You do not need your IC to go into SG. What you need is your passport and to fill in the Singapore Custom Whitecard.

I might be. But it's usually great to rationalise until you run into someone who goes 100% by the book.

It is indeed. This weekend will be nice... shopping for a HDTV and a tablet. You have a good weekend too.

Added on December 3, 2010, 9:24 pmevery week, I eat 1 can of tuna (from malaysia), 3 eggs (bough in singapore), 3 cucumbers (in singapore), multigrain bread (singapore), zespri kiwi (singapore). Everymonth, 1.5kg of milk powder from malaysia. Every 2 months, Jocob biscuit from malaysia, uncle tobby cereal bar (singapore).

Actually, expenses in Singapore not really high except if you want to buy a house. personal expenses include rent about $1000 or less. Last time, when I stay in Australia, every month at least $1500+++ (if I cook most of my meals). additional, cannot bring things from malaysia to there.

I once did a job onboard a drilling ship and was told by the captain and superintendent that since their pressed for time, i had to do my survey of the necessary components within 2 days. Normally it would take around 4 days to do the job so i had to work around the clock for 42 hours without sleep.

I did have micro naps in between the 42 hours and luckily the galley is open 18 hours a day with free flow of red bull. After finish i kena sugar crash and slept for half a day.

Thanks for the earlier feedback. Currently will only have Employee Pass after pass my med checkup.

Hopefully tomorrow can secure a room located near Jurong Point. Anyone have any idea how much the average rental there? Found a room for sgd500 with internet+heater+aircon+util bill, staying with singaporean landlord

after i took one flight...i'm addicted to it

i'm working 2 weekdays@8hrs
and 2 weekends@12hrs

I am staying near jurong point too.....working in tuas. As for rental, 500sgd inclusive of internet, heater, aircon and PUB is a steal. I only managed to find an equivalent room last month for sgd550.

If they landlord looks ok, I suggest you rent the place asap.

Btw, pls check whether the landlord really owns the unit. You have to be sure that this offer is not a scam.

Does anybody if there is a code singtel prepaid cards to get cheaper calls to malaysian numbers? and does this code apply to hot 100 credit?

I search around by myself, mostly 450-500sgd exclusive of aircon or PUB. This room was found by an agent (relative of my relative ) but need to pay agent fee, of course. My relative will visit the place today and if everything ok, will rent it.

Mind telling which company you working at, in Tuas? PM if dont want to disclose in public
