So the orange card is debit or credit since you mentioned credit here but debit on the title.

Just bank in money to the POSB card, not so sure how to do it if your in malaysia with a malaysian account. But if you have a singapore account, its just a matter of banking in the money online if you have her bank account number.

Thats if your entering singapore from another country. I am planning to bring back some booze aka wine back to my hometown in malaysia. Last i remembered you can only bring 1 bottle of wine. Coz i brought 2 bottles but kena tax for 1 one of it.

I know someone who got a job there. No formal education but got a job viewing security footage for the gambling tables. Probation around 1800SGD, full time is 2400 SGD not counting OT and other benefits.

I am using M1 mobile broadband and its a mix bag.

And like all MBB's, its very location dependent. If your staying in a HDB area, sure enough the speed will suck not due not to walls screwing your signal strength but the amount of ppl using the MBB as you in your general location.

I had to complain quite a few times to their customer support, in the end the did improve in my residential area and gave me a waiver of 1 month of my monthly subscription as well as a 10 dollar reduction for the next 6 months since they tested my area and found that it indeed was suffering from an over saturation of users. So they most probably had to increase the bandwidth pipeline in my residential area.

My office in bishan is right smack in the middle of landed property so besides getting 4-5 bars, i also get near consistent max speed which is a plus point.

p2p is not blocked by m1 as i know it since i use to once in awhile to download tv shows like top gear or stargate universe. I usually go for video streaming like getmiro.

A tip if your getting a MBB is to try and either get the prepaid version to test out your area to see if its saturated by MBB that the speed is useless pass 7pm, or borrow one from a fren for a day. I believe ang mo kio, toa payoh and jurong east have terrible speeds. I know for a fact that pasir ris are pathetic as well for M1's mobile broadband.

Btw, as a user, i hate it when ppl use ppstream since its well known as the king of "bandwidth blackhole". If your sharing one connection and you got a fella who has pps, you cant goto a webpage.

My post mentioned that speed isnt entirely based on signal strenght but bandwidth capacity for a given area. You maybe near the cell tower and have a signal strength of 4-5 bar but if there are alot of ppl within that area using it.

Your basically like connecting to a wireless connection with 10 ppl using pps and your right next to the wireless router, your bandwidth is being sucked up by so many ppl that signal strength doesnt matter.

Citibank doesnt have a minimum amount last year, donno about this year. I heard for basic savings, UOB has the best interest rate.

There is no standard procedure for allowances since thats upto your company discretion. There is usually no standard as to the amount of allowance a company may give you and asking other peoples exp on this may not be the best gauge of what "you" may expect.

Gotta bite the bullet buddy and discuss with your employer on this issue.

For those who have a mobile with 3G data plan, i just wanted some info on price and service provider network speed and stability coz i am planning to get a 3G phone with a data plan but not sure about which provider to go to.

I may either get an iphone 3GS but i am more interested in the andriod based phone (Google nexus anyone?)

I know the data cap is 12GB across all the telco but hows the data plan coverage?

Is there a big diff between say the telco BBOM and the 3G data plan over your phone? Coz i have an M1 BBOM 4MB plan.

If say i go for singtel 3G data plan, whats the supposed speed over the 3G data network? is it capped at 2Mbps like what mackiddo and if i am in an area where the BBOM isnt very fast, would that affect the 3G data line or are there indenpendent of each other if i were to have both plans from the same service provider.

only idiots try to monopolize a word.

The whole world is now both disgusted and laughing at malaysias stupidity. And the government isnt doing anything to help the situation.

I have a room (actually its my landlords place) but i wouldnt recommend you to stay wif her.

I too will be leaving that place when my contract ends since she is a scrooge with water. Plus you will have to put up her son who doesnt flush the toilet.

I will be looking for a place as well, hopefully not with a landlord.

ISO for quality management system 9001:2008?

The internal audit that i am familiar with is an internal audit for quality management under the ISO since i am an internal auditor for my company. If financial audit then that one has to ask accountant. I just audit workflow process.

I think she is financial auditor, usually goto other company and audit their books and stuff. Internal and external the same thing basically, just know what you are doing and looking for and its a done deal.

A very stressful job where ppl have ridiculous deadlines to meet. Often scarifying their personal time for the work.

Alot of singaporeans wont like it coz it would crash the property market since it would devalue all current property if they have a new land supply.

tell them your unavailable and ask if them if its possible to reschedule. Most HR people shouldnt that inflexible since by the end of the day, they just compile a stack of resumes, new or old and shift through them. They wont blacklist you unless you dont turn at the appointed time and date.

More like "little choice" rather then "personal choice". But thats another story all together.

I have a fren who also works in the audit line and its natural that have to work beyond normal working hours with no compensation. I wonder if the superiors of audit firms purposely provide workloads knowing full well that it is impossible or impractical to finish it during normal working hours, hence you have use your off time to compensate for your task.

Work just to see lenglui? Like this everybody want 2 work in fashion boutiques and model agency.

Who said a job had to be fun, its just a means to an end.

True all companies will abuse you, depends on the degree of the abuse. How about not paying you the OT that you deserve, it isnt fair but some companies to do that while buying themselves a new car or house.
