nola, my landlord sold his house. and they will only get their new house end of December. We have to move out by 15th Nov. they were only charging me $400 now. because the landlord's brother in law is staying in the same house as well, he surveyed for room and the cheapest he can find is $750. So i also feel a bit pai seh paying only $400 for the whole room everything in including internet. My landlord actually ask me to find a place temporary for 1 month until they get their new house, then i can move back in. My aunty say she is ok to let me stay there 1 month. But i feel paiseh la. paying so low de rental to them. Mayb stay in JB will be better? since the rental is cheaper and my work place is in AMK. not very far from causeway.
*
yea lor, temp stay somewhere 1st... then later move back in

And that's why we have people like the idiot who wrote to New Paper complaining about "not being stopped" from using data on his mobile phone when he was roaming. His excuse... he didn't know that roaming would be so expensive because he didn't get a warning when he was surfing overseas  doh.gif Laid the blame entirely on the telco for "letting him rack up a huge bill". What a douchebag.

bb has a function where data wireless get shut off while roaming... company pays so...

Hi Seantang

I have a maybank account nominated in Ringgit, but i am not sure whether i can withdraw SGD? for the activation, is that possible to do it online? also, if i successfully activate it? can i withdraw SGD using my maybank ATM card in other banks ATM such as OCBC, UOB? because it is quite difficult to find Maybank ATM machine here.

I do not have a credit card. Do money changer in Singapore allow Malaysia debit card swipe? Mean i get SGD and i pay my ringgit using debit card swipe.?
*
actually u can... but the prob is ur debit is from maybank... i think maybank's debit doesnt allow much foreign transactions or even online transactions...

not yet, wanted to but not sure will that make me a happier person.

Is it common for non O&G Engineering?
*
i think it is more common in sg than in msia... those in the banking line are earning obscene amounts... all working cousins are earning that.... lowest being 6x my salary, so i ask my colleagues whether it is possible... they just laugh at me (90% in my company are msians).. i am wonder is that the case for the general grad public?

QUOTE(mercury8400 @ Nov 10 2010, 10:29 PM)
SG is boring. What do you guys do during weekends? I got nothing to do...too tired of window shopping.....
*
nope, it is not... just that it is tougher to move about unless you have a car... i go to libs, go hiking, to yum cha, shopping, visiting attractions... etc etc

really bored, go casino to try ur luck... too bad no free food unlike in vegas

hi, ladies and gentlemen,

i would like to know what broadband is good in singapore? i will be staying in cck soon. however, the unit does not supply internet. So,I am expecting to start a line myself thus i want to know more about your opinion about broadband service in singapore.

I hope the internet either by phone line or usb modem (though I would prefer cable connection despite of its consistency). and Most importantly, the usage is unlimited (if there is any)

Apparently, I've done some research through the webbie. Thinking Starhub, Singtel or M1 could be good choices. Anyone with good recommendation?
*
why dont try to share with ur housemates? ... there're few types... phoneline, cable, fibre optic.. if 1 person phoneline will be enough...

if u want mobility... usb 3g doggle...

if u cheapo... just sign up for iphone and tether... batt will die though...
