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

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

i think u are referring to Epicenter rite? Apple don't usually have a booth in those fairs.... only their reseller does.

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

Haha give Pentax a try. The K-x and K-r is the best bang for the buck right now. Offers lots of new technology in the body allowing it to grow with your skills. Lens wise it's the cheaper than Canikons and their Limited lens are especially mouth watering.

I got my K-x second hand for about $450, you don't need a better body than this....spend the remaining money on a good pair of lens or flash. The kit lens are among the sharpest when it comes to kit too. I believe a kit K-r will will run about $750, and I would not hesitate to pick up the 55-300mm twin kit bundle if they have it.

Some company can't renew your pass, because

A) Quota finished. The company use up all the quota to hiring for S-Pass or WP or EP, and need to hire Singaporean to contribute
    the CPF and increase the quota volume.
B) Company forget to pay CPF... its happen... (after they pay, the quota will be appear the next month, 3rd of the month)

I usually go for sandisk memory since they have been good to me. Kingston not so bad and i've had no exp with transcend.

But 32GB for 90 dollars aint so bad. Got myself a 16GB sandisk at the fair last nite. Damn pack.

Anybody from keppel fels can enlighten as to why keppel hires a person to tell people off that they cant leave the yard area around lunchtime. Yesterday i was held back by some arsehole who didnt give me a clear reason why i have to wait until the siren goes off at around 11.55.

Luckily one of the transocean guys who i was accompanying just told me to f*** off that fella and join him in the van to the head office.

Now election season mah. I think you were a victim of bad timing.

Re-apply again after the cooling off period. The election fever should have worn off by then.

for 1.5k, perhaps you can fork up a little bit more and get a 1000D with kitlens (18-55mm) smile.gif
Im not sure is there any lens with 18-105. This is the focal length, the length on how far your lens can zoom.
18-55mm is the kitlens that comes with 1000D smile.gif

More than a year huh?? I was thinking of apply with just 6 months!!
At least they reply to u 3 months. If they reply in 6 montsh time, ur one year period stars from there. Too bad have to stay in your company one more year.

Jumping job with EP is also dangerous, cos govt may not approved another EP.

How come your EP has address stated? mine dun have.

I remembered previously in straist times even an expat from German (i think) with PEP also got his PR application rejected.

Exempted from filing?? How is that?Even IF ur low pay and no nid to pay tax, u still need to fill rite?
Does the company here give something like EA forms or summary? or we just manually add up all the gross salary and key in accordingly?
