just to add on, remember to get the NAME CARD OF THE AGENT which will also show the company the agent works for!
*
Would also wanna add on, do not rely on the standard tenancy agreement given by the agent, words used are usually ambiguous and is not comprehensive enough to cover every matter. Re-draft it if you are comfortable in using legal terms, otherwise have someone knowledgeable enough to look at it before signing. Also, make sure the agent signs on the tenancy agreement as witness to landlord and tenant.

No way! Tried the Goodwood Park, not as nice as 4 seasons. 4 seasons is 100% pure durian fillings tongue.gif

4 Seasons durian mooncake skin was like an inch thick! OK, i exaggerated, but its so thick that I can taste the flour. SUCKS!

Fortunately the only thing i encountered was an inconsiderate grandma who wouldnt give her grocery seat to another elderly person, after the other elderly woman politely asked if she could take the grocery seat.

Couldn't understand what she's saying except for some obvious profanities.

Thats the problem with these people, they just cant let go. They have to push their agenda on you with expletives and have 2 win the argument at all cost. Their like the real life version of internet trolls.

Haha, usually middle management want 2 please their company overlords so have to work like dog and push their subordinates like dogs as well. Doing it on occasion is one thing, making it a habit is another whole can of worms.

Not really, im using m1 mobile broadband and i can download torrents with reasonable speeds before 7pm and on weekends. But now i cant download shit, the torrents are completely blocked off.

I used this tool Glasnot to check if my isp is shaping and it seems m1 is doing it more proactively then before.

I cant even download and watch my IPTV anymore which unfortunately uses the torrent protocol to distribute its weekly shows.

I guess i just use my companys net connection. Ps: Corporate lines dont suffer residential lines traffic shaping rules.

Consider VPN perhaps?

I'm still getting full speed with Singtel.

My friend tried to swipe his Maybank Debit card b4 in Changi Airport and transaction reject. According to my fellow colleague, Maybank Debit Card does not allow foreign transaction. so the card is only meant to be use in Malaysia only. Not sure how true is it though.

I have seen a couple trying to use the same debit card at departmental store, failed as well.

That brings back memories.

So, what do they have against Malaysian meat and poultry? Even KFC from JB is not allowed in.

eating breakfast in singapore very boring. I prefer lunch or dinner for bigger meals.

Singapore doesnt have american or british style breakfast, as large as a lunch meal.

The only place in singapore i can get a real american breakfast is on a jackup rig or drilling ship stationed in singapore waters.

Anybody got any lubang to buy cheap ps3 games? Just won a ps3 console.

How about Wild Honey at Mandrin Gallery?

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.

Only that particular version or the rest of it as well?
