Hi guys,

Sorry la I cut n paste my questions kat bawah ni. Malas nak type again :). Kalau boleh, appreciate you guys advise. I'll be moving over in 2 months or so (around end Sep). Preparing now while still in KL. I'm sure I have more Qs later, tapi for now, sekadar ni cukup la. TQ banyak2.

------------------------------

I'm sure my questions are not new to most but would appreciate first hand feedback. Thanks in advance for the advises.

I will be relocating to Doha in 2 months or so for employment purposes. My questions are...

1. Housing. Looking for 1 or 2 bedrooms fully furnished serviced apartment in a good neighborhood with good amenities surrounding the area within walking distance (eg, banks, supermarkets, gym, restaurants, malls etc). Where will be the best location to start hunting for this... closest to the above requirement as possible.

***Edit for Malaysian group - I'm referring to places cam PJ ke, Sunway ke... places like this la. Tapi I plan to get a good condo cam Tamarind kat Sentul East. Ada tak?***

2. I'm planning to spend about 120k QAR on a car for city driving (work to home and back, around the city during off days). My ideal will be a SUV type like CRV or Murano. (a) Can this budget accomodate my plan to get a SUV? (b) Is it advisable to get a SUV?

***Edit for Malaysian group - driving routine I cam kat KL je. No plan nak gi gurun driving la. Sekadar opis/rumah/gym/shopping... gitu. So kereta apa suit I kat sana?***

3. Gym. Looking for a bodybuilding gym with full free weights, weight machines including cardio machines. Any recommendations?

***Edit for Malaysian group - Kalau kat Malaysia, it will be gym like Fitness First. Ada tak cam tu kat sana? I need my gym everyday. Else I mampus.***

Thanks and hope someone can guide me to prepare for my relocation.

Cheers...
Ste
