QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Jun 2 2010, 01:01 AM) technically, u can restore the phone to the original OS before sending it back to the service center to repair. and i believe most telco won't bother if the phone is jail break. But in the Apple's policy, once the phone has been modified (jail broken), it will be considered a warranty void case. Until now, Apple practice a close 1 eye on that policy, but in the near future, they will implement it strictly on the phone. To avoid trouble in the future, prefer to use original phone. And I work in Apple. So u might be mislead by others but what i am telling u now is how it works. believe it or not, it up to you. Hey Lester, u're working in Apple? What department? My fren just got offered as Telesales Consultant and she'll be started working on the 28th this month! I sent my resume thru agency last night and they called me up today to screen me on the phone and they will send over my resume to Apple, so I'm now waiting Apple to call me regarding interview. So nervous, do they actually take up very long time to get back to us?

QUOTE(bloggerblue @ Jun 2 2010, 08:12 AM) Am working in Apple as well.... Good Benefit.. depend on which department you join.. my department is stressful... Apple is the fastest company that ever response when your resume been screen through... interview done.. i got my confirmation in... 3 -4 days.. lol Yes, actually is Online Sales Team... it's a contract bound, not permanent. Really?? But I'm still waiting the call from Apple.. I'm so nervous, scare they would not shortlist me, but I got experience in promoting apple products in roadshow and I was working as Apple Merchandiser previously.. Hope they would give me a chance..  Added on June 2, 2010, 12:55 pmThe position that I applied is a half year contract basis, but they consider to extend it if ur performance is good and there's a chance converting to permenant staff too This post has been edited by yinyum: Jun 2 2010, 12:55 PM

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Jun 3 2010, 04:49 PM) wish you good luck. good benefit, 1 thing not good is too many filipino. sometimes makes me feel i am very cheap working with so many of them. almost more than 80% are filipino. mayb i am racist? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « and u leng lui or not? still single and available?? Serious so many filipino? But I guess if I really work in Apple, my team would be all Chinese as we will need to speak mandarin & Cantonese to handle hk or Taiwan online store.. Really wish they would gimme a chance to be part of the team.. Btw, u ask like tat, how do u want me to answer u? But I can intro my leng lui fren to u though, she confirmed get the job alrdy..

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Jun 4 2010, 08:56 AM) Who said its boring, get to live expat lifestyle. Thats if you work for shell, goto either SRC or panaga country club. Plus they have alot of activities for children as well with the school just opposite the club. Plus purchasing a car is cheap, has one of the lowest oil prices in south east asia and the main road from kuala beliat to seria is usually just a straight road so you can speed with no probs plus the roads are very well maintained within the kuala beliat - seria area since alot of shell staff are housed either in the outskirts of seria or in kuala belait. Plus there are a couple of shell staff who have their own micro-brewery for "personal" consumption. Well, Brunei is a place good for relaxing and retire life... The escalator there is 5 times slower than Singapore, ppl drive so slow on 'highway' make u feel like scolding bad words  Their highway only 2 lanes... hahahah... But no doubt u can drive nice luxury cars like Lexus, Z4, Fairlady, VW & so on in Brunei with dirt cheap petrol price... But I think brunei is only for ppl who love slow pace life, not for ppl that enjoy working in fast pace countries and Brunei is seriously no entertainment at all, not even KTV... But another advantage is that u can save money instead of spending them off on entertainments This post has been edited by yinyum: Jun 4 2010, 11:45 AM

QUOTE(bloggerblue @ Jun 4 2010, 11:47 PM) i fully recommended Gelang Patah.. dont take causeway.. damn jam.....!!! Gelang Patah Service Apartment , whole house Air Con... Rm800-Rm1000, 4 room.... i think i remember someone want to stay in GP as well.. as see wanna share or not la.. and.. yin yum... wanna share with Buaya King? Actually I'm now staying at sengkang.. But if I really got selected for the job, I think I wanna move to somewhere nearer to AMK is better, as sengkang to AMK is quite a distance, I scare I always late for work.. But my fren (alrdy confirmed got the job) will stay hougang leh.. If wanna move out, I wanna move and stay with her (provided if she wants to move).. Gelang Patah sounds good leh.. Service apartment whole unit for only $800-$1000?! Sure boh??

hey bloggerblue, we can just wear very casual working in Apple right? T shirt & jeans + sneakers.. Can i wear short pants? not too short of coz... and is it ok to wear sandals (a bit look like slippers type) I just submitted my application for E Pass today, hopefully MOM will approve it  Anyone knows that wat are the consequences of not working half year (holding work permit)? I heard they said MOM will fine / deduct salary or something?
