I'm thinking of walking to Macritchie to Bukit Timah via the treetop walk. It will be too easy if just hike up bukit timah alone.

18/3 Friday woo, need to work

if all batang then its fine, if there're girls then i think better to rethink the plan... plan around 10km, or 2 hours trip... with lunch/breakfast+chatter should be around 5-6 hours already
yea lor... why choose that date ar... so bodoh..

neway, sorry for being late... poor ppl like me have to take mrt... turn downed company car... lol

yes, last taken on last month. $24.7 for two (ayam penyet+teh botol+gado-gado(just taken some, too full with ayam penyet, take away)) nice but the chilies = too hot for me...i used to eat spicy foods in Msia, but now

great 2 hav outdoor outing. interested 2 join bt 2 bad will b on shift till the weekend. perhaps next round

Hihi, I'm getting a new job in Singapore sooner or later. Gonna join National University of Singapore as a Librarian. I m wondering is there any public transport for me to use to travel between JB to NUS? Is it convenient or just trouble some? hope to hear some guide from u all...thx

u wanna stay in JB ar?? very very troublesome 1.... my friend stay in Sentosa and work in NUS, he start work 8am, he need to leave home at 5:30am. you need to take 170 to Kranji, then from Kranji take MRT to Clementi, from Clementi, there is a shuttle bus to NUS (according to him, i never tried). if u stay in JB, i suggest that u buy a motorbike and ride a bike better, save a lot of time.

PS : JB bus service sux... they like to wait for passengers at the bus stop... i tried once, the stupid driver waited for 30 mins at the bus stop before he jalan.

I'd suggest you stay in Sg and use the time you'd save on travelling to think and then execute a plan on improving your prospects for a bigger job or a promotion. One solid upgrade and you'd more than earn back the difference in living costs.

go ktv for 3 hrs. time flies very fast and they'llbe very very heppy.
ok, i assume they r men.

seantang: duck tour route is just nice as compare to the longer hippo route. It highlight special landmarks of SG and include a view to the CBD area as well. Buy this and you have a few extra plan B activities http://www.ducktours.com.sg/sp.php There is a ferrari tour starting from the flyer as well, not too sure about its route.

The dempsey hill have a few art gallery if they like art pieces.

Nokia Convert: 18/3 I have seminar to attend. Let me know the next time you go. I am interested.

yo guys... i need help regarding information on work permit... if S pass is not enough quota, can the company still apply for work permit if non of their employees holding wp but only S pass... my S pass rejected and MOM said is because over quota... so bad luck... so now need information on the work permit... hope can get information from here... thank you so much in advanced... ^^

I tried the char kuey teow.. Not bad, but still Penang's is still the best~!!!

I never try that yet.

with the levy hiking recently & quota on S-pass, my comp. is also having the issue...
local singaporeans is very very difficult to get to do those physical intensive labour tasks in our plants. we mostly employ china/india/bangla for physical intensive tasks...
http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/pas...es/default.aspx

A Work Permit (WP) is generally issued to foreign unskilled workers with a monthly basic salary of not more than $1,800.

The duration of a Work Permit is generally two years, subject to the validity of the worker’s passport, the Banker’s/Insurance Guarantee, and the worker’s employment period, whichever is shorter. The worker is only allowed to work for the employer and in the specified occupation.

Specific variants of Work Permits allow foreigners to work as domestic helpers, confinement nannies and performing artistes.

Thanks for all your information. I have no choice but need to stay in JB because my wife she is working in JB and my babe is there too...for sure cant afford if moving the whole family to SG. Worst is I dont have bike license, if i wanna drive a car from JB to NUS...is it much worst???

There is only one Key Gibraltar Jackup rig in keppel fels, currently under maintenance. Plus its under transocean and i believe its the only transocean rig in keppel fels.

You cant really miss it since it has the transocean logo prominently displayed on the rig itself.

Non-destructive testing.

if using Tuas 2nd link, car VEP SGD 20 per day + toll to & fro SGD6.40. total SGD 26.40.
every year free 11 or 10 VEP (cannot remember the exact free VEP per year).
you can find more from LTA --> http://www.lta.gov.sg/motoring_matters/ind...oring_guide.htm

*** To be honest, it is not worth working in singapore from my observation in term of $ with exception highly paid (SGD3.5k above) or company finance you with allowance or one is looking for international/oversea experience exposure or still single.

Anyone has any feedback on how HwangDBS's benefits are in Singapore?

kalau tak da license, kita ambik license ... really cannot drive in SG la. unless you wanna get a Singapore registered car (even worst, you need to take SG license, get a guarantor if u wanna buy car). if u are driving a MY registered car in, you need to pay $20 VEP (weekdays if u enter or leave Singapore from 2am-5pm) and i assume that u taking woodlands, still need to pay $1.20 toll + RM2.90. if u take bike, only pay $4 VEP, that's it. no nid to take Singapore license, buy bike can get loan without guarantor. and it is common that a lot of Malaysian taking bike to work daily from JB (i am 1 of them). I got a car in JB as well. u will get 10 VEP free days every year. so use it wisely. the main reason for me to stay in JB is to enjoy a luxury life (so call luxury according to my Singaporean colleagues) because with my $2k salary, i can own a car, stay in a 3 rooms flat alone, got a bike, can go out makan makan... go back KL once in a while... but with $2k, if u wanna stay in SG, u will only stay in a room, take MRT, cannot go lepak etc etc.. Oh ya, if u are going from Woodlands to NUS, you need to cross 1 ERP at BKE. so u still need to add the BKE ERP fees (not sure how much).

Oh my goodness, it seems more toublesome if driving a car in SG....emm..my salary is SGD4k, i think i have no choice but to travel in and out everyday from JB to SG, since my family is in JB... Anyway, thx for all the info, really helpful indeed.
