Any idea where to get cheap and fresh fruits in SG? FairPrice?

Either most major supermarket or your local wet market.

Ive found you get a better selection and fresher fruits from the wet markets. Unfortunately my wet market nearby my place was closed down and replaced with a shen siong supermarket.

guys, it is sufficient to survive in Singapore with SGD 1600?
got an offer from an audit firm.

i manage to survive before with just 1.6 basic. no prob. it just the matter on how u gonna spend those money.

and u need to think for urself, wat is ur need and wat u dun need.

depend on how many person you have to support and your other commitment.

If your objective is to get a starting point in SG before you move on to bigger target then it is ok to aim for "survival" first, else one can always survive in malaysia while spending time with family members.

when I was single and using just a pager, I earn less than you yet able to send home rm1k and have a few saving plan. It is very easy to spend money in SG so you have to manage your expenses.

Fairprice fruits are quite cheap SGD1.55 for 5 South african apples.
Most of their fruits are quite fresh & have plenty of variety compared to Sheng Shiong

My monthly expenses less than $1k.

Rental 480
Food 300
Transport 50
Etc <150

Why not?
There is rental which are 300-400 too.
If you live on high maintenance lifestyle, no amount of money will be enough.

Hey guys, wanna ask how much an Accountant with 3 years of post grat Accountant can expect in SG? My cousin got his ACCA back in 2007 and is interested to work in SG.

If he is expecting for $4K would it be ok or too low?

Depends on where he works and what's the job scope.

Assuming his 3 years of post qualification experience is of good quality, possible jobs would be senior or asst mgr in accounting firms, exec or senior exec in large MNCs or asst mgr in small MNCs/local listed or even controller, mgr in small companies (where he'd probably be the only or one of a handful qualified accountants amongst a bunch of accounting clerks).

One thing though... is he a graduate?

Should be okay, the jobs above would be around $4K. Having said that, some of these jobs would have lots of candidates. Without a quality 3 years experience and a bachelor's degree, it might be hard to get shortlisted for interviews.
