I will most probably be going to Singapore by next month. Anybody got contact for nice cheap single room (or, who wants to share room with me)? Looking around West or North area.

not entirely true. there's a lot of nice food in Sg, you just have to know where to look. Normally on my off day i'll drive around looking for nice food.

about looking for a room, what are the chances of getting a landlord that can give stay without advance payment if only starting job at singapore?

You are looking for a room too? maybe we can team up.

Depends on landlord...last time my landlord is kind enough to only take my 1st month rental. I told him its my first job in Singapore and he said its okay, the 1 mth deposit i can pay to him next month after I get my first paycheck. I guess you can check with your landlord b4 signing agreement.

ur chances are 0%. even the place i staying is my best friends aunty house, still need to pay 1 month advance and 1 month deposit. thats the normal law. its consider good that they did not ask for 2 months deposit instead.

well the key word is drive

hei...i from melaka.......and i hv Diploma in Hotel Management....
i hv an offer from one japanese restaurant as waiter...should i work there?
anyone know hotel line jobs in sg? How was it?

I'm still pondering on the possibility of staying in JB and commuting daily at least for the first month coz i dun really have that much money to begin with. Goodluck with your room hunt! The websites shown at the first page is really helpful. I actually found some places at Eunos area. Might be staying there once JB becomes unbearable. LOL.

its very hard to find rooms without agent...they are swamping most of the sites with their ads, which are sometimes pointless and advertise other irrelevant properties as well.

i have been doing this for past 3 months...

where are u going to work? i would strongly suggest to stay in Gelang Patah

Nice to hear directly from somebody that actually does it. Please share your experience with me. If your not comfortable here then at least PM me. Would like to know the details on how to get about this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've googled it. So that place is near the second link. I'm actually working further below at Eunos area but that doesn't matter because I think getting across to Singapore is the real problem. Once I'm in should be a breeze to reach my destination.

So how do you travel? Car, bike or public transport? I would like to bring my bike(just a cheap modenas) in since that is the only vehicle I have. What do you think of that and if that is plausible, how do I get around doing it. I read that I need to get an AutoPass. There was something about the insurance. Is the normal insurance I get with the road tax enough?

I would strongly suggest if u were going to travel by bike, take 2nd Link instead of causeway. 2nd Link is much more breeze and less jam compare to causeway.

I travel by bus, from Gelang Patah to Jurong East MRT. It takes about 30-40 minutes.

may i know what r the long term plan for malaysians who work in singapore?

work there for life time?

work there then save alot come back?

work there for some time then migrate to other countries?

depends. I will work here as long as i got a job here. Will only go back to Malaysia if Singapore dun want me anymore.
after retirement might consider to go back to Malaysia since its cheaper to live there.
another reason that will make me come back will be the day that all race will be treated equally.

but those work in singapore come bec malaysia work salary will be lower alot..can accept ar?

all the race treated equally? haha..quite imposible unless another party rules the country or malaysia taken over by foreign country.haha..

hi all..i am finally in sg..today is my 2nd day working here~...bz bz bz...haha...overall is ok..

Even another party rules the country, still have the bumi thing which cannot be abolish. So like u said, most probably i won't go back if Singapore willing to offer me a PR or my company doesn't retrench me. saying that is just to make myself look more "cham" in the eyes of Singaporean that we are discriminated there and we like you coz u don't discriminate us and we will loyal to you

the m1 iphone plan..my company got corporate rate which m1 say will deduct sgd100 from the phone..is it worth it?

why need to deduct? why no free phone let say u sign up a particular plan?

free phone monthly commitment very high...let say pay sgd298 u only sign up a 24mth plan which mthly commitment is sgd44++ but if u get the free phone then u need commit sgd90++ for 24mth...
