want to go to jb by bus

is it best to go to woodlands north station then take bus from there?

want go paradigm mall. what are the better hotels to stay there for 1 night

thanks

From JB sentral, take bus T30, T31, T32, read the sign board for confirmation. You have to alight opposite Paradigm Mall then take the bridge to cross over.
Hotel only 1, Hyatt Place. There are 2 condo with many airbnb, Paradigm Residence and The Platino.

My family drove me to my desired private hospitals.
I prefer Columbia hospital at Bukit Indah more than Medini Gleneagles hospital.

Curious about your experience of private hospital services in JB. Can share more why you prefer Columbia ? Gleneagles has a branded reputation but will be interesting to hear about other places too.

1. Msian healthcare is almost fully subsidised. Unless you are sinkie or robert, ppl wont go to private.
2. Broken leg, broken hip, completely can't move. Idk how most ppl here will have family members to drive them to their preferred private clinic.

Ball, everywhere has corruption.
有人的地方就有鬼。
What I mean is don’t need to be too work
Out on issues that are beyond our control.
Learn to close one eye.
Don’t need to speak out strongly against any issues as it doesn’t do you any good.
As you age, your life experiences and thinking has to change and mature.
In many things must always: 看破不说破。
Then you have truly “arrived” / mature

You try bribing a msian public officer vs sg public officer. See how differently things happen lol.
No need be like our mod pretend kopi money is not common in msia.

Last but not least, I hope I can convince you to change to NOT to be too “brutally honest” when the honesty will hurt others or harmony.

No need so nice against these kind of ppl. Want to say someone but don't dare to say it to them directly, yet resort to such means to have their opinion heard. Feel sad for him.

My In patient stay twice was Precoid .
Only caused me a few grands in Rm
For a single bed room.
The A&E doctor was an Indian.
He was attentive and so were the nurses.
They volunteered the wheelchair to help me as I felt dizzy, high blood pressure was exceedingly high.
My attending doctor in my stay was a Chinese specialist.
He checked on me frequently even returned on weekends to check on my condition which I didn’t ask for but appreciated his kindness and willingness to go the extra mile though I was billed for it.
During lock down, I returned to sg.
They did WhatsApp to check on me for missing the follow up.
This service touches me deeply.
I had to inform the KKH of my late sis in law passing when I was there for my appointment.
They didn’t bother whether she is still alive
After she switched to the famous Dr Ang.

my late sis in law initially was cured of her breast cancer at KKH and recommended KKH to me as My comprehensive medical Checkup at Raffles Hospital found some “mass coming together”.
The KKH doctor sent me for 2 more mammograms after the Raffles Hospital one. All these 3 were done within a few months.
See Y I said my experience with sg hospitals / doctors were disastrous!

Precovid, I did try Medini Gleneagles but prefer Columbia for the more personal touch of service. At Gleneagles everything is about $$$

One of the agents shared that her client paid
Many ten of thousands of Rm for some surgery at Gleneagles Medini.

If you choose Medini Gleneagles, better to stay in sg pte hospital. To me, it is extremely expensive

Try Kulai

Pretty far

 

[Meemoosaa]

Pretty far

I think it's not worth to go to kulai just for the ku chai kueh la but it's an interesting place outside of JB to check out when you have time.

You can always take the CW buses to Johor Premium Outlet (JPO), check out the area for some shopping and then take a grab from JPO to Kulai ( 8 mins away only!).

Alternatively, just take a grab from JB itself directly to Kulai. Grab fare is quite reasonable if there are a few of you to split the bill.

Thanks for your sharing, indeed many Indian doctors
I like the personal touch of whatsapp and frequent visiting.
SG doctors less visiting.
I went to SG Gleneagles ENT specialist clinic, also have personal touch of whatsapp but very ex.

2 days ago, I started feeling a bit giddy at midnite.

Last nite too felt giddy until this morning.
After breakfast, the giddiness was gone.

So I went to make appointment for my tcm massage as I was at Bedok central vicinity.

By noon, I felt the giddiness came back and told them I wanted to cancel the appointment.
The lady who always do the massage for me told me that my giddiness was due to the blockages in my acu points and insisted I should go ahead.
I did and am glad she is right and good.
Now I m free from giddiness.

It was true that my blood circulation has always been problematic with absolutely Zero exercise.
