Hey guys, it's me again..

There are 3 type of food that cannot be eaten that I experience in SG while working here, it's just damn yucky:-

1) Chau Kuew Tiew (Why so sweet??.. put sugar ah to fry ah?)
2) 酸甘汁 aka lemon+plum drink - walao, it is too sour+abit of bitter! Cant compare to Malaysia's style
3) Tomyam - real yucky (Tomyam in SG is the worst).. Apparently, every hawker serve the same yucky tomyam.

BUT SG do serve good BKT and Kuey Chap (cannot be found in KL).

Just wanna share my experience b4 I go to bed. Bye.

Do you notice?

mee soto at NSHW RM$3.00~RM$3.50.
mee soto at SG hawker S$2.50~S$3.

rental in SG 4~5 figure S$
rental in MY 3~4 figure RM$

1st priority for SG hawker is to survive. That include reduce cost, shorten cooking time,  increase sales volume etc.

come la...it doesnt cost much also...

Very not use to the black pepper Bak Kut Teh and generally I find SG food a bit sweet for my liking. Coming from KL I like it saltier maybe but still cannot understand the black peper BKT! Anyone can find Klang type BKT in SG pls post

not really, when u enter using motorcycle, in the peak hours, they just let u pass as there are thousands of motorcycles queuing there and they can't afford to check every single 1 of us. But yesterday its different case. they check every single bikers. but today back to normal.

Mat Selamat Kedua?

He already Selamat Jalan liao!!back then...LOL...I'm still wondering how he got across into JB

Hey guys, sorry to divert the topic a little bit.
I am looking forward to go work in Singapore, want to ask if anyone here has any experience in bringing in pets from Malaysia over to Singapore... My wife & I have 2 fat cats that we intend to bring over.
Please do share with me your experience ya if there is anyone... I have just started searching for information and thought it would be good to try my luck here :-)

Thanks guys!

no issue bringing pets cross the immigration since pets doesn't need a passport.

singapore got 100 fat cats for each HDB already wo...   

haha so i was just exaggerating... but i like fat cats.... but when make *chut *chut sound, they don't bother wan... damn lansi.. too well fed already. 

hi there,

do you think is it good to work at Singapore compare to Malaysia?

i'm thinkin to work at Sin...

stress level is 3x more compare to m'sia

i dun drink nor smoke

i second lester...last time work in call centre for maxis(end user) everyday kena scolding...now with b2b user...can gosip with them sumore...lol...pay better less stress

Why not Funan?

I went there. Lousy place. Sim Lim has more electronics stuff and at a cheaper price too. But Funan looks more upscale while Sim Lim looks like a gangster's version of Lowyat.

Hongkie is ok for me, worst is Singapore or Malaysian Indians. They are dam irritating. Not to be racist or what, but 9/10 indian, they will demand this demand that, paid $20 act like they paid $1000 like that. Dam freaking brainless.

anyone here working in jurong shipyard? perhaps can share some working experience here.. 
i have the offer, but seems their basic paid abit low where i have around 3-4 years working experience although is not related to shipyard.

Hi, I was browsing around this thread, and have been more or less a "stalker" of this forums for quite some time (lol). I'm interested in the lobang you have. I have 1 yr's work experience in operations and customer service (not exclusively). Diploma graduate from a Singaporean poly. Is it ok for me to know more about your lobang? Could we perhaps correspond by e-mail or this forum's PM function? I'd just like to know more about the role. Previous industry was in childcare (quit mainly because I did not want to further my career in the childcare industry). Also, I commute daily (or at least, when I was working and schooling, I commuted daily). Staying in Pasir Gudang (very far, I know!!) I intend to further my studies this year via part-time degree, and am really lost about living arrangements. My last job was a 1 month temp at Alexandra Rd, so I commuted via KTM (*shivers at the memory*) because Tanjong Pagar was nearest to my ex-workplace. Woke up at 4 am in the morning EVERYDAY, and reached home the EARLIEST at 9.30 everyday. And THAT is during the lucky days the KTM services decided to run a little earlier.

So anyway, I'm currently fervently looking for a job ASAP (I don't mind temp as long as it's full time) as well as advice by the rest of you guys on how you manage your living and travel arrangements. What I DO know is that it's crazy to wake up at 4am and reach home at 10 everyday (my temp job was for 1 month, so for that 1 month, I functioned on espresso and coffee. LOTS of it.)

Thanks in advance

And it has such a reputation for good reasons too- it's a veritable Pirate's haven. No noob ever goes in to Sim Lim and makes it out alive. In other words, you'd have to be extremely knowledgeable about the prices and what you're looking for, or else people there will most certainly fleece you of your money. It has happened countless times to many victims- do a search on Sim Lim's notoriety online and you'll get what I mean.

NEVER go there if you don't know nuts about what you want to buy. On the other hand, if you're very well versed with what you want and know how to bargain... then Sim Lim would be a very good place for bargains, especially computer parts, assuming you manage to make your way to the legitimate shops that don't pester you with sales and who actually stock quality products. And make sure you ALWAYS ASK FOR YOUR WARRANTY. Oh, yes, you should also know how to liaise with people from the... err... somewhat lower echelons of society. It's infested with Bengs there, so, if you're easily intimidated... then good luck to you.

PS: This is for Sim Lim Square (SLS), the big building near Queen St.

I don't know about Funan, but it's more organized and I think the sales people are a lot more mild there. Only been to Funan once, lol...
PS: If you don't already know, electronics in SG are (generally) slightly cheaper than in Msia, though for some reason, DSLRs and lenses are cheaper in Msia. So not much reason to go out of your way to either country if you're not already in one of them.

Hi all, may I know what are good answers to this interview question, "Why do you choose to work in Singapore?"

Thanks.
