u can help me amend also. i no longer staying in Sembawang, moved to JB already Still working in AMK. If anyone wanna know about the current life of working in Singapore and living in JB, can ask me

My Routine is like this, Alarm put 5:30am, snooze until around 6:20am, wake up wash face and change cloths. leave my house around 6:40am. Go Taman Pelangi da pao Nasi Lemak (with luncheon meat) RM2. reach Singapore immigration around 7:10am. queue for around 30-40mins (these few days the queue is getting longer and longer, previously is around 20-30mins). enter Singapore at 7:50am. reach my office at 8:05am. Go gym and bath, 9am start work. then 6pm go home, reach JB normally around 7:10pm, then go makan and reach home around 8pm. Basically its not really that bad coz when u are on the queue, just load more drama/anime on ur iPhone, then just watch 1 episode drama and it should be your turn already. Unless its raining, then can only listen to music lo since scare iPhone will get wet if watch drama .

its actually V5 instead since we got V3a previously. So Anyone wanna car pool with me from KL-SG on 2nd Jan 2011?? I will be driving, looking for some passengers to ease the travel expenses

Looks like I am the only 1 working in SG but staying in JB.... haiz~~ what to do... all people here salary high high , only small potato like me got peanut salary and have to commute daily

Basically Sembawang have almost all the necessary there. such as NTUC, Banks, Food and also clinics. not so sure about Shipyard because most of the time, i will be lingering around Sun Plaza and SSC.

i think i will be arriving at the Causeway around 1am 2nd Jan, still got jam meh?? 1am wor... those people no nid sleep?

no la, in the morning around 6:40am, causeway no jam 1 la. every morning i am traveling there now. so i know. only motorcycle will be queuing to pass the causeway.

its not eyes can see la, i am experiencing it everyday now. under certain reason, today the immigration is very smooth. even there is a lot of people, but i queue less than 20 mins can pass already (normally around 30-40mins). so i reach my office in 1 hour time. really nice. regarding raining, you can also see that everyone has their own rain coat la. i even put a pair of slippers in my bike for rain. It actually quite nice. when we are queuing under the rain, the queue will be shorter and also normally the road will be a bit flooded, so can play with the water a little bit while queuing .

can let me know the requirement and also what product are you supporting? i got 2 friend looking for job in Singapore. got around 2-3 years exp in Customer service line.

why not? if u exclude rental and bills, $200 can be quite ok already for food. i can survive with $5 a day previously. skip breakfast, then eat rice $2.70 (add rice) in the afternoon, when go back after work, buy 1 bread $1.25 (Fair Price bread). 1 bread can eat 2 days. and of course, buy a bottle of peanut butter (around $3 in value $ store). peanut butter can last around 1 1/2 month. with $200, i think the balance we can use for transportation as well. living standard in SG is quite cheap la. So if include rental $400, phone $70, i can survive with $700 a month. Of course i choose not to survive that way coz I love to eat junk food like those XL chicken chop ($4), so i usually spare $450 for my food. But now i stay in JB, so i will allocate $300 for food, and i can eat like a monster with it everyday

I got a room for rent in Marsiling. walking distance to MRT. its actually my previous house owner ask me if i got any friends looking for room. They are a family, husband, wife and got 1 7 year old girl + a aunty (wife's friend). only renting to Malaysian Chinese. Rental $500 include PUB (air-cond) and 10mbps wifi. washing machine can use as well.i stayed with them 1 year already but because they sold their old house and moved to this new place, so i moved to JB. They are very nice people. pm me if interested.

ok la, to be exact, its Block 149, Woodlands Street 11. Go check in google maps. if that is not walking distance, then i really don't know how you are going to cycle or drive to MRT with that distance.

actually its not urgent 1 la. its just that my landlord is very nice last time, won't nag about high electricity or i bath 4 times a day also no problem 1. That's why wanna recommend it to you all only.

mine telling me which date? if same date with me, then mayb u can join my car and help me save some cost I am travelling SG-KL on 4th Feb 2011 evening and KL-SG on 13 Feb 2011 evening.

nope, i know CNY is 3rd and 4th, but i need to work on those 2 days. only manage to get my leave on the following week, that's why 4th Feb after work, i straight drive back to KL.

tell them ur grand mother/father pass away.(make sure that it is the 1 that is already pass away 1 so next time if there is 1 really pass away, u won't conflict with ur lie)

if u are a Singaporean or PR, then you should apply. If you are a Malaysian, the chances that u will get a 3 months job here is near to 0. because they need to apply work permit for you which is a 2 year permit. also they need to pay for your medical check and insurance (required by mom). If you plan to work here in the future. I personally advice you not to come this trip. cause even if there is an employer willing to hire you (i highly doubt), in the future when you want to fully settle down in SG, MOM might reject your EP/WP application since u have bad record

before i come down to SG, i go through the 1st page like most of us do. But from my personal experience, the 1st page ads are mostly agents. The most effective way in getting a room is go to that area you desire to stay and look for ads near the bus stops. If you have a relative in Singapore, it is much easier if they have a room or their friend have a room to rent it out. Then you can save a lot of trouble.

haha, agree, not i not so frequent like u la, mayb once a month. i have to drive back because if not, i go back KL no car use. But i stay in JB, so from JB to KL. hehe. But i poor ppl la, drive myvi only (malaysia car), so i will go home friday, bath then only travel back to KL on night time, arrive KL midnight so can enjoy the 10% toll charge discount also

its best to get in through recruitment agency. i recommended 3 friend, non of them got a call. my colleague also the same. Submit online, i think the chances are lower. Unless it is a recommendation from a management level people, if not, i think its easiest to get in through recruitment firm.
