Hi you guys,
my name is Kenn and I'm a Singaporean currently residing in Singapore. My company will be relocating me over to HCM starting from the 1st of September 2011 and I'll be based there for around 2 years. Thankfully, I won't be alone as my partner will be coming along with me.

I'm currently liaising with several housing agents to find a suitable 2 or 3 bedroom apartment over at Sky Garden 1 or 2 in D7 and will be making a trip there either in the last week of July or the first week of August to view the available apartments and to book it.

I've obtained loads of useful information from the friendly expats in here and am looking forward to taking the plunge. Hope I'll get to meet some of you guys over there real soon!

Cheers,
Kenn
