most of those Android and iPhone programmer have to work in India. Not much of that demand in SG though. Mayb there are but those big company that do iPhone programming usually have their programmers in India.

not sure about bit torrent, but last time i signed M1 for 1 week, everytime i on my P2P (using Thunder5) on the mobile broadband, my PC will come out blue screen.
but i tried with the Singtel line, no prob. so definitely is smth to do with M1 mobile broadband. i complain complain then they still wan to bill me $20++ for the 1 week i used. curse them.

I am driving back from JB to KL on 4th Feb midnight and coming back to JB on the 13th Feb midnight. coz midnight can get 10% discount for toll and less traffic. anyone wanna join me? i can send u into Singapore if u need .

even if u compare KL vs SG, the speed in KL is way lower compare to SG. my DL can run around 80kb/s in KL (streamyx 1mb line) but the same torrent can run around 500-600kb/s using Singtel 10mb line. Now in JB, i am using P1wimax. running around 120kb/s using 1.2mb line. but the freaking data cap is killing me. i used up 12GB out of my available 20GB in 3 days.

Not sure if any of you here stay in JB, but just to share with you all, the causeway new bridge is open already. so now from Malaysia CIQ to Woodlands Checkpoint got no jam at all in the morning. I am referring to car la. if take motorcycle like me. u need to queue around 20 mins to cross the Singapore immigration, then no more jam. so my travel time is around 70mins a day now compare to 90 mins previously. (because i am staying quite far in JB, near Tebrau city Jusco).

hehe good, mine telling which company u are working for?? i go MOM report u .

I got a friend that got an offer already and will be coming to work next month as well. she got no news about her EP until now. hope it won't get rejected since she is doing sales engineer as well.

that is really weird, what pass you are trying to apply? i only have STPM and can get S Pass without any issue. STPM from a SMK school can get S Pass but a degree from UTAR can't get??

icic, if u are planning to change Mac, let me know ya~~ i help u buy

my kangtao is confirm cheaper than Malaysia retail price, but no free gift lo since i am buying online from Apple store. so its actually a choice between $$ or free gifts.

will go back KL for christmas. u need us to help u buy stuff izzit?

going in is $0.50 and going out another $0.50. For Malaysia Side, if not mistaken, going in and out also RM1.60.

not so sure for Tuas la. now i travel daily using woodlands. VEP $4 daily. Petrol is the most concerning part. i need to pump 1 full tank every 2 days. RM12. So my daily travel fees is around $7-$8 already. its not really that cheap. but the travel time is not really that scary as well. I leave my house at 6:30am. go ta pao breakfast at taman pelangi. normally i reach office around 7:50am. my office in in AMK.1 thing that i dun like is i need to sacrifice the 10mbps internet connection when i am staying in SG. but overall, i get to enjoy traveling with own transport. can bring my car from KL and park it in my JB house so that i can drive back KL once a month. So overall, if i were given the choice to choose to stay in SG or JB, i will still choose JB

I am using woodlands. i stay in tebrau city area. so if u use Tuas, i think it will be much faster since u won't be stuck on the immigration queue. lets put it this way. from my house to woodlands check point is around 15-20mins. then i will stuck on the Singapore immigration for around 20-30mins depends on the queue (so load more movies into your iPhone, i always watch drama when i am on the queue ), then travel another 10-15 mins from Woodlands to AMK. So if u use 2nd link, i think u can deduct the 20-30mins wait time in the immigration as i heard from my friend that there is no traffic jam in 2nd link. regarding petrol. i am traveling around 80KM per day (40KM from my house to office). 1 full tank(RM12) can go around 180KM. I am using a scooter (Modenas Elegan 200), so will consume more fuel. if u are riding EX5, RM6 fuel can go around 120-130KM (I know because my bro got a EX5 in KL). Another piece of advise, if u plan to use Woodlands, Please don't buy a big size bike like mine (regret already although its nice to ride) cause when u are in the queue, the bulky bike makes you hard to squeeze in and also might get scratch in the body. (my bike is 2 weeks old and i already have around 5-6 scratch mark because when wan to squeeze in, got the scratches from the divider.

Regarding working part time, all foreign worker needs a permit to work in Singapore. If u are talking about working for 1-2 months during ur school holidays, then forget about it. coz the employer would not waste so much time to apply work permit for you and also train you on the job.

brand new EX5 cost u around RM3.9k (kick start) and RM4.2k (electric starter). But if u are using the 2nd link, i will advise u to get a bigger bike as EX5 is very floaty when go at high speed and the road in 2nd link is really straight and high way all the time. you also don't have to squeeze with other bikers if u are using 2nd link. Why not consider getting a Singapore bike? you can save on the $4 VEP if u are riding a Singapore bike. regarding driving into Singapore. the VEP is $20 a day. so its a big no no for me. but u will get 10 VEP free days a year. So i will bring my car to JB and will drive in if that particular day is raining heavily, of course its mainly because my company got free parking, if ur company got no free parking, then you don't have to think about it coz even parking at HDB car park, its $1 per hour.

to ride a SG bike in SG, u need to have a SG driving license. but riding a Malaysian bike you don't need that. illegal parking fine is $75, so good luck and hopefully u din get one. you can get a Honda CBF150. not that big and not that small either. In Malaysia, its selling around RM9k. not sure about the price in SG.

anyone driving back since so many people going back on Chrismas eve. I will also be going back on Chrismas eve. mayb we can car pool?

I will be bringing my car down to JB after christmas, after that, i will travel back once a month. so if u wanna car pool with me, let me know.

Coz i moved to JB already, getting tired of Singapore life liao. So i will park my car in my JB home. I will be going back this 23rd Dec by bus and drive my car down on the 2 Jan 2011.

Just to share with people over here, if you are planning to get a iPad, get is in Malaysia (JB City Square). Price for iPad is a lot cheaper in Malaysia compare to Singapore. 16GB wifi is selling $728 but they are selling RM1549 in Malaysia. Its even cheaper than buying in US.

Hi Lester, do you drive into JB daily? Or taking public transport? The new bridge in MY is opened for the going into SG. It does reduce 10 to 15 mins of traveling daily according to my friend.

i come in to SG daily by bike. The reason i bring my car to JB is for my weekend use and also for my monthly travel to KL. even i am on bike, the new bridge did save up about 15-20 mins of my time. coz now we don't have to jam inside the malaysia immigration building already. will only queue on the Singapore immigration side for about 20-30mins. So load more Anime into your iPhone. Normally after watching 1 episode. i can pass the Check point d .

Regarding the Christmas gathering. I will be going to Genting either on Christmas eve or New year eve. So will be sitting on Highlands Hotel Starbucks to enjoy the fireworks and also the cooling weather that we can't get in SG.
