if EP got rejected, then mayb u can try appeal, if appeal also fail, then u can pack ur bags and go back MY already. even the company willing to hire you, if SG gov doesn't welcome you, you can't work here at all.

Anyone go to IT Show today? I got there at about 3pm and it was already quite crowded. Packed in some places on level 6 where the booths of the shops from Sim Lim and Funan were. Level 4 where the brand owners was less crowded.

I was looking for 32gb micro sdhc cards for my Tab and it was still too expensive... $90 for Class 4... three times the price of 16gb. Most places were selling at list price... nothing special. Only exception was Mega which was selling 40" Samsung full HD LED pure black TVs at $999. Almost went for that one.

None of the new Android tablets to be seen, and no sign of the iPad2. No unveils or first looks at all... way too much accessories.

My only purchase ended up being a ciplak AC charger & sync cable for the tab. Roundly, not much of a show, really.

I thought the price for a 32GB micro SD was around 100++ at least.

Ipad2 just recently announced in US so logically singapore wont get it so soon, wait around 3-4 months down the road for it to appear.

Thats how vendors make money from, accessories are the way to go. Especially ipad and iphone accessories.

How about apply for other company or job? Downgrade to apply work permit?

Work at audit firm hard to apply EP as well?

What is the main reason of SG govt reject apply EP?

Let me share my knowledge about rejection by MOM.
Appeal is basically up to the hiring company.
I have seen a company appeal for 2-3 times for someone I know.
Apparently the reason rejected previously were (we are suspecting only as MOM does not disclose) unrecognized tertiary education and the pay being too high (for this, hiring company needs to enclose justification on why you are worth that much)
From what that person told me, the company is also appealing for another employee for like the fifth time and still ongoing.

well lens can be later if u havent got a body yet. What i mean the 'feel' here is u hav to try out the weight, build, ease of use, n the button layout in ur own hands. different people hav different preferences so its very important that u are comfortable with the body that u intended to get.

for example i dont quite like some Canon bodies bcoz of my fingers not so convi in reaching out to some buttons, while my fren doesnt like certain models of Sony as they are too light for him.

as a start, like felicious say, get a kit lens bundle n off u go. Most of the kit lens 18-55 or 18-105 are good enough for most situations d. biggrin.gif

May i know wat is 18-55 and 18-105? lol.

Then i might be going for some DSLR at the price range of 1.5k with lens. Hmm, which brand is good i am not tat sure also. My mind only have olympus, canon and sony or maybe Panasonic. But Canon camera seems crappy for me, i mean for the compact one, not for the DSLR

those numbers basically represent the focal length... which in a simpler way to describe : higher the number range, further it can zoom to.

1.5k i think u can get a quite OK body with kit lens d. as for which brand is good... there's no definite answer of coz haha, most people wil go for Nikon, Canon, or Sony. Pentax do hav some good body too, while i hardly see anyone using Olympus n Panasonic - their cams are not really DSLR technology anyway as far as i know biggrin.gif

Depending on which booth, Sandisk class 4 was $100-106. Kingston and Transcend class 4 was $86-95.

Apple had a booth there, I thought they would at least have a display unit.
