sifus,

is there any way i can find a 1 room hdb for rent <SGD1k /mth?

btw, where is a good place for newbies like me to stay? in terms of security, neighbourhood, convenience...etc

no, i dont think thats wat i'm looking for.... looking for a place in SG, if can get 1+1room hdb <SGD 1k would be good

ok, the price is too steep for me so drop the idea of getting a flat then... mayb i'll jz aim for a master room

but will hav to wear clothes walking around the flat, no choice

thx for the heads up!


can u recommend a few places i should chk out to rent a decent room? my workplace is around the industrial area near thompson rd

how does SG gov decide whether or not to approve or reject a PR application?

is it a guessing game or they have a formula?

im guessing some of criterias:
- education level?
- job level?
- income level/cash in bank??
- any relatives in SG has PR?
- been staying in SG for a period of time?

fellow malaysians,

anybody working around thompson area? where do u choose to stay n is it convenient?

normally what will we need to pay when renting a room in SG? (found no info on 1st page)

if i'm renting room with my gf, is it better to get a master room?

is Bishan a good place for couple? ie. convenient? safe? y behind carpark or next to library?

guys n gals,

where do u all go on wkends? i mean any nice place to hangout with gf?

still newbie in lion city...only mah 1st wk....

1 week?? WTF... how r u going to get a nice place or a reasonable price if so rush?

if i were u, no matter how also lodge a report against the landlord, give them problem since they created it for u - eye for an eye

if i wanna get a notebook, is it cheaper to get it in SG or MY? is Sim Lim Sq a good place for bargain?

p/s: im looking for a budget entry level notebook with 14" screen (less than SGD900)

thanks a bunch!

wanna ask, if my fren wanna claim back GST at changi, wat r the documents u need besides the product, receipt, passport?

will it take a long time? must estimate more time at the airport?

guys, is it better that i stick with M1 superpac prepaid or upgrade to postpaid?

i only use my phone to receive call n sms, right now still got $29.50 from $30 value (2 wks already)

the only advantage i see is i get to choose free phone or top up n get new phone right?

im thinking of converting to postpaid once my job passes probation, is M1 good enough?

btw, i read from M1 website, i have to return to exchange the 'free' phone after 21mths?? i tot they give u free phone but now it seems like they still hold the phone n let u use only, so weird... pls correct me if im wrong, i read it 3 times edi
