bendemeer fruits shops will also carry it but will be very expensive.

I have come across many advertisements and agents listings to sell / lease properties outside Horizon hills as horizon hills properties as horizon hills is very very much sought after.

If you guys are interested in Horizon hills, go directly to the sales office over at Horizon hills club house to learn more.

As for resale, make sure the properties are truly on hill top and the various precincts from my recollection are as follows:
Gateway
Golf East
Golf west
The hills
The green
Canal south
Canal north
The cove
Valley west
The woodlands
The peak
Etc?

To my best knowledge, The peak is the last remaining precinct to sell after which there is no more land on horizon hills top to build.
Yesterday went there to eat at PMX, finally know what are all these words mean :LOL: btw PMX at Horizon Hills standard drop alot, only chicken feet and the fried prawns are good, the rest not so good, even the coffee also not good. Chang Man still good

Some people mentioned Kang Sheng TCM. Is it good?
I went a few times liao, Good or not you go then know. Other ppl didn't go yet give comment, strange ppl.
How to know a TCM doctor is good or not. Let him/her feel and listen to your pulse, don't tell you problem first, they will tell you what is your problem, if correct, mean they are good. Then come medicine, after taking is it effective?
I visit room 3 doc, so far very effective. Price not cheap. Open on Sat and Sun.

I only went to Horizon Hills PMX no more than 3 times as I find it is not to my liking. Still prefer Chang man anytime.

You must try Haike kopi Gao Gao.
A few sips will Send you to the moon de 😂

I think this is the same 10 ingredients popiah that i ate on Saturday.
no longer home-based preorder, now is a stall at alisan restaurant near KSL.
on weekend, 11am+ usually sold out already.
I did a Check on the ingredients listed.
It isn’t authentically Hokkien popiah.
The genuinely Hokkien popiah has many types of veggies.
My close relatives make genuine Hokkien popiah that will roll out into a humongous popiah.

Make remarks about me but don't dare to quote me, strange ppl.

I didn't give any comment about this tcm in question, just recommended to go tcm in sg since we are more familiar with local regulations, which are alrdy rather strict.

And also from personal experience, johor healthcare system is a colossal shtshow. If you wanna engage in non-scientific, placebo-based tcm treatment, it's better to do so in sg where emergency services are up to standard, yknow, incase botched treatments need send to a&e.

You can check sg tcm practitioner credentials and registration here:
