You will have less job options compared to a Singaporea PR holder or a Singapore citizen.

Meaning that if we are to find another job, it will be another round of applying for EP, etc etc?

Hi, just want to check if we are allowed to bring in foldable bicycle into MRT during the Weekdays Peak Hours (6am - 9:30am)? I read that during the trial in 2008, we can only bring in after the peak hours. I would really like to get one bike. Remove the hassle of waiting for buses.

the law says yes, but imagine when people are sardine in the MRT, u think u have the chance to bring it in? unless u board the train from the 1st station. and i believe that u will have issue getting out of the train later.

Yeah I think there is a point to it. Oh well, back to the good ol method of walking. Maybe I will get a second hand bike that can get me from the Flat to the station.

Also what time will the train start to be pack like Sardin? 6:45am still okay? Hehehe.. I will be starting work in SG next week.

before 7am, still acceptable and u still can bring the bicycle in. anything after that, even u board from the 1st station, u will have difficulty getting it out of the train.

Just gone through the SMRT website. It seems that the bike can be brought into the train after 9:30am. I guess from 6am to 9:30am it's a no-no. So I think I will just need to start walking to the station earlier. BTW, anyone staying in Hougang?

regarding the card, i think its $30 to apply for it.

Thanks for the information :-). Do we apply it at the MOM where we get our EP? Just curious. It will really reduce the queue time a lot as right now we will need to queue at the normal lane for "All Passports" hehe...

what will be the cheapest hdb flat if renting the whole unit?

So far I have heard that the flats are really above 1.2k and nothing lower and it's a really run down unit far away from the MRT. Unfortunatately the prices of flats rental in SG is really expensive.

EP cannot use the Automated Gate Clearance, only can use the normal checkpoint smile.gif but they will not stamp on ur passport, just scan ur EP.

Am using the Access Card, passing through the Automated Gate EVERYDAY. Just finger print! dont even need to have the passport to be check. lol

Only hassle is at Malaysia.. need to check passport sad.gif

Bloggerblue,
Do you think that this is way faster than the normal queue. Just curious, how long does it takes for you to get from CIQ to getting on the bus in Singapore daily? And agak agak what time did you start your journey? I am just three weeks into my stay here in SG so exploring a lot of things.

Also, I heard from my friend that some of the ppl do Taxi Pool everyday from MY to SG. Heard of that before anyone?

if u r comparing CIQ and TUAS, definitely it's hassle free at TUAS

for CIQ, many people is using the same type of method right now, Access card sad.gif

but the good thing is, it takes about 30 second to clear the gate after finger print, well, if u go through the normal immigration officer, they will look at ur passport, check the system, check ur white card, check this, check that... up to 2-3 minutes ( depend as well )

imaging, 30 people waiting in the same que, 1 person is 1-2 minutes, average u have to wait 15-20 minutes ( it's a lot for me )

yes.. there are.. the Taxi Pool, a lot nearby the railway station thr

Bloggerblue,
Thanks for your information :-). In this case, you check out from TUAS daily then eh. You mean the Taxi Pool is at Tanjung Pagar?

from the previous few pages.. there are posts that new EP holders are all able to use their passport to scan on the machine. Don't have to apply for access card. I've tried it myself at the checkpoints.

Hi Wseng,
Thanks for the infor. Yeah I was reading about it. So we can just put our Malaysian Passport (Page with face) in the machine, and then do the thumb print, we can go through? Hmm... maybe I will try it the next round when I go back to Malaysia...

Just checking, is it still possible to "tumpang" bus kilang to cross the causeway for 50sen?

The "taxi" rate at the JB railway station is still S$10/person to anywhere in SG?
*
How do the taxi works. Do you need to find for youself 4 kaki or they collect 4 ppl and can head out to SG already? Intresting. I was thinking of moving back to Johor if it is convenient. hehe....

what is the condition of the cheapest HDB Flat (RM 1.3K -1.5K) . Does it look very hectic with high density of people? very noisy ? last time i went to one of my friend apt and there got no security but so safe and so quiet . people really behave and respect silent at night .

if penang, sure noisy one if living in those apartment in air itam or even any places with medium cost apt.
*
So far based on my experience, the hdb flat over here is more organized. Not so much on rowdy as flats in Malaysia. Some can be a bit noisy though as it may be near to streets or roads. Oh yeah, it's SGD1.3. hehhee...
